Is more wisdom in that simple
inquiry than in many a pretentious
article. When a human being has
learned to say and believe that bluff
does not pay. he has found the for.
mula OF happiness. Much domestic
misery results from the fact that
one member Of the matrimonial nrm
believes in spending only for real
values and the other looks upon
the entire family income as an ad-
vertising fund. There Is a tendency
to assume that 1t is always the wife
who sets the pace for excessive ex-
penditure. though 1t is sometimes
asserted that wives are extravagant
in dress and in entertaining because
their husbands compel them to ad-
vertise the prosperity Of the house,

wives are responsible makes very

CADILLAC.

Charles Robinson and the Robinson
Crusoe Girls won high favor in the
opening performance, Sunday. in the
Cadillac theater. OF brand new musi-
cal farce entitled, The Beauty Trim
mers." The rollicking burletta gave
opportunity for much comedy and
several songs. Among the latter
which pleased the crowd most were.
a novelty duet called, II Never Heard
OF Anyone Dying OF a Kiss" by
Charles Robinson and Ida Emerson,
and I'D Like to Call You On the
Phone by Mabel Lee and the chorus.
The phone song scored hit when
Robinson and other members of the
cast helped out from the floor OF the
theater with an imitation of the vic
Tins OF poor service.
The program closed with a short
farce called Solomon the Soldier"
Between the two farces is an olio
featured by the approximations Of
Robinson and the singing and dancing
of the Dancing Harmonists, quar-
tet of men. 1t includes also a
classy" cabaret act by Mabel Lee and
May Bernhard, and satire upon the
woes OF a parcel post man by Ida
Emerson and Harry Hills.
