diseases Tfocld, but for his untimely
death, have conquered the medical

That the man WING had solved 80

fan a victim TO his own ignorance, In
the face OF his own warning, was in
deed an irony. Yet, with the larger
hope that he instilled into my heart
and the hearts of all his friends,
cannot believe that his death was an
unmixed evil, or that the cosmic dust
will never again restore to some fu-
furs civilization the little gnome-like
doctor, with his small body and huge
head and big heart, to bring light out
Of darkness and JOY out Of suffering.

VERY GOOD EDDIE
Musical Play Coming To Colonial Thea
ire Saturday. Sent Is.

After over year of record-break-
ing business at the Princess Theater,
New York. three months in Philadel-
phia, six months in Boston, foul
months in Chicago and phenominally
successful road tour last season, the
mansgementof this theater at last has
booked "tery Good Eddie" which
viii be presented at the Colonial Sat-
urday, Sept 10.
That the delightful Marbury- Com
stock musical play will "pack 'em in
here Is almost foregone conclusion,
for of all the musical novelties of past
seasons, none has been more Of sem
sational success in New York than
Very Good Eddie" and only two or
three productions, either dramatic or
musical, can justifably be mentioned
as even remotely rivalling it in popu-
lar acclaim.
The success with which VERY Good
Eddie" has met surprises no one per-
haps quite as much as it does Mr. F.
Ray Comstock and Miss Elizabeth
Marbury themselves, going upon the
theory generally entertained by even
the wisest of managers, that the sue
cess Of the best of theatrical produc-
tions is. after all, in the final analysis,
largely a matter of luck. Mr.. Com-
stock and Miss Marbury might on the
occasion of the New York premiere Of
the play have considered they would
be doing very well indeed il Every
Good Eddie" should do a capacity
business at the Princess for the ensu-
ing three months.
To be sure, the Marbury- Comstock
Company had taken unusual precau-
tons to insure Every Good Eddie"
running neck-to-neck with its prede-
cessor, Nobody Home" They had
made up their minds that inasmuch as
the company necessary to produce
Every Good Eddie" was an unusually
small one, ii should make up in what
1t would lack in quantity.
The company which they did select,
and which will be seen here intact,
combined with the melodious songs Of
Jerome Kern and the witty lines of
Guy Bolton, were all very skillfully
imposed on the very excellent farce
which marked the beginning of Philip
Bartholomae's career as playwright.
Very Good Eddie" is an anomoly
among musical productions. With no
star Interpreting it, no sensational
methods used in its exploitation and
nothing to recommend it beyond it's in.
herent merit, it has become the must
cal success Of the past decade and bids
fair to show profit to the Marbury-
Comstock Company Of better than a
half-million dollars.
