The Raid on Davy Jones

From The Nations Business.
 Any hunt beneath the sea is a hun< for treasure, whether it be a gold- ballasted Spanish galleon that sunk in ancient days, or a coal-laden barge that sunk in a last winters storm in Long Island Sound. It is something more than an interesting commercial possibility. It has in it tang of TO- nance And the pull of the idea may be seen from the avidity with which the whole public reads every new yarn about the latest project for raising some treasure ship that sunk centuries ago with fabulous wealth on board, Only few hundred feet down. So rear that man can all but see her Yes--but you can't smash Davy Jones' Locker as a thief breaks a plate- glass v indow-not unless you crystalline the sea by changing the climate.
 Professional salvage men generally laugh at all dreams of practicable operations at great depths, particu larly in the open sea. Vastly inn rroved methods, they will tell you, may sometimes make 300 feet prac- ticable depth; but anything beyond that is as inaccessible as the moon- It is a waste of paper. ink, and breath to talk about it.

 Continuing, Amy Leslie says:
 i Richard Care is as much para grapher and satirist as Will Rogers and
 he is a lightning inventor of light jests
 and cartoons. When he works he keeps happy about it, speeds as if under whip and spur and always wants a compan- 1 ionable listener to hear what he writes | in flashlights. Generally, he captures eye audience. He will insist on Mrs.
 Carle being at hand that he may read aloud every line and scene he writes and she smilingly consents to the am- fable judge. Usually she comments every | line Dick writes. Sometimes she hcsi- tatingly condemns it and suggests some thing better. She does not pretend 10 know anything about dialogue. but does
 her criticisms on fly or by instinct, and often Dick approves and formally thanks her as if she were hired by the hour. That we have a comedian of these various gifts and possibilities is remark able these days of constructive art. 1 George M Cehan is about the only other star who has the qualities of industry
 and genius, which made Carle so unique
 and valuable. Like Conan. MT. Carrie has always provided the best in all mu- sical comedies with which he has been identified. though he seldom has banners
 l,s {o is a rare soul of idiosyncrasies, ingen-
 ious and difficult, but rare soul never
 theless, and his popularity has been ac- qured by less hippodrome and adver- ! tisement, less self-thrusting and crowd- ing and crowding out his fellow actors than any comedian before the public" To correct general impression that Richard Carle, the noted comedian, is an Englishman, may it be known that he was born in Summerville, Mass, and comes from an old line American family. His early stage life was with the Boston
 Cadets, an organization which can boast
 of turning out Dan Daily, Raymond
 Hitchcock, Hap Ward, Julian Eltinge
 and numerous other stars. MT. Carle
 lives at Long Branch. N. J., and his home is one of the show places of the Jersey coast. During one of the liberty loan drives, Mir. Carle sold over sloo,Ooo worth of bonds one evening between the acts of his performance in Sunshine.
 Unlike many stars. Richard Carle

 himself with such well-known players

C|GARET TIES For Your Health

Cigarettes are now being made without either tobacco or cubebs. They contain fragrant and soothing medicinal herbs which smoke per fectly. This medicated vapor is inhaled; then exhaled through lips or nose, with real contentment.
 Not only does the smoker have more pleasure but there is valuable remedial benefit. First, let it be known that these cigarettes are an aid in warding of influenza and colds Second, they are purposed to give relief in throat irritations, hoarseness, catarrh of the head or throat and in stopping those roar ings, buzzings, or other head noises, and in reducing deafness of which colds and catarrh are the cause. Do not confuse these with the cubeb or other similar cigarettes. No nicotine nothing habit-forming. No nerv- ousness. Cost no more than other good quality cigarettes and at same time you have health-beneGting, harmless, delightful smoke.
 At the drug store ask for Dr. Blosser's Cigarettes. Or you may buy it in pipe mixture or for burning on holder (which many women pre- fer); but the main thing is to get box now and enjoy delightful sur prise. If you desire a trial package, send 10 cents (silver or stamps) to the Blosser Company, sB-11, Atlanta, Ga.

his bevyg of pretty chorus girls will be cordially received goes without saying
 Richard Carle has not visited Birming- ham for quite a number of years and his tall, elongated amusing figure. his funny facial expressions and droll mannerisms, will again tickle the risibIes of the tired business man, the blase society woman and the fluffy debutante.
 One of my favorite critics, Amy Leslie of the Chicago Daily News, and one of the brightest, cleverest newspaper women in America today, said of Richard Carle during q recent prolonged engagement of Sunshine, which he played in the Windy City the following:
 Somebody thoughtfully printed a warn- Who's Here Richard Carle!' The town is full of 1ikable comedians all putting their best efforts into the loop for fine entertainment. But to have Richard Carle means a visit from one of the most char acterstic humorsts of America. In Sun shine" MT Carle freezes through airily with a capital song of his own and a delightful departure from the original libretto He has perpetual youth, gen. tie decency of department and a grace which are assurance of polite entertain- ment. The late Dan Daly was Carles youthful model and he has much of that eccentric comedians earlier style and force. Here is a man of manifold talents. He has a genius for impromptu, ready wit and keen appreciation of humor, color schemes and situations. Never by any ac- cident or necessity does Richard Carle copy other actors or hbrettsts. He has neat and scholarly phrase and a good natured Americanism which together produce unique dialogue. His Richard skinner in Sunshine is by far the big gest hit of his life

 It is tribute of great merit to the management of the Jefferson theatre that their taste and discrimination in the se- lection of plays has been so thoroughly approved by the varied audiences which have patronized the theatre this season, and it is stimulus to them to continue to bring these excellent attractions, know ing that they are appreciated.
 Such plays as "The Better Ole, ,' with DeWolh Hopper; "Machusla,' with Chauncey Olcott; "Gloriana," with Fritzi Schen; rThe Dolly Sisters the various minstrel organizations, The Isadora Duncan Dancers" Edna Goodrich, the various new comedies such as 'Tea for Three" and the modern Broadway offer ings and Guy Bates Post in "The Mas querader '-are sufficient, if nothing else had been offered
