the golden argosies have been garner
ed by the simoides OF the world OF
fiance. We are now down to bed rock.
To that stern reality which comes in
the "cOld gray dawn of the morning
after"
This being the case. there is then
very evidently no need for the fair lit
tie city Of Bryan to longer indulge in
day dreams. and be bllncsd by listen
ing with credulity to the whisperings
OF hope" We have got TO crack down,
and the only sane method OF proceed
ure is to start the year 1910 with an
active. wide-awake Business League.
with the names OF every business and
professional man in the city on its
rolls. The necessity for
a business league and the benefits to
come from II and through Il. have
been told so often that IL seems like
imposing on good nature TO refer to

True We have a Retail Merchants
Association and II has accomplished
much. but 1t is not in It's very nature
the thing needed for Bryan. II is or
ganized primarily to protect and pro
mote the interests OF the merchants.
which is good and should be kept up.
But what we need Is an organization
TO send our little town spinning along
the road Of progress. develop the great
resources of the county and tell the
outside world what we have and in
gite them to come and help and share
with us.
Let us have such an organization.
let US 40 after new enterprises. let us
put through the ones now in contem-

promote the general welfare and Sc

selves and our posterity.'

CHANGE Of PLANS
FOR BELASCO BILL
Miss Brown-Burglar" on
Card-Columbia and Ma
tional Offerings.

At the Belasco Theater next week
the BeIasco Theater Producing Com
pany will appear in new farcical
comedy in four acts, entitled Miss
Brown-Burglar." Owing TO a change
in the plans Of the Messrs. Shubert
the production of "The Europeans"
previously announced. viii be post
poned until later.
The change promises to be an inter-
esting one in several respects, one of
which lies in the fact that this COM
pany, hitherto seen only in serious
drama. viii be given an opportunity
in farcicaI comedy. In the lighter
scenes and comedy types depicted in
''The Son of His Father" and the
nameless play OF this week, the
Belasco players have amply demon
strated that they possess, in a marked
degree, the elements Of genuine com
edy Representations.
The action of Miss Brown-Burg-
lar takes place in London and
Devonshire. England. The majority of
the characters are persons moving in
sristocratic circles, and the title
comes from the fact that an English
society girl through complications of
rapidly moving events. is presumed
TO be q BURGLAR sort of female
Radies. The comedy requires the fall
strength Of the producing company.
