AT THE MAJESTIC.

The screen has made its own
comedians and tits seldom the favor
ite funny men of the legitimate stage
are heard of in hlmdom. But re-
Gently the scarcity of comedies has
caused photoplay producers to extend
their field and the search for really
funny comedians has brought to the
film some of the greatest stars the
stage has ever shown. Bickel and
Watson in THE Fixer" at the Majestic
have a Taught for the most serious
person. They are constant source
of merriment from the moment the
first scene is shown until the end.
"The Fixer" is a screen adoption
of the old stage favorite Hello Bill"

provoking scenes and situations and
with such a real vehicle for their tai
ents Bickel and Watson will make the

san CARLO OPERA 60. COMING.

A feature OF the coming grand
opera engagement in this city which
will appeal strongly to music-lovers
and opera goers is the matter Of
prices. II is acknowledged by emil
nent critics that the San Carlo Grand
Opera Companys success last sea
son. when every other similar organ
ization save the Metropolitan. OF New
York, fell a victim to the disastrous
times in the amusement field. was
due to the fact that the prices Of
seats was not placed above the two
dollar mark. This fact appealed, 1t Is
said, to music students and theatre
goers generally to such an extent,
that the San Carlo Company toured
for thirty consecutive weeks-or long
after the other organizations such as
the Century. the Boston. the Chicago.
| the National Opera. the New Orleans
and others disbanded In such cities
as ST. Louis. Cleveland, Washington,
/ Pittsburgh and other important opera
centers, all records for attendance
and receipts we're broken by the San
Carlo Company. all of which indicates
that local admirers OF this form Of
musical art have in store for them
some exceptional entertainment Mr.

aIT PAYS TO ADVERTISE"

Now that ct Pays to Advertise
has established itself as one Of the
greatest hits of the decade, it is inter-
esting to note something of the col

Walter Hackett which made this
happy consummation possible. This is
especially true because OF late there
have been reports Of estrangemont
between the two authors.
The fact is that the original idea
was Hackett's That is, Hackett came
to Megrue and said that he thought
play might be written about the adj
vantages of an advertising campaign
and together the two worked out a
plot. The actual writing from that
point was done by Megrue

Submerged Timber.

The strength of a hemlock stick a foot square that had been in water for almost forty years was recently test ed in the 600,000-pound testing ma chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti' ute at Troy, in New York. The tim Der, which was 16 feet 9 inches long, had formed part of one of the piers of the Congress street bridge at Troy
 When the pier broke down after the flood in the spring of 1913, the timber was turned over to one of the mate
 rial-testing laboratories of the insti
 tute It was kept in the open air for three months, and then placed in a dry room for little more than nine months When placed in the testing machine, the column failed under 8 load of 3S4,000 pounds; that is, the long-submerged wood showed an ulti mate strength of 2.670 pounds to the square inch. In the opinion of Prof T. R. Lawson, who conducted the test the remarkable strength of this piece of hemlock seems to show that be ing immersed in water for long time does not decrease the column strengtl of timber that is subsequently, permit ted to dry out.-YOuth's Companion.
