VAUDEVILLE DAY
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

Once year every vaudeville theater devotes the tire receipts of one performance to the insurance uhd of the National Vaudeville association. c
 This year Vaudeville Day comes the 8th of AI1nl and on that day everybody ought to go to the ShoW
 Not all the people realize what amazing strides have been made in vaudeville within a generation
 It was only back in the eos that variety show, the vaudeville then called, thing to be spoken of with bated breath.
 It supposed to be the very citadel of naughti- ness and the arch corrupter of morals.
 Nobody went to such shows but perfectly reckless and daredevil fok and for the actors and actresses that travelled from town to town performng-they simply were not visible to the naked eye of Church Members and Bank Cashiers.
 All that has changed. Everybody goes to vaudeville
 It has cleanSed itself
 Speaking of morality they have list of rules posted up in the flies in the vaudeville theater that would rr tate Methodist Conference.
 Performers are prohibited from making any offen- sive gestures uttering any improper words.
 Wallace Bruce Arnsbury the reader, told me that Keiths would not let him recite poem of Kpling without expurgating the damns.
 The vaudeville probably has profounder influence on the people of the country than any other agency except the movies and the newspapers
 Whatever reaches vast numbers of people finally gets about the level of the people who patronize it.
 vaudeville audience is quick, sharp, and merciless Whoever appears before it makes good or gets the hook"
 It is the great American people at play. It is what the people want. And it is much better for people to get what they want than what is good for them. For so they grow
 Much of the high standing of vaudeville is due to such B. F. Abee, of the Keith theaters.
 In recent interview he used words that might have come from bishop words which indicate the of responsibility that the best vaudeville managers feel I If every employer" he said, would accept the Great Masters teaching, Be kindly affectioned to another and be unselfsh, and remember those who contribute to their by their daily to 1t would be the death of all dangerous iSmS and Solidfy the foundations of these United States that power could shake it

 For at least four years Marion is set apart from other cities a knoll all own. The bright glare of publicity shines it like spotlight, illum mating its every detail And now, at what might call the precise psychological moment Marion is who happens incidentally to be the worlds leading citizen also-to stop guiding the republic long enough back and take part in the big birth day. Some towns have all the luck.

It hopes the city will have the biggest, most toothsome birth day cake the culinary produced-the best party, in short, that any community anywhere ever The opportunity is It is probably the first a celebrated it's hundredth birthday with the president of the United States hand as a fayorite

It Cannot Hs Done

Even if the "Bull-etins" designated as April Fool' stating that Attorney General Daugherty had resolved to make the country drink itself dry. by employing the bonded warehouses, had been labeled of experience observation would have perceived the futility of such prohibition measure.
 The principle involved is nothing It has been tried time and again. In prohibition days, from the earliest times ambitious individuals tried the same way to make the country dry. by the pro- of drinking up everything hand. But the they drank the the brewers and distillers spurred to efforts and the greater the reserve stock of alcoholic beverages berame

 It amply demonstrated that it could not be done, yet to the last misguided people kept trying it and suppose but for prohibition by hopeless experiment would have been tained to the end of time.

He added that he had travelled all over the country and nowhere had he found prices of clothing, shoes and for that ter articles generally with which was familiar. so low they in Phoenix
 That is not recently developed phenomenon. From the beginning of the rise in prices they more gradually in Phoenix than in any other locality of which know and though the reduction year ago began in the extreme Eas Phoenix was among the earliest to follow suit, though the interven ing stretch of country had yet been touched by the recession of prices.

A TRIBUTE

A gathering that filled the Black stone theater paid tribute to Bert Les ton Taylor at Chicago last Sunday af- ternoon. Hundreds were turned away when the 1900 seats in the house were filled.
 It was a cosmopolitan gathering of men, women and children-rich and poor. Prominent people in the world of literature, music and other arts sat alongside just folks" for it was largely through the medium of the Line o'Type CT Two that just folks" became acquainted and kept in touch with the world of fine arts.
 Quoting from the Tribunes story of the gathering:
 ."The memorial program reflected the spirit of Mir. Taylors column. The music of the .Flonsayley quartette blended with the rhythm of poems read by Donald Robertson. Some "reminiscences or the speaker brought tear, but more of them provoked laughter. The mourning note was all most suppressed
 MT. Robertson read the following poem by Franklin P. Adams. a close friend of MT. Taylor and editor of the "Conning Tower column in the New York Tribune: TO B. L. T.
