WE have before us very attractive
looking pamphlet that purports to be "a
careful review OF conditions in Maine and
Kansas under prohibition legislation. !"
One OF its authors is the Hon. Royal E..
Cabell, of Virginia. who was United States
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue under
President Taft. and the other is Hon.
Cyrus w. Davis, one-tlme Secretary of
State OF Name. We know very little OF
Mr.. Davis, but we recommend Mr.. Cabell
as one OF the most accomplished iugglers
of figures in this country. As commits
sioner Of revenue he could always be de-
pended upon by the liquor interests to
furnish them any figures that they need
ed in their business, and though happily
the government no longer claims his ser
vices, he still keeps figuring away along
the same old line. He figured in Virginia
last fall and presented a lovely array OF
statistics, but his own State repudIated
him by an overwhelming majority. He is
now figuring for the liquor people as TO
Kansas conditions, and we suppose his
facts" are OF the sort that he has hereto
fore used.
II anyone wishes the truth about Kan
sas, it can be gotten from the Governor
OF that State. We doubt if if can be Sc
cured from any employee of the liquor
people.

History, despite the claims Of Win
chester and Savage, is the original re-
peater. There may have been times in
your school days times when you
arose in the classroom and waited for
the date of the Treaty of Nerdun or
the causes Of the Second Punic War
TO repeat themselves there may have
been times, we repeat, when you felt
justified in doubling this pTecept. But
in all ordinary circumstances Il may
be accepted as sound. In proof of
which --
Let X be a popular actor. In his
early days \ was a stock actor. Com
edy was his line. He conceded all
around the country for ten years with
considerable success. He even had his
own theatre for a time and he wrote
his own plays. Music had no part in
them. X was purely a comedian, and
he gloried in the fact that he was de-
/ pendent upon no outside influences for
/ his effects.
At the end Of ten years he Joined a
+ musical show. Thereupon- believe il
/ or not-he remained with musical
shows for fourteen consecutive and un-
broken years. Oh, yes, there was com
edy IN them. Comedy OF a sort. But
Y painted after the undiluted and un-
lyrical article as the hart panteth
after the brook. as the railroad wreck
panteth after the investigation. But
IN musical comedy he was a gigantic
success, and his services were in de-
mand, and It was difficult to make 8
change.
Then the chance came along. X was
given an opportunity to return TO
straight comedy. IL meant that OPP
por,unity that he was 10 chop four
teen years Of his life and live them
over again. Il meant that he was TO
skip blithely back TO the SOS. II meant
rejuvcnatiOn.
Certainly, said X. he would be tickled
10 return to comedy. And what was
the new play about? Not that il mat
tered much. he said, so long as IL CON
tanned comedy, but he merely wanted
to know.
Well, they told him, Il was play
about the elixir of youth. Il told all
about a fussy old professor who be-
licves that he has discovered the great
secret and who is made 10 think that

has been let into all the secrets of the
stage.
"Did you see all those soldiers
walking past on the other side Of The
wall% asks the comedian. We'll, they
weren't soldiers at all. They were just
bayonets stuck on a belt, and the
same ones go past again and again.
And do you remember where that fell

Well, he didn't get hurt at all. They

Why, that puzzle is done so far as You

Frank Lalor Has Finally
Reached His Chosen Goal

{ about IL more than couple of seconds.
He reached for pen and put has name
on the contract. By the terms of the
contract an actor named Frank Lalor
was engaged for play named Some
Baby" and the said Frank Labor was
10 create the role of Professor Josiah
Smythe, the man who believes that he
and the late Ponce de Leon have con-
siderable in common.
All of this Frank Labor related at the
Fulton Theatre the other night while
assuming the facial characteristics Of
Professor Josiah Smythe. So much
having been told, it occurred 10 the
interviewer TO ask for a comparison
Of things now and things fourteen
years ago from Il theatrical point Of
view. The answer made it apparent
that Frank Labor can be quite serious
at times, despite his penchant for com
edy.
81 suppose" he said, that you'll re
gard me as old-fashioned. At any
rate, I'm rather solidly committed TO
some of the oldtime institutions. I'll
admit that a number Of things are
done much better to-day than they
were then. IL would be ridiculous to
argue that point. But | want TO put
in brief for the oldtime actor-for
him and against the specialist.
you often hear it said these days
that an actor is deteriorating. OF
course, that's nonsense. Actors, in the
nature Of things, don't deteriorate.
They get better all the time as they
grow older and continue to learn.
What has happened is that the audi
ence has tired Of that particular ac-
tors specially. They have seen him
doing It for years, and when the time
comes that il begins TO pail on them
they think the actor is going back
The old actor could adapt himself
, TO such conditions, whereas the pres
ent actor cannot. Formerly the audi
enee was never given an opportunity
10 tire. The actor who was an Irish
man one week was an old maid the
next, and a darby the week after that.
Versatility is rare quality to-day, so
rare that its possession Is certain 20
be commented upon wonderingly and
regarded as almost phenomenal
Furthermore. the old actor was no;
permitted the license that is allowed
to-day. You never saw him going
down into the audience or doing part
of his act in box. The line between
actor and audience was strictly drawn,
but to-day every illusion has been
Syspt AWAY. Qle BY enc the epdiaSSs
