SPANISH PLAY GIVEN
BY THEATRE GUILD
"The Bonds Of interest" by
Benavente, Proves Mostly
Fantastic Farce.

The Theatre Guild, which 10 the latest
Of the semi-amateur societies that bring
to the local stage 30 much that is novel
and interesting. began its ministrations
last night in the congenial surroundings
that marked the sojourn Of jacques Co
peau at the Garrick Theatre. The new
society acted a play from the Spanish
Of Jacinto Benavente. who Is said to be
one OF the most admired playwrights OF
Spain to-day.
Explorers in the theatre of Europe
have recently been turning their atten-
ton to the Spanish stage. The Scan
dinavian waters must have been fished
out. or, at all events. there Ia nothing
there to be found 30 DUH as those al
ready imported. 50 the Spanish theatre
impends. 1t Ia to be hoped for the fu-
ture enjoyment OF New York audiences
that The Bonds Of Interest" is not
one Of the most important specimens
Of the new school.
Tho three acts OF the play are de-
voted to species OF fantastic farce with
such figures OF the italian commedia
deIPArfe as Harlequin, CoItIn bine and
Punch In the dramatis persona.
TWO adventurers arrive in an iimag-
mary town. They are penniless, but
the pretentions of one who poses .as a
servant bring the two temporary pros
perity. 1t Is the love Of his master for
the daughter of rich man that finally
adds happy ending to their romance.
Then all his creditors and those who
were imposed on by the twain are sat-
ished. There are explanations. more or
less satirical. that such is iife but the
philosophy Of The Bonds Of Interest,"
will not carry II far
When little Jack Horner pulled the
plum out OF his pie he thought he
really was a smart boy. But there had
been plums IN pies before he was born.
The ethical proclamations that illumi-
nate the text OF Benavente's play may
have made him just as proud as little
Jack was on that memorable Christmas
But they sounded last night rather
banal.
Pictorially the production was a de-
light to the eye. Helen Wesley might
have stepped from a canvas of Veias-
quez. The formal stiffness of the other
ball gowns added picturesqueness to the
second act and at times the color was
interesting. Aueustin Duncan read with
Intelligence the long role OF Crispin, to
whom falls most OF the text and the
criticisms OF life. Amelia Summerville
and Kate Morgan added note Of needed
professional certainty to the representa-.
ton.
The production Is an agreeable con-
trast to the usual theatre Offering, al
though II cannot be said to create an
omniverous appetite for the Spanish
drama.

DEAR FOLKS:

oSAN$o I'VE, ~tkiSi oiiu ny w
qualify under the banner
PURITY"
The occasion calls for seri-
Gus thought as regards our
conduct in both our busi-
ness and private affairs.
I think we all realize now
that Business is not exempt
from the Moral Code.
1t has to carry the banner
of PURITY" if it is to get
anywhere in public esteem.
I wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that this
word PURITY" consists
of six letters and fits in
with the Cycle of Six which
plays so big a part In the VIII
son & Co. business.
But I want to tell you also that
while all of the other things
that enter into the Cycle of Six
are important, not one of them
has the place in the Real Heart
of the Wilson & Co. organiza-
ton that the word PURITY"
has. The officials and the $4,000
workers are all impressed with
the Importance of PURITY
in food production.
Producing PURE FOODS Is
the business of Wilson & Co.,
and officials and workers real
ize that there is no closer rela-
tionship in all the world be-
tween any form of business and
the people than that of dis
pensing PURE FOOD. ..
The Wilson & Co. organization
has fitted itself to produce
PURE FOODS by establishing
within itself those relations be.
tween officials and workers that
are necessary to bring about
absolute confidence In one an
other and so work on the big
principle of giving one another as
we'll as the public a SQUARE
DEAL, which. to my notion, is one
of the highest forms of PURITY"
Does not this spirit influence their
thoughts and actions, and does il
not make them put Honor In their
work?
PURITY" in foods Is essential,
just as PURITY" in all else that
makes life useful. helpful, clean and
unselfish is necessary.
Shall we unite during this week our
PURE FOOD THOUGHTS with
our other thoughts. eliminating
Sunday morning next with a fine
breakfast of ham and eggs or bacon
and eggsp
1t is one of the traditions of Easter
Sunday--as old as the hills-that we
shall observe the day, SO far as our
physical needs are concerned, by
stufhng ourselves with eggs anyway
but starting the day always with
a slice of fine ham or slivers Of
bacon.
Don't you remember as boys and
girls, back on the farm, how you
hunted hens nests long before Eas-
ter and gathered great numbers of
eggs for that dayl
Most of you are so situated now
that you can't gather eggs as in tho
old days.
YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM.
Wouldn't you like to be SURE that
you could buy as good eggs as you
used to find in the hens nest?
Let me tell you that you can buy
such eggs. Go to your dealer this
week and ask for CLEARBROOK
EGGS, sold by Wilson & Co. under
the slogan THE WILSON
PROTECTS YOUR
TABLE"
They will measure up to your ex-
pectations as to what Easter egga
should be.
Then ask the same dealer to let you
have some of the Wilson & Co.
CERTIFIED HAM AND BACON
recently introduced through deal
ers in all sections of the country.
If you want good COFFEE ask
yoYr dealer m siIpDly YOU with Will.
