ITN IN aSEYEN nAYs.v

A high class theatrical company
and a comedy that Is written along
modern lines is a good combination.
The CONFESS Players at the Avenue
Theatre in their rendition of Seven
Days this week are in this category.
The comedy itself is real and the
players are making good In a very
emphatic manner. The humor is of a
quiet kind; a kind that is effective.
The audience laughs at the predica'
ment OF the quarantined house party
from the rise Of the curtain to its fall
at the end OF the third act There
are no dull moments. A satire on
spiritualism that runs through the
play is fully as enjoyable as the rest
OF the comedy.
The Conness players are proving
their worth as comedians

Gothic basehit from a Corinthian

Johnny Evers is Is pounds over

worry it all oif-and more.
Glenn Warner swears he did not
get a cent for steering Jim Thorpe
into the Giants camp.
George Griffin, a Paducah. KY, kid,

McGraw is a great worker with the
ivory. He runs a billiard parlor in

Dogs aren't the only animals who
are subject to distemper Frinstance;

Since Bill Lang has been hired to
teach the young White Sox to steal
bases they have christened him the
"Fagin of baseball" Bill wants to
know now what the thunder league
this Fagin ever played in any way.
Miller Higgins says that Vim Camp
bell would be one of the greatest ball
players in the world if he would quit
paying baseball for himself and be-
gin playing for the team.
Clark Griffith will work his Sena.

From present indications there will
be laxity of familiar faces in the

The situation is not cleared ma

hc will recommend Reynolds to be the
successor of D. E. Gray, Republican,
present incumbent. Gray will appeal
1t the postmaster general sustains the

President Wilson and call to the
presidents attention the fact that the

The general feeling here is that 1t
