The Terre Haute Gazette says Of
Strickland Gillian who lectures. Thurs
day night: He had fun about as
widely disseminated as could be man
aged in one evening by one man. Ev-
cry once in a while, Just when the
laughter was at its height, something
in the speakers voice and manner
changed, and 10, q strain OF pathos
had caught the audience as Mr. Gill;
Ian touched momentarily on the ten
derness Of some common experience.
There was notably no stopping places
for laughter or applause. The speak
er went lightly from one whimsical
thing to another, seemingly uncon-
scious that he was in any wise par
ticularly funny, condition that NOV
ed bis hearers to still more laughter.
The humorists' manner is essentially
one OF Mr.. Gillilan's charming traits
as a speaker. Mr.. Gillian is a hu-
morist and his fun is all close to
life, rippling with kindly suggestion
and illusion. There is nothing strain
ed about it, nothing bitter or sarcas-
tic. 1t leaves people who have
laughed better for 1t.

that the Fine Arts League is to pro-

a permanent public art gallery in Los

London holds the ribbon for the high

ing of Christina of Denmark by Hol-

Americans. among them being Mrs.
Frederick Mac Monies, noted for her
winter scenes; Paul Ullman, who shows
two portraits; Shannon, a portrait of

has attracted favorable comment and
admiration through the distinction of
both the work and the sitter.

OF Interest to Parents

Many are the parents who began early in their mar
red life to think of ways and means to save money
from their earnings to educate the boy or girl, or
both and prepare them for lifeS business careers.
Tt is impossible for the average wage to raise
the necessary funds time. They find it neceS-
sary to start this saving process, and lay aside small
amount as they can from the monthly earnings This
monthly weekly saving is placed in such manner
t,at if is safe and can be withdrawn any time and
is earning good interest This interest re-nveSted
thus compoundng quarter after quarter year after
wear and the result is that the amount available when
needed indeed most gratifying to the parents, as it
amounts to several times the total amount invested
and more than sufficient TO meet the demands.
You can find such investment with the Los
Angeles Investment Company You can invest 10
cents day or $1OO a week, or any amount you
desire at any time These savings begin to work for
YOU at once, and the quarterly dividends be re-
invested or drawn in cash.

MISS ETHEL BARRYMORE has
X1 achieved a genuine triumph in
LII her new play, Lady Frederick
a comedy in three acts by w. Somerset
Vaughan, in which she will be seen
at the Mason opera house for one week
beginning Monday, May 81. She mas
recently completed long run at the
Hudson theater in New York and APP
pears here with the original produc-
ton and company. In her new play
Miss Barrymore is seen as Lady Fred
erick Berroles, a fascinating Irish
widow of very slender means, but eX-
travagant tastes. She has host of
admirers and the most devoted of all
is young Lord Mereston, several years
her Junior. The play concerns the
successful efforts of the boys mother,
Lady Mereston, to prevent the match.
This attempt cleverly results in Lady
Frederick marrying the lords uncle
Paradine Fouldes, a former sutton.
Charles Frohman has provided a com
pany of exceptional merit for MISS

EEJACK STRAW was a highway
man, or something like that.
- and he's given his name TO
public house in Hamstead." That is
the way in which w. Somerset Maug-
ham explains the name of the char
acter played by John Drew in the new
comedy which will be seen at the
Mason the week beginning Monday,
June 7. In the first act Jack Straw is
waiter at a fashionable London
hotel One of the other characters
observes that he met Straw in the
United States when they were both
actors. This acquaintance also d.
vulges the information that Jack has
been a sailor before the mast, bar
tender in a New York saloon and an
engine driver on the Canadian Pacific
railroad The jack of all trades later
turns out to be a Pomeranian prince,
the favolite grandson of the emperor,
who has become a wanderer because
he was not allowed to marry vau-
deville actress. Admirers of Mr.. Drew
will recognize his fitness for role re-
curing such amazing versatility.
