company on Thursday, December l., at
The Crawford. Theatre-goeTs have voted
the musical comedy one OF the most en-
joyable seen in some time. 1t IS prob
ably the best musical comedy that has
been Americanized from George Ed
wardes London Gaiety Theatre. and II
has been received everywhere with much
enthusiasm and appreciation. jefferson
De Angels in the role of Sammy Gigg
has proved to be one of the most de-
lightful approximations given thus far by
him. 1t is a perfect fit to his unique
humor and quaint methods Of producing
comedy. Edgar Norton as Sir Archie
Slackett has made a hit of the most pro-

A Stocking Room.

All banks OF any size IN cities have
stock" rooms These are of two
elasses-one being where bonds and
stocks are examined by their owners and
the other where the stock stationery
ana the like is kept But only one bank
or earth has a stocking room, and
that bank is in Kansas City.
The stocking room in the National
Rsnk OF Commerce is for the exclusive
use OF women. of whom the bank has
900 as customers. 1t is one of a suite OF
four devoted 10 their use, the others be-
ing a reception room, waiting room,
and a lavatory, the last being sound
proof. walled in white marble and
wholly a gem. But these rooms. though
fitted up in mahogany and panels of bro
caded satin, are secondary TO the
stocking room, to which they are
merely adjuncts after all.
In word. the stocking room is the
apa rtn,ent into which women go to take
the money they wish TO deposit in the
bank from their stockings. Now, IT is a
lest and a byword among men that
woman carries her fortune in her hose,
but not many Of them believe that this
ia true Experience taught the bank Of
ficiaIs that it was the case. for many
and oft was the query made; Where
can we go to take out our money!
Hence. when the bank was enlarged re-
Gently. a room was provided just for
this purpose. 1t Is extremely private,
and is equipped with chairs and with lit
tie foot rests about the wall at conven-
tent height so that a woman may put
her. foot on a rest and secure the funds
wherewith TO make her deposit. Al
though not finished yet, the room has
already proved its right 10 be and is in
constant use.
The bank officials do not look upon
the stocking room as a joke by any
means but are perfectly sincere in OPP
Grating it. They have found it to be a
public necessity. so far as their women
customers are CONCERNED. But it doubt
less is the only room Of the sort in the
world. kansas City Journal
