Scottish Humor

Do you know what a Scottish joke
is? They are very deep in Scotland.
They've got a Scottish joke on now
It's this voting on the question
whether they should go dry or not.
OF course, being Scotsmen, they've no
intention of going dry! No; they've
got the world to toast. Everybody's
got long faces and whispering, Scot
lands going dry" and all the time the
Scotsmen are smiling broadly. It's a
deep joke. A Scottish joke!
Still, some people take the matter
seriously, like one old dame in Aber-
deem. She was asked the other day
if she would vote mo Change" in the
Scottish temperance act.
Ma, MAJ" she replied, in naughty
accents. 81 Wilma vote for No
Change I will vote for them to leave
it as it is. Dae ye think that Am
guam doom wi a pound to ma grocer

She was giving orders at express
rate, for they were a married couple.
He-poor man-was, as a rule, the
most submissive of men.
But even a cab-horse will turn.
Throwing out his manly chest, until
he nearly lost sight of it under the
stubble on his chin, he brought his
fist down with great g%entleness upon
the table.

tured, that you rule the whole uni

NO" she snapped, "but I rule the
first letter of it!"-Pittsburgh Press.

This department asked Mr.. Myles Muir
ply, representative OF Welcome
Stranger" TO prepare a few lines on the
history Of this successful production.
It was IN December, 1919, that a new
comedy. Welcome Stranger" one Of Sam
II. Harris productions, quietly drifted
into the Conan Grand Opera House. Chi
cagO, with no heralding announcements
and no boasts Of its merit. II seemed to
come from nowhere for none had ever
heard Of It before. The author was
Aaron Hoffman, who was one Of the au-
thors Of Friendly Enemies" He had
also written one Of Willie Golfers plays
Nothing but Lies" Hoffman had been
brought up in Chicago and had n host
OF personal friends there. who deemed tt
a duty to go there the first night and
give his play q boost
The piece was booked there for a lin
tied enga cement, only i've weeks, "a
bridge over a gap between that time and
the coming OF THE Royal Vagaboud, "
In February. There is an axiom in the
theater that nobody knows the show
business" Welcome Stranger proved
the truth Of the saying. 1t started with
a rush. The first performance told the
public that there were more laughs in Il
than In anything produced for years be-
fore it. Instead OF five weeks It re-
NAMED IN Chicago for thirtyslx weeks.

In The Land of Make Believe
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

In my mail this week was a letter from
a patron Of the movies complaining about
making fun Of the American anthem"
I have stated my positive disgust at
such tactics whenever coming under my
observation. 1 did not witness the oc-
currence Of which the letter complains.
r The letter Is as follows:
Does II show real patriotic American
spirit TO make fun Of our national an
them? Although the war IS over, people
should show the same attitude toward our
flag and the national anthem that IS
shown IN time Of war The song IS the
greatest song ever written and it stands
for the greatest flag that ever was IN
furled over any country IN the world.
Isn't laughing at this song an insult to
our flag? In time Of war no one would
dare do It. Why allow It now?
at a local theater 0ast week a mule
becomes baIky lin q picturel and sits
down and the "Star Spangled Banner" Is
used as a ruse to get him up. In France
every person, 10 matter how old or how
young, VIII not stand for an insult TO
their national anthem. Why shouldn't
we the greatest nation on earth, show as
much spirit?"
The letter speaks for itself and does
not require any remarks from me.

SHAKESPEARE
COMES BACK ON
GAY BROADWAY
SOthern and Marlowe Win New
Laurels in Classics-Dixie
Hines Review.
BY DIXIE HINES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Shake-
speare, good old Shakespeare, is the
keystone to our current success.
Sothern and Marlowe have found 1t
so profitable that they have extended
their limited season at the Century
Theater. And while Shakespeare is
coming into his own, three hundred
years after his death, it leaves little
room for optimism among play pro-
ducers of the present.
If, for instance, Bessie BarriscaIe must
wait three hundred years before New
York playgoers find her comedy, 1.-THE
Skirt" amusing, where is the present
profit? But these sad ruminations get
us nowhere. The fact is that plays are
still being produced regardless of their
disastrous receptions with infreqnently
deviatiOns. Last week half a dozen were
exhibited and this week a score.
No man writes more scintillating dia-
log than Arnold Bennett, and when his
new play, THE Title" was staged for
the first time last week at the Belmont
Johnson heading a generally competent
cast, there was much interest, and this m
terest was transmitted into artistic ap-
probation the play progressed along
Its road of satire at the British institu-
ton Of "Honors List" Mr.. Bennett does
not think mucn Of the bestOwal Of honors,
if we take him seriously from the lines
of his play. He thinks these honors a
detriment rather than an advantage to
really decent man, because there are
so many titles bestowed upon the I'M
deserving. 1t is not the theme that is so
attractive it is the graceful and anus
ing manner in which he treats this theme
Lumsden Hare as Mr.. Culver and Selene
Johnson as Mrs. Culver are the princi-
