WHY PLAYS FAIL
ASKED AND ANSWERED
WAR is BLAMED BY SOME, AND
OTHERS SAY IT is THE MANY
MOVING PICTURES.
By Beau Rialto.

New York, Dec. 19.-Why do plays
fail? The question is pertinent in view
of the present disastrous season. Many
answers have been given.
The war is being blamed, that cause
usually being bracketed with the so
called economic crisis in this country
today. "The people do not have the
money to SPEND" is the commonest
wall on Broadway Yet the box-office
men are Just as naughty to their pros
pective customers as they have been
in the most prosperous seasons. The
prices are at top-notch and u manager
will "paper" his house and continue
a long ''dead head " list at the same
time that he charges So for an obscure
balcony seat. One manager, whose gray
matter has always been rated as being
smaller than a canary bird IS, gave vent
to a long, profound interview in which
he declared his solemn conviction that
prices should be increased to SO for an
orchestra seat.
The moving picture houses come next
in the list of causes for the theatrical
lean year. That there is much truth
in that statement none can deny, but ii
must not be forgotten that most of the
picture fans are recruited from the
ranks of those who otherwise would
not 90 inside theatre,
Many of the managers have quit and
their houses are dark or given up to

berries, about 100 tons, at to ~

The apple crop of the Northwest,
while a staple and neyer-failing crop,
was not mp to the standard the present
year, due to combination of eXtraor-
dnary circumstances which affected
their keeping qualities, but cherries
and pears attain the highest degree of
perfection in this section of the valley,
and these fruits are always in great de-
mand and find a ready and highly re.
muncrative market. Pears obtain a
flavor and firmness of texture that
make them favorite wherever intro.
duced and their keeping qualities are
far superior to the product of districts
where irrigation is necessary to insure

United States in preference to the
product Of any other locality.
The Home OF the Pear
There are several varieties Of the
pear family which thrive in this sec.
tion of the valley and which find n
ready and waiting market throughout
the east aud middle west, chief among
which are the Bartlett, the early va
riety, aud the late fall and winter
kinds, such as the Corgeau, Anjou,
Bose and Comice. Probably no other
locality of the same area in tho United
States or the whole world can truth
fully boast of the excellency Of quality
and quantity of production as can the
Willamette valley, and particularly this
district Of the valley, and its reputa-
tion is rapidly becoming worldwide.
