We do not believe that our farmers will ever prosper as they should until they raise more corn. More corn means more hogs and smaller store accounts.

"The Gamblers"

THE Gamblers" a splendid four act
drama, produced at Polls. Waterbury
last Thursday evening for the frs;
time upon any stage, marks a definite
and important advance in Alicia Ram
sey's growth as a dramatist and gives
to the stage one Of the most bewilder
ing little artists, in the person of Mabel
Cameron, seen here in ages. Admirers
of Maude Adams, Billie Burke and
Ethel Bar"vmore will find in this won
derfully yer little woman all the IS
sential features of their art. and a
charm that will win her numberless
friends
Alicia Ramsey has written among
her most prominent plays John Hud
sons Wife" in which Hilda Spong
starred for a time, and "The Quick
sands" in which Wright Lorimer was
featured.
THE Gamblers is a strong, human
play, unfolded with great force. It's
situations are dramatic and plausible
the dialogue is smart and clever and
the Characterization natural and ap-
pealing. The story is suecinetly told
sufficiently distinct and absorbing to
entitle It to success. It has been
staged faithfully and has a third act
sufficiently vigorous and appealing to
carry it on to great success.
At the Broadway theater Wednesday
evening.
