CLEAN SWEEP SAlEAT HECnI'S
SEMI-ANNUAL STOCK CLEAR
ANCE BEGINS TOMORROW.
Custom Inaugurated Many Years
Ago Continues to Meet Com
mendation in Throngs at Sales.

The semi-annual clean sweep sale at
the Hecht stores will begin tomorrow
morning
The custom of semi-annual stock
clearance was inaugurated at this estab-
lishment many years ago. and has re-
ceived the hearty commentator of the
people of the District, as is shown by the
throngs that attend the sales and secure
the bargains that are presented in every
department of the great stores.
The citizens of Washington are famil-
lar with sales of various kinds and for
various pretexts. 1t is said that no other
store at any time places its entire stock
in forced clearance at prices which ad
NIT of no profit whatever; but in this sale
prices in nearly every instance are sub
stantially below cost.
| As stated by a member OF this well
known firm yesterday. these clean
sweep sales are arranged, not for the
purpose of protit-making, but in order to
| clear out stocks prior to stock-taking.
when every effort is made to have the
! lines at their lowest level. And the
| feature which commends them to the
well Informed shopper is that they are
not timed for the end of July, when the
need for the goods has practically passed,
but always occur at the height of the sea-
son. when the demand and need are
greatest.

THE Golden Girl" was only such in a
dream so far as the first meaning of the
word is concerned; golden" meaning ex-
cellent she was all the way through. Her
joint authors have in this minting gone
some distance from the silver and lead and
baser metal generally of the slangy Time,
the Place and the Girl" and THE Umpire
and have transmitted words and notes into
aureate coin.
Geographically the authors have moved
their creatures east. West Point is the
scene, with chorus men as cadets and the
girls as the fair young visitors who flock
to the point for graduation hops. Naturally
the girl is one of these and quite natu-
rally too there is a certain cadet badly
smitten with her. Two of them, in fact,
the second being as rich in money as the
other Is poor, but eventuating, of course,
a pauper In love. The girl has to hover a
little bit and though this is an old bottle,
some new wine is poured into 1t. 1t is
while hesitating that she has the dream
spoken OF and the rich youth is therein
invested with the powers of Midas to the
terror Of the girl.
Cadet Jefferson Carter, a yearling, is the
prize winner, with James Lucas-"Jimmy"
on the p~rogram-in the part. Lucas is a
capable comedian of quiet method and
something more. The part calls for a little
acting as a love-smitten youth and in this
respect Cadet Lucas also answers promptly
to roll call. He, too, has a dream, but a
funnier one. His ancestors appear and a
choice crew they are. Forthwith Lucas
sings II Think 1 Hear a Woodpecker
Knocking on My Family Tree" with a
dozen -encores resulting. Incidentally, IT
must be said that the four disreputable
ancestors are a funny lot and the whole
thing is the best in its line since the same
authors turned out that ballad about
Adam and Eve and Adams Funnybone.'
Additional comedy is supplied by Charles
Horn and Peter Raymond, who are two
veterans of the civil war, but of different
sides. The quarreling Of two elderly civil
war heroes might be thought a subject
which would transgress good taste, but in
stead some genuine humor is introduced
Both men are first-rate actors and they
characterize and do not parody.
There are two principal feminine roles.
The girl is played by Marie Flynn and a
West Point college widow" is represented
by Nina Davis. Both act capably and sing
well.
Scenically the production is a delight.
The curtain at the end of Act l descends
on dress parade and at the final lowering
Of the colors the orchestra is playing The
Star-Spangled Banner" The patriotic ap-
peal is rarely logical and not brutally thrust
in. The Midas dream in Act IL, Of course,
furnishes the chief opportunity for spec
tacuIar effect, but the whole staging is
lovely.

The beauty Of "The Wolf Is in its di-
rectness. its sincerity, its contrast of the
primeval passions Of man. one Of the
leading characters forcefully represents
the civilized man, the other with equal
force the simple man Of nature; the one
by his selfish sophistry ~5ustifies his wrong
doing on the ground of personal pleasure;
the other sees things in the open light Of
an unspoiled nature. Both are strong and
determined, and only death can end the
struggle between them. The woman COM
pletes the triangle. The other characters
in the play are but incidental. Jules
Beaubien wants Hilda because he loves
her; Mcdonald wants her because he lusts
for her. They have but one thing In COM
mon their courage.
All the world loves a lover, and surely
no more gallant lover than Jules Beaubien
ever wooed a girl. Tender and gentle. as
well as brave and strong, he spoke his
words Of love by indireetiOn, but just as
surely as II he had assailed her heart by
the straiEhtest line. And now he does
loom in contrast to the man Of civilizs-
ton. who finds himself pleased In pursu-
ing his pleasure at the expense OF the
innocent girls Of the great north woods.
So the audience follows Beaubien from
the beginning to the end with but the one
idea, and the play ends just that way.
Along it's course It holds attention firmly,
as 1t moves with swiftness from one point
to the next, rushing it's players on to the
catastrophe. and then to the climax. So
