Harry T. Morey. famed for his
portrayal of rugged. mans man"
roles in various Vitagraph produc-

ooh, BY Jingo," a Latour produc-
tion coming to the Majestic Satur-
day.. August z, matinee and night,
promises to be n of the real big
musical comedies of the year, ac-
cording to those who have read the
advance notices and witnessed the
performance in other cities. While
1t has always been the policy of Mr..
.Latour to refrain from praising a
show produced by his organization,
he was forced to depart from this
policy and declare "Oh, By lingo"
to be the finest production he had
witnessed in his long caree as a pro-
Queer. The comedy has been turned
over to Lew Rose, who heads the
cast and while he is prominently
known on the stage, is a newcomer
on the X. & z. time. Babe Latour
appears in the leading feminine
role. A company of capable players
have been selected by Mr.. Latour
among them are Alex Saunders, Mar
jorie Abbot, Joe West, Florence Mas
colt and Bernie Clark. Special seem
cry, brilliant electrical effects. stun
ming costumes, and then add to all
this twenty beautiful girls, who are
singers and dancers and "Oh. BY
lingo" should not soon be forgotten.

Early Booksellers.

The first booksellers catalogue In
the English language, so far as. is
known, is one bearing a date of 1928
years ago. IT. was. issued by Andrew
Haunsoll of Lothbury, England and
contains an elaborate dedication to
Queen Elizabeth. The first booksellers
in England were migratory. peddlers,
who carried their small stock on their
backs. and thus may, more properly
be called pioneer book agents.
In the course of time some of the
more prosperous hawkers Of literature
set up small stalls or booths and thus
became known as t''statieners:" This
is thesorigin of the word stationer. now
generally applied to dealers in "sta-
tionery," which hasscome to mean writ
ing materials, paper. pens, ink and
similar articles. Booksellers in Eng
land were for centuries treated as
near-criminals andS.subjected to many
restrictions, which were not wholly
removed until 1853. The booksellers
of both England and America now have
powerful associations, the former dat.
ing from 1929.

Well, for our own part we are glad
hat Americans are lacking in the

that the menfof our race and country

The perfumer who is making the

there is this, difference-that the man

who wears bright and ,clashing colors

to use our smelling faculties.
