Dallas has certain merchant who
says that advertising "doesn It pay"
and so far as known his name has
never appeared in a local newspaper
in connection with any advertise
ment of his wares. All-right-that s
his business, Yet, some weeks ago
The Observer printed for two issues
a large advertisement for certain
Salem grocery concern. Inasmuch
as but one grocery firm of Dallas
patronized our columns at that time
we accepted the Salem advertisement
at regular rates, yet the loudest in
his objections to The Observer
printing Salem advertising" was
this same man who declared to a /
representative of this paper that
advertising didn't pay" If it
didn't pay why did he howl over the
Salem ad. The answer is obvious.
lie knows that it pays, when prop
erly handled, and the only reason
he refused to patronize the columns
of the local press was probably be-
cause he is either too indolent to 90
after more business or too flight
listed to pay for space and spend his
dollar unless he is absolutely GER {
ain of grabbing two in return. For t
for Dallas future prospects c
uch men are in the minority here. O

If you had been importuning play
wrights for years to write sou a GER
tain kind of play and yet never could
get the proper vehicle to star in, what
would you do? Write play your
self? Well, this Is just what Robert
Edeson has gone and done Mr.. Eide
son has not had play that was per
feet satisfactory to him since Strong
heart" his famous football Indian
piece. in which he scored his greatest
success. He has tried II vain to Sc
cure piece to his liking, but wheth-
er Il has been his fault or that OF the
play builders, ~ any rate he has
been unsuroes sful. About a year ago
the idea of writing a play for himself
entered Mr.. Blossoms head. He had
just discarded The Noble Spaniard,"
an English piece which was entirety
unsatisfactory. While he had never at
tempted playwrlting yet his long stage
experience made the task simpler for
Mr. Edeson with It would be for many
la hign class writer with no practical
stage experience. AT this psychology
cal moment the star Glanced to look
over the literary column Of the
Springfield. Mass ,sUnion, and noticed
a review OF VIII Lillibridges novel,
Where the Trail Divides" The re-
viewer commented on the book favor
ably and closed HIS notice with a
paragraph stating that he would very
much like to sec the novel dramatized
and played BY Robert Edeson This
note aud the fact that the story con-
eerned a Sioux indian. Mr.. Blossoms
favorite stage tgpe. induced him 10
eecure copy of the book and read It..
He was at once struck with the idea,
which deals with an indian who Is

married to a white girl, and finds she
is in love with white man, then
Agrees to leave her and allow her
to secure a divorce and marry the
white man. 1t took him only a few
hours to decide to write play on
Ithis idea and all last season he spent
his spare moments on the manuscript.
When he closed his season and re
turned to New York early in May he
read the finished play to his manager
Henry b. Harris, They decided ON an
immediate production of the play and
it was actually produced at the Colon
ial theater in Boston after only five
days rehearsal. 1t was received very
