been acted for total of 244 weeks;
yet It is actually only in its second
year so far as the big theatrical world
outside Of New York Is concerned. If
this combination OF figures sets you
guessing. find the answer IN the fact
that FIVE companies have been play
ing paid in Full' at the same time.
For the first year after the piece was
produced in New York and made the
sensational hit Of the period, only a
Broadway company was maintained.
When it became apparent to the Wag-
enhals & Kemper company that Broad
way had no intention Of parting with

it for two years-a second company
was organized for Chicago. Chicago
held on to II for six months. That
was summer before last when this eel
ebrated play achieved the unprecedent-
ed fame Of all-summer runs in both
New York and Chicago, the first drama
ever to have done so in either city.

Noted Hotel Man Tells How He Helped
Explorer Find North Pole.
When Simeon Ford appeared with
out his whiskers ut the thirty-tirSt an
nuaI dinner of the New York Hotel
Mems association ut the Waldorf Asto-
ria the other night. he wns received
with shouts of deriSion. Mr.. Ford ex-
planned that he. like Peary. had dis
covered a pole. only. he said. the pole
he had found was ut Park avenue and
FCrty-6rst street and had red and
white stripes around it. The speaker
added that be had never doubted that
Peary would discover the pole. since
he trained at the hotel of which he
was proprietor and contided TO him on
the eve of his departure that any one
who could stand it's rigors for two
years would find nothing in the frozen
north to daunt him.
81 contributed in my humble way
toward the discovery of the pole" said
Mr.. Ford Il gave Peary my best
wishes and Il copy of that great work
which contains the cream of my after
dinner speeches. Peary used TO read
it to the EskimOs during the long arc
tic night. and when spring came they
were willing and anxious to go out
and risk their lives on the ice foe
provided Peary would shut off his
flow.
Just before Peary got there a
Brooklyn gentleman named Cook dis
covered the pole from a distance of
several hundred miles. His eyesight
had been trained down at Bradley's
watching the little ivory ball drop into
the wrong compartment.
Scientists have demonstrated that at
the time Cook discovered the pole he
was headed for Palm Beach and going
strong; but. CHANGING to glance over
his shoulder - his left shoulder - he
thought he saw something which smell
ed like a pole.
81 do not care to take sides in this
controversy. but would advise DR.. Cook
to take out a liberal accident policy
before hobnobbing with Commander
Peary.

strength and undaunted courage. l
