TheCanteen.

From many quarters we are asked how 10
reconcile our attitude toward saloons with our
defense of the army canteen. The absolute pro
hibition of liquor is very radical step in a
nation made Of peoples who have been taking
alcohol for two thousand years or more; but this
radical step seems the only way in many districts
TO destroy the dive and its awful consequences
The canteeR was a sane compromise. 1t offered
no inducements to drunkenness. No business
interests" trying to extend sales by vicious
means were behind it. No women were con-
eerned. 1t was worlds better than that cluster
of saloons that now fringes every army post.
incidentally, the enemies Of that new canteen
bill behind which are all the army hopes, have
given wide publication to statistics showing that
military arrests for drunkenness have decreased
since the canteeE was abolished. Any officer
of The line could answer that argument. Now
adays the soldier gets drunk off the reservation.
When he is picked up, paralyzed in some door
way. the civil authorities arrest him and tels-
phone the news to bis commanding officer. The
officer usually allows the civil law to take its
course and deems that punishment enough. If
he wishes to be very severe, he tries the soldier
for absence without leave. Have the anti -canteen
people looked into the statistics on that slight

Sam Bernard-Comsdian.

There was lot of rich and healthy
fun to be had during the past week at
the National Theater where that very
elever. comedian, Sam Bernard, held
forth In the character of the rich Mr..
Hoggenheimer. a character that has been
in the process of building for some two
years now, and which has become we'll
rounded. carefully drawn and. if d bit
exaggerated. at least excruciatingly
funny Mr.. Bernard is what Is known
in stage pariance as a natural comedian
that is. he does not have to work so
hard as some would-be funny men to get
his audience laughing. He has great
personal magnetism and an unctuOus
spirit that reaches out over the foot
lights and makes the actor one with his
audience. He possesses the true comedy
spirit In a marked degree, and much of
the best comedy in this funny play Of
his was interpolated by himself. He
knows, too, the value Of contrast and
shading and nothing is more skillful In
the characterization Of this rich and &C.
centric Hoggenheimer than the little
touches Of pathos-the pathos OF the old
mans wonderful love for his bOy-which
lend the comedy that follows great addi-
tional value.
With the performance last night at
the National Mr.. Bernard closes his sea-
son in this comedy, which has been most
successful. He goes into New York TO
join the Shubert forces and to rehearse
a new comedy OF which he Is part author
and in which he hopes TO star in and
around New York for a long season. He
feels that he deserves an engagement
that will allow him to stay pretty close
20 his home in New York, and although
there is no doubt but that he could make
q small fortune by continuing to play in
The Rich Mr.. Hoggenheimer" it would
be necessary for him to play in a number
OF the smaller cities and to travel pretty
continuously
Like so many successful comedians. Mr..
Bernard is a graduate of the burlesque
theater-an excellent training school. For
many years De had 20 work very hard
a1d for comparatively little money but
"rbs Girl from Kays" changed all that:
developed Bernard into star. as il
also did Miss Hattie Williams. The
popularity of Hoggenheimer meant for
tune as we'll as fame, and now Mr.. Ber-
nard hopes to conf1ne his playing to New
York Boston, Washington, Baltimore.
Philadelphia, and, perhaps, Pittsburg and
Chicago. He has worked his way up in
the theatrical world until he is undoubt-
