"N|GHT|E NIGHT"
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Delightful and Ingenious Comedy Opens Engagement
 Tonight, Matinee Saturday

"Nightie Night" which will open an engagement of three nights be- ginning tonight. with matinee Sat- urday, is one of the most delightful farces of the stage.
 "Nightie Night" is farce pure and simple, and the chief interest centers in the ingenuity and freshness of viewpoint and treatment that the au- thors have been. able to bring for ward in the story. It is one of the most ingenious and at the same time one of the most hilarious comedies produced in years. On the trifling incident of 8 husband neglec,ing to tell his wife of a chance encounter hinges the funniest situations con- ceivable and the audience leaves the theatre exhausted from spasms of wholesome laughter. Both in lines and situations it Is humorous with out an episode that might offend the most discriminating theatregoer.
 Harry Stubbs and several members of the. supporting cast which pre- scented the farce in such breezy manner last season will be seen on the stage of the Jefferson Thursday evening. The personnel includes the names of Thelma White, Helen Ma mur, Elsie Grant, Alton Goodrich. J. Warren Lyon, Myron z. Paulson and Lewis Reed.

 Little work of development has been done. the principal effort thus far having been more upon lines Of investigation than real development on paying or commercial basis. Nu- mcrous other tests have been made in various places over the com munity. and there are many other outcroppings of coal on different farms. The great need, as all read fly admit, Is the necessary financial backing for the complete develop ment of these and other mineral in- terests, and as one owner of small "coal farm" said to your correspon- dent today, right now is the best time the prospective coal land pur- chaster could find to invest in this section. as just little money would go a lonE ways and many mineral or entire land holdings could be picked up at very reasonable rates

The Austrians departed un- convinced and, on the 2lst, tele- graphed plan for a direct appeal to the belligerents after having tried to obtain for this plan the support of Bulgaria and Turkey. Excitement runs high in Berlin and at Spa. The discussion continues three weeks. From September to 5, Won Hintze and his under secretary of state, Von Stumm, go to Vienna to preach re- sistance.

Cline faced the champion for the first
two rounds and was badly shaken with
