CLEANING
PATENTS ABSORBED
Inventors War at an End and Era
of Cheaper Prices at
Hand.

An industry which most housewives
will declare already ranks IN importance
with steam heating and plumbing is
vacuum cleaning-that process by which
the spring cleaning or the cleaning of
any other season. is done without Just
or confusion, and more thoroughly than
II ever was by means Of the most pains
taxing, oid-fashiOned broom and duster
This luxurious method Of house clean
ing, has, however. been endangered by
the fact-not Of too few but OF too
many patents, covering the process.
There were no less than eighty-five Of
these, so that they were constantly in
ringing upon one anOther's rights, and
threatening TO involve the public IN a
law suit every time the public had a
house cleaning. 1t IS said that there
were no less than elghty-five different
patents issued different vacuum clean
ing manufacturing concerns.
The latest development In vacuum
cleaning. however, is the consolidation
of these various patent rights. which
have been absorbed by the McCrum-
Howell manufacturers Of the Rich
mOnd' vacuum cleaning systems. with
headquarters IN New York This absorb
tion of patents by a single company,
will, IL is asserted, end the war of in
VentOrs and bring about cheaper prices
for vacuum cleaning.

SUCCESS IS SCORED
IN DAVID GARR|CK'
Ben Greet Players Give
Pleasing and Capable
Performance.

Few plays are richer in their asso-
Citations with names Of great import
in the theatrical world than David
Garrick." Thus one experiences
something akin to fear when waiting
for the curtain 20 rise on what has
long been one % the classics OF Eng
lish comedy, lest pleasant recoIlec-
tions be marred.
Such fears IL developed were quite
groundless with the production given
last night at the Belasco Theater, by
the Ben Greet players. for II proved
one OF the most successful ventures
OF the engagement of these players
in their revivals Of old favorites.
Each week brings forth some new
favorite I'm this company. Last night
A. HTton Allen had his opportunity
in the title role. He took full advan-
tage of IL and the result was a

glad 70 have known.
Mr. Aliens personality is we'll suited
to the role, while his voice is rich and
full. He realized fully the possibilities
of the famous second act. and his sue

triumph.
George Vivian presented a Squire
Chivey, who was full Of life and action
J, Sayer Crawley was less happily cast
as Simon Ingot- Ris reading lacked that
individuality OF expression OF which he
has proved the possession in other roles
The work Of Robert Brayle, as Jones,
made one wonder if he would not have
been a wise choice for Ingot. AS Ada
Ingot Miss Violet Vivian was no less
charming than usual. though subordin-
ated by the playwright.
Charles Hopkins was effective in the
character role of Smith. Miss Grace
Halsey Mills and Miss Araminta Browne
also appeared in character parts.
In the one-act comedy, THE Burglar
and the Judge which preceded the per
Torrance OF David Garrick," Mr.
Crawley came into his own again. His
Cockney, as the burglar, Joe Searle, was
delicious. George Vivian proved his yer

performance as the butler

COLUMBIA PLAYERS
SEEN AT THEIR BEST
Walter Wilson and Pullman
Children Achieve Triumph
in "Salomy Jane"

Paul Armstrong; powerful drama,
"Salony Jane based upon Bret Harte's
story of the same name, which the Co
lumbia Players are presenting this week,
is In many respects the best offering so
far OF the summer season at the Co
lumbia.
Primarily, this is due 20 Mr.. Harte, for
the scene is laid in California in the
golden DAYS that lend themselves so
readily to the pen Of author and
dramatist. and he has painted these
scenes AMI the virile characters OF the
great w, Z so vividly that IL is all
very real On the stage This is espe-
ciaIly noticeable in the lines OF the
three children, who play so important a
part In the story and play for IN them
he has SHOWN an insight into childlife
rarely seen.
But this does not detract in the least
from the credit due both the players for
their good work and Stage Director
Curtis for the excellent way IN which
the pro elton IS staged.
While Julia Dean last night gave a
most capab bic Interpretation of the title

As the loquaciOus old Kentucky COL

benefit Of others. full Of bombast but not

even on those who have been watching
his character work in other produc-
tiOns.
Especial mention also is due the three
