Wv his latest family party a
drama, a comedy or a farce
Take My Advice is plainly and truth
fully described on the program as q
new entertainment in three acts.
It may not instruct. nor might Ar
mold Daily choose it for one of hts at
ternoon "upliftings" of the stage but
that it does entertain for every min
ute of those three acts is amply at
tested by the audiences that flock
nightly to the Fulton theater and that
stay, TO the last man or woman, until
the curtain drops for the final time.
As the Christmas season is the time
of times for merry making, there can
be no better method Of getting ones
self into the proper spirit for it than
by joining the thrOng where smiles
are not only contagious, but actually
epidemic
Physical culturists and all the otner
health cuturists, ought to be tipped off
that they can't do any better than TO
order their patients or pupils, or what
ever il is they call EN-, TO sit under
the Fulton vine and fig tree for few
hours once or twice a week and invite
health by way of the laughing gas Mr..
Collier hands out. Doctors of all
schools agree in one thing at least,
namely that there is nothing Ike .ex-
ercising the risibles to attain health.
Smiles and Laughs.
1t has been rumored that quite a
number of women inclined to avOlrdu-
pOis have restrained themselves from
seeing Take Ny Advice. just on the
score that to laugh is to grow fat, but
latterly, it is understood, some Of them
have hit upon the idea Of taking an
extra swimming lesson or an addition
al daV or two in the rubber Jacket
going without dinner, as well as break
fast and luncheon. for week, or in
some way cOunteracting the effect the
play is supposed to have, and then
boldly CHANGING results. However that
may be, there must be more slim peo-
pie in the world than would be imag-
ined from the vail constantly heard
from every side. How can / reduceZ
and from the columns of matter to
which the newspapers. give space on.
How to grow sylph-like, for, to re-
peat, there is a full house at the Full
ton every night
Many fortune beside -RIr. Golfers
has been made through the medium OF
a smile. It's an open sesame any
time. As a matter Of fact it's about
the best asset either man or woman
can have and is one of those virtues
which should be assumed if one has it
not. 1t is a habit and, therefore, may
be acquired
Paris has a school or two devoted TO
intoxicating the art Of smiling, and,
just in passing, the lessons go some
thing like this: First comes a facial
massage, then the pupil stands before
one of the long cheval glasses that
are ranged around the class room and
is told to fdrOp the muscles Of the
face" which means to relax them and
let go all expression. The next COM
mand is to twist the couth in rotary
fashion, keeping it closed during the
process. Then comes the attempt to
smile, and William Collier cOS-a easily
qualify as teacher of this particular
phase of the lesson. because he ac-
complishes his own smile according to
the best method. DO YOU notice how it
comes into being by almost imperCept-
ible degrees, like ripp]E oyer the
clear surface of a pond and disap-
pears in the same way. Well, that's
the way to smiIe-otherwise the smile
becomes a smirk. At least, that's what
All Have the Smile.
Tt might be remarked here, as a CO.
incidence, that a man in the cast Of
Take NY Advice" Charles Dow Clark !
isn't one of the family, either, and in
the play he takes the part of a sancti- /
mOnious old professor. While, in the
part, there is only the most occasional |
opportunity for a smile, except from |
the audience, and then it's usually a |
laugh, Mr.. Clark's own natural smile /
is strangely COllier-like, and in pri- |
vate life, he has something of the Col 1
lier sense Of humOr and method OF eX-
plotting it.
With such a home-like unpretentious 1
setting it goes almost without saying 4
that there is small opportunity az /
fOrded for fashionable gowns, but the 1
few that appear are pretty and well I
carried. which is even more to the /
point
Mrs. Clark, who in real life is Mr..
Golfers sister, and who, incidentally
owns an interest in the family smile, /
is always pretty. She is the sort who !
would. be adorable in anything from
rags to ermine.
In the first act she has a dull blue
satin frock with a tunic Cluny net in
Duchesse and gold beads, the Duchesse
being in natural color. The tunfc
