Mary Goes First" Henry Arthur
Jones latest comedy, which Marie Tenn
pest presents as the opening attraction
at the Belasco Theater this week is sure
to appeal quite as irresistibly to the
American sense of humor as it did to
British resibilities during its engagement
at the Playhouse, London.
The airs and pretentions OF the par
venue are pretty much the same, whether
he emanates from provincial England.
or from Pittsburgh, Pa. In MARY Goes
First there are a pair OF them, and
the reason for the sudden initiation OF
which they already have, but a brand
new title which has converted them
from plain Mr.. and Mrs. into pompous
Sir Thomas and Lady Bodsworth.
The Bodsworth move and have their
being in Warkinstall, the sort OF Eng
lish manufacturing town made famous
by the stories of Mr.. Arnold Bennett
The acknowledged social leader Of Work
install is a certain Mrs wichello. a
charming. fascinating. well-bred woman
of the world. and an aristocrat to the
tips Of her fingers. With the acquisi-
ton Of her title, Lady Bodsworth, a vul-
gar. impossible and altogether frumpish
woman Of middle age, fancies that she
Is now qualified to assume social leader
ship, and above all else she insists upon
what she considers her right to precede
over Mrs. WicheIIo Mary at all formal
functions.
This right Lady Bodsworth asserts 50
violently al a dinner party that an open
breach ensues. Mrs. Wichello. whose
tongue Is as clever as her gowns are
chic, says with the intention OF Its
being overheard by Lady Bodsworth,
that that lady looks like an ''impro-
Vfr.
edged sword, inasmuch as Lady Bods-
worth knew Mrs wichello was refer
ring to her artificial complexion and her
too golden Transformation" Being a
most respectable British matron, it was
only to be expected that Sir Thomas and
LADY Bodsworth should sue the Wichel-
los for slander. and thus add to the
compIexity OF the situation.
But Mary Wichello Is too clever for
the Bodsworths. She not only man
ages to wriggle out of the slander suit
without making the apology demanded
bv Sir Thomas and his lady. but she
eventually so Gusts Lady Bodsworth that
the audience may rest secure IN the
happy thought that never again will that
poor, misguided female presume to trade
upon her title again.
The role Of Mary is Of course played
by Miss Tempest. and how she revels
in it must be patent to any one who Is
familiar with the name and art OF this
DISTINGUISHED English comedienne.
MARY Goes First will be the pro-
gram for Monday, Tuesday, Friday and
Saturday nights. and for both the
Wednesday and Saturday matinees, the
remaining Wednesday, and Thursday
nights being devoted to a revival OF The

THE CURRENT WEEK.
NationaI-''Seven Keys to Bald
pate"


Seven Keys to Baldpate" is such
good fun that it remained in New York
all last season. It is a novelty because
it is SO different from any other farce
ever written. George NJ. Cohan, who
wrote it. has quite exceeded his usual
facility by turning out q play that brings
surprise hitter surprise, laugh after
laugh, thrill after thrill and then back
to laughter again. In more ways than
one he has departed from his usual form
OF playwriting. This farce will be the
attraction at the National Theater this
week.
Those who have read Earl Derr Big
gers novel OF the same name. on which
Mr.. Cohan has founded his mystery
farce, as he calls II. would have guessed
that possibly It could provide the ma
terial for good stage entertainment
Cohan and Harris are presenting the
farce with their New York Astor The
ater company, which will confine its tour
to the Eastern cities, with two long en-
Gagements before II, one in Boston and
the other in Philadelphia.
The plot, as Mr.. Cohan has II. con-
Germs one William HalloweIl Magee, a
maker Of hammock novels. He goes to
Baldpate Inn, a summer hotel. in the
dead Of winter. to win a bet with the
hotel owner. that he can turn out a 10 900
word story in twenty-fouF hours. He is
given upon his arrival what is supposed
to be the only key to the hotel He
starts. just barely starts, to work in
the bleak and lonely place, when melo-
drama, real bookseller melodrama, en-
tiers and keeps him busy through a wild
and pistol-shot night. It develops that
there are six other keys to Baldpate
They turn the lock one after another
and let in upon the harried novelist a
crook, an adventures, grating mayor
a ghostly hermit, corrupt corporation
president and his aid, and, also to the
thumps Of the novelist's heart, a beau
tiful star reporteress, who wins him with
a glance. After the plot has thickened
until It becomes absolutely solid with
mystery, cuss words and dark deeds, the
owner Of Baldpate appears with the last
key and clears the atmosphere with ex-
plantations. Seven Keys to Baldpate''
Is q farce that needs good acting and
the usual complement Of excellent ac-

Every business organization in the country

Read this official statement by the De-
partment of Agriculture:
Girls canning and poultry clubs were be-

careful study and planning. The work was
then, as it is now. entirely financed by the
General Education Board of New York The
funds appropriated by the board for this kind
of work have increased from SIS. 600 to $4,000
The work is entirely administered by the de-
partment. through the office of Farm Dem
onstration Work, and the enrolment now
reaches $4,000 girls.
This means that 5000 homes are receiving
direct instruction in gardening and canning
many Of them also receiving other practical
instruction in domestic science.
This is work for the women the farm,
done by women.
That statement refers simply to the
Southern States, where there are also 81 1856
boys enrolled. The rest of the two hundred
thousand boys and girls are in the Northern,
Western, and Central States.

THE ARMY OF ACHIEVEMENT
Continued from page 7

So the president of the college persuaded
the State Legislature, which was then in
session, to visit the college in a body, in
spect it, see the needs of the boys, and then
60 back and vote on the appropriations bill
as its conscience dictated.
A great meeting was held, the boys in the
audience, and legislators on the rostrum.
Each representative addressed them for five
minutes, and swore by all the "boundless
glories of our beloved State that her boys
should get what was due them.
One representative, more alert than the
rest, rose and stood there on the rostrum
without saying word. He looked at those
twelve hundred young men who represented
twelve hundred votes at home. He looked
at them and smiled @My!' he finally
gasped, what an opportunity! am poll

l ambition to control, deal Justly with these
boys and girls. Do not finance free trips
over the country for them, and then pack a
train with alleged club champions, some of
whom may not have toiled with aching
limbs and brave heart in the cornfield and
over the canning outfit; for if you do, you
will dry up that little fountain of ambition
and youthful trust. Don't ever let these
boys and girls feel that politics has crept
into their work, and that Jimmy, who lives
across the road and did not care to join a
club, is going to get the same sort of prize
that they have worked so hard and earnestly
for.
All the press notices you may get for your
patriotism, all the votes you may win, and
all the fame you may achieve will never
atone for the harm you have wrought; for
in this way you will destroy the faith of a
child.
Guard their efforts, aid them, give them of
your means if you wish; but always let them
win it! Then you will be truly benefactor
to the nation. Better than that, you will con-
tribute to the molding of more useful lives of
tomorrow's men and women. Who does this
is greater than warrior or leader of men.

BArHrUB pEcUL1ARITIEs

HAVE you ever noticed, when the water
has almost all run out of the bathtub,
how the light particles on the surface seem
then to race out much faster than the water?
As a matter of fact, they are travelling faster
than most of the water; but no faster than
that on the surface.
The reason is not far to seek. Running
water, even in a river, goes at different
rates; but fastest on the top surface right
in the middle of the stream. Friction with
the sides and bottom makes the water there
go more slowly. So the light particles on
top of the water in the bathtub, along with
the surface water, rush ahead at a good
rate.
This particular popularity in rivers is
utilized by boatmen when they have to go
up swift stream: they always paddle up
near the bank. And at curves, as the water
swings outward, they take the inside bank;
for there the water is almost still. On the
other hand, in coming down, the very center
of the stream is chosen.
