NeWNational.

ut Pays to Advertise" farce in
three acts, which ran for a year in
New York. made its first appearance in
Washington last night at the New
National Theater, and kept a crowded
house laughing for two and a half
hours.
1t was written by Roi Cooper Megrue,
author of Under Cover" and Walter
Hackett, and it deals with the efforts
of the head of soap trust to inspire
in his son a liking for business affairs
and the manner in which the latter and
his associates finally induce the father to
buy share in rival soap business start
ed by the son. The value Of advertising
is the theme around which revolve the
love story of the son and his fathers
stenographer. the Vaccinations of an
adventures, who wants to get some
Of fathers money in an easy way, and
a number of incidents which hold the
rather thin plot together. Perhaps the
most striking thing about the play is
the manner in which are dramatically
marshaled the facts as to the enor-
nous sums which are spent each year
household words. The figures are so
stupendous and the announcements of
sl.000,00o having been spent to ad-
vertise this, that or the other article
been necessary to insert in the pro-
grams statement to the effect that
the figures used are facts, not farce.
In that respect. at least, the play is
educational to a degree.
The cast is well selected. John But
Ter as Ambrose Peale. a publicity
agent: William Holden as Cyrus Mar
tin, the father; Richard Sterling as
Rodney Martin. the son, and Edna
Baker. as Mary Grayson, the fathers
stenographer. shared the honors of the
evening.
An especially large audience, includ-
ing the President and Mrs. Wilson,
was present last night. the occasion
icing a benefit performance for the
Working Boys Home.

scribed as "a call to arms against war;"

only to return repentant. after years
side the bedside of her dying child. 1t
was a fine Characterization, exception
ally strong and convincing Barbara
Hare, the unconscious cause OF the
jealousy of the wife, was well played
by Jane Ware. while Louis Ancker
made manly Archibald Carlyle. Maude
Eburne tempered the sadness of the
play with her quaint and humorous

lovable, If laughable, spinster. Elmer

Frances Rodnam and little Katherine

The story is told in five acts, all well

NORTHWEST EXTENSION
Tests Made Months Ago May Be
Guide Up That Way.

Don't get excited over the north
west extension. While some thick
sands have been found there, and
while the sands are prolific the idea
is likely to be formed that the main
producing area of Healdton is yet to
be uncovered But remember that
some tests have been drilled on
ahead of production, which might be
of importance to those who have
acreage for sale, and those who are
purchasing as well. In section 25-3-i
the Elgin Oil and Gas company drill
ed to 400 feet. A light sand was
found in this well, but if it had been
heavy enough to have made a pay
well it undoubtedly would have been
In the southeast corner
of 2O-3-3 the Wilson Oil and Gas com
pany drilled to a depth of 1465 feet
and in 1888 Jack Sankey abandoned
a well in the red beds at 1907 feet.
While these wells were not drilled
deep enough to constitute test for
deep sands, yet they were deep
enough to prove that the sands in
the south part of 80 do not extend
out that far, unless there is an un-
expected dip.
