GLIDDEN TOUR
 COMING OUR WAY
Stuttgart Hay Have .iH Opportunity ; to See the Long Distance Auto
 Drivers and Machines.

". VI. Price recently received a let ter from a gentleman interested in the Glidden tour, to be taken in June, inquirino about the conditions of the roads between this "itv and Helena. and also from Stuttgart to Little Rock, says the Stuttgart ..ril- ansawyer.
 This tour is of national importance and very probable one hundred cars will participate.
 The Glidden tour has not been def initely arranged for but it will prob ably begin at Cincinnati and end in Chicago. The start will likely be made in June this year and the trip will be to the southwest, covering a distance of 2,220 miles.
 The tentative route is as follows: Cincinnati, O.; Louisville, Ky; Nashville, Tenn; Memphis, > Tenn ; Little Rock, Ark; Dallas, Texas; Ok lahoma City, Okla; Wichita, Kan. Topeka, Kan; St. Joseph, Mo-; Des Moines, Iowa: Cedar Rapids, Iowa :: Davenport, Iowa, and Chicago.
 Should this route be selected the cars will probably come from Mem- phis through Helena and Stuttgart to Little Rock. It is understood that the people locating the route of this tour are selecting as near as noee'N'o Q towns that have garages where they can procure auto supplies, and if this is the case Stuttgart will surely not be left off the route.

The usual warm welcome awaits the return of Tim Murphy, under the management of Louis F.

 AAn unusually strong cast is requir- ed and in Tim Murphy's are to be found some celebrated players. Miss Dorothy Sherrod will give the star his principal support. The produc- tion will also be distinguished by ex- |ceptionally beautiful gowns the ladies will wear.
 MT. Murphy's role is that of a straight-grained, clear headed warm souled and happy-hearted American seeking to untangle complicated romance and weave his way out of the many amusing situations into which the story and his own whimsi- cal personality lead him.
 In this sort of a role he is unap- proachable. It is often likened to his and Sol Smith Russell's delightful personation of the editor in "A Bachelors Romance"
 Artists capable of realizing the humor and pathos of such essential ly lovable human beings, instead of creating mere theatrical puppets have all but disappeared w. J. Florence had such a role in 'fThe Mighty Dollar" Sol Smith Russell as a bachelor; Nat Goodwin in the An American Citizen,' John T. Raymond in "Col. Mulberry Sellers;'' and Frank Mayo in ''Pudde'n Head Will son. but the traditions of this school of American humor seem now com pletely in the custody of Mr. Mur- phys youthful art.
