HThe Dummy,

The most unique play of the New
York season is '"The Dummy" which
comes to the Majestic tomorrow night.
g The Dummy has been furnishing au-
idiences with all the thrill and mystery
of yellcw-back detective story, four
acts of good laugth and the heart-throb
that holds the public, for the past four
months. What kind of play is 'Ihe
DIr ~ F." asks the theatregoer, puz-
zling over the title, curiously. The
playwrights who made it call it "de-
tective comedy People who see 1T
ism It a melodrama, though it has all
the features of one. One case4har6ened
theatre manager insisted that "The
Dummy was a success because it had
"heart stufl" " and ''poetry" in it. The
critics have been lavish of their praise
of its shrewd good-humor, its clever
lines and exciting plot, its lively char
acterizations and splendid acting.

THE new SAXON CAR TO BEA
SIX IT is Announced
ofhcial Admits Also That It Will Be Of
ftve-passenger Capacity - Other
Details to Remain Secret Until New
York Show

1t can now be stated on the author
ity of Lawrence Moore, director of
sales, that the new car which the Sax
ON Motor Company has had on the road
for the past six months and which will
be exhibited at the New York show, is
OF six-cylinder construction Mr. Moore,
when the question was put to him, also
admitted that the new Saxon car will
be five-passenger model, but further
than this no details are now obtainable
While several of the new Saxon mod
els have been built for more than seven
months and have been in the hands of
testing engineers for six months all
over the country, the secret has been
completely kept up to this time.
The definite admission by Mr.. Moore
to the effect that the new Saxon will be
six has aroused even more inter-
est than ever before because of the
success of the Saxon company with
lightweight, low-priced cars of high
efficiency.
Since the rumor became current that
the Saxon company would launch new
car of the touring type, application for
distribution rights have poured in from
dealers all over the country at the rate
of hundreds a week.
Along with the confirmation Of the
rumor about the new car comes the
word from Mr.. Moore that the success
of their four-cylinder roadster has
prompted the Saxon company to arrange
for greatly increased output of this
model for the coming season. 1t had
been foreseen that the present factory
facilities would be inadequate to take
care of production for the 1915 season,
and plans have been completed which
will give the Saxon company triple the
factory space it now occupies.

The nebular hypothesis is that the

are visible to the naked eye in the
Milky way, are supposed to be star
