LoeM's Knickerbocker

Comedy prevails the bill for the first half
of the week at the Knickerbocker Theatre To
be sure, Edward Clark, in his feature act, in
PRODUCES enough pathos in his work at times to
make 1t somewhat an exception to the general
statement. But the surrounding acts are
frankly designed from start to finish for laugh
Ing purposes. and attain their end with high
degree of success.
To n piano accompaniment Clark gives a
number of extremely clever character imper-
sonations, ranging from that OF Broadway
chorus girl to a pathetic sketch of homeless
street urchin. The act Is novel.
Barnes and Robinson, In piano-singing con-
cocton. keep the audience in gales of laughter

actress who had been able to play the part
of a supposedly inebrated woman without ap-

innate refinement and partly to the fine line
she drew in the part

There is probably not another man
in the world who has played the pro
ducing game as long as he has. 1t Is
certain that no other man has played
it longer. for the reason that he saw
the first oil well drilled in all the
world and he went into the business
at that time. The Drake well at Titus

tbs board to carry out the purposes
of the organization. Among the
principal purposes of the organiza
ton are the following:
TO promote the interests of the
Independent producers of the Heald
ton field in protecting and caring for
the oil produced by them and to
devise ways and means Of marke.-
ing the same. This includes the
investigation and procuring of sta
tistics on oil and the distribution
of the same, and the various laws
governing the operation, taXau1D,
storage, and the many things ar-
fecting the oil business.
The cooperation of all the oper-
ators and distributors of oil were
especially desired by all those pres
ent, and friction between any "
the operators or distributors frown-
ed upon, and the hope was express
ed that all differences would be
amicably settled.
The association expects to affili-
ate with like organizations in other
fields, and to have comparative tests
made cf this oil with other oils.
With this in view, the directors
were empowered to procure such in
formation and tests and employ all
necessary help, to that end.
Offices will be maintained in Ard
more, and competent help employed.
