WHAT'S GOING ON I'm THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

A packed house on the Fourth of
July is somewhat of novelty in the
theatrical business but the Plaza was
damned at every performance yester-
day and every feature of the bill was
enthusiastically received. The spirit
of the day seemed to reflect upon the
very temperament Of the most fas-
tidious and exacting theatregoer for
they were pleased with everything.
THE Crucible of Life" seven
act Elimination of the notable stage
triumph, Fairfax" is the big screen
attraction and in it is starred Grace
Diamond who was most charming
and effective in ali her success. The
picture tells a rather strong story in
manner that sends its moral home
dramatic tactics. 1t is admirably and
goregously staged and well worth the
price of admission in itself.
Eddie Muller and the Three Beau
ties gave a rather unique performance
with song, dance and comedy clev-
erly blended while Calvin and Thorn
ton scored the moment they came
upon the stage.
Nickels and Wood are a talented
team and their black-face song an6
dance numbers will get them favora,
BILE results on any bill.
The Duval Brothers gave very
good account of themselves in a verJ
odd act that combined acrobatics
tumbling and violin playing most en-
| tertaingly.
A Christie comedy and an interest
ing travel film completed the pro
gram.

VENE1UELA'S INDEPENDENCE.

The first movement for independ-
ence in Venezuela was initiated in
1877 by Gaul and Espana, but it fail
ed, as did the later revolutions of Gen.
Francisco Miranda and other patriots.
It was not until 1910 that a rebellion
led by the citizens of Caracas gained
a temporary success. Don Vicente
Emparan, the Spanish governor, was
deposed, and on July 5, 1911, a con-
stitutional congress formally declared
the independence of the United Prov
inces of Venezuela. The 5th of July
has ever since been celebrated as the
national holiday of the country, and a
great fiesta will be held today in Cara
cas- in celebration of the event.
In 1912 the revolutionists, after 6
year of power, were defeated in bat
tie by the Spanish troops. and Spanish
authority was again established. II
1913 Simon Bolivar, the liberator O.
South America, took up arms agains
the Spaniards and in 1919 fnall!
ended Spanish rule in the northern
part Of South America. Venezuel,
became part Of Bolivar's Create
Colombia, but in 1880 was made al
independent republic, which is nov
known as the United States of Venez
uela. The republic has an area o
nearly 500, 900 square miles, but it i
one of the most sparsely populate
countries Of the continent.

pillars which upheld the roof and has
recovered enough to make one COM

will be the most notable specimen OF
Egyptian architecture in this country.
The pillars were six feet In diameter,
eighty feet high, covered with inscrip-
lions and pictures inlaid with gold.
Much of the paneling of the room and
the lintels of the doors also were in

BUYERS AND SELLERS.

One of the queer old fashioned
phrases you used to hear about trade
was this: Good wine needs no
BUSH" The word 'bush" meant an
old. fashioned tavern sign, the phrase
indicating that a good article sells
itself without effort
But if there is any article that is
selling itself without effort and mi
tiative, one would like to know what
it is.
F.. In the 18th century, it was easy to
sell things. Comparatively few peo-
4 pie had got ahead so far that they
had anything to sell. Consequent
~ when a man did have the enter
prise to put any article on the market
/ he was pretty sure to dispose Of it.
assuming it was any good. In those
days the buyers sought the market
They would go around to see what
the sellers had to sell. All a seller
had to do was to sit tight in his owl
little shop, and the world would come
to him.
Sellers are not scarce today. Ev
eryone who gets ahead a little in lif'
is constantly trying to sell something
to break into some new field, to pu
over some new article, or open u
some new selling place. Consequent
ly there are a great many more sell
ers than are needed to supply tn
public wants. Many of them fail. I
they just sit down and wait for trad
to come, after the manner of the oil
time seller, their case is a disheart

To succeed in the business worI
today, the seller must rise above tn
mass He must go out to meet tn
buyer, pursue him, provo to hi1
that he has something better tina
the ordinary seller has. Modern az
vertising furnishes him the means
4 do it inexpensively and with the lea!
effort. He can sit still in his stoI
while the newspaper carries his stor

ARE ADVERTISED
MEDICINES WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to condemn

to condemn all physicians or all drug
gists. Fakes there are in every pro-
fession and in every trade, but they
do not lost long. Take a medicine like

fact that for 40 years it has been re-
