Knit Goods Market Improves.

Slow but steady improvement is
shown In knit goods" reports the Ma
tional Association of Hosiery and Under
wear Manufacturers. Buying has been
stimulated to some extent by the fact
that the closing down of many mills and
the operating Of many others on part
time threatens a scarcity in some lires
"Jobbers manifest more confidence as
1t becomes apparent that business among
retailers now is at approximately nor
mai. The consumer has been inclined TO
wait in expectation of lower prices
which do not seem probable, in view of
the shortening OF the work day and the
practical certainty that present wage
levels will be maintained.
There is a good demand for novelties
and specialtes. notably in sweater coats,
ard in these garments. as In hosiery, the
trend Is toward the high colors"

GOOD BAD WOMAN
PROBLEM PLAY
Old DR.. Bennett Concerned i'll
Performance Given at
Harris Theatre.

1t was reassuring to read the name or
Richard Bennett at the top OF the pro-
gramme OF the Harris Theatre last
night. The title OF the new play, "A
Good Bad Woman" was enough to make
nervous souls uneasy. Then there were
other incidents that made Mr.. Benefits
participation In the occasion more or
less of a comfort. The theme OF the
new drama is a practice forbidden by the
law of state and church. With the name
OF Mr.. Bennett, who through his long
experience with Damaged Goods" be-
came almost household word in certain
parts>of the country In PLAIN view. there
was the feeling that education was go
ing to be looked after as 1t should be.
Under the auspices of the actor who be-
came known over sueh a wide territory
as the old DR.. Bennett of the Drama.
uplift was going to be handed out. as 1t
were. in the right way.
The Subject of the New Play.
William Anthony Mcclure. who wrote
"A Good Bad Woman" made his hero
inc more innocent than she meant to be.
She was wife fearful of the burdens
and dangers OF maternity. An evil
whisper sent her to physician. He
proved to be the old friend of her hus-
band. Chance revealed to this husband
the crime that he feared had been COM
mltted. But the phys clan and friend
was innocent. He had purposely de-
ceived the wife, and from the intent of
evil no real harm had come. The play
thus came to its end happily for all but
the spectators. 1t had been too long
! deferred to be altogether satisfactory 10
them.
There was a great deal OF talk about
the terrors OF this function. which the
world has come to regard as inc dental
to the course of nature. For the heroine
who sighed incidentally for the pleasure
OF dancing in cabarets there was little
sympathy, although Margaret Ellington
played the role with all the naturalness
possible TO such a character. II was a
very self-contained and artistic denote
ment of such unusual emotions Then
Miss Ellington looked uncommonly pretty.
Katherine kaelred, who was putting
her former husbands honesty TO the test
by sending him such patient. empha-
sized every unlovely trait OF the revenge
ful woman's nature. Wilton Lackaye
was dignified and plausible as the doc.
tor, who seemed to have no business to
be mixed up in such an AFFAIR in view OF
the ethics he boosted OF. so there was
after all, only the deceived husband for
the audience TO admire--at least to view
WIN toieTation. ROBERT Edeson made
his serious moments impressive.
There was. however, something more
! than the homogeneous blend OF obstetric.
and drama. Comic relief was present ir
the person Of maid who practiced tbs

Priceless Ruby Caught on Fly.

All through the chain lightning action,
indeed, Mr.. Hobart has his good natured
fling at the remarkable things that can
occur in the world as soon as a curtain
goes up anywhere. Crooks pursue his
hero, with designs on his life and his
bank account. but always he foils them
by a simple motion OF his brain A
priceless ruby is shot into the story
actually shot into II, because one OF the
personages aims at Chdrley's head. but
blows the gem into his hands instead
Toward the end the play sprints into
haunted house, and there is the usual
mixture of creepiness and flashes Of
spooky light-helped out by the flashes
OF humor. Then just as all the threads
Of the story seem inextricably tangled
up and the dramatist apparently decides
that the only way OF solving his problem
is by blowing the whole works to smith
Greens with a bomb. the big bang actu-
ally comes in the form OF a surprise
finish.
The piece made the audience breath
less from thAlls and laughter but on
the whole II was kept from reaching the
point where II seemed to be turning flip
fiops. II was prevented from being too
wild. perhaps, by the most substantial
looking shoe store setting in the first
act that ever made property man
groan. Solidity was also contributed
by the quite natural and unassuming
acting of Lynne Overman as the smiling
hero, who lived through amazing adven-
lures In very informal way.
Frank Mccormack stood out very
amusingly as small town sport who
had kept up with the times in sTang but
not In brains. Amy Leah Dennis, a
newcomer, was bright and winsome as
heroine. Lilyan Eastman and Estella
Taylor were enjoyable as the variety
sirens, and In fact the entire cast caught
he spirit of the play admirably and had
a grand lark. II Is described as a IA BILE
on the programme. but II "Aesop's
Fables" had one-tenth as much fun
they'd be best sellers.

"Come-On Charley"--At the Forty

man with headache started Come
On Charley" on its way at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre last night but It's
safe to say no one In the audience had
headache at the fnish-uness head

which Is not matter of record. Prob
ably the only thing that ached about
the theatregoers last night was their

at that he couldn't have had near as
much diversion as those who witnessed
1t. and whose hllarity actually seemed

curtain speech.
The piece Is in three acts. five scenes
and unnumbered screams. 1t receives its
original impetus from lawyer who Is
to present $4,000 to young shoe clerk.
Charley Carter, which has been be-
queathed by Charleys uncle, and who
conceives the idea OF telling the young
man that his defunct relative actually
left him $1,000, 900, with the proviso that
he is to get 1t only on condition that he
raise 100000 with the $4,000 stake

Cannot Understudy Destiny,

on hearing this proposition expounded
the audience prepa red to curl up In their
seats. lulled by the familiar strain. and
let the evening slip away into Nirvana.
But right away Mr.. Hobart started to
prove his moral which was that no man
can understudy destiny, because too
many things are liable to happen. Right
away practically everything possible that
ever happened to a young man virtually
fell upon "Come-on" Charley Carter.
The spectators began to lose control
of themselves as soon as Ponsy and Pan
dte'ld, doing sister act In vaudeville,
came on and gave n sample OF their
sketch in order to win Charley over as
their angel with part of that $4,000,
which he commences handing out to
everybody who can show him they need
1t more than he does The act Is actu-
ally booked for a New York temple of
vaudeville, the agent saying it's 50
rotten it'll surely be a big hit"
And Instead OF throwing his money
away by his seemingly foolish generos-
ity the young clerk actually begins haul
ing II in like a Liberty Loan. 1t almost
SHOWS him under like the flood OF shoe
boxes he lets loose in the first act. In
fact this Is a highly ludicrous satire on
all the money not In the mint simply
by the application OF the stages curefire
business methods-the only question be-
ing why the playwrights don't apply
these methods themselves.

among them ALL and there was w. L.
Durst a man of great talents and of fine
financial ability; there were Thos. F. Riley
and Parker. Jordon; Joel S. Bailey and
Coon DuPre; they had VIM. H.-Bailey and
Joel Abney, Bill Mckinney, of the Gimlet,
and Capt Rook; all men of great parts,
who were willing to spend and be spent in
the service of their city. But they have
crossed over the river. Cad Waller has
gone too, and while his brother, Hon. G.
4. C. Waller still survives, he no longer
takes an active interest in the affairs .of the
CITY. The men who made Greenwood have
passed from life's scenes of activity. 1t is
true that for q season Hon: A. Foster Nc
Kissick> dwelt there, kept the city alive
and gave it something of the Importance
of it's former days. But he tired OF the ]ob
and is now a citizen of Greenville.
Who is left to make of Greenwood
college city? No one except Col. Charles
M. Calhoun, the author of pleasing vol
ume about Greenwood i'm the early days
when the men wore copperas breeches,
and knit "galluses,'' and when the COW
bells sounded along Main Street as the
cows came marching home when the
North wind began to blow. It may be said
of him thot he is entitled as q literary man
to rank with Samuel '5ordon, Of Abbeville
County, who during the war wrote vol
,ume entitled, "The Ensign OF Liberty, OF
The Wicked One Revealed" and who with
his mule and buggy was arrested by Fed:
eral soldiers somewhere in North Carolina
while he was on his way to Washington to
settle the fracus which the South was hay-
ing with Abe Lincoln.
\ And the only big financiers LETT IN
Greenwood now, men big enough to pay
out money for college, are Hon. Sam. Il.
McGhee and COL Ben F. McKellar. And
Honorable Sam would hardly undertake
the enterprise. His business ventures In
Greenwood are too insignificant as com
pared with his more important activities
. in New York, Washington, Baltimore and
Pearl, Ca, to give any ground for hope
that he would undertake the work. And OF
Col. Ben it may be said that his, style Of
architecture would not suit college His
handsome home on the Cokesbury road
may be something for wonderment'
amongst his neighbors in Greenwood, and
upon which wondering, they gaze, but it
has never been decided, nor even sug-
gested in dissenting opinion by Fraser, ].
that cologne columes'' would look hand
some hung on college.

So mote it be!

But of all the wild-eyed suggestions
which have been made with regard to the
removal OF Ersknc College from Due West
to Abbcville, the very worst which has
come to us is from the Spartanburg Jour-
nal, which thinks that if the college is to
be moved at all, it should go to Greenwood.
Does the Journal man not know that
Greenwood can hardly keep up with Lam
der, and it is one study college? A real
old fashioned institution which teaches
all the fundamentals, such as readin',
'ritin' and rithmetic at the same time
would be entirely too much for a settle
ment like Greenwood.
And then think of the extra work the
would cast on the boys who stand at%th
street crossings and tell you, when you
are in hurry, and when not, about how
fast that town is growing. What an
amount of extra effort it would cast on
them, when, too, they are already so bad
ly over worked! Col. George Hodges, we
hear, has already lost his job as foreman
at the Oregon crossing and we are not
surprised When we were there a little
while ago, he was so busy giving us bal
loon ascension on how much wider gal
Ion Of molasses would puddle in Green
wood than in any other city in the state,
he let two strangers get by him without
telling them that the population of Green
wood had grown three since the evening
before-the leading plumbers wife hav-
ing during the night presented him with
twins, while Greenwood woman mar
ried husband in the lower part of the
state, bringing him into the city under
cover of the darkness. That is where
Cptulti Gcnrge lost.
Besides Greenwood as everybody knows,
like the old gray mare, is not what she
used to be. There were mighty men in
Greenwood twenty five years ago. There
was DR.. J. G. Maxwell, the grand old man
