CURLEY SITTING THERE
BEHIND BIG GREEN TIE

Has any one here seen Curiey =
Curley with the green necktie? If he
hasn't, just blow up to the city hall
some time this evening, before the
surAsets on st. Patrick's day, and yon
will see him. That is, you will see
part OF him. The greater part of the
pleasing and smiling features of that
gentleman, however, will be found
hidden behind the most elaborate
emerald -hued tie that could be found
in Chickasha.
Curley, always celebrates the natal
DAY of the Irish saint by donning a
erass-green neckerchief. He had a
little trouble in finding one large and
green enouh and flowing-ended
enough this year. In fact it is alleg-
ed by his friends that it was only after
he had taxed the patience of all sales
men In every store in Chickasha that
curley found what he wanted. He
found it in a garage, these friends as
sert. These same friends say that
the emerald neckwear, before CurIey
found it, had seen service as bright
green auto veil.

"EVERYWOMAN"

Hon. Job Hedges, speaking at re-
cent banquet in New York. said that
the complaint of many theatrical
managers of the decline of the thea
ter is due less to the inroads OF the
movie" as counter attraction than
TO the over-zealousness of managers
in advertising their attractions. He
declares the the public has learned
to distrust the glittering promises
Of the managers and that too many
shows are advertised as the greatest
on earth
The true test of play or produc-
tion is longevity. A bad play does not
last long, despite the blare of adver-
tising trumpets. A few people may be
fooled for a while, but the truth is
always spoken in the end and the
truth in the world OF the theaters is
patronage. The only play which is
being performed regularly in Amer
ica today which was being played
five years ago is Henry w. Savage's
dramatic spectacle and modern NOR
ality play, "Everywoman," which will
be seen at the Sugg theater Thurs
day. March 3d. Its vogue is as strong
now as when it was first produced by
Mr.. Savage. Notwithstanding other
managers, moved by cupidity, have
brought forth productions which are
palpable limitations, pilferings of the
Easic idea Of the, first of the mod
ern morality plays. all this has not
injured the career Of "Everywoman," ;"
the Walter Brown play. There is ar
old saw about degree of meanness
which would prompt stealing coppers
from the eyes of a deceased African,
and this will apply with equal appro
priateness to the stealing of dead
mans ideas. In a play called "Expe-
rience." a copyist has even pilfered
the names Of many Of the characters
of sEverywoman" and the promoters
have even "borrowed" the form and
material of the "Everywoman" ad-
yertisements. But the public has
not swerved from their allegiance TO
"Everywoman." Over four million
people have witnessed it.

Wins Suit Against City.

Atty. Gale P. Hilyer, of the firm
Of Hall, Tautges and Sapiro, Attor-
neys-at-Law, has been with the firm.
now exactly one year and he is now
entrusted with some of the most i'm
portant litigation with which the
firm is identified Last spring Mr..
Hilyer was associate counsel with Mr..
Hall in the trial of the case of Weber
VS.. City of Minneapolis, before Judge
Steele in the District Court. The
jury returned verdict for the plain
tiff and the City appealed to the Su-
preme Court. The entire conduct of
the appeal, including the writing Of
the brief was entrusted to Mr.. Hilyer.
That he acquitted himself creditably
is shown by the fact that the Su-
preme Court has recently handed
down an opinion written by Chief
Justice Brown in which the Court
fully sustains Mr.. Hilyer in every con-
tention. Mr.. Hilyer is a graduate of
the Univerity of Minnesota, and son
of Mr.. Andrew F. Hilyer of Wash

uate of the University of MINI.
