at Paws TO Advertise. y


Plays that promote laughter are more
in demand than the sombre sort, and of
the former there is not in the amtse-
ment field to-day more pronounced hit
than ut Pays to Advertise" farce in
three acts, which Conan and Harris
original company are now presenting at
the Garrick Theatre, Philadelphia.
ut Pays to Advertise" is q business
play, therefore appeals strongly to men,
but the plot is also romantic enough to
win enthusiasm from the feminine por-
ton of an audience. The farce is from
the pens Of Roi Cooper Megrue and Wal
ter Hackett, who have brought forth one
of the most laughable plays presented in
recent years.
Rodney Martin, rich mans son, who
has been the despair of his father be-
cause of his Discrimination to go to work,
is persuaded through love for his fathers
pretty stenographer to go into business,
after his father has disinherited him.
Rodney's father is soap king and the
son decided to go into the same business
and adopts strenuous advertising cam
paign to attract attention of buyers.
Father doesn't believe in advertising
and tries to dissuade his son, the only
result being to make the boy plunge
uAOAC ASoNAAy AAAtO uA1C dQNCIblSlIk gam
This, in brief, is the story of the play,
the complete plot of which it would be
quite impossible to give in a way that
would adequately express it's intensely
humorous situations and laugh-compel-
| ling moments.
1t is sufficient to say that the young
man wins his point and the girl of his
choice, and that his father is brought to
believe that it does pay to advertise.
ut Pays to Advertise" is one of those
plays that can't be told about in cold
type. 1t must be seen to be appreciated,
and that it has been appreciated is
vouched for by its years run in New
York and another of six months dura-
ton in Chicago.
The cast includes some of the best
known comedians, condolences on the
American stage. These are Marjorie
Wood, Louise Drew, Cecile Breton,
Frances Wright, Grant Mitchell, Will
Deming. Ben johnson, George Schaef,

Knitting Under Difficulties

teeHts OioSf OiHtSoitteos
Miss Lilias Trotter of the Algiers
Mission band writes that the native
classes that used to work on native
embroidery and lace at the different
stations OF the mission In North At
RIGA have now, in view Of the Euro
pean war, resolved themselves into
more Immediately useful knitting
classes for the Red Cross.
1.-THE children took vigorously to
the new craft, even though knitting
needles had to be long nails or UNI
brella ribs. Yarn proved as scarce
as needles. SO we started spinning 1t
from sheep feeces. thus giving en-
ployment to the older women for whom
times were hard"

will be seen from following biograph-
fcal sketch. Mr.. Williams inherited his
talen and love for the harp and il
would have been strange if he had
been anything else but a fine harpist.
Henry j. Williams was born in
Abergabenny, South Wales, in 1882.
The playing of the harp dates back to
antiquity in the Williams family, so
it was but natural that young Henry
James should take up the study of this
beautiful but difficult instrument as
beloved of the Welsh His principal
teacher was John Thomas, of the Roy
al Academy of Music at London, and
harpist to the late Queen Victoria and
King Edward. Graduating with high
donors, Williams spent several years
as member of Sir Henry Woods or
chestra in London, and other English
organizations, and filling concert en-
gagements throughout England, Wales
and Scotland. In 1902 he came to
America on a visit to relatives, but
was ihuuScu " ieludlH' tIdNtiliiS DIS d
concert harpist until 1908, when he
engaged as harpist of the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra, which position
he still holds. Mr.. Williams is the
proud possessor of the coveted gold
medal carrying with it the title If
Best Solo Harpist In England, Scot
land and Wales won at three sue
cessive Estifood, held annually in
Wales,
