New Lyric.

"PolIyanna," In comedy form, as de-
vised by Catherine Chisholm Gushing
from the famous stories of Eleanor H.
Porter reaches the stage of the Lyric
on Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee. Klaw & Erlanger
and George G. Tyler bring it with an
exceptionally able cast. It combines vi
ola Harper as Pollyanna, who grows up
In the play from the child of twelve
into the maid Of seventeen, and other
players of fine achievement, including
George Allison, Garland Gaden, Alice
Baxter, Katherine Rober, Helen Quincy,
Gertrude Rivers, Fanny D. Hall, A. w.
MacCollin, William Blaisdell, Chas. s..
Turner, Harold Macarthur and others.
The keynote of comedy Is optimism
1.-The bright outlook upon life-the
spreading broadcast of good cheer and
happiness. And 1t is a love storyAwith-
out any morbid sex problem. 1t Is de-
scribed as a sunny play that re~freshes
the tired business man and does not
make him i'll at ease if accompanied by
his wife, sister, daughter or sweetheart.
It Is significant that half a million cop
les of the "Pollyahna" stories have been
sold and the trade estimate is that
every book averages 10 readers, the
equivalent of a five million circulation.

One Of the most pronounced hits OF

tion of the act predicted is being made

derful prestidigitators at the Orpheum
this week. who recently arrived for their
first American tour. In New York. Bos-

profound sensation, admittedly the last
word In mystery performances.
Servias lie Roy has for many years
been conceded the greatest Fof all the
worlds magicians. This is a broad
statement. considering the other very
remarkable magicians Of America as
well IS Europe, but no one in touch
claim. lie Roy is a Belgian by birth
and as a little boy he did the most
amazing feats Of mystery, increasing in
skill as he gained In years.
He never did the tricks that other
people did, but invented tricks Of his
own and Of course he soon began to be
the talk Of his own country and others
as well. When the Belgium-Cong ex-
petition was formed by the late KinS
Leopold, Cervias lie Roy was an i'm
portant part Of II. His almost uncanny
feats of Illusions were startling to the
natives of the Congo and it was admit
ted that he accomplished more with
them than the military corps was able
to do.
Upon his return from this memorable
trip the king decorated lie Roy. Then
1t was that his fame reached earth's
borders. Theater managers from all
over Europe and America journey to
Belgium to induce him to accept en-
gagements and he finally made an ex-
tended tour of Europe, remaining one
whole year in London and three years
tour of other cities of England.
Then he retired from the public life

UNIQUE DEPARTURE

When you so to the news stand this week to purchase your
copy OF the Literary Digest you will receive the most unique and
the most original publication that has been issued since the art
OF printing was invented, A telegram from the editor of the
Literary Digest to the editor OF The News Scimitar SAYS:
You have no doubt received Associated Press report Of Literary
alleged vacation or irregular strike. Our plates are made by photo.
engraving typewriter copy pasted up in page form. DO you think
editorial comment might be timely on the boomerang attempt of work
ers TO stop publication which results in devisng a process that makes
hem supertluousH We are issuing nearly a million copies of an so
page magazine on our regular schedule.
This is the first radica departure from the fundamental prin-
HcipNs OF printing since it came into use. There have been many
changes in the styles of type as we'll as in the methods of setting
type. Irrespective of the improvement in presses or the change
in the manner OF setting type-whether it be by hand or ma
chine-no one before has ever thought it possible to print a paper
or magazine without type.
Some inventions are inspired by a desire to save time; some
TO promote efficiency, and others are provoked by necessity. In
this case the ancient platitude that necessity is the mother Of
invention was proven, as it has been in so many instances.
After all it may have been a fortunate circumstance that in
tspmed the printers to strike over the protest of their organization.
There is no apparent reason why this new departure should not
be successful for the large weekly and monthly publications and
quite as economical.
The moral to be drawn from i t is that when a set of men in
any craft, trade or business assume that they have a monopoly
4 on the skill or brains required to produce a certain thing, some
body usually comes along with an invention to dispense with
their services.
