". I. Darlington is
Reported to be Dying

w. T. Darlington has been sinking
since midnight, and the end is expect
ed at any moment. His devoted wife,
sister and brother and trained attend
ants are in constant attendance at his
bedside and everything possible is be-
ing done to alleviate his suffering.
The dreaded disease made such rapid
progress that it was known several
weeks ago there was no possible hope
for his recovery. He appreciated that
he could not last but short time
and it was his desire to be brought
to Durango to pass his last days in
his own home surrounded by the peo-
pie who have been his friends for
more than quarter of century.

HELP WANTED MONDAY AT
THE RHODE.

From its historic triumphs in Chicago
and New York, Jack Lait s great play,
Help Wanted " comes to the Rhode
Sunday, December 9th for two per-
formances with the tried and tested as
surance that it is the most human, the
most laughable, the most genuine and
the most intimately truthful play of
modern American life that the stage of
this country has known in years. These
are the qualities which have made Jack
Lait's now famous play the financial
as well as the artistic success of 1914.
Produced under the personal direction
of the playwright the production is
more than living up to the high stand
ard set for it during its runs in New
York and Chicago The story, fascinat-
ing, clean and wildly virile, is yet
richly humorous and irresistibly capt.
waiting by reason of the incompatible
wit of its dialogue. No man who has
had occasion to employ stenographer,
no girl who has thought of working in
an office, no woman who has ever won
dered whether the Cuisines woman :
can evade the responsibility or the dan
ger of the sex influence in the world of
business, can fail to grasp and relish
the beautiful realism, the genuine
pathos and the wise philosophy Of
Help Wanted. The love story of it
is wholesome, as normal and as won
derful as any romance of real life ever
was or will be, and the enforced and
logical sequence Of comedy situations
are fair and fine proof of the value
of the play as characteristic and
memorable American comedy. advd24
