Ames' Little theater has started its
season with a comedy so witty, SO
amusing and so clever that its 299
seats promise to be in great demand
for many weeks.
ga Pair of Silk Stockings" was
written by an English actor, Cyril
Harcourt. 1t is presented by an all
English company, of whom Harcourt
is one. 1t thoroughly disproves (once
more) the ancient fallacy that the
English have no sense of humor Its
story concerns a Divorce, her re-
pentant ex-husband, former sweet
heart of hers, his fance, and various
other people who are gathered at a
weekend house party.
Much of the action takes place in
the divorcee's bedroom, and much of
the time she is in bed, with various
startling incidents transpiring. But
the situations are most delicately
handed. Caroline Bayley has the

comedians England has ever sent to

road directors who have been sued
for s306.000,000 by minority stockhold-

closely after the report of the inter

legged that the directors of the New

the roads money. The minority stock
holders claim that the amount wasted
in illegal transactions was 100000

When young man feels that his position is thoroughly

There is great danger in an established position
Though one climbs to with determination and energy to
go beyond it, yet after testing the comfort and lux

This is one of the great dangers of youth who starts
