AT THE
THEATERS
A STAGE COLONIAL HOME

Henry Miller, long recognized az
one Of the most artistic stage directors
of the day, took especial pains in
producing Come Out of the Kitchen"
the comedy of southern life by A. T..
Thomas to preserve the southern at
mosphere and surroundings. A friend
recently said to Mr.. Milleri
You have real wall paper on the
wallis. and 1t has been painted. rubbed,
polished and washed with buttermilk
to make 1t seem like what it really
is; but is this labor worthy of the
cause to which 1t is assigned %

II is the play that counts, For two
minutes the audience will be i'm
pressed by the perfection of the in
animate settings, but after that moth
ing counts save the story you are tell
as far as the audience is concerned
but for the actor with imagina ton the
physical environment is everything. In
the play, let us say, the actor ia
handed a medallion, or a cameo. If
1t is real he will react 1t, and when he
says: Tt In priceless heirloom he
will be much more likely 60 believe
himself II the baubie is really and
intrinsicaily what he pretends that 1t

succeed in spite of blue carpets on
the floor and green curtains against
the windows. but that is the kind
of goods which that style of producer
Is promoting. IT hasn't anything to
do with you or me. Many prosper in
spite of the fact that not only are
their properties wretched. but their
plots are worse. Still we do not model
our work on such. For my purpose
the question OF scenery is one of vital
importance not to the audience, but
TO me and the players 1t Is the sense
OF truth which must be felt by the
player before 1t can he expressed

1t is dangerous to take any chances
with acid stomach. So test your own
case and find ont for sure whether
acid-stomach is the cause OF your i'll
health. Here is the surest and most
simple test for you TO make: Go TO
your druggist and get big box OF

bring such wonderfully quick relief
that you viii think ii almost too good

clean, sweet, cool and comfortable.
You can almost feel it work as it drives
the gas and bloat out OF your body.
Yen will feel like your old time self
agaln-get back your pep, enthusiasm
and energy--be hearty, hungry, vigor-
Gus, keen, eager to be up and coming.
If you are not entirely pleased with
your test of EATONIC, take it back to
your druggist. Our orders are that he
will refund your money. Your word
IL good enough for us, so make this

WHERE WEDDING CONGRATULATIONS ARE WRITTEN IN SAND

DEFoRE the war and even the rush
ing days of peace before that. there
used to be seen in quieter times in
Cheshire. Engiand--at Knutsford, to be
exact-a very pretty custom at we'd
dinss which is. I believe. unique. Its
origin is picturesque. also.
Two centuries ago. when the old
church was erected, 1t was located about
q mile from the town. and 1t had no
bells. Therefore, the villagers had no
public way to make their rejoicing at a
wedding known. So they oontrived the
odd method of sanding"
On the day of the celebration of a
wedding the friends of the happy pair
decorated the sidewalks in front of their
houses by strewing white sand in vari-
Gus patterns. Every one who passed
could read their good wishes for their
friends.
Sometimes this ornamentation took
the form of curved lines, one above the
other. and sometimes of diamonds and
segments of circles. Long life and
happiness" was a frequent phrase. In
genious friends added red sand and
yellow. and made pretty designs Of
hearts entwined.
When a well known inhabitant mar
ried. every household In the village set
out to rival its neighbor with the variety
and good taste OF tho designs they made
of sand. Then the boys of the village
gathered in front of the couples door
and sang to them. The boys expected
that money would be thrown for them
to scramble for. If 1t wasn't they set
up the cry "A buttermilk wedding"
and kept II up until the bridegroom
threw them some coins.
And even today-though there Is fine
