 THRlFT'S OPPORTUNITY
Chance to Build Prosperity's Foundation Never So Good.

A wholesome and much needed les son has been taught the American oro- pie by the government in the various loan and thrift campaigns which have been launched within the past two yeass.
 The War Savings Stamp Campaign should appeal especially to the salary and wage earner, man and woman. girl and boy, as an incentive to saving and investment The War Savings Stamp affords the readiest means of investment and the most frequent and largest returns in interest As boy I would have hailed with delight such an opportunity to invest my small earnings.
 AS a word of business advice to the American boy and girl, would say. out of your earnings, save something each week and make your savings earn money for you by investing them iG War Savings Stamps.

BUTTER CREASED sK|DS FUR ENTRY
 TO J. S. SENATE FRS Y, sELF-oENL.L, THEN THRIFT, PAVED WAY FOR
 HITcHcOCk'S SUCCESS. CALF WAS FIRST ASSET If War Savings Stamps Had e:en Available Progress Would
 Have Been Easier.

Butter! Did you ever hear of start ing life with nothing but?
 That is the way United States Sena- tor Gilbert M. Hitchcock started
 It was not by eating butter but by going without it that he got the start. He says
 My father told me that if l would 20 without butter for year, he would give me calf.
 "Why calf? I suppose it was be cause the young bovine animal nor mally consumes, when fed on it's mothers 1ilk, lot of cream which might otherwise become butter Ac- cordingly, if I saved { years butter might be deemed entitled to calf.
 Anyway, went butterless, and l got the calf.
 "A calf was of no use to me, so | sold it anC with the money bought few hens and a rooster, building up small trade in eggs and chickens, which sold to my own family and to the neighbors.
 My grandfather encouraged me to earn money, and save it. If there had been Thrift Stamps and War Sav- ings Stamps in those days, he would certainly have urged me to buy them. AS it was, he acted as my banker, and added a dollar for every one l saved, allowing me good interest on both.
 Later on, got job with my father and by the time 1 was 19 had ac- cumulated several hundred dollars. With this I paid my way through the law school On graduation l had used up about all of my money, but it was well spent The legal education that I obtained was the most valuable part of my training for The business of life. If I had not saved, I could not have gone to the law school. My savings gave me that opportunity, and enabled me to follow my bent.''

z. g.. W0de}s0zsse on
The Ciyber5tiu1e Tradition

! situation? The Bolton Wodehouss
musical comedy is farce put to music.
Il does not drag its chorus on in
highly improbable moments. Nor does
It allow itself to be tempted by the
possibility of making girls look like
hatboXes or lampshades or cocktail
glasses. 1t keeps its chorus IN a we'll
bred background, as a mere accessory.
The lyrics come out OF the situation.
All this is not new, you may say.
There is the Gilbertian Tradition. Now,
the Gilbertian Tradition is something
that every man who wants to write
libretto of taste and lyrics of distinc-
ton butts his head against. He drinks
deep at the source Ito change the
metaphor) and gets so drunk that he is
unified for original work. Mr.. Wode-
house at twenty-one wrote several fam
tastic plays which he thought were in
spired by Gilbert, but which he later
saw were slavish limitations The Gill
bert and Sullivan productions are ad-
mittedly the final achievements in their
line. But they grew quite naturally
out OF their time and conditions. They
are really quite intensely British in
their outlook and expression. They
were crystallized expression of their
time. They were presented before edu-
Gated audiences at the Savoy on whom
none Of their classic and satiric illu-
sions were wasted.
Those audiences were willing to mset
their objective satire by using IN
Imagination in meeting the fantastic
conditions Of presentation. that New
York audiences could not be persuaded
to exert. That is why charming and
quite exceptionally high class operetta
like Tine Arcadians" Of some seasons
ago failed in New York. Gilbert and
Sullivan's audiences were willing to so
to Utopia or Japan or nlyria. Ameri-
can audiences insist upon REALISM"
even in comic opera. The great Amer
lean musical comedy will have to be
something original and probably some
thing with a local flavor 1t will have
to steer somewhere between the Gil-
bertian Tradition and the Inchoatc
Tradition. Not only does American
taste limit the librettist, but the
conditions of production leave him
by no means unhampered. 1t is COM
plicated by what the public wants,
what the manager thinks the pub
tic wants and what the music pub
hshers want. There is trade fashion
in songs which the librettist must OBJ
serve. The manager demands that d
song receive certain number of en-
cores or that it be discarded
song is declared failure if the music
publishers do not sell a certain number
of copies Of it.
Bolton and Wodehouse have done a
good deal toward changing the trend
of musical comedy. Their well bred,
gracile intimacy has inscnsibly altersd
the fashion of the stupid and garish
musical production of ten years ago.
Their charm, their sparkle and their
kindliness have added to our fund OF
good taste. And that is considerable
achievement.
