THE SCARLET OF ROYS, ALAS,
HAS NOW TURNED TO BLACK

Mr.. Rydstrom has told us, and
sure he Is the busy little bee,
that Roys is a most noble man.
A shrewd campaign manager is
Rydstrom, so Ryddy says, and
who would say him nay? Casting
about for some method of burn
ing into the plebiens what char
acteristic most represented the
Roys administration, Ryddy had a
lucky thought. The thought took
action and above the streets float
ed a scarlet banner, telling folks
to vote for Roys.
But, alas, and alack. AS Ryddy

SEATTLE, May 12.-Why do
more people go to see play like

This question was asked Fred

he nearly tripped over one in his

plainly.
This is the greatest material
era in the history of the world, !"
he said. "The changes in COM
merce and invention are wonder
full. The stage could not escape
the material trend of modern
days.
"The things of today make up
the stage plots. First it was
French realism, today it is the
problem plays. Then there are
the musical comedies and the sal
acious, prurient plays like the
Girl From Rector's.'
"The people of today are too
busy, too material, for the i'm
aginative plays that make Shakes
peare immortal.
But the life of these plays of
today is short. They remember
the kind 1 represent-they will
even be kind enough to remember
those who have played them"
