Easy to Advise

It is often so much easier to advise
some one how to spend his money
than it is to sp nd your own.
You know what the other fellow
ought to spend, but with you-it's
different Now any advice we may
have to offer will not be along this
line at all. Our advice is not along
the lines of spending money, but
rather in saving it. Anybody can
spend money, but it takes wise
one to save it. There is nothing
like opening an account at a reliable
bank like ours, to assist you in saw
ing. Add to the account regularly
and you will be surprised how easy
it will grow. Start now, no matter
how small.

PSYCHOLOGY FIGURES

Doctor in The Boomerang" Signed
Under Spell.

In connection with David Belasco's Sc
lection Of Arthur Byron to play the role
of DR.. Summer, the love specialist, IN
The Boomerang" which comes to the
Belasco the coming week, there was
coincidence that is worth relating.
A year ago last spring when Mr. Byron
was starring in a play out in California,
he was working on a scenario Of a play
about a doctor. 1t was the result OF his
having been urged for a number of years
by several Of his doctor friends to got
some one to write play for him about a
doctor and have the scene laid in a doc
tors office, telling him that such a play,
provided that it was good one should
be quite successful.
With these suggestions taking more
definite form in his mind he had just
started to work on the outline of such
play when a telegram came from Mr..
BelascO, asking him If he would play the
part o. DR.. Summer in The Boomerang. "
He thought it over and concluded: :
David Belasco, WinChell Smith, and a
play about a doctor; it couldn't possibly
fail"
Byron Immediately wired his acceptance
and left the company that ne was playing
with in Portland, Greg, coming East to
start rehearsals for The Boomerang al
