AN INTERESTING
CONFESSION
THE NEW IDEA"
We have a hobby.

We have a hobby.
II concerns every man, woman and
child in town.
Our hobby is-but wait a moment
Suppose you are sick or one OF
your family is sick. You consult the
best physician you know of and he
gives you a prescription.
You have a right to take that pre-
scription to any, druggist, no matter
whose name is printed on it, You
have the same right to select your
druggist that you do to select your
doctor.
Particular people bring their pre-
scriptions to US, because our hobby Is
prescription work.
We take the same sort OF pride In
compounding every prescription the
very best way that an artist takes In
painting the very best picture he
can; the same that the conscientious
doctor takes in bringing his patients
back to health. i~Er
We know drugs; We know where

THEATER
TO BE BUILT BY BECK

New York.-There is to be built in
New York next fall a theater that
will never have an audience. There
will be no necessity for a name, for
1t is to be used purely for rehearsals
and is the project Of Martin Beck,
general manager OF the Orpheum cir
cult. 1t is To be situated at Nos. 224
and 226 West Forty-seventh street. In
the same building is to be a restau-
rant.
The necessity Of such building
has long been felt. Itg,is often ex-
tremely hard to hold rehearsals in, a
regular theater when 1t is to be used
the same day for play. In the re-
hearsal theater there will be a per-
fectly appointed stage, but an audi
torium' only big enough for those
who are to conduct the rehearsal.
1t will be the first building of it's
kind in America.
