"TOBEY'S BOW" AT

Greenwich Village the Scene
Of New Play Of b.

"BEST SELLER" STARTS 1T
Love Story Worked Out in
Atmosphere Of Old
Virginia.
Toby. Bow,'-At the Comedy Theatre.

Greenwich Village came to the sur
night. 1t blurted into the apartments
of novelist who had been at Webster
Hall the night before. He was still
feeling the effects, but his friends se-
lected his apartment to play poker for
breakfast-or for disrobng. When the
call of modesty was too strong to be re-
sisted the loser could buy food A gar
te.' and two stockings were courageously
lost. When an enveloping Spanish shawl
seemed likely to 20 with disastrous re-
suits the lady agreed to buy. SO she
borrowed IS from the remorsxul host
and the party disappeared.
The hero OF "Toby's Bow" which
John d. Williams presented at the Com
edy Theatre, was a novelist guilty Of the
crime of the best seller. But his pub
Usher unselhshly persuaded him 10 go
to Virginia for rest and even advanced
him the money. There he was to re-
cover his health and his moral stamina.

Although the arts disappeared win
the first act. the soothing influences OF
literature continued throughout the play
which Ia the work OF John Taintor Foote.
The young granddaughter OF the impov-
erished and aristocratic Virginia family
was going to save the plantation by her
literary efforts. 1t was inevitable that
the novelist. although there incognito.
should come to her aid. They collab-
GRATED successfully. Not only did the
young woman's style improve but she
and the country made new man OF
the New Yorker. They were not only
| united happily in letters but III the
bonds of matrimony. to which she was
| much better suited and in which OF
course collaboration was again neces-
sary.
Mr.. Foote. who is the author OF the
new play, Is also a writer Of fiction. 10
he probably knows the literary tenpera-
ment. His language is at least more
| distinguished than most of that heard IN
recent plays. There was cleNerly

Many nice letters reach
us in the daily course of
business, but now and
again one specially hits
our fancy.
Here, for example, is a
note addressed to tn e
Manager of our Warren St.
Store, telling about a letter
of introduction which in a
nutshell says all we could
say and more!
I'm my hurry to get my train
yesterday I forgot to tell you
that / have given letter of in
PRODUCTION to my friend, Mr..
B, who has taken a great
fancy to that Scotch tweed
suit you sent me few weeks
ago. He has always been to a
custom tailor and was much
surprised that I bought this
ready made; wants to come in
and see you; also surprised at
the cost, $42. Mr.. B is a
fine fellow and I think you
should make a good customer
of him. I know you will take
good care of him when he
presents his letter of introduce
ton"
These CHEEKY words are
especially appreciated be-
cause the writer is not only
a successful merchant, but
a good judge of values, and
the sort of friend who,
should occasion require,
never hesitates to tell us of
our faults, for our own
good as he puts it, as in
deed we hope you all will
when things go wrong.

FARMERS ARE SORE.

U. S. Senator Capper of Kansas
predicts that the farmers will go slow
on food production next year. The
farmers will not lay down or strike
but they are more or less peeved at
the low profits, labor shortage and
high wages and costs of machinery
and other items. Then the farmers
work IL to 16 hours day because
they have to while the mechanics are
asking for shorter hours and conse-
quently lessened production, points
out the Kansas senator who is a far
mer and farm paper publisher. There
is no concerted action among the far
mers but they are individually sizing
things up.

dictionary or selfish to dictate the
destinies of our living together.
There is an old Persian proverb
which says, 'The dogs bark, but the
caravan moves on The dogs of
self seeking, of reaction, of inferior
ideals are barking loudly in America
today, but we, who move with the
caravan bearing the ideals of Ameri-
can democracy, must move steadily
onward-our feet on solid earth. our
eyes fastened on the stars.
/ recommend to Lancaster this
means of honoring our soldiers. In
replacing the DID, over-crowded, un-
sanitary building which now stands
as a monument to our shortcomings
as true citizens, by beautiful, prac-
tical and adequate modern school
building we should render three
fold service. First: by giving fitting
honor to those to whom honor is due
Second: by playing fair with Young
America, whose interests we have
neglected, and who are entitled to ev-
cry facility for keeping step with the
march of the worlds progress in ed
ucation, and who also are entitled to
opportunity to physical development
which we now deny them. We, who
have demanded physical perfection
for the purpose of killing, must not
lose sight OF the need of physical
training for the purpose of living.
America needs men and women who
are physically fit, who stand straight,
are clear eyed, red blooded and alert,
to carry the ever-increasing burden
which citizenship imposes. Third:
and | want you TO get this-we would
vindicate ourselves in the eyes of the
world, showing that sincere in our
Americanism, we are done being pen
ny-bound individuals and are ready
to identify ourselves with the rest of
humanity for the common good
