best In his trade. Since that time
he engaged the services of an expert

These small acts alone added twelve
enumerations to Ogden's citizens.
But the primary cause OF the great
success Of Mr.. Ward has been. First,
the neatness OF his stores, 234l Wash

How Edgar Selwyn picked up the in

rected from It's lodgment and made
into a sketch that turned out TO be
one of the biggest successes ever pro-

There were four characters in the
one-act sketch-a chorus girl. a news
paper man, landlady and country
boy-played respectively by Joseph
Tuohy. Frank Sheridan. John DAILY
Murphy. and Donald Brian. Henry
B. Harris, who Is also Lamb, wit
messed this gambol. and Immediately
after the performance suggested 10
Selwyn that he elaborate his sketch
and make 1t into play. Mr.. Selwyn
agreed and Immediately set to work.
