KIT HE whole basis of nationa
progress, of an increased
standard of living, of bet
ter human relations, indeed of the
advancement of civilization, depends
on the continuous Improvement in
productivity" said Herbert Hoover,
in a recent address at Syracuse.
And Mr.. Hoover goes on to say
"The absorption of increased pro-
ductivity lies in the conversion Of
luxuries of today into necessities Of
tomorrow, and to spread those
through the whole population by
stimulation of habit and education.
Wheat bread, railways, good roads,
electricity, telephones, telegraphs,
automobiles and movies were once
luxuries. They are still luxuries to
some parts of the population"
The business of advertising is to
educate and to stimulate habits and
which produce increased demand.
In the course of this process, ad-
vertising reduces the cost of distri-
button and effects economies which
make it possible to transform the
luxuries of yesterday into the neces-
sites of today.

THEATRES
At the Majestic

Season after season the "Bowery
Burlesquers." Joe Hurtig's capable
organization. has lived up to the
name it has acquired as being the
SHOW that made burlesque famous
On Monday this organization ar
rives at the Majestic theatre for n
days engagement and is prepared
to offer more in the way of diver
sion than ever before. The largo
company and the superior beauty
chorus will be seen in a fast and
amusing b~urlesque which was writ
ten by Loney Haskell. 1t is in ten
scenes and is entitled "Going Up and
Coming Down" The chief comedy
roles concern two aviators who know
little or nothing about the art of
flying. but who are fool-hardy
enough to venture a fight around
the world in one hundred and fifty
minutes. a prize OF $50. 900 being the
reward that lures them. There adj
ventures and experiences provide
many hilarious situations which pro-
woke the heartiest and most con-
tinuous laughter. Billy Foster and
Frank Harcourt are the two capable
comedians who interpret these roles
and IL may be said that they give
a production having every possible
laugh impetus. The vehicle is all
the more entertaining because of its
timely nature. 1t deals mostly with
aviation. the flight across the Allan
tic being the theme. This gives an
excuse for transporting the audience
into many lands, including Spain.
Paris and Russia. In each of these
typical scenes are produced. Sup
porting Foster and Harcourt are
such well known and capable per-
formers as Marty Semon. Kitty Glas-
go. Libby Hart. Mallon and Well.

she actually began her career. She
acted in Christmas entertainments
enough to convince her father, Frank
Gilmore, that it wouldn't be bad idea

Jimmy Valentine''
Nearly 'Flopped' in

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" Paul Arm
etrong's play, which is to be given
new production by George G. Tyler at
the Gaiety Theater next Thursday
night. was phenomenal success when
Mr.. Tyler first produced 1t here nearly
twelve years ago. Later it ran for a
year in London, with Gerald Du Mau-
fier playing the leading role. But it
came mighty near being failure over
there.
ri didn't make the London produc-
tion Of the play" said Mr.. Tyler the
other day. "Charles Frohman wanted
the English rights, and l let him have
them. He wanted Hugh Ford, who
staged the piece here for me, to go
over to put 1t on, but Ford was very
busy at something else and couldn't

which the hero. a reformed cracksman,
opens big bank safe in which child
has been locked accidentally.
fortunately, discovered this just
in time to save the London production
from being a fizzle of the worst sort.
The play was in rehearsal at the Duke

in fact, and the first performance was
set for the next night. Naturally, /

rable companion IN London, was with
him, and he took his pipe out Of his
mouth long enough to remark that his
sentiments were the same. c. f., you
see, hadn't seen the play in New York.
He'd left it all to the stage director.
"Well, the rehearsal went on, and
watched. It was all right until they
came to the big scene-the safe scene
and when the curtain went up on
that almost fell out of my seat. In

they were using dinky little affair
