although she has played at other local
| theatres as a star with musical come
| dies. This season Miss Tucker is ac-
companied by a pianist, a good-natured
young man who evidently understands
( the comedienne and her impromptu
asiGes that are sprung in connection
with her songs, and the use of which
would make it impossible for an or
cheStra to follow her. Miss Tucker
| has never boosted of the musical quail
| ties of her voice; at least the writer
has never seen any mention of her
having done so. But she does claim
to know how to get over" ragtime and
songs bordering on that class. Neither
does Sophie boast of her dignity. In
truth it is her abandon and whole
heartedness that seems to win her au-
diences from the moment she comes
upon the stage. For instance, last
night, when she had exhausted her set
repertoire of songs, when her audi
ence insisted on more, she asked for a
suggestion. A youth down in front
asked her to sing: IF Had One at
Home Like YOU Sophie came right
back: What would you do with herr"
Neither is Miss Tucker offering songs
that you might expect to hear at a Sun
day school picnic, for she apparently
has studied the vaudeville public long
enough to know that a bit of spice
tends to enhance her popularity. The

a bit of fsrcial acting as you will see
in a season. To be sure Mr.. Howard
sustains his part capably, but the
meaty end of the sketch falls to his as
sociate, and she is fully equal to the
responsibility. Seabury and Price

PRICE MAINTENANCE.
Its Necessity TO Aid Consume


Many big Industries engaged IN
national trade have often in the
past done openly what the small
concerns in their limited fields have
done secretly-yaTied prices accord
ing to the degree of competition at
different times and places Their
object has been to secure the high
est price to be had, irrespective of
whether the buyer was held up or
not.
close margin at one place to meet
ing a high price, to make up for IT,
where little or no competition eX-
lists, is economically wrong and I'M
fair to the buyer. Every article Of
fered for sale should have uni
form price plainly marked upon 1t.
Manufacturers will then have to
see that the price OF their goods is
a reasonable one, so they will sell.
and at the same time they will
provide enough profit to pay the
jobber and dealer fairly for hand
ling the goods at uniform price,
This will inspire confidence in the
consumer. because he will know the
price can not be cut and must.
therefore, be a reasonable one TO
permit the goods to sell. He Will
buy such goods in preference to a
small selling artisle sold at exag-
Everybody will benefit from price
maintenance in this way. 1t will
protect the manufacturer who has
built up well-known brands, also
so. Distributors will be protected in
handling 1t at a fair profit. and
they will not be forced. through
fear of cut-throat competition. to
build up their own private brands
at much expense.
