Not Destroying tho Theater.

cal critic of that publication, writes an
article entitled, THE Menace of the

that the so-called Legitimate theater'
IS increasing in numbers and import
ance in spite Of the great development
Of the moving picture business. ON
| this point he SAYS:
During the same decade which has
witnessed the rise of the movies the
| number Of new first class theaters in
our cities has in some cases more than
doubled, keeping far ahead of the
growth Of population, ana at the same
| time has arisen the new interest IN

composition and study in our colleges.
the sudden new demands for plays in
printed form, and finally the growth
of native drama Even us the movies
were coming on like a Kansas cyclone,
then the true playhouse was burscon-
ing with new life.
In order to anticipate the obvious
objection mere, let us hasten to say
that il is perfectly true that the great
number ot new conventional play
houses was i'm considerable measure
due to artificial causes-that is, rather
to the rivalry between the Syndicate
and the Independent group of NINA

AUTOMOBILE IS
POLITICAL FORCE
Brings Influence of Owners to
Bear on Good Roads

The automobile is exercising a
mighty political influence in the ia
terests of good roads in all parts of
the United States today For a mum
Der of years this power has been con
sistently and mistakenly working IN
municipal councils. county commits
sions, state legislatures and in The
national congress for better highways
throughout the nation. The automo-
bile has won many an important good
roads victory. II is welding lis force
right now.
In January, 1913, there were l,00O,0OJ
automobiles in actual service In In"
United States. Every one of these
| 900, 900 car owners IS an enthusiast
for good roads. No matter how eff
cient, durable, easy riding an automo-
bile Is, the fullncss of motor car pleas
ure cannot be obtained unless the
roads travelled are in good condition.
The minute IA man purchases ear,
that same minute does he become
propaganda of the good roads idea.
RutOtStS FIdNc OtFcH9t'.
II can be estimated that there are
on AN average. two voters To every
family possessing an automobile. That
means 100000 voters in the United
states pledged to fight in their re-
spectiva territories for good roads. And
| the activity shown Il, present in all
PARTS Of the country tor serviccabIe
highways indicates that the aatomo-
| bile has driven these 2,6O0,00O men IN
| to the firing line.
TO this army may be added the
| thousands Of men whose livelihood is
| vitality linked with the manufacture
! and sale of motor ears. These men
have been and are aggressive in the
| battle Tor good roads because of its inn
| rortance to the growth and develop
ment of the industry
| The records of the automobile bust
ness show today that the farmer is
the big purchaser of cars. Although
always advocates of good roads, the
farmers owning automobiles are to-
day the leaders i'm the sectional and
\ natlOn1l movements ioI ldNpi dbio
