wash clothes to perfection. We can do
it because we do nothing else-have
done nothing else for good while-b y
cause we have studied it. and thought
about it, and worked hard as any
painter ever did. 1t requires as much
hard work, and practice, and talent. to
make a good laundry as to make good
picture. Everybody can't paint pic

Polls is well filled this afternoon

great society drama, ..The Moth and
the Flame" and another large audi
ence is anticipated when the play is
repeated this evening. 1t being the
first time this play has been produced
here for popular scale of prices
there is naturally quite a patronage
extended. In a recent. article in a
prominent magazine the late DR. Hep
worth, in speaking of the relation be-
tween the church and the stage, said
that the play that best represented
the elimination of a lofty theme in
troduced in the most dramatic man
ner was "The Moth and the Flame. =,
The play had an immense success in
New York and elsewhere in the hands
of Herbert Kelley and Effie Shannon.
and it is one of the most effectively
constructed dramas that we have had
from the fertile pen of Clyde Fitch.
