1t seems to that Clyde Fitch retained the spirit
of Madame Flirt in the title The Frisky Mrs John

from the German Girls in place of the literal ransa
tion "A World without Men," Leo Dtrichstein may
have thought "Are You Mason?" an improvement on
the original title transferable as Lodge Brothers,

1t is frequently better, in the case of translated

of 1egerdeman lacking, is surely able to have
coins in his pocket to borrow some from specta

traordinary interest in magical doings with money.
And wonderful indeed of the things they do.
An East Indian juggler recently in this country used
to hand spectator coin generally silver halfdolar,
and bid him clasp it tightly in his hand telling him
the time to think of some country.
"Of what country you thinkng9" the magician
would ask

"Open your hand!' the magician would cry.
The coin had been transformed into ruble. If the

Naturally, in naming play, one should keep def

should focus attention the star part should indicate
a special period place; should suggest the
moral of the drama and should accomplish these ends
with much wit and originality possible. Rare

as "The Melting Pot and "The Easiest Way" are

we never hear of as THE Lady of the Caneas nor
do audiences in England where the first translation
by the way was called "Heartsease,' with Armand

But "NIagda" is a more strikingy illustrative in

Title After the Hero
THE tendency of the public to accept the name of

quickly observed by the keen eyes of Sardou who so

FOUND AFTER TWO YEARS
George Becker, Former Exc cutive of
Stoughton, Who Disappeared,
Found by Accident.

Stoug story of the dis
appearance and return of Ex-Mayor
George Becker of Stoughton is a
strange one.
Mr.. Becker left Stoughton two
years ago, no one knew where. Since
then his whereabouts have been a
mystery, both to his many friends in
the city and to his wife, who finally
gave up hope of again seeing him
alive.
A few weeks ago, William Gould,
an old friend, was in Conway Springs,
Kas. He met there a building con-
tractor, who, changed as he was, he
believed to be the missing mayor,
although the man denied ever having
been in Wisconsin. Mr.. Gould sus-
pected him of being slightly mentally
unbalanced and wrote to friends in
this city. A nephew was sent to
identify Mr.. Becker, and found 1t
was he.
Memories of his home in Wiscon-
sin were recalled to Mr.. Becker S
mind, and he was induced to return
to StOughtOn.
