opened a weeks engagement at the
National last night.
Thomas A Wise and William Court
ensy are the co-stars Of the play
written by ]. L. Harold Terry and
imported from England and which
has been running In New York for
about year. II is a delightful
comedy in three acts and true to life
as il exists in Great Britain today
where peers may be found In the
ranks and their tailors are in COM
mand.
The little General Post" is taken
from an old English parlor game
where each player assumes the name
of some city and all are seated except
one, who standing in the middle cries
for instance London to Edinburgh"
and the players representing these
cities exchange chairs. At intervals
the standing player calls general
Post" which means that everybody
must change places. Thus general
Post" is a general shake-up.
So in the game of life the cry is
applicable today.
"All of the action OF the play takes
place in the morning room of Sir
Dennys Broughton's residence
Grange Court" near Sheffngham.
The first act takes place in 1911, when
it developes that Sir Dennys' daughter

best customer. He is told that Betty

also makes known that he is about
to remove himself to London. Real

Act two takes place in 1915, when

and with him is his commanding Of

Sir Dennys, by this time. is a private
in the Territorials. and greets his
former tailor cordially, but the Lady
Broughton snubs him, thereby shock
ing her husband and her son, now a
subaltern.
Act three takes place in 10 after
the war and it is BrIgadier General
Smith V. c., whom the Broughtons
want Betty to marry. She takes her
own good time in driving home the
lesson of snobbery to her fond pa

The simplest method known to get
relief is TO apply few drops of

This drug IS Eummy but dries in
a moment and seems to just shrivel

even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin.
This should interest many men
and women here.
