''Ti.h" 1t The Cre.eo March 23rd.

Lovers of real comedy excellently
staged and played. have 9 treat in store
for their amusement on March 23rd,
when Augustus Pitou Inc. will present
for the first time in this city, the well
known and popular Coincidence, May
Robson, in Edward E. Roses dramatic
cation of Mary Roberts Rinehart's fa-
nous Saturday Evening Post stories Of
'Tish', which come direct from q
three months successful run at Powers
Theatre in Chicago, and will be given
here with the original cast and produc-
ton.
"Tish' as portrayed by Miss Robson
is character that is irresistibly funny
and when she gets into full swing with
the other two old maids around whom
the action Of the play centers, she is
simply laughter provoking marvel.
In the making of the stage version
of this famous fiction, Mr.. Rose is said
to have eclipsed even his two previous
dramatizations, "Penrod'' and "Cappy
Ricks", and was surely fortunate-in
having his play fall into the hands of
so excellent an artistic as Miss Robson,
In theme, "Tish" is maiden lady
whose life is constant search for ad.
venture, no one seeming to know what
she will do or where she will turn up
next, who delights in running ninety
horse power motor boat up and down
the lake at the summer resort where
the action of the play takes place, in
frustrating the plans of the town graf
ter, or of turning the tables on couple
of gossipy old maids who are always
prying into other peoples affairs. = -,
1t is a new type of spinster ckaracte r
and.Miss Robson is of the opinion,
the best she has ever essayed.
1t can be said with all due Difference
to veracity, this opinion 10 also voiced
by the press and public of every city
whers the play has been seen.

New Ideas in Adding Machine.

At least TWO novel features are en-

adding machine described in the Popu-

safety with which ii may be taken
apart, in spite of its complex nature,
a pair of pliers and a penknife being
the only tools necessary. The opera

make the same one twice. He prom.
ised full cooperation to all sections and
in all problems. Calling attention to
the fact that there was no more rich
farm regions to develop he declared
that agriculture was entering a new
period where greater stability Of farm
ing as a business was demanded and
must be fostered. ....
Among the problems that will receive
immediate attention are the simplified
methods in making income tax returns,
wool pooling, protection of farm pro.
ducts from foreign competition, collect
i've bargaining, and an international
conference on production.
