Ny hO iDednS lne ItdSI VI tHtSe To- the
successful Thespian.
None appreciates the very best in
N automobile construction and appoint
ments than the actor or actress. The
salesman can interest them without
trouble IL he has something of real
merit In his car to call to their atten-
tion.
But he must have "the goods" for
there Is hardly any class of professional
persons as whole who know more
about the good and bad points of an
automobile than the stage star or the
theatrical manager or producer. The
reason is not far to seek.
They own cars-every man. woman
and child of them who have been sue
cessful enough TO have their names
brought before the public as stage sue
cesses. Most of them own new car
every year. They believe this Is economy
Know Auto Fine Points
Constant association with the best In
motordom has made them wise" to all
the good and bad points of a car ard
the salesman always finds them ready
willing and able to talk turkey" when
he has some real improvement to snow
them.
Some of the famous personages OF
the stage have more than one car Al
Jolson. the noted Winter Garden STAR
for instance, has three-a Stutz.
erce-Arrow and a Packard. He needs
them all too, does AL, for he has most
of friends-as has Mrs. Jolson-and
when they are not going to or coming
from some engagement they are sending
FOR friends and the three big cars prove
none too many for their needs.
Then there is Lee Shubert, who with
his brother, ]. J. Shubert, control more
theatrical enterprises in this country
than any other person. He has two cars
Ia Packard and a Pierce-Arrow, and
when the rush of business is greater
than usual he sometimes supplements
these with taxicabs.
shuberts Have Many Cars
]. ]. Shubert has a car, imported
from England. 1t Is Rolls Royce. L.
A. Blumberg, general manager of the
Shubert enterprises here-the Sam D.
Shubert, Lyric and Adelphi Theatres,
and the Chestnut street Opera House
has a National, which Is given about as
little rest as any car in Philadelphia.
Lawrence Shubert Lawrence, a mem
ber of the Shubert family, and manager
of the Lyric Theatre, has Chalmers
car, given to him by his uncle. Lee
Shubert, which he drives constantly and
hard.

dinately proud while the Watson Sisters

have a handsomely appointed Pierce
Arrow. Just who chose the car Is
matter of debate among their friends.
\Some insist that it was Bert's choice
hile others say that his better hair
made the final decision after many miles
bf demonstrations in various makes.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Green agree with
Them. They say that the Pierce-Arrow
represents their joint choice.
~ Edwad Bloom of the same company,
cuts loose in his off stage moments in a
luxuriously accessoried Packard.
stutz Harry Fox's Favorite
Nothing but Stutz suits Harry Fox,
the intimitable comedian of the "Oh
Look I" Company now playing at the
Sam S. Shubert Theatre in this city.
He can be seen almost any non-matinee
afternoon, opening the big car up along
the, good Fairmount Park roads or out
along the Old York Road. His smile
Is sufficient proof of his innocence when
some husky parkguard or country con-
stabule accuses him of exceeding the
speed limit. Never has he been hailed
before a magistrate or Justice of the
peace to explain where he was going In
such hurry
