"A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE

In the so-called legitimate branch
of the amusement business it is the
practice to speak of certain out
standing events as seasons. There's
the opera season in New York and
in various others of the larger cities
of the country. Three or four big
cities have seasons by the Follies
company, by the Hippodrome com
pany, when on tour. and so on,
The customs of the 'legit" are Of
ten copied by the motion picture
peole, but this particular one hasn't
yet become general The Tabb The
atre, however might be forgiven for
announcing a season" in conjunc-
ton with the "A Woman of No I'm
portance" engagement" "a Woman
of No Importance" is from the cele-
brated play of the same name by
Oscar Wilde. distinguished English
playwright, and the presentation of
any of his works anywhere in any
form is sufficiently important to at
tract unusual attention.
"a Woman of No Importance" is
one of those famous stories of mod
ern customs and manners for which
Milde is famous. 1t recites a lot of
truths about people in the various
stations of life which are not always
pleasant-and does it in a way that
stirs ones liver. The situation have
required little or no invention and
might have been unearthed in any
community where men and women
love and live.

Corn Is Popular Crop In Colorado.
Denver.-Corn still Is the most pop

assessors to the State immigration
Department show 2S.213 farmers grow
ing corn, compared with 2S,O91 last
year.
Wheat franks second in popularity,
there being 1925 farmers reported az
growing the crop. The number grow
ing winter wheat was 1902, while
14.961 reported spring wheat. Since
a good many farmers grow both win
ter and spring wheat, the total num-
Der growing wheat is considerably less
than the sum Of those reporting win
ter and spring wheat.
While more farmers raise corn than
any other crop, the total acreage de-
voted to wheat Is much larger than
that devoted to corn, being 27.16 per
cent of the total acreage under culti-
walton. Assessors this year reported
1881, $50 acres Of wheat, of which l..
SOL, 1925 acres was winter wheat and
429,S27 acres spring wheat. The acre
age Of corn reported Is 1.l0O,978.

moisture conditions occur soon the
acreage will be considerably curtalled.
Seeding is In progress in Arizona and
some remarkable growth reported.
The yield Of corn will generally be
hight In Colorado due to the excessive
,drouth, except In the eastern and
northeastern counties, where a good
crop Is reported. Corn is maturing
rapidly In Wyoming and is past frost
