New York, Dec. 2O.-Broadway has a
real Christmas play for the first time
in many seasons. Incidentally the first
snow of the season, either stage or nat
ural, foil at the Maxine Elliott theatre,
when "Things That Count" opened
there the other night, succeeding "The
Lure" of police and grand jury fame.
"The Things That Count" are children
which is as it should be in a Christmas
play, and the piece is itself one of the
few things theatrical that count in this
season of failures and near-fizzles.
The play has not much of a plot; it
does not tax the intellect or the credul-
ity to follow it, and it is filled with just
the right mixture Of laughter and tears,
snivels and shrieks, which is what the

disastrous season. That line of talk
is always heard about this time of the
year along Broadway, but in this in
stance it is more or less substantiated
by the facts. Shows have failed every.
where and their bleaching bones mark
the various circuits from coast to coast
and from Canada to the Gulf. Peculiar
/ twists have been noted, too, among the
plays that have gone by the board
Productions that have done fairly well
in New York, have failed utterly on the
, road, and other plays that have toured
successfully for weeks in the West and
Middle West, have failed signally on
coming to Broadway.
There are manay contributing causes
to this state of affairs. Primarily, of
course, the fault must lie with the plays
themselves. Few dramas or musical
comedies of real merit have been put
out this season. The play wrights seem
to have lost the knack. But contrib.
uting cause, heavily responsible is the
moving picture theatre. Every city in
the United States is now honey-combed
with movies" there being one OF
two in every neighborhood, easy to
reach without going down town.

100000 inhabitants and last year there

look for a winning team. The work
has consisted Of drills in signals,
running punts and tackling, and for
two hours each day the little fellows
have gone through this terrific strain.
Out Of forty men who will work
like the lads have done during the
past few days, the coach can pick a
team that will give the best of teams

few bruises and "cl1arley-horse," the
men are in first-ciass condition. and

Every day some new candidate
comes on the field and some of the
fellows who have tested the game
stay home to nurse sore muscles.

are last and husky, tho coach thinks
well of them.

Arkansas Bankers Favor Currency
Measure But Wants Small
Banks IncIudAd.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Representa-
tives of the smaller banks were be-
fore the Senate Committee on Bank
ing and Currency today. Those from
the South favored the proposed
legislation in the main, but like prac-

appeared, they had certain changes
which they believed ought to be made
to perfect the measure.
J. w. Bolton, OF the Rapides Stats
Bank of Alexandria, La. and George

favored the bill, but insisted that
state banks be permitted to come
into the system and retain their
present status and enjoy the privi-
leges guaranteed by their state
charters.
