This is not chimerical dream in the
least. A Chicago man has the idea and
he intends to put 1t into practice. There
are no places in the world that inspires
a person with such keen appreciation of
fresh country air than come parts of
Chicago. And it is probably for this
reason that a Chicago man has invent
ed the apparatus. He claims to be able
to take fresh air any distance and de-
liver 1t with a label guaranteeing Its
purity, after the manner of many other
Chicago products, to any section desired.
The apparatus with which the trick is
done is the simplest sort of thing. II
has no more complications nor creates no
mere disturbance than the laying Of
pipe lines for new system of gas dis
tribution.
The main thing is that 1t brings in
vast quantities of air-fresh country air,
as Felix Mahoney so delicately, so
naively. insinuates In his drawing.
And fresh air, afte" all. is the thing
upon which this great and glorious hu-
man race is founded. II you don't be-
lisve Il. go to the monkey house and
you will quickly find out where our
common ancestor received the inspIra-
ton which has given him such a bright
and noble set OF descendants.

Some people go pounding over the sur
face of dusty roads IN a ffty-mile-an-
hour motor car. inhaling all the dust
that can be kicked up-to get fresh air.
And others use every energy they pos
sess to go on long walks-to get fresh
air. They'use up about the same amount
Of vital matter in the effort that the
extra amount of oxygen they take in
can replace. II is the observance OF just
this tendency on the part of mankind
as a whole that has led to the develop
ment of a brand new scheme. Since
water is pumped into the city from mid
lake or midriver at a point distant from
the city itself-what is the reason fresh
country air could not be pumped into
the city in the same way?
Great towers with suction fans could
he erected on mountain tops or in the
middle of lakes, and air in enormous
quantities could be taken n and sent
through pipe lines to the places where
it is most needed.
In this way fresh country air could be
distributed where ii is most needed. and
everybody get his share.

his annual European trip with the
announcement that he has twenty new
plays 10 produce next season. Work
on the productions is already started
and the great manager looks forward
to a very successful and busy season.
Among the important announcements
Mr. Frohman had was that Otis Skin
ner would return to his management
with a new play called The Candle
of Faith" The manager was full of
news of all sorts, and regaled Iepcrt-
ers to the extent Of more than a COL
umn with his plans for the next sea-
son. John Drew is TO do The Frodi-
gal Husband" Ethel barrymore will
have a new play; the three-star com
bination,' William Gillette, Blanche
Bates, and Marie Doro. will take "Di-
plomacy' on the road; Maude Adams
will continue with Barrie's The Le-
gend of Leonora;" Billie Burke will
take Jerry" on tour and will also
produce a new playlet: The Girl From
Utah. London musical comedy that
has played in the British metropolis
a full season, will be seen here with
Donald Brian, SybiI Sanderson. and
Joseph Cawthorn; and there are a
number of ether new things that will
be produced under the Frohman trad9
marx Ior whIcn great entertainment Is
promised.
The road shows "A Pair of Skies"
will be unique when they start out next
season Manager Frazee hit upon a
novel method of obtaining the people
lxr
one Numbered applicants and these
were taken to see a performance. Each
was given a read day to read the
play at home. When /caSee heard d
reading of a part the applicant was
given a chance to rchearse with the
regular understudies. Those who sur
vived were given regular understudy
work. II the applicant survived all
this he was HANDED a contract and
asked to SIN. The method resulted in
the discovery OF several very clever
unknoWns Five of those who got
good contracts have never been on the
boards before. FraZee believes he las
made several real finds.
One of those who put it over was
a petite blonde who claimed to have
coast. She went though all the de
grees and finally wGs handed ia r
contract She refused. Again she re-
fused. Frazee gave her a better cne.
When she had deposited her copy OF the
contract in her handbag, she dropped
into a chair. and tainted. Frazee
brought her around with a little water
and she said:
Mr.. Frazee, | can't do IT, I'd never
been on the stage In my life until
understudied. I'd like to 90 through
with IL, by my conscience won't let me.
,nd che handed him hack her contract
Frazee wouldn't take IL. You're con-

are worth every cent in the contract"
