CAST OF CHARACTERS IN
The Professors Love Story
Play by James N. Barrie

Barrie's whimsical idylI, THE Pro-
fessor's Love Story" justified its re-
vivaI by Frank Bacon and company at
the American theater last night. The
gentle humor of the pastoral comedy
kept the large audience in a ripple of
laughter throughout the three acts.
The players made the most of the hui
morous situations with which the
story abounds. but the struggle of
some of them to master the intricacies
Of Scottish dialect was a little more
funny than II was intended to be.
The collection of oddities through
the medium of whom the love story of
the absent minded, innocent, middle
aged professor is unfolded are of the
true Barrie cast, albeit the airy fan
tasy characterizing IN Peter PAN is
wanting. Frank Bacon made of Pro-
fessor Goodwillie charming charac-
ter who fully engaged the sympathies.
His forgetfulness and his fearful ig-
norance Of the wiles OF woman were
the elements of the part accentuated
by Bacon. The keynote of the charac-
ter is furnished by the professors in
quiry, How old am II" addressed to
his housemaid, and by the fact that
when told the ailment from which he
was suffering was love he instituted
diligent investigation to determine
who the woman was.
Louise Brownell efficiently filed the
part of Lucy White, the secretary,
whose entry into the life of the pro-
lessor TRANSPORTED existence for him.
A certain quaint coquetry was lent to
the part by Miss Brownell, and upon
the one or two occasions when serious
ness was demanded her acting full
filled all requirements Among the
other characters we'll handled were
those of Dowager Lady Gliding, by
Peggy Monroe; Lady Gliding, by
Elaine Davis; Sir George Gliding, by
Gerald Harcourt, and DR.. Cosens, by
VIII r. Abrams.
The Professors Love Story" will
run for the week.

whom has been in the hospital ever

To insure the two Locomotives in the
last Vanderbilt cup race, premiums

Florida and his meehanician, it will be
remembered, were unhurt
When asked about the great risk the
racing drivers took, George Robertson

there's some risk. but in a race we

Many wonder why men adopt such a
dangerous occupation. They do not

Some Food Facts

Doctor Abernethy, the English sur
geon of q generation ago, remarked
"One-fourth of what we eat keeps
US; the other three -fourths we keep
at our peril"
While somewhat exaggefative, yet
Il is well known by the best authorities
in diet matters that most of us eat
more than we actually need for the
proper sustenance of our bodies.
It is computed that a healthy adult
male will consume in one year one and
a half tons of food material. This in
eludes solids, liquids and oxygen.
Men are reputed to eat two-thirds
Of all the meat, and women one-third.
while four ffths of the alcoholic bev-
eraEes are consumed by men to
wonen's one-hfth; though, when 1t
comes 10 tea. women use more than
men.
Overtaxation of the digestive organs
by the eating habit" is a bad form Of
dissipation, causing, il is said, more
disease than alcoholic dissipation, the
latter sometimes even being due to the
former.
There is a physiological foundation
for the statement, laugh and grow
fat" since 1T is a well established fact
that pleasurabIe emotions favor
prompt and efficient digestion.
People of delicate digestion find much
less digestive disturbance if they take
half an hour OF complete relaxation
and rest just preceding and just after
meal.
