house, from which fate has decreed she shall depart no more
 A small thing that meant nothing to Miss Brady, however, she had been in failures before; and even before the final curtain descended on the unfortunate Sylvia she was hard at work on another role Tn a new play. This time she has been more fortunate for in George Scarborough's theater she has not only scored a pronounced personal success but the play itself promises to be one of the hits of the season.
 What Is Love' is a comedy along unusual lines and, strange as it may seem, is clean, wholesome and de- lightful It tells of what kiss will do and proves what wonderful fac tor little thing like that is in build ing up or breaking down a life You see the heroine is about to be mar 'ieJ, is just sending out Invitations for her wedding, in fact, to a very busi- ness-like person named John, whose kisses are the efforts of a tired and absorbed business man"-no more ID less, and just as she is about to seal the last of the invitations her old lover, who has been abroad studying medicine for some years, comes in and kisses her His kisses are neither tired nor absorbed they are absorbing and she likes them. She consults with her sister law and her maid-both of whom have had some experience in kissing and what they say confirms her opinion of those kisses. Finally she tells her family, and his family and Johns family and John himself. to say nothing of the sup<rnumeries, that she has been kissed and that she likes it and that as the invitations have not yet been mailed, they may be either withdrawn or rewritten, for John has had his last kiss As

MT. Scarborough puts it, Man does not care about lips that have been grazed over by other men,"
 The answer to the question in the title is Love is the dynamo of woman's Soul" It is a good deal like apples -toddy' which induces thrills and "a kiss should do the same
 What is Love" is a comedy quite out of the ordinary and, if one may depend on the critics it is likely to be a very popular questIvu m New, York this winter, with large audiences waiting anxiously for the answer, and the favorable result is very largely due to the excellent work of Miss Brady 'who has never done any thing so well. She seemed to nave forgotten that she had ever been in comic opera, and acted with a gen. tleness and ingenuousness which made her portray all both convincing and charming" Nanette Comstock also comes in for a lot of praise Her portrayal of the sister law was "divinely human"

"The Hawk" Scars

Not since "The Thief has any French play scored the success which greeted The Hawk at the Shubert theatre last Monday night. It was a three-fold triumph, for the play It. self, for MT. Faversham and for Mile Dorziat, the French actress who was imported to play the leading female role. AS far as Faversham is con . cerned it is conceded by the critics that one would have to go back to his first great success in the first production of Bronson Howard' s he has done to compare with his
 delineation of the character of De Dasetta, the Italian gambler
 For Mile Dorziat too, there was a triumph and she seems to have pleased Americans just as quickly and completely as she pleased Paris and London. Her emotional work is described as something quite out o the ordinary run, forsaking all the
 well defined methods; but absolutel' sure in it's results

 What Is Love"
 If that energetic young person, Miss Alice Brady, does not succeed in be- coming a great actress it will not be because she is afraid of hard work nor vet because she is William A. Rradys daughter. She is just about the best little long distance worker that we know of and a downright failure means no more to her than a puff of wind.

Mir. Cohan's Greatest

Further news regarding "The Mir acle Man." George Cohan's latest play seems to indicate that in it this !" on- derful man has scored his greatest success. In attempting to put M-. Packards great novel into dramatic form Mr. Conan tackled a herculeal task and he seems to have accom- plished a miracle himself in the way he has handled it. The critics are unanimous in the opinion that it IS the most wonderful piece of work that he has ever done. It is a far cry from the roughand- tumble wave the lag and -get-them musical skits like Little Johnny Jones" and George Washington, Jr.' and the other early efforts of Conan to the splendid artistry and finish of Broadway Jones' and The Miracle Man and the despised stars and stripes comedian" has become one 0f the foremost figures among Ameri- can dramatists.

The Million Dollar Mystery

Monday and Tuesday. the Lion theater will present the first episode of the great serial "The Million Dol lar Mystery The story is by liar old McGrath and the scenario by Lloyd Lonergan. The cast embraces all well known stars such as James Cruze Flo LaBadie Marguerite Snow-Lila Chester-Frank Earring ton-Sidney Bracey-Alfred Norton and many other screen favOrites. The Million Dollar Mystery is the most stupendous motion picture ever pro- duced It is in forty six reels and there are nine miles of film invOlv- lrg love, romance and adventure. The Lion theater will present the entire series, two reels every Monday and Tuesday. To give The Million Dol lar Mystery added spice. there is prize of s10,000 to be given to the person that writes the best 100 word solution of the mystery-what be- comes of The Million Dollars (right here we may add that the writer hasn't got it but any way, the first episode will reveal the secret session of the plotters, the uncanny disap- pearance of the million dollars and the remarkable escape of the mil lionaire Hargraves. If The Million Dollar Mystery takes as well in Phoenix as it does wherever it has been shown, it's a good guess that the Lion will be crowded to the side walk every Monday and Tuesday.
 
 Lionel Walsh Dies for His Country
 News from the front brings word that Lionel Walsh. perhaps the best known of all the silly ass actors in this country, has given up his l;fa upon the battlefield. Although MT. Walsh as his name indicates, is an Irishman, he has always been cast for broad English roles and his re- fined and clean cut comedy work has endeared him to thousands of Amer l ican theatregoers and he was ranked as one of the leading comedians of ! the day. He will be remembered best, perhaps, for his work with Nora Rayes and Jack Noworth in "The Jolly Bachelors

In a two-column editorial-which
the Tidings has time and space to
print only in part-the Medford Mail
Tribune says of Ashland's Mineral
Springs Project:
The progressive citizens of Ash
land are endeavoring to initiate ali
era of progress and activity through
municipal development of the mineral
springs with which the Creator sur
rounded the Gateway City. 1t is pro-
posed to do this with the proceeds Of
bond issue of $175,000, upon which
the citizens of Ashland will vote next
week. The water from the springs
will be piped to the City Park, which
will be developed as a tourist resort,
the water being available not only to
the general public, but for sanitari-
ums.
The springs development plans
have been approved as practical and
feasible by leading men of the com
munity, and the hearty cooperation
of the Southern Pacific railroad is as
sured in the development of both the
project and of tourist traffic Seem
ingly all that is necessary to insure
success is the endorsement of the citi-
zens at the polls.
1T is a proven fact that the min
eral springs surrounding Ashland fur
nish water superior in quality and
quantity, and of greater diversity in
character, than those of any of the
famous health resorts. Almost every
famOuc mineral wafer is duDlicatpl
There are warm sulphur, carbon dioX-
ide. lithia, soda and score of Other
varieties of mineral waters available
! The water which it is prosed to mu.
lnicipally develop is lithia spring OF
extra rdinary medicinal properties.
| Given by the Creator such unusua
| resources as these mineral springs
are, it would be a shame not to de
velop them-especially when the de
velopment means so much to the en-
tire community. The lead in the de
velopment must be taken by the com
munity. When the people have
demonstrated the way, private capita
will quickly follow.
Ashland seems to have been ideal
ly located for a tourist and healtl
resort. Nesting at the foot of th
verdure-clad slopes of the Siskiyous
it has the picturesque surroundings
the balmy, even climate, the desir
able altitude and all the features tha
go to make such places attractive

Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

DO More Than Wish for Your Success.
We all want to succeed. But we
are apt to take it out in wishing. And
plain wishing never yet brought any
thing to any one outside the fairy
stories.
Success is worth all the trouble it
takes Indeed, some one once said
that the work it required to make a
success was the bets part of the mat
ter. Success makes you a constant
return, the return of good work well
done all the time you are doing it,
and the return of money, position or
fame as you achieve it. For success
is not something far off and isolated.
1t is something that is here with you
now. It's part of your attitude to-
ward life and your job, part of the
way you meet whatever comes, part
of the effect you produce on your as
sociates and friends.
You are either succeeding or fail
ing each day of your life. Make up
your mind to succeed TODAY, and
buckle to it. Don't waste time hop
ing you'll succeed next year, or wish
! ing that when you die your obituary
will be printed long in all the papers
The reason so many fail in their
work is because they don't care" a
woman who is in an important posi-
ton said recently. They could sue
ceed if they wanted to-really want
ed to- But they prefer to wish they
might, and let it go at that"
Which is much like wishing yol
could get to a friend a mile away, ;
mile that must be walked. Take i
out in wishing and you stay jus
where you are. But if you are tn
type that succeeds you will begil
walking right off, and you'll enjo
every step of the way and get healtl
and charm from that walk, and al
the fun of being with your friend a
the end.
No one can succeed for you. Yo
must do it yourself, and it mean
hard work, serious application, cheer
full determination. But it is tn
most enjoyable thing in the worlt
next to younger, for that matter
not so young-love.
