His Bridal Night.

Frederick v. Bowers, the star of His
Bridal Night" which comes to the
Academy tomorrow and wednesday
and Wednesday matinee. is one of the
hard working members of the the
strical profession. Born in Boston,
he attended the Conservatory of Mu-
sic when only ten years old. At fif-
teen he went on the stage as singer
and a few years later developed the
gift of composition. His FIRST real hit
was Because" and he followed this
shortly after with When I Think of
You" and Always" which were i'm
mensely popular in Europe as well as
in this country and placed him Sc
curely as one of the foremost OF song
writer's.
Mr.. Bowers refused to compete with
the composers of ragtime numbers
even when that style of music Was In
it's greatest demand. preferring to
write something which would satisfy
himself even II 1t did not produce such
large financial returns. He decided 10
act and played the leading Juvenile
role in Mcintyre and Heath's Al-star
production of The Ham Tree" and
afterward Joined the forces OF the La
Sale company of Chicago. being tne
star OF many of their musical comedy
successes. He next turned his atten~
ton to vaudeville and for several
years his big musical and dancing re-
vue, the music composed by himself,
has been eagerly looked forward 80
by the public. His more recent SONG
hits are Come to Ne Now When ]
Need You" and Soldier Boy" Mr..
Bowers spends his summers on his
farm in Red Bank. N. J., and is as en-
thusiastic over his crops RS his music.
He claims that at least four of tho
musical numbers in His Bridal Night
will be the rage and as he Ia the pub
Usher as well an the composer, he an
ticipates a big year.

of theories or doctrines than with the

Red Cross Issues.
important Orders
ADJUTANT GENERAL ORDERS
THE RED CROSS ARTICLES
BE CARED FOR

There is still some question, in the
minds of certain American citizens.
that articles made by the Red Cross
are disposed of by the men to whom
they are issued. The following re-
print of an article published in the
Northern Division Bulletin of April
l should settle that criticism con-
clusively.
The order was sent to the COM
handing generals of all national
guard, national army and regular
army divisions, and all department
commanders to prevent the dissipa-
ton and waste of the great quaint
ties of knitted material which have
been distributed by the Red Cross in
the past few months to the enlisted
personnel of the army. The order
follows:
l. You will cause an inventory tc
be taken, at once, in each organiza-
ton under your command, of all ar
ticles of wearing apparel issued to
the organizations or individuals OF
such organizations by the Red Cross
or other charitable societies and re-
quire the unit supply officers to take
~ VII tAOA1 1SIO1 AIS anu dSSOullO 1Ol
these articles as though they were
government property regularly sup.
piled by the quartermaster corps.
2. You will require future dona.
lions of this character to be distrib-
uted through the department or di.
vision quartermaster, who will OBJ.
tain from a division director of the
Red Cross, or the authorized agent
society making the donation, a list
of the articles he has for distribu.
ton, and distribute them to the or.
CARNATIONS in accordance with sactual
needs; the unit supply officers to re-
ceipt for the articles thus received
and issue them to organizations in
the same manner as government
property is issued, turning in to the
camp or other quartermaster, any ir
excess of the immediate needs of the
organizations he is to supply.
8. You will also require organi-
cation commanders to issue such ar
ticles to enlisted men of his command
in accordance with actual needs, to
exercise the same care in their use
and preservation and to turn them
in to the quartermaster for renova-
ton at the end of the season, or when
no longer required, as though they
were government property.

GREEN STOCKINGS is COMEDY
PRESENTED AT ARMORY
FRIDAY NIGHT

The class of 10 presented the Eng
fish comedy, Green stockings, at the
Armory last Friday evening to a
very large audience and with very
great credit to themselves and to
their stage director ]. G. Ryan who
had worked hard with the cast for
the past several weeks.
The play in itself was a happy
choice containing many clever lines
and situations while not being above
the reach of the amateur. All the
young actors read their lines in an
acceptable manner and the play was
very pleasing to the audience.
The leading part was taken by
Miss Esther Goudy who was well
supported by the remainder of the
cast as follows: Leon Luscher, Es-
Their Davis, Bernice Parker, Betty
Hunter, Margaret McNaughton, John
Mnrset, Arthur Kumm, Clemens Hill

Clip Coupons
Buy Stamps
INTEREST DUE WEDNESDAY,
MAY Is, ON SECOND LIBER-
TY LOAN BONDS

F. R. Lobdell, Redwood County
Chairman for the sale Of War Saw
ings- Stamps has called the attention
of the Gazette to the fact that to
day, May Is, is the date of the clip
ping of tire first coupon from the
Liberty Bonds bought in the second
loan. Mr.. Lobdell also suggests that
when these coupons are clipped they
should be Immediately used to pur-
chase Thrift Stamps. The three To-
cal banks will be especially prepared
to care for the sale of these stamps
today and the public is asked to loan
Uncle Sam the interest on the mon
ey already loaned him, thereby get
ting more interest. Thrift Stamps
are perhaps the best investment the
government has offered, and this sug.
gested disposal of the interest or
bonds is a wise one.
Redwood County has not done hel
best in regard to the sale of thrift
stamps and the Understanding bono
is one very good means of evening
up the score.
