Expedition.
THE Undying Story of Capt. Scott and
Animal Life in the Antarctic" enters
upon the second week at the Belasco
Theater.
One fact of the Capt. Scott expedition.
which is of interest 10 army and navy
men is that every officer was a naval
man prominent for some special ability,
which would be of service in the polar
regions, and the petty officers and men
were the pick of the navy and the
merchant service.
With regard to the personnel of the
expedition, it is interesting to note that
in a speech made in London just before
leaving for the far south, Capt. Scott
said that there had been nearly 1000
applications to join the expedition, and
that he could have manned the entire
ship with army officers. willing not only
TO go for nothing. but willing, moreover,
to pay $500 each for the privilege of
going. had he been prepared to accept
their services. The services of these
volunteers were courteously defined, as
ii was necessary that each individual
member of the expedition should possess
some knowledge that would enable him
to take full advantage of the opportunity
afforded for the prosecution of his
scientific studies.

The CoIumbia--"Thc Road to Yes
terday."

The Columbia Players will present this
week Beulah Marie Dix and Evelyn G.
Sutherland's fantastic comedy, "The
Road to Yesterday" 1t is a play that
caught the fancy of the New Workers
when it was first produced at the Herald
original cast the biggest hits were made
by Minnie Dupree, as Elspeth Tyrell;
Helen Ware, as the gypsy, Malena Lew
eson: White Whittlesey. as Kenelm Paul
ton, and Robert Dempster, as Jack
Greatorex. These parts will be played
in the current production By Helen
Holmes, Carrie Thatcher. Willard Rob-
ertson, and A. II. Van Buren,.
The play deals with the story of a
young girl whose sightseeing tour of
London has carried her into historic
places that inspire her with such ad-
rniration of the associations that she
wishes with all her heart to be trans
ported back to the days of chivalry and
romance In her dreams the transition
is effected, and the second and third
acts disclose conditions 300 years ago
To further unfold the story would be to
rob the performance of much of its
charm, its delicacy of humor, its dainti-
ness and imagination. AS the key to
the enjoyment of the entire play is to
be found in the early part Of the first
act patrons are especially urged to be
in their seats before the rise Of the cur
tain as no one will be seated during the
progress of the first act,

GETTING the Habit,

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that to
get out of the habit of enjoyment is to
get depressed in vitality and vigor, to
weaken in efficiency and to grow old
before ones time. There is nothing
like laughter-not empty headed laugh
ter, but the intelligent, wholesome
kindly-hearted kind-to keep people
young and fresh, and fit for the bust
ness and the obligations of living. OF
course. this is a prescription not easy
to live up to always, but there is no
reasonable excuse for not trying to do
it. Sometimes it is just about as easy
to be happy as to be miserable, if one
makes up his mind to it, and there is
no doubt at all as to which pays the
best.
