HIRING LINE
CLEVER COMEDY
Getting Servants and Keeping
Them Is Theme of the
New Comedy

How to get servants-and keep
gether delightful satirical comedy
which played at the Orpheum last
night. Moved from it's New York
playhouse to make room for an
other play, THE Hiring Line" is on
the road" for just one week, and is
headed straight for Broadway, where
it will continue it's interrupted run.
Laura Hope Crews and Cyril Scott,
supported by an admirable cast, pre-
sented their new play to good
house. The story of the play con-
Germs the inability of suburbanites
to keep servants, although the wife
of the man trying to keep them
doesn't want them to stay because
she wants to get back to New York
to live. But Mr.. Man takes matters
in his own hands and trys to run
his house on the same basis as he
does his business, so he hires two
detectives as cook and butler. The
plan seemed to be all right, and it
was until the detectives came to
work and things began to happen.
Suspicion pointed a guilty finger to
everyone in the place-all kinds of
old innocent things came to light
TO muddle ana compllcate. But IN
the end all worked itself out hap
PLY; two couples were reunited and
another married; two detectives out
of jobs because their professional
pride would not permit of their go
ing back to the office to be guyed
about what they had slipped over
on them, so they took places as cook
and butler again. The show was a
perfectly delightful one, cleverly
thought out and just as cleverly pre-
sented. The pity was that a larger
house did not see it.

EDISON JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES

Many citizens of Edison were in
attendance at the annual Christmas
story matinee held in the auditor
ium of the Edison building at ESQ
this afternoon. This is one OF the
first outside performances to be held
in this auditorium.
The building is slowly nearing
completion. The announcement was
made to-day that the gymnasium
will be ready for the use of the
school the early part of next week.
The lack of the gymnasium has not
only prevented the basketball team
from getting under way but has pre-
vented the classes in physical train
ing from meeting for the past sew
eral weeks. 1t is probable that the
call will be given for the candidates
for both the boys and the girls bas-
ketball teams about the middle OF
the coming week.
The Christmas seal drive is being
speeded up so that the seals in the
hands of the students may be dis
posed of before the drive closes.
While no definite figures were avail
able to-day of the amount of sales
in the school some rooms have
passed the ten thousand mark. Mr..
Davis who is handling the work for
the office is making every effort to
make a good record for the school.
The greater part of the activities
period this afternoon was spent lis
tening to Mr.. Dahlwani lecture on
Indian customs.
Section Obi should also be placed
on the roll of the sections who have
registered one hundred per cent. in
the school banking system. Several
changes in the personnel of the of
ficers of this section have taken place
the past week. Margaretta Wohl-
farth has been elected watch your
speech critic; Marvin Peck resigned
the office of Edison patrol and Nc
Lain King was elected to fill the
place thus made vacant. This sec
tion intends to have a basketball
team and have elected Christie Blu
menstine manager of the boys team
and Evelyn Hall the manager of the
team for the girls.
