Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after a
meal. Sour risings, gassiness, a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspep-
STA are usually only temporary. And
yet they may lead to serious disor-
der. The regular use Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals re-
fleets to . high degree the intelli-
gent selection Of preventative meas

One cannot always select or in
spect the quality Of food to be
eaten nor its method or manner Of
preparation. But it Is possible to
avoid the acidity that is 80 often

Theater in New York Is
Far Ahead of London and
Paris, Says Edgar Selwyn

London--Mary Nash, Edith Day and
Peggy O'Neill. And England is looking
to America to supply more plays. Wed
ding Bells might add, is going to open
the London Playhouse August 80, with
Gladys Cooper in the part created by
Margaret Lawrence in the New York
production.
an Paris, conditions are more nearly
normal" Mr.. Selwyn says. ut is vir-
tualy the gay Paris of old-wide open
Paris Theaters and cafes are doing
large business and night life is pretty
much the same as before the war. The
aters are more prosperous than in Lon
don, which is six years behind the times.
There is an excellent revue at Follies
Bergere, really the best I have ever
seen.
ain the amusement field, America has
gone far ahead Of Europe. With the
exception perhaps Of the Follies Bergere,
New York is far in advance of anything
that either London or Paris have to
show. That is because we have gone
steadily ahead with nothing like the
economic membranes of Europe"

Scottish nature, but it shows an equally
clear and humorous sense of character
And the qualities that make for its
success are precisely those the signiti-
canoe OF which is apt to escape the
literary playwright. Mr.. Moffat is an
actor as we'll as author, and knows by
experience the enormous value of GEES
ture, voice and situation in giving vari-
strains after no epigrammatic express
sion, but his comedy is full Of subtle
touches and possesses also a certain
quality of pawkiness which carries
the interest unfaggingly. He also has
a shrewd appreciation of the COLO
qual touch, reflected even in the title,
which whets curiosity. Don't Tell is
Scottish with Glasgow atmosphere
and a pronouncedly Glasgow speech,
the truer in that it derives from
Bridgeton and not from Kelvinside
The comedy opens brightly in the fiat
OF an aspiring plumber who has just
been elevated to the magistracy. Fol-
lowing upon reception from his
proud household there is a rehearsal
of police court scene, by way OF pre-
pairing the worthy baillie for his ex-
allied judicial functions. And in the
mock trial his elder daughter is re-
vealed as sutfragist who has already
received summons TO appear in court
on a charge of obstructing the police
Piquancy is added to the situation by
the fact that hers Is one of the cases
that falls to be tried by the new mag
istrate. But the rebellious daughter
does not provide all the comedy Mr..
Moffat pulls, and always dexterously,
many strings

all the paraphernal.a Of the theater
behind them than for two on a concert
platform. the sole furniture of which
consists Of a chair, table and tumbler
Of water.
My first play was written long be-
fore + had developed ideas at all in
regard to the Scottish stage. 1t was
called The Fifth Act was then q
member of the Glasgow Junior Ora
matte Club, which produced it. On the
first night of the great event we found
we had forgotten to get policeman's
costume. However, a brilliant idea
struck me. Calling policeman, we
got him into the dressing room, pre-
sumably to deal with a case We ex-
planned our predicament to him, but
he was an unsympathetc bobby and
called us 'impudent tevils' when we
suggested that he might undress and
oblige us with his uniform for a short
time.
ION this question Of Scottish plays
| feel strongly, and look forward to
seeing the esta blishment of a theater
for the encouragement of such produc-
tions. Certainly. believe to play Scot
tish pieces successfully we must have
out-and.out Scottish actors who have
not lost the traditions and the accent
of the homeland"
Concerning Mr.. Moffat's newest play,
Don't Tell" in which he will make
his debut as a player in this country,
The Glasgow Herald" says:
"Mr. Graham Motfat has again sue
cessfully pulled the strings Don't
Tell while by no means a variation of
the 'Bunty' theme, is in the 'Bunty'
vein. 1t does not probe so deeply into
