Clyde Fitch builded better than he
knew when he wrote "Girls," the big
DAILY theater comedy success. which
will be presented under the direction
of Sam s. and Lee shubert at the
was to be presupposed that anything
from the pen of Clyde Fitch. dealing
with the eternal question Of feminlnlty
and its foibles, would prove to be the
work Of master craftsman. But not
even the Messrs. Shubert were pre-
pared for the avalanche Of approval
with which this play was received
Girls" in the comedy class is what
the ''Witching Hour Is in the dramatic
class-the biggest hit Of the season.
The play deals with the adventures
of three bachelor girls, who have sworn
mighty oath on an impressive hat
pin that never, so long as they live,
will they permit themselves to be de-
pendent upon man. With this resolu-
ton firmly fixed in their minds. but
unfortunately not so firmly fixed IN.
their hearts, they start out to do battle
with the world. No man Is ever seen
in their company and no mans shadow
ever, casts its silhouette on their cur
tains. But the man comes neverthe-
less. He comes in the night, seeking
refuge from an irate but mistaken hus-
band, who has pursued him down two
flights of stairs into the very den
Of the man-haters. Subsequently the
girls secure positions in law office,
in which they are surrounded by men.
The inevitable happens, as of course 1t
must always happen, and as it has al
ways happened since the tragedy in
the Garden of Eden.
There is no question about the sue
cess Of a play that is properly based
on the subject Of woman. In Girls
Mr. Fitch has avoided the slightest ap-
proach to a problem and has made
the whole action Of the piece breathe
the spirit Of girls who are girls, and
who, when they become women, are
women.
The cast provided by the Messrs.
Shubert is one Of unusual brilliancy,
the members having been selected with
careful eye regarding their fitness
for the various roles. The production
is very elaborate and is correct down
to the smallest detail. Seats go on

Glow Of Health Speaks for Postum

It requires no scientific training to
discover whether coffee disagrees or
not.

Postum in place of it, then note the
beneficial effects The truth will ap-

and insomnia

drinker, but it was long before could
be persuaded that it was coffee that
hurt me. Finally I decided to leave it
off a few days and find out the truth.
"The first morning I left off coffee
had a raging headache. so j decided l
must have something to take the place
of coffee" (The headache was caused
by the reaction of the coffee drug
caffeine)
"Having heard of Postum thru a
friend who used it, / bought package
and tried it, did not like it at first but
after / learned how to make 1T right,
according to directions on package, !
would not change back to coffee for
anything.
"When I began to use Postum
weighed only III pounds. Now weigh
ITO and as I have not taken any tonic
in that time I can only attribute my
recovery of good health to the use of
Postum in place of coffee.
