THE COST OF HIGH LIVING.

The success attending the boycott
on eggs and turkeys serves to remind
US of the remark of a recent writer
who ventured the opinion that it was
not so much the high cost of living as
it was the cost of high living that was
troubling the country at this time.
That writer placed his finger on one
of the sorest spots in our domestic
economy.
We are the most extravagant people
on earth.
Fifty years ago our fathers would
have sworn mighty but righteous
oaths had any been guilty of our ex-
travagance. They lived in a manner
that we of this day would consider the
extreme of hardship.
Our grandmothers, could they come
back, would be thoroughly s~candalized
at u prof1igate extravaganza, and
yet the strange thing to us is that
they managed to extract about as
much happiness from life as we do
if not a little more.
1t has been said that the Injuries of
one generation are the necessities of
the next.
If this be true the outlook in a few
generations is truly appalling. Given
all of our luxuries as their necessities,
with proportionate luxuries of their
own of which we have not yet even
dreamed, to what gigantic extent will
extravaganza have reached?
The picture is not a promising me.
In fact, it is by no means attractive.
1t has been said that an European
PEASANTS family would live in comfort
on what the average American kitchen
consigns to the swill barrel. And we
haven't a doubt of the truth of the
assertion.
Here's the American pace: Mr.. and
Mrs. B, worth half a million, aspire to
live on the same scale as Mr.. and Mrs.
A, who are worth a full million. And
Mr.. and Mrs. C, worth only a quarter
of a million, would keep pace with the
BIS, who have half a million, and so
on down the line.
Really, isn't it time for the sober,
intelligent citizenship of the country
to call a halt on the useless. senseless
and even idiotic extravaganza of the
age?
There is an end to every string, and
the American people are a mighty
long way from the beginning.

WILLIAM GILLETTE
IN A NEW COMEDY.

Undoubtedly the most notable the
atrlcal event of many seasons will be
the engagement of MI. William Gil
lette at the Apollo Theatre this Fri
day and Saturday nights and Satur-
day matinee, January IL and 10.
Easily the dominant personality on
the American stage today, MI. Gil
lette's Forthcoming visit holds a dou-
BILE interest in that it will bring him
back before the public in the first
play with modern settings he has had
for many years, a comedy from the
pen of Miss Clare Hummer, under the
paradoxical title, "a Successful Ca
lamlty." No inkling of the story of
the new offering has as yet been made
public except that it is unfolded in
Two acts and four scenes. Where the
settings for these acts are located or
what the nature of the narrative NAV
be will remain a secret between the
author, the producer and the PLAYERS
until the premiere.
Mr.. Arthur Hopkins, who stands
sponsor for the venture and who pro-
duced he laughable satiric comedy,
Good Gracious, A~nnabelle," by the
same author, confidently believes that
ne has chosen another prize winner in
"A Successful Calamity" He has
Robert Edmond Jones, whose stage
backgrounds for Good Gracious, An
nabelle" commanded instant recogni-
ton, to design and paint the scenes
for the Gillette comedy, and it is pre-
dicted that they will constitute one of
the many surprises of the production.
