ers Father does not believe in sem
sational advertising and tries to dis
suade his son, the only result being to
make the boy plunge more heavily into
the advertising game, preaching and
practicing the modern gospel of print
ers ink, the most potent power in pro-
noting prosperity that the world has
ever known. This, in brief is the story
of the play. 1t is sufficient to say that
the young man wins his fight and the
girl of his choice; also, that his father
is brought to believe that it does pay
to advertise: that advertising is the
very life blood of business. The cast
selected by Mr.. Conan includes Edna
