"P0TASH & PERLMUTTER."
Their Reception by an English
Reviewer.

The success in London of the play
based on Montague GLASS; Potash &
Perlmutter stories has already been
cabled TO this country, together with
the announcement that arrangements
have been made for its production on
the Continent. or the original stories
themselves an anonymous reviewer in
the English "Bookman" has this TO
say:
Mr.. Glass is an admirable humor-
list. He has perhaps learned some
thing from Mr.. Zangwil and some
thing from G. II. lorimer. but he has
also the unpurehasable gift of orig
inality. and in the curious little
world Of the New York costume max
ers, which the migrants from the
Russian ghettos occupy, he has dis
covered fine field for the exercise
OF his remarkable powers. There are
many shrewd. incisive touches of re-
alism in his most farcical sketches,
and amid all his play Of humor and
sentiment. he depicts the actual life
Of the crowd of Russian Jews who
arc NeUcmtull. winning lHtlT way
into the web of American life. We
see them using the Free Mason
lodges for business purposes, and
cheating relatives and friends with
an astonishing lack of conscience.
Not a man among them appears to
trust another; they are all avid of
wealth. and trampling one over the
other TO grasp II.
But. as Mr.. Glass goes on TO show,
the Russisn-American jew rs still
fine fellow in his way. lie has
hard mind and soft heart. and by
giving Abe Potash the mental qua J.
ties and Mayruss Perlmutter the
generous impulses Of the race. and
then setting them in continual de-
hate over every detail of the business
thew conduct in partnership, the au-
thor provides us with a wildly funny
and vet enlightening study Of his fell
low believers. or the two books, the
sequel. "Abe and Mswruss," strikes
as as the richer in humor. The dia-
logue is an incessant Joy-the dry,
ferce wit OF the East Side Of New
YORK. larded with the juicy rhetoric
Of the Oriental imagination. Not
SINCE Mr.. Dooley and Hennessy were
"a the height Of their powers have
We rezd conversations so amusing as
those Of the calculating Potash and
the impulsive Perlmutter.

R. H. WALDO JOINS TRIBUNE
What w. G. Freeman Says Of
His Success in Advertising.

Mr.. Richard H. Waldo, so long sue
cessfully identified with advertising
work in the general media field, is to
become worker in the newspaper
field. He starts with The New York
Tribune Septen 50 /.
Mr.. Waldo's .Jlnection with the
paper will not interfere with the po-
sition of Mr. Elmer Helms, who has
been advertising manager since last
November.
Mr.. Waldo-"Dick," as we who know
him we'll call him-is one OF the most
active. intelligent, intense workers in
the field of advertising.
His work on "Good Housekeeping"
which publication guarantees the in
tegrity of all the advertising 1t prints,
has made a big dent in old advertis-
ing practices, compelling their replace
ment with modern, straightforward
methods. His work in the Associated
Club movement has been vigorous, ag-
Cressivc, fearless. He has been a great
leader looked up to by all of the
workers with admiration and conf
dence.
The newspaper field opens up to him
the greatest opportunity of his life.
lie is fortunate in becoming associated
with a newspaper bearing as good a
name as The Tribune. He is fortunate
in being permitted to 60 to work with
his ideas fully and enthusiastically in
do cd BY the Tribune people, who are
rapidly pushing the paper TO the front
and who are willing to back up a
business policy which exacts high ad-
veTtising standards.
It seems to me significant that a
man of the high ideals of Dick Waldo
has decided TO join our ranks. He
has weighed the subject well-be sure
of that. His coming into the news
paper field means that he believes his
work will bear greater fruit-that he
can do more TO establish standards Of
advertising by daily effort than by
monthly effort that newspapers are
the most logical advertising media
that they can be made better advertis-
ing media through application OF the
principles he stands for--that the
people will ultimately demand of the
nev .spapers they read the truth in adj
vertising as well as the truth in news.
The advertising now printed in The
Tribu-c is high class. but the adver-
Using that will be printed after Dick
Waldo injects his fine personality and
high principles into the work VIII mark
a great advance in the character of the
cop, used.
Personally, welcome him to news.

help us all and we must all help him.
Let us make him feel at home right
away. He is deserving Of everything
