produce this play in New York my
good friend Lee Shubert, in looking
over the cast, exclaimed: why, Ollie.
you haven't n name in the whole
castl" I can also remember that
replied: perhaps not Lee, but
know I've got hell Of lot of good
actors"
Their qualifications to play the parts
for which I had selected them was
verified FIRST by the huge success OF
the play and second by the individual
success achieved by q great majority
Of that unknown cast.
1t was in this play that Leo Garlic,
previously only known as a vaudeville
artist, played his first legitimate
comedy role on Broadway--thnt OF
Louis Ldtour, the French Canadian
valet. His work in this part immedl-
OF the most distinct and unusual
ability. His success was instantaneous
and probably all the bigger for the rea-
son that he had not before been seen
In n Broadway production.
then had the Hattons write a play
for him called lombard, Ltd" in
which he played the chief role and
scored an even greater success than
before. with the result that the play
occupied the Morosco Theatre all last
year. His success In this part, in fact
ives so pronounced that I recently
placed his name above the title OF the
play and elevated him to the rank OF
star.
Another person Of the Upstairs and
Down" cast who also scored heavily
and who was practically an unknown
was Grace Valentine. Her success ir
a comparatively small character role
decided mo to give her better oppor-
tunity and cast her for the impor'
tant role of the little manikin, DuisJ
MuItorey, in lombard, Ltd" She also
verified my judgment. with the result
that while Mr.. Garlic Is now starret

On the other hand, TO prove that

shown by the fact that only recently

Thomas Wise for "Cappy Kicks" the

OF the fact that they are stars, but
because do not believe there are two
better actors in America to play the
roles of Cdppv Kicks and Captain
Matt PeusIey. This is again proved
in my recent engagement OF Ernest
Truck and Edith Taliaferro for the

simple reason that they possess Just

Quired for the parts.
NY contention Is that II a real
Frenchman can play a Frenchman
better than a dialect actor, then en-
gape the Frenchman: or for that mat
ter an Italian, Chinaman or Jnpa-
nese than actors OF these various
races. then engage the dialect actor.
Leo GARLIC can play any ono OF the
three better than any actor ] have
ever seen. Grace Valentine is what 7
call a character ingenue, and in my
opinion would fail In n sweet. sen.i-
mental ingenue role. I'll take that
back; she's too good an actress TO fail
in any role. but she eXcels in character
comedy roles, such as the ono she is
now playing In lombard, Ltd"

 The Admiral Line officials receiv- cd word that the bottom of the A l. miral Sims is broken, the sails blown away and possibly the ship is a total loss.
 The crew is reported to have been saved.
 The Admiral Sims was enroute to Singapore to San Francisco.
 The schooner sailed from here, on her maiden trip, last July.

SERBIA IS AGAIN ON
 FEET

BELGRADE, Nov., 25- By A. p.--~ Serbia is on its feet again. The peo- ple have recovered from the immedi- ate effects of the war. The crops this year are exceptionally good. There is now plenty of food in the country There is, however, shortage of cloth ing, shoes and fabrics of all kinds Farming implements and machinery of every variety also are much needed.
 The physical condition of the peo- ple is excellent. In some of the remote districts there is lack of doctors and certain essential medicines, but this need gradually is being met by the American Red Cross physicians, who have established free dispensaries and clinics at many points.
 Reports frequently go out from Ser bia that the country still is in dire need. The writer, who has traveresed the whole of the country and investi- gated conditions among the popula- ton, is in a position to say these state ments are groundless. There is poverty in the country, to be sure, but 1t IS 2 poverty that is chronic to Serbia, as il is to most other Balkan countries There will always be small percent age of people who, either because of disability or indifference, do not work and who become charges on the pub lie.
 The flour sent in by the United States Food Administration, the food, clothing and medicines given by the American Red Cross, the generous contributions of the Serbian Relief Fund. and the intending aid of thu British relief societies, has put the pcople in a condition of health and comfort scarcely known before.
 It is probable Serbia will be able this year to export a part of its fine cereal crops. The rich Banat region which was wrested from Austria has produced one of the the greatest crops of corn and wheat in it's history. Some of the enormous yields will be sent to other countries in trade for coal,, oil and other needed articles.
