STURDY SURVIVORS FROM

visit to England TO resume her role in

related to the author of the Scotch play,
was among the actors who resumed their
original roles last week. 1t was at one
time intended to present "Fanny's First
Play" at the Comedy Theater, New York,

comedy made any change there impos-
sible.

summer months without interruption and
there Is no evidence that the public de-
sire to see Broadhurst's study of cheap
phases of New York life has by any means
been satisfied. 1t is surely true that in
this play Mr.. Broadhurst has been mark

and melodrama. The popularity of that
blend Is also proved by the enduring
success of The Greyhound

crop of successes is "Disra ell" which be-
gan last night a Wallack's Theater, New
York. The play still has George Arliss
as its protagonist, and some of the other
actors responsible for its success last
year are Margaret Dale, Elsie Leslie and
Marguerite St. John. The play will be
acted for five weeks and at the end of
that time will have put to its credit 329
performances at this theater. Altogether

BY the use of perfect baking
powder the house wife can derive as
much economy as from anv other
article used in baking and cooking.
In selecting a baking powder. there
tore. care should be exercised to pur-
chase one that retains its original
strength and ALWAYS remains the
same. thus making the food sweet
and wholesome and producing
sufficient eavening gas to make the
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is
produced by the cheap baking pow
ders. making il necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily re-
quirt,d to secure good results.
You cannot experiment every time
you make cake or biecuits, or test
the strength Of your baking pow der
To find out how much Of it you
should use; yet with most baking
powders you should do this. for they
are put together so careles~ly they
are never uniform. the quality and
