Many Species Of Banana.

The banana as Il substitute for the
potato would have one drawback. 1t
has been found that those who live
mainly upon this article of diet soon
tend to become what is politely called
"tusby." The banana with which we
are all familiar is only one of many
useful species. Cochin China produces
u single fruit that is an ample meal for
three men. and In East Africa an in
toXicating drink is made from the ma
tive banana.-LondOn Chronicle

Since many of our best theatrical
attractions run all year-vaudeville
and pictures-the formal theatrical
opening has come to mean, that first
production of the major houses pre-
senting legitimate drama.

been the interest over foregoing
theatrical events, however, that the
fact that this is the formal initial

looked.

The legitimate productions will be

New York is passing sentence on
several of the plays which had their
premiere performances here late in
the season.
"Mr. Lazarus" was gently handled
by all of the critics, and accorded
the praise for its excellent char
acter work, a thing it richly de-
served. They liked Eva lie Gallienne,
Henry E. Dixey, and Florine
Arnold, who was so Dickensy in the
role of the landlady mother.
