AT The GRAND

When Louis Mann presents his new
est play, "Elevating a Husband" at
the Grand tomorrow night, the public
will see one of the most interesting
characterizations of this eminent play
er's career. The public has become
so accustomed to seeing Mr.. Mann
in elderly roles, in which he is an I'M
doubted master, that it will be some
thing of a novelty to see him in a
part that requires no pronounced
change in his personal appearance.
Charles Sample, the character which
Mr. Mann makes known in "Elevating
a Husband is young New Yorker,
who has built up a successful business
but has neglected to cultivate the
gentle arts of polite society. He can
hold his own, and then some, in a
trade involving the sale of dime liter.
ature and stenciled paintings, but
Shakespeare and Corot are sealed
mysteries to him. He has a habit OF
saying me" for a." and even his
table etiquette leaves something to
be desired. The efforts of Samples

Chief Of Police Kohler, Cleveland:
"Women's carelessness makes Grim
inals The shoppers themselves are
to blame for the increase in crime
during the holidays. The woman who
carries her pocketbook loosely in her
hand invites theft by the very ease
with which it can be accomplished.
She should carry her money in her
stocking, where it is not constant
temptation to others"
Chief of Police Young, st. Louis:

style, there can be safety pocket.
She should carry her money, not in

Deputy Superintendent OF Polio
