More long delays marked Friday
nights exhibition and the crowd was
plainly impatient at times. Too
many announce ments are made al

beginning to have decided effect
upon the patronage. Announcements
are necessary TO affairs of this char
acter. but the announcer should learn

bore the audience with needless
words and lengthy m:coductions of

audience to gaze on them inside the
roped arena.
There cannot be bit of criticism
offered to the class of shows that
have been staged by Mr.. Edwards
since his arrival in Ardmore. he has
fulfilled every promise and has been
strictly on the square. the only thing
that he should practice according TO
opinion OF many after Friday nights
snow is great deal more brevity in
these announcements and make these
as few as possible.

The outlook at the beginning OF the

Broad for a run and "The Birth of a
Nation" at the Forrest for several
months. our choice of amusement was in

Not so at the present time, when we
have light comedy, mclodrama extrava-
ganaa and an occasional thriller. Surely
one should find something to satisfy his
wants.
The Little Theatre company is certain
ly deserving of all the praise it is at pres

The Perambulating Showcase
Bv HERBERT KAUFMAN
uthor of do Something! Be SOn1efhi

TNHE newspaper is a huge shop window, carried about the town
and delivered regularly into thousands OF homes, to be ex-
anined at the leisure Of the reader. This shop window Is
unlike the actual plate glass showcase only in one respectIt makes
display Of descriptions instead of articles.
decorations Of two window-trimmers, each of whom employed the
same materials for his work. The one drew your attention and held
it by the grace and cIeverness and art manifested din his display. The
other realized so little of the possibilities in the materials placed at
his disposal, that unless some one called your attention to his
mediocrities you would have gone on unconscious OF their existence.
An advertiser must know that he gets his results N accordance
with the skill exercised in preparing his verbal displays. lie must
make people stop and pause. His copy has to stand out.
He must not only make a show of things that are attractive to
the eye but are attractive to the peoples needs, as well.
The window-trimmer must not make the mistake OF thinking
that the showiest stocks are the most sa1ab1e. The advertiser must
not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest words are the
most clinching.
Windows are too few in number to be used with lndlscretlon.
The good merchant puts those goods back of his plate glass which
nine people out of ten will want, once they have seen them.
The good advertiser tells about goods which nine readers out of
ten will buy, if they can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the window, just as the showcase
is but a frame for merchandise pictures. A window on a crowded
street. in the best neighborhood, where prosperous persons pass con
nejghborhood. An advertisement in a newspaper with the most
readers and the most prosperous ones, possesses a great advantage
over the same COPY, in a medium circulating among persons who
possess less means. 1t would be foolish for a shop to build its
windows in an aIeyway-and just as much SO to put its advertising
into newspapers which are distributed among 'aHey-dwelers.N
