 With the plaudits of the f3oston press still ringing in his ears, William Hodge comes to the Shubert, New Haven, for a three days enga cement comm encing New Years Day, with matinees on the holiday and Satur- day, under the personal direction of Lee Shubert. His vehicle is 'The Guest of Honor, said by the Hub critics to be the best thing he has done since ''The Man From Home, which ranks among the sensa tfonal successes in the history of the Amer ican stage.
 MT. Hodge is the author as well as the star of The Guest of Honor. It is a three-act comedy romance of New York life telling a happy story in a happy vein.

The charac- ters involved in the unfolding of the plot are distinctive types and of the kind which intrigue the interest of the spectators.
 MT. Hodge has surrounded himself with an excellent company including Jane Houston, Jennie Lamont, Ethel Winthrop, Miriam McCauIey. Jane Boring, Jean Howard, Scott Cooper, Brigham Royce, Graham Lucas, J. Albert Hall, David A. Leonard, George Lund, Howard Morgan, George Svnd- ham, etc

Germany Has Lost Mexican Trade.

district of Mexico are of American
manufacture. according to recent re-
port from Norton F. Brand, United
States consul at Selinas Cruz. Prior
to the war all the jewelry and glass
ware were imported from Germany
and Spain. The war has eliminated
Germany entirely from the Mexican
markets and the activity of American
business men has been so great that
Imports from Spain have been mate

But Mr.. Brand warns American
manufacturers that the goblets and
tumblers they ship to Mexico are too
small. The tropics are thirsty cline
aud Mexicans drink deeply. Mr.. Brand
declares if American merchants do not

be driven from the field when Euro
pean supplies are again available aft

business men the necessity of studying
the needs of the Mexican trade.
