Iowa is a great state in many par
ticulars, but evidently not in respect
to the social and political aeumen
of her citizens. Not only did they
turn down womans suffrage the other
day by a rather convincing vote, but
the Republicans among them noml-
mated a wet candidate for governor.
He polled more votes than all of the
dry candidates combined. However,
the good folk of Iowa will wise up
some day. That is inevitable.

After she had bathed her face and

a favorite downtown rendezvous for
women, and, just as Bessie entered it,
Miss Candy emerged from a telephone
booth in the entry.

her through the store and out through
a side entrance opening on another
street. At the curb a taxicab stood
throbbing, and from the cab sprang
Robert Davis, whose eyes pleaded elo-

sly smile, she added: But for fear ]

Skinner are three of the greatest
actors OF our day. In their reviews
Of Mr.. Favershams latest produc-
ton. The Hawk" they have ex-
hausted extensive vOcabularies in
seeking detectives TO describe his
great gifts and broad intelligence not
only as an actor but as a producer.
His present play is an absorbing love
story Of modern life and brings
thrill after thrill TO the audience. II

Mr.. Faversham was always es-
teemed a good actor, but with the
recent seasons the word good has
been changed 20 great in describing
his work. II matters not whether
he is a romantic or a classic actor
or as TO whether he uses the older
or the natural method. The point
is that he has great histrionic gifts
and. above all. he has the power Of
creating illusions When he is on
the stage you live with him. and
that is the greatest art of the the
