"oFFIcER &C.,"

That the tastes of the large
army of amusement seekers in
America are leaning more and
more toward plays of farcical
nature. is the belief of nearly
every firm of theatrical produ-
GERS. The public wants to be
amused rather than instructed
is the way they figure the stu
alton, and the present season
would seem to bear out this as
sertion. Take the hits of the
New York stage during the past
season. Ninety per cent of them
were musical farces, comedy
dramas, straight farces, or must
cal plays, all constructed with
the one idea-to create laughter.
eff you have play that has
good comedy lines and situa-
TONS" they say to be would-be
authors, "let us read it, if it con-
taines bright lines-if it has
speed and action-if it is clean.
In short, if it has a punch in it
we will produce it for you"
In "Officer 666," which will be
presented here at the Tabb|
Opera House January 10, Lex
ington January IS, is found a.
farce that contains all these de-
sirable attributes. 1t was written
by Augustin MacHugh, an au-
thor heretofore unknown to fame
as a playwright. That, however,
need not count against Mr.. Mac
Hugh. A man need not be the
author of a long string of hits
to be able to produce one more.
It's the first time that counts.
After that he may add to hisl
string as fast as he is able to
turn them out. Get them pro-
duced too, if he first writes ONE
SUCCESS.
"Officer 600" is an odd title.
The title of the play constitutes
fifty per cent of its attractive
ness. One of the first problems
that George M. Cohan seeks to
solve when he has play idea
is an attractive title, and few
men in this branch of human en-
deavor have been more successful
in their selection than this ia
nous young author.

to be as valuable in coal deposits

We know Manager Wilkerson
endeavors to maintain the best
possible order at the Tabb Opera
House, but in spite of all he can
do, much disorder takes place
at every performance. No man
has the right to go to a place of
public entertainment and mar
the pleasure of others by making
unnecessary noises or creating
confusion of any sort. If he does
not care to listen, he should not
go and we appeal to the public
and police to assist Mr.. Wilker-
son in his efforts to make this
truly a playhouse for ladies and
gentlemen only.

OUR BANKS.

We urge every reader of the
Advocate to carefully consider
the statements of Mt. Sterling's
four banking institutions, ap-
pearing in this issue. 1t will be
seen that they have in the aggre-
gate more than one million,
three hundred thousand dollars
on deposit and are all on a
sound, conservative, business
basis. There are many bigger,
but no better banks, in Kentucky
and our citizens should be proud
of our local financial concerns.
One point in particular to
which we desire to call atten-
ton, is the fact that collectively
their statements show but sixty
eight hundred dollars in over
drafts. But few years ago, it
was not uncommon to see each
of them with a ten thousand dol
lar overdraft.
And right here we want to
say that no man, irrespective of
his worth, has any excuse, much
less, right, to overcheck. The
practice is unbusinesslike, causes
trouble with the Bank kxamin-
ers and should not be tolerated
in anybody. If one needs money,
he should arrange the matter
with his banker, before presum-
ing to check on an account al
ready depleted.
We congratulate the commun-
ity and those in control of our To-
cal banks at the magnificent |
showing made and commend
them to our people as absolutely |
safe and in every way worthy of
their confidence and support.

The effort by the united churches of Norwich to make Jan. 11th an Everybody at Church Sunday culmi- mated in a success that gave the pas tors and their congregations feeling of elation with the results achieved. Clear weather, if somewhat cold. fa- vored the plan, and in the morning hours the appearance of the streets in the center of the city, thronged with those bound for the morning services, made 1t evident that there was to be a general response to the everybody invitation of the pastors
 On all the trolley lines on the trips around church time the cars were crowded with the outpouring of those there were many who walked rather than get into the crush that riding would involve.
 From If churches that participated in the Everybody at-C Church plan esti- mates of the attendance at the morn ing service was received that gave a total attendance that was generally about double their ordinary attendance figures In the evening and afternoon services the attendance generally was a little less than half of the morning. The estimates received gave a total morning attendance of 4,263. and with the evening congregations made the figure for the day probably close to 5000.
 In his sermon one of the ministers of the city expressed the general thought of the pastors that this was not meant to be an effort merely for the day. a spasmodic response for this special occasion, but that it was meant to have the spirit and impulse of the day carry along through the year, that We might set the people of the state and nation an example in church. going. He expressed the opinion that thet effort of the day had imposed a hardship upon no one and that what could be done on this special occasion could be and should be made the rule rather than the exception.
