JEAN LIBBY HAS SIXTY
PLAYS READY FOR USE
is TRYING TO UPLIFT THE STAGE
IN NEW YORK.
"Love Expert" Makes Love the Cen
trail Thought; Lambasts Husband;
In Every Production There Is No
End of Thrills; Virtue Will Be
Triumphant; Some Dear, Lovable
Characters to Be introduced.

New York. August 3l.-With sixty
dramas already to be produced, Miss
Laura Jean Libbey, love expert is
preparing to carry out her plan to
help uplift the New York stage.
In every play there is no end of
thrills They will all end happily,
and perhaps-but only perhaps--Mies
Libbey herself will portray "a part i'll
one of them.
Il will write no more stories said
Miss Libbey. Il lave come to see
that the stage is the great pulpit.
There are many persons who do not
get to hear good. sermons, and many
of these people 90 to the theatre, so
they are going to be tremendously in
huenced by what plays they see.
Love the Central Element.
in all my plays love will be the
central element. | will show persons
estranged, but finally united i'll love.
New Workers, in my opinion, make
love better than anybody in the world: :
so they, | am sure, will appreciate my
plays. And all of my plays will end
happily. | will admit that that doesn't
always happen in real life, but it's
much better to make it out that way
on the stage
A certain class of husbands came in
for some severe criticism from Miss
plays he would have the poor girl
marrying the millionaire.
No she replied: Il do not think
such marriages are the happiest. |
think two persons with Il moderate
income between them are happiest OF
all.
Blames Husband for UnhappineSs.
"Of course. there is certain class
of husband who mar marriage. | am
of the opinion that the husband is to
blame for most OF the unhappy MARI
riages. Some of my plays will show
how he repels the tender. loving wife
and is unkind to her. But my plays
all will be developed with the idea
of showing life's troubles without i'll
PRODUCING real baseness. | will write
nothing that might bring blush to
the cheek of IA fair Young girl.
In all my plays virtue will be tri
umphant. There will be some dear
lovable old characters two sweet
hearts. and IA little child. None oil
my plays will be more than four act,
in length and most of them will enc
in three. That is long enough for /
play. | think. The scenes will be laiC
in America and there will be thrill:
and excitement from first to last
Sweet Dreams Are Shattered.
Miss Libbey admitted that many
sweet dreams of beautiful young girl
of life with men they marry for low,
can never be fulfilled
After people are married. she said
there isn't time for all the romano,
of courtship. Marriage is like runnin;
for il car. You run and get excited
and all out of breath When you'v
caught your car you sink down in
seat and are not excited any more

FORMER PRESIDENT INVADES
THAT STATE TODAY.
Everybody Was Willing to Tell the
Colonel What a Great Common
wealth He Was In; However, not a
Word Was Whispered to Him
That the Baby Crop Is Falling
Short; Spoke at OssawatOmie.

Topeka Kan. August 3i.-With
the people of Kansas welcome Theo-
dorc Roosevelt to this their fair state
today. The pride of pervading pros
pcrity was reflected in the smiling Wis
ages of the thousands who gathered at
Ossawatomic today to hear the praise
of the immortal John Brown from the
lips of one greater than even the Kan
sas hero whose soul goes marching on.
Great State Is Kansas.
The former President was not left
in ignorance of the greatness of the
once bleeding" state-of its broad
fields of waving wheat, worth the ran
som of thousand kings; of its cat
tie on hundred hills; of its great
factories, its mines and mills, it's bum
per corn and oats crops-of all these
was he told. Even the activities of
the helpful hen came in for need of
praise. Yet there was one subject on
which the eulogists of the SunhOwer
state were silent-silent as the grave.
IlcGe WAS Ollc TOPIC WHICH, tHcN dNotu-
ed, sidcstepped and tabooed. Regard
ing the baby crop of Kansas not one
word was said.
Tried to Keep it Quiet.
Every effort was made to keep the
truth from Mr.. Roosevelt, but the hor-
rid fact is that during the last few
years OF what the Kansas boomers
call ''unexampled prosperity" the baby
crop has been steadily declining. IN
1907 there We're 1890 infants born
within the borders OF the state The
| following year showed decrease of
ten. and tiguers recently complied for

crease of 2.l30 from the preceding year
! Several reasons have been given for
! this lamentable condition of affairs
The most likely is that Kansas WON
