FAMOUS AMERICAN COMEDY
A Gentleman From Mississippi AT The
Colonial Theatre Saturday Matinee
And Night

The biggest comedy hit in twenty
years, "A Gentleman from Missis.
sippi, will be shown here tomorrow
night at the Colonial Theatre by Will
liam A. Brady, who sends to this city
a special cast headed by Robert A.
Fischer, as Senator Langdon, and
John Butler, as Bud Haines, the re-
porter.
The hit of the play has not been
confined to New York, for it has been
through run of eight months in
Chicago, five months in Philadelphia
and four months in Boston. and,
strange to relate, with the press a
unit as to the merits of the piece.
A Gentleman from Mississippi"
is genuine comedy. There is not a
line in its four acts that is not in
the spirit of pure comedy. by
which is meant a play that truly re-
very lightly upon the tragic aspect
that must, sooner or later, darken
all lives not conducted according to
the strict moral law.
In this play the characters of
Carolina Langdon, Senator Lang
don's lovely elder daughter, and
Charles Norton, member of the
House of Representatives from Mis-
sissippi, are shown as bearing a
burden of wrong they seek to do
to the fair name of the girls fine
minded father. They think they can
enrich themselves at the expense
of the nation if they can show him
to be mixed up in the deal that is to
have such rich fruit.
But the father has taken into his
service a young newspaper man, Bud
Haines, alert as a deer and smart ,'as
a whip, and this spry youngster, his
interest whetted by his love for the
new Senator's daughter, shows all
concerned the way out of the darkness
which few minutes of deceit have
plunged them. In a comedy so true
to everyday life and character as
this is, and in one so free from the
devices of the theatrical, a great
deal depends upon the manner in
which it is played.

executive has had to contend with in the past few
years has the maintaining of satisfactory oper

to the establishment of such satisfactory ratio the
school work of this unique institution is directed.

a means of operating a railroad more economically

Possibilities for Economy.

"In only three or four directions is it now posi-
BILE to make appreciably large economies" says Mr..
Buell. The executive must endeavor to reduce oper-
atng expenses through fuel economies tonnage
omies, reduction of accidents and claims increasing
the efficiency Of officials and employee"
These things the railroad college is attempting
and is apparently in fair way to accomplish in
time The education Afforded through its courses
would appear to be directly in line with the thought
OF Lawyer Brandeis Of Boston, when he asserted
there III altogether too much waste allowed because
of inefhciency in operating American railroad prop
critics
Now, 1t should be noted" says Buell., that the
realization Of the first and third conditions named
among possible economies depends on the accomplish
ment Of the fourth and that aside from the consid
Grafton of capital expenditures for heavier power or
grade reductions, economies under the second head
also depend the fourth In other words the oppor-
tunites for realizing efficient and economical
railroad operation depend today largely on the rail-
road managers ability to increase the efficiency of
his officials and employees. Realizing these truths the
Union Pacific looked this problem square in the face
year and half and set itself the task of accom-
plishing results along the line OF increasing the
efficiency of its workers, high and low"
The essential idea which the work is planned
and carried forward is that the school every
employe something; can help him in some way. Not
