month ago today.

Shakespeare says, You can't turn
the wheel with tn water That IS past"
The modern age says, You can't excel
in fitness when you spend the hours
in idIeness." Dreams of the glory thar
is to be are largely dreams still long
after the Gays are past that should
have witnessed the crowning. But life
Is more than dreams. Most folks have
learned to their sorrow that it is "a
rather stern reality. II promises much,
but it's always conditional. 1t teaches
men that in the using of what they
have they become the heroes of the
days that are TO be. It's tire filing Of
present hours that brings the full hours
Of the future. It's folly tc mourn the
past. It's all made in the present and
today passes 50 swiftly into tomorrow
that we scarcely realize how swiftly
go the speeding hours.

1t over and over aloud, testing the
matter of emphasis or stress upon

should be and the proper an cunt TO

John Golden is sending the origina!
production that held the stage at the
Gaiety Theatre, New York, for a solid
year. Had visitor to the Gaiety
placed q secret marking on any OF
the scenery used for the elaborate
peach orchard or other settings the
night the play began its phenomenal
Broadway run he would find it on the,
equipment to be employed at the local
playhouse.
The experiment of Mr.. Golden in
holding the Broadway production in
tact for a road tour is being watched
by other producers with considerable
interest. 1t has always been a mat
ter of dispute as to whether jewellers
in the smaller cities are as quick to
give their support and praise to really
worthwhile offerings as they are to
condemn the mo. 2" companies. The
producers of Turn to the Right"
steadfastly declined to send out any
duplicate companies last season to
reap the harvest that unquestionably
awaited the greatest comedy hit Of
the year in all parts of the country,
believing that the public would find
greater satisfaction in waiting little
longer and seeing the original COM
pdny. Inc only company on TOUR 10
be seen here includes William Foran,
Charles D. Goodrich, Mike DOnlin, the
former baseball star, and other artists
who have appeared 1000 times in the
principal roles.

dual personality" said Dr. Weis-

good and the other evil, strive to
maintain control of ones brain. In
most people, will power is sufficiently
developed to Danish all evil thoughts
as soon as they are suggested. Oc-
casionally, the evil secures the upper
hand, and the resulting actions are
bad. Thus we have two distinct per-
sonalities battling for supremacy"
'1n some extreme cases the evil
personality can only make itself evil
dent and exert it's influence where the
will power is dormant. That is when
the victim is sleeping. Then, usually,
sonambulistically, the sleeper is trans
formed into person filled with evil
passions. Persons troubled with sleep
walking have dual personality to a
slight extent. Normally they would
not leave the bed in the dead of night
to prowl about and they do $50 only
because their will power is not suf-

In "The Poison Pen," the heroine is
transformed into a vicious woman,
whose greatest pleasure consists of
writing anonymous threatening let

which exerts it's power when she is

The terrific struggle between the
good and evil forces in her make a
