WHAT'S WHAT IN
NEW YORK,
By WALTER F. EBERHARDT.

NEW YORK. 4ec. s1.-Openings
for the coming week are: up in
the Clouds" a musical comedy, at
the Lyric, and Lawful Larceny"
Samuel Shipman's new play, pro-
duced by Arthur Woods at the Re-
public. ...
THE Dover Road" is a rollicking
road to travel with a certain Mr..
Latimer as the host. The .debonair
bachelor has established a mansion,
"a sort OF hotel with plenty 70
drink and not too much to eat" on
the road to Dover, where he inter-
cepts eloping couples on their way
to France. and makes them his
guests for a week. In the citadel
of his. home he tactfully prevents
the unhappiness of mismatine and
plants the seeds Of true love with
Bunbankian ease, evolving a flower
Of his own making. The comedy,
by A. A. Milne, who wrote 'Mr.
Pim." scores over. its predecessor
by more tangible plot and a
broader comedy appeal. The lines
are very clever, and the cast pro-
vided by Guthrie McClintic is close
to perfection. Charles Cherry, in
the role of Mr., Latimer. gives q su-
perb-performance. in which he ap-
parently enjoys the humor as much
as the audience.
The Idle Inn" brings Ben:Ami
back to the English-speaking stage
in a. translation Of his folk fantasy
that scored a success in Jewish. As
a staggering horse robber, the for
mer star OF Samson ana Delilah"
gives remarkable performances. He
has overcome the self.consciousness
that marked his appearance last
year. He literally dominates the
stage. The folk dances of the sec
ond act. personally produced by
Arthur Hopkins, are delight to

We have first shown the young

then we have provided exercises
whereby she can strengthen those
muscles which will maintain this
carriage.
"The position in which the modern

One OF the biggest things. beside the

working on is n structure which will do
away with noise-unnecessary sounds,
screechings. yelpings. groanings. clank-
ings-the sounds which annoy city folk.

that are played with magnets, without
the use of wires or pipes: a telescope

Manual Labor

The capacity for thought in his mind
that enables him to use his spade more
effectively will enable him to direct
other men when the chance arrivcs--us
it will.
So much more profit is TO be made
out of brains than out of hands that
no employer can afford to keep a man
with brain nt hand work.
TNIIERE are in the world thousands
l. of men Of distinction who work with
their hands today, and will always
work with their hands.
Among these are printers and sculp-
tors and pianists and many men Iii
laboratories.
These are really brain workers. Of
course, but so Is every man who en-
ploys any working tool intellgcntly
whether he be swinging pick or cary
ing great statue.
Perhaps n majority Of the railroad
executives of the present time have
been manual laborcrs in their day. but
IL was their brains and not their hands
that got them their promotion.
They learned to make the brain tn?
boss and to force II to do the real
work. And in doing that work 1t got
the development that meant promotion
and success.
TO be afraid of manual labor is to be
afraid Of any labor. and the labor shy
man IL likely TO remain at very labo-
rious physical work all his life.
