II 1t was unexpected. 1t went hand in
hand with the general industrial depres-
sion and was prolonged and exagger-
ated by the exceptionally fine summer
or last year. If this summer had been
equally fine it would probably have
continued even longer, but the unset
tied weather that has reigned since the
beginning OF the summer has been OF
the greatest benefit to the theaters, and
since June conditions have much i'm
proved. Now that the worst period of
the year. from the theatrical point of
view, is over there Is little fear of any
recrudescence OF the depression until
business temporarily sIackens during
next summer. Some theater managers
nave blamed the entertainment tax for
the slump" but facts hardly bear out
this contention.
Al present theaters are crowded, and
the excellence of theatrical business can
be Judged by the number Of West End
plays that have had long runs At the
present moment there are over twenty
plays running at West End theaters
which have established themselves as
settled successes. The Beggar's Opera"
at the Lyric, Hanlme rsmith, has run for
more than two years, and several pieces
have now run for over 400 perform

Palladium. Round in Fifty" at the
Hippodrome, and "A to r. at the Prince

Hshed successes are 1.-The Way of an

into jazz for the accompaniment of fox

London Times" on
The Theatrical Slump

Something has been heard here
lately concerning the remarkable re-
covery which theatrical London is
undergoing from the depression of
last season. The London Times has
the following interesting comments to
make on that phenomenon:
The theatrical slump" which has
caused great deal OF real distress in
theater land for two years. at last seems
TO have been overcome, and for some
months now the majority of West End
theaters have been playing to excellent
houses. The slump was of unprece-
dented duration, but II was bound to
be only temporary, and IT Is now an
ticipated that 1t has come to an end
for good. There are still likely to be
periods when business" at>the theaters
temporarily fails. but among West End
managers 1t Is now confidently believed
that the period of depression which fol-
lowed in the wake of the end of the
war has been left behind.

Celtic Park was never gayer.
Within its confines were many

In addition were numerous women

Such were the tranquil scenes
which greeted the observer at Celtic

the United Mine Workers were In

After the Showdown

The great buyers strike of 1920
81, a never-to-be-forgotten event in
the economic history Of this coun-
try, proved a point which must
henceforth be recognized as basic
and incontrovertible.
1t was discovered by merchants
and jobbers everywhere, in prac-
tically every line of merchandise,
that it was the trademarked and
adequately advertised brands of
goods that got the lions share of
the business there was to get, while
the preponderant loss of sales fell
on the unbranded and unadvertised
goods.
This was great Showdown"
for Advertising. Its position as a
factor in economic life was on trial.
Had it really done what had always
been claimed for it? Had it created
consumer preference that would
hold against the keen competition
of sacrifice price on unmarked
goods?
The verdict of the buying public
was unqualified. 1t was not a straw
vote to determine popularity. 1t was
the final test of willingness to buy.
The ballots were dollars. And the
preponderant MAJ jority voted with
their dollars that they preferred to
keep right on buying advertised
goods.
With the whole country on re-
duced schedule of production and
sales, the factories that were able to
keep on producing, in anything like
normal quantities, were invariably
those making trademarked and ma
tionally advertised goods.
