r. xPANDING the sex magazine
r. short story to the three act
- play Is not, after all. SO easy as
it seems. Cosmo Hamilton seemed in
so far as 1t was possible to judge from
his condition by the text Of Scandal"
to be pretty well winded before the
second act was at its end. There Is
not more than fifteen minutes Of drama
In the whole play. AS this occupies
the closing part of the second act Mr..
Hamilton had to lead a string of un-
stage rather uninterruptedly to keep
this climax in it's right place.
II might have come at any time.
In addition to merely making the
Jay occupy the length of time re-
,uired, there was. one other duty on
he shoulders of the author. He had
TO keep up the plays reputation for
pquancy.
In the text of the piece he seemed
to be peeping out from the wings to
warn the public that it was going tc
get what II wanted.
Now just be patient" he seemed tc
BE speaking through the text. y
know it's rather slow just at this min
ute, but in a little while you'll be
glad you waited"
The author is indefatigable in his
effort to hold on to the interest Of hi
audience.
Now, don't worry about the SLOW
parts right along here" he seemed Il
say once or twice. "Just walt; ther
you viii see how really risque thii
play is going to be-"
Back went the head Of the autho
and the spectators continued to listen
But Mr.. Hamilton was taking his worl
seriously. Sex stories are like lega
actions-serious things. When the!
are converted into three act plays the
are really a bit of burden. So alon
came a speech and the audience coul
see Mr.. Hamilton peering around tn
proscenium arch as II to say:
Don't lose your patience now. ID
Just wait. Now this little girl is really
well, she is really-a hot baby. So d
DO patient"
And the spectators with all this ure
ing found 1t worth while to wait an
zee variation. of the bedroom faro
which was intense enough in its china
but scarcely extensive enough to

still be reposing there appeal to her
pseudo Oriental taste. 1t Is just this
sort of thing that has led State Legis-

the individual drinking cup. But in
the sweep OF inspiration Mr.. Ship

He Is just as careless OF these
prosaic considerations in First Is

Maxine Elliott's Theatre during the
early hours OF Wednesday evening. In
a remarkable scene of revelry and
canoodling In so-called fraternity
house at Columbia there is frequent
| recourse on the part of the mixed
| gathering to the punch or lemonade
or whatever may be the brew that sits
in a bowl on a table. A ladle modestly
!. protrudes over the side Of the bowl.
But no consideration of hygiene is
capable of staying the dramatic rush
of Mr.. Shipman's play. In other words
no character has time enough for the
ladle. Into the bowl every glass is
dropped to be withdrawn filled with
its stimulating contents. Thus does
art snap its fingers in the face Of
science which has been telling us for
years that one may contract all sorts
of unsavcry diseases in just this man.

and Thirtieth street, which
IL for two and a half years has
been closed, presenting a neglected and

strange contrast to its glory of other
days, Is not to come down after all.
Carstein & Lnnekin. Inc, have leased
the property for the Schieffelln estate

atre. Days Theatre is the most wide
iy known OF Americas landmarks of
the stage. Originally Banvard's Mu-

and Metropolitan Theatre, In which p.
T. Barnum was interested. 1t passed in
1879 into the hands of Augustin DAILY.
Here dawned the golden era of the
American stage. Every notable actor
Of the country appeared at Days
during the twenty years of his control
Of the house. Here was created almost
every American star Of the present
day except the very youngest. Ada
Rehan was one queen at Days.
Subsequently Augustin Daily estHh-

first American manager to invade Efu-

Mr.. Bradbury is an artistic as well ~
a laugh making triumph.
II was born and bred in the littla
village Of Hollis. Maine" Mr.. Brad
bury confessed, IAN ingrowing COM
munity Of several thousand men, wori-
en- and children who are said to rep
resent the prototypes Of every con-
ceivable 'rube' character ever seen on
Broadway or contingent stages. So,
YOU see, have had every occasion to
study these characters. at first hand.
Mr.. Bradbury claims that his the
atrical debut was purely accidental.
He had returned to Boston in 1882.
after experimenting as miner in
| Colorado and a bookkeeper in Gin
cinnati, to wind up the affairs of his
meagre estate in Hollis. Meeting one
of his boyhood cronies, he was told
| that the other was acting as super In
one of the current shows, and that
he felt sure that he could get Brad
: bury in. He did. 1t Is recorded that
Bradbury scored an immediate hit,
even in the lowly capacity of super.
Soon after that he played with Ed
| win Booth and somehow was unac-
countably funny in Shakespearean
serious stuff" Seeing this, shrewd
managers engaged him for comedy
parts in modern plays, and so it came
to pass that in the past thirty-five
years James Bradbury has scored
twenty distinct hits in New York,
not counting the many roles he played
on the road. For four years he sup
ported Nellie McHenry in "a Night at
1 H. -
with e. E Rice's "World Fair" had
an important part in Robert Emmett"
scored in '"The Village Postmaster,s
Naughty Anthony" Hearts Afiame.s
then came several seasons with Anna

There is a new variant in the rule
Of the saving grace of a sojourn in the
country. It used to be that no social
or economic evil could ever survive
a transfer from Piccadilly to green
fields. But after all. there Is DIFF
ference. 1t took Bolton and Middleton
in Adam and Eva" to prove 1t, but
there seems now to be distinction
between living on Long Island and
going to a New Jersey chicken farm.
The children OF the rich plunger were
$50 spoiled" as the negro nurse put 1t
tn her headstrong charge, that they
were rotten" Since they dwelt In the
country It wa. not evident how the
stage would ever be able to reform
them. But here is the difference ac-
cording to the gospel OF the authors.
Just take 'em over to New Jersey sfar
enough away from the fashionable in
fiuence OF Long Island and the trick
is done.
There are indeed singular man
| ners occasionally to be noticed even
| In this abode OF fashion on Long ISL
| and. Whether the locatJn be Rock
| vile Center or Syosset is not disclosed
It is the former that is most strongly
suggested in more than one instance
1t might be possible to settle the loca-
ton of the play by discovering where
on Long Island the head Of the house
so soon as he has returned from bust
ness in town sits in front Of the firt
and draws of his boots. He does MOI
sit in his socks-perish the thought
Loving hands have already placed b,

is to rest his weary feet.
Still more difficult to reconcile witt

Tor many years, and their friends
in thiC county are legion. Mrs.
Easterling was IS years Of age,
and is survived by her husband,
Col. w. B. Easterling, her son,
Chancellor Lamar Easterling, and
two daughters, Mrs. ]. L. Skinner,
of Jackson, and Mrs. H. H. Balm,
of Shreveport.
In the death of T. ]. Gates,
which occurred at his home at
Johns last week, Rankin county
loses one Of it's best and most
valuable citizens. Mr.. Gates was
lifelong resident of this county,
and was always on the side of
right and justice. In religious
affairs he was active, taking a
leading part in every movement
for the futherance Of the Masters
cause. He will be sadly missed,
not only in his immediate neigh
Dor hood, but all over the county.
He enjoyed the esteem and conf
dence of every one, and his de-
parture is mourned by all.
T. D. Jones , of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of this district, was
here Monday in the interest of the
Thrift campaign that will soon be
inaugurated over the country, and
especially in the public schools.
Later on every school in the
county will be visited by a
specialist who will explain in de-
tail the object Of the campaign,
and the manner in which it will
be conducted. The Americans
are the most extravaganza people
in the world, and the purpose of
the government is to teach thrift,
not only by buying thrift stamps,
but also by buying land and live
stock with the savings that our
citizens will be taught to make.
There will be nothing compul-
sorry about it, but after it is once
understood, there is no doubt but
what the plan will have the hearty
and cordial support Of every one.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEY BOTHERS.
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Bladder
troubles you.

No man or woman who eats
meat regularly can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys oc-
casionally, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they
become ovelworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Near
~ all rheumatism, headaches, liv-
er trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
.sleepessness and urinary disor-
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull
ache in the Kidneys or your back
hurts or if the urine is cloudy,
offensive, full Of sediment, irreg-
ular of passage or attended by
q sensation of scalding, stop eat
ing meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful
in q glass Of water before break
fast and In q few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutra-
lie the acids in urine SO It no
longer causes Irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and
cannot injure; makes q delight
full effervescent lithia-water
drink which everyone should take
now and then to keep the kid
neys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding ser
ious kidney compl ieations.

fashion, washed our clothes Ii
the shallow water along the shore
It was an interesting sight to see
hundreds Of men, from every walk
in life. lined up along the lakes
edge, and performing the work
Of the WasherWoman.
After week, we were moved
to an old monastery to make room
for the college students who were
already, arriving. The monastery
was built in 1866, and is yet in
good condition. In the center OF
the open court were the tombs Of
the man and woman who had
founded the monastery,-tombs
made more than century before
Columbus discovered America.
The village church nearly a
thousand years old, with it's gar
goyles, UNCOVERED walls, and
beautiful windows, had wonder
full fascination. Here was our first
opportunity to hear the chimes of
one of the old churches. Now we
realized why the French wept
when in the early days Of the war
their bells were taken and melted
for the metal.
We bought some more souvenirs
|
iers which might be purchased at
every door. We demonstrated that
we were part of souvenir
hunting" army, as the American
army was sometimes called.
We were constantly looking for
sweets, and as continually were
disappointed. We could buy a kind
of fig and nut bar at 9 cents per
cubic inch, called 'bon-bon" or
candy by the French. Our only
other means Of satisfying our de-
sire for sweets was the purchase
of sugar, made into very small
dominoes, at cost of about one
cent each. They called the penny
a sow (soo)
Their chief coins were, 5 cent
ines, pronounced sen teem)
worth cent; 10 confines, value
2 cents; rs centimes, 5 cents; SO
confines, 10 cents; franc 20 cents
and two francs, 40 cents. Twas
not hard to get accustomed to the
values. They used currency in
value from 10 cents up to thous-
ands of francs.
Our greatest disappointment
was in sanitary conditions. In the
smaller villages dirt and filth
were everywhere, and constant
rains made conditions much
worse. In many ways these peo-
pie are fifty or seventy five years
behind us. Some of the more no.
ticeable differences are: No wat
er in the homes; cooking done
over an open fire; only candles
for light at night; two-wheel
carts with heavy shaft-some-
times as much as four inches in
diameter; horses harnessed one
in front of another; brakes work
ed by revolving wheel instead Of
by lever; narrow gauge rail-
roads, and no airbrakes. France
has much to learn with America
as tutor.
For nearly two weeks we re-
manned in this village, awaiting
room in an American camp.
Next week | will tell you of our
stay in Camp de Meucon France.
