is done by John McFarline as the rich

The applause winner Of the bill Is

After he curtain went up on the Suratt

lower the curtain and allow Henlere to
make curtain talk. Henlere does not

Mr. Blackner and the capable players
that surround them.
No more delightful and winsome per-
sonality than the romantic Elsie, as
Miss Gallienne plays her, has been
gIimpsed over the footlights this season.
You laugh with her and atsher, want to
shake her at times. too, and then rather
envy Billy when he uses her romantic
nature as an excuse TO pay her that
rather doubtful compliment on the stoop,
only TO make Il up the next minute with
the promise of the stationary bath tub.

Murat all this week. It is decidedly
worth while.
MARIMBA BAND RAGS
TO AUDIENCES DELIGHT.
The Rag-O- Marimba band is having
things its own sweet way at the Lyric
this week and the applause on the after
noon the show was reviewed was still
in progress when the next act began.
These five players know how to pound
out the melody ON the marimbaphone
and the players offer variety Of num-
bers. 1t seems to me that these peo-
pie should be more willing to give en-
cores. especially when an audience hon
estly clamors for more. 1t is a wise
player who knows when to answer ap-
plause and the reception these players
received on the afternoon that I was
present would make happy the heart
Of any player. But they failed to make
the best Of II.
The feature act is the AL Golem Troupe
who appear IN AN oriental set for the
purpose of doing a clever rope stunt,
some flip fops and a fine pole balancing
number. The act is nicely dressed and
makes a good fash.
Rowland, Erwin and Erwin have a
change OF pretty costumes for each song
number they present. Their act has the
needed class to put them In the list of
favorites.
The remainder of the bill includes Bert
and Bctey Ross; the S9ltos; Bobby and
Earle in "Oh, Doctor" and Lorraine and
Herman.

setting is similar to that used In The

Moore and Eddie Fields in blackface are

action to the Pullman scenes.
This show, like others of It's class, LACKS
singing voices and the chorus is not up
to the mark in the dance numbers In the
first act. The comedy element OF this
show is its biggest asset and the chorus
Is used TO ali up the waits while Reed

BUILDING COSTS WILL NOT FALL

"In our opinion the general build
ing situation throughout the nation
is such as to lend encouragement to
those who contemplate building at
this time. We must have factory
buildings and office structures 70 the
business industries of the country.
We must have hotels for those who
travel. we must have apartments and
houses for everybody
"The general supply of buildings in
this country is far below the demand.
Material is scarce, transportation ia
cilities are crippled, and we are short
on labor. With these conditions it
would seems illogical to look for any
recession in prices. The building
situation will, of course. reach a
place of stabilization sometime. but
this will not mean that costs will hold
their own"
This is the advise of s. w. Straus
& Co. who have made study of the
situation and is going ahead with
large building operations in New
York City where construction costs
are much heavier than in the west.

UNFORTUNATE METROPOLIS

The Census Bureau reports that
New York City has 5,621.000 inhabi-
tants. Within the metropolitan dis
trict. which has a ten-mile radius.
there are nearly 100000 people.
New York's claim to being the
largest city in the world may there
fore be allowed without question. New
York will doubtless rejoice and brag
about it accordingly and some citi
zens Of some other cities may be SO
short-sighted as to envy New York
this numerical eminence. But from
really rational point of view, New
York is the most unfortunate of
cities. Such vast population is liter
ally a great misfortune.
New York is so big that there is not
room in the streets for its people or
room anywhere else for that matter
Automobiles can scarcely get through
and pedestrians are always in each
others way. Trolley cars and eleyat-
ed and subway trains are always
crowded. Rent and food are always
high and fresh food is almost impos-
sible to get. Taxes are always high.
though citizens never get full value
for them improvements and con-
veniences never catch up with the
city's needs. Problems of distribu-
tion are enormously difficult. So
complicated are transportation and
other agencies that minister to the
daily life of, the metropolis that at
any time strike. big snowfall or
|any other unforeseen occurance may
throw the whole system into confu-
sion and endanger the comfort,
health or life of millions
There they move about. jostling
|squirming, and for the most part try
ing to ignore each other, and snarl-
ing when they bump into each other,
and taking an absured pride in being
inconspicuous denizens OF that vast
ant-hill.
AS a matter of fact. the resident of
almost any city with one-tenth or
of the population, If it
has not grown for necessary improve
ments. is far better off in all the
fundamental satisfactions of life

YOUTH

Youth is not the time of life: it is a
state of mind 1t is not matter of
ripe cheeks. red lips. and supple
knees it is temper Of the will. a
quality of imagination. q vigor OF the
emotions. It is the freshness of the
deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental pre-
dominence of courage over timfdity.
of the appetite for adventure over the
love OF ease. This often exists in a
man of fifty more than in a boy OF
twenty.
Nobody grows old by merely living
a number of years. People grow old
only by deserting their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin: but to give
up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self lf-interest, fear and
despair-these are long, long years
that bow the heart and turn the
greening spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is
in every human beings heart the lure
of wonder. the sweet amazement at
the stars and at star-like thingh and
thoughts, the undaunted challenge of
events. the unfailing. child-like ap-
petite for what next. and the joy Of
the game of living. You are as young
as your faith. as old as your doubt;
as young as your sef-confidence. as
old as your fear; as young as your
hope. as old as your despair.
In the central place of your heart
is an evergreen tree; its name is
Love. So long as it f1ourishes you are
young. When it dies you are old. In
the central place Of your heart is a
wireless station. So long as it re-
ceives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, granduer, courage and power
from God and from your fellow men,
so long are you young g-(Bullekin OF

THE OLD GLORY OF OUR NATION

Fortunately no single individual
holds in his hands the destiny of a
free people. While politicians of
various vintage may rant and spell
binders declaim the virtues Of this
policy or that measure. the home peo-
pie Of America are supreme. Only
fools talk about the country being
run by any group be it Industrial or
capitalistic. No dozen men in the
United States own enough to have
prestage sufficient to control even o
nomination for high office, let alone
elect one.
The glory of America does not lie
in its politics or in either political
party. but in the millions of home
loving, happy men and women. who
with children about their knees. are
content to toll and love and hope.
There is no better way in which to
say what is in mind than to quote the
following from the pen of H. B. Whip
pie. when he speaks of the glory OF a
nation:
"The true glory ofsa nation is in the
living temple Of loyal. Industrious
and upright people. The busy clerk
of machinery. the merry ring of the
anvil, the lowing of peaceful herds
and the song of the harvest-home are
sweeter music than the paens Of de-
parted glory or songs of triumph in
war. The vine clad cottage of the
hillside. the cabin of the woodsman
and the rural home of the farmer. are
true citade Is of any country. There
is a dignity in honest toll which be-
longs to the display of wealth or the
luxury sof fashion. The man who
drives the plow or swings his axe in
the fore st or with cunning fingers
plies the tools of his craft. is as truly
the ser want of his country as the
statesman in the senate or the SOL
der iTl battle. e."-Messenger.
