Comedy is as much a business as

same way because they were not bust

their business after they did get up
There is nothing in the show bust.
ness that pleases an audience and
makes folks come back again as
good, clean comedy. It seems that
everybody wants to laugh. Some will
guffaw at witty line, others require
supposedly bodily torture on the part
Of one Of the actors to give vent
to the smallest semblance Of a smile.
It has been my effort in all of my
plays to provide an ample supply of
what George M. Cohan has been
pleased to term hoakum. Hoakum to
those not familiar with theatrical
parlance, is the bits of business in

doing service for long period Of
time, yet never fail to put It over.
Too much hoakum becomes tire.

LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

Good sense, even II not always per-
feet in metre).
II knew you and you knew me,
IT'S seldom we would disagree;
But, never having yet clasped hands,
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right,
And treat each other "honor bright
How little to complain there'd be
If l knew you and you knew me!
Whenever we ship you by mistake,
Or in your bill some error make,
From irritation you'd be free,
II | knew you and you knew me;
Or when the checks don't come on
time.
And customers send us mary" q line,
We'd wait without anxiety,
II knew you and you knew me.
Or when some goods you fire back"
Or make a "kick" on this or that,
We'd take 1t in good part you see
II I knew you and you knew me.
With customers ten thousand strong
Occasionally things go wrong
Sometimes our fault sometimes
theirs
Forbearance would decrease all cares
Kind friend how pleasant things
would be
II I knew you and you knew me.
Then let no doubling thoughts abide
or firm good faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give,
Living ourselves, let others live;
But any time you come this way,
That you will call we hope and pray;
Then face to face we each shall see
And I'll know you and you'll know
me. Ars E#f

efgn as well as native merchants
throughout the republic who refuse to

hands, and he carried out his intention.
AS far as the Mexicans were concerned
the bandit promised safety to all those
who did not take up arms against him.
No quarter was shown to the Carranza
troops who attempted to resist him, it
was said.
The one CLEAN of light in the dark
story is the probability that Villas
activity is what enabled Col. Dodd to
deliver his crushing blow at San
Geronimo ranch two days after the
crime of Minaca, a blow that has raised
high hopes that the brigand's days are
numbered.
According to the refugees Gen. Luis
Herrera left Chihuahua City on Tues
day with large number of troops. His
destination was not made public.
