Denies Dress
Makes Woman

Doris Rankin will play here at
the Shubert-Garrick next week
when John d. williams presents
Lionel Barrymore in The Letter
Of the Law the magnificent drama
by the great French writer Eugene
Brieu. Miss Rankin is the daugh-
ter of Mckee Rankin one of the
best known players OF an elder
day and she has had long train
ing in classical roles.
Clothes do not make the woman
any more than they make the
man." said Miss Rankin recently
in discu ussing her part in rThe Let
ter of the Law" lit is the spirit
that is in the heart of the woman
which counts. And the biggest.
finest expression of that spirit is
always found in motherhood.
Brieux knows how to draw his wo-
men. Whether they be peasants or
aristocrats they always ring true.
In the case of Yanetta he has
drawn a woman OF the people. Oh.
yes. l enjoy playing such charac-
ters because they are so unlike
anything which has ever been in
my lie ana II seems something
really created when one plays
them.
"In Yanetta we have the woman
at her best. Her love and devotion
to her children and her husband
have found full expression. She
has expiated the girlhood mistake
and thinks 1t is something which
can never touch her again. Then
comes the horrible tragedy to at
tack her husband. Her instinct of
motherhood rises to defend him
and to make the prosecutor believe
in his innocence.
"Yanetta is very real, very true
the mother brought to bay and
fighting for her greatest treasure.
1t is a great part and l hope that
am able to give it full express
sion."

ALL RECEIVE SOME BENEFIT
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads Of the great pro
ducing zones of this country are i'm
proved. benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing Is distributed throughout
the year. storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on fo0dstuffs. The dis
advantages OF freight congestion in the
fall cannot he entirely eliminated in
many places. but good roads will GER
tainly have a marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
II Is reasonable to say, therefore,
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged. the area
OF profitable production increased. the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform distribu-
ton Of farm products secured.
