"THE BAT" HAS REMARK
ABLE RECORD FOR SUCCESS

With every theatrical record in
New York and Chicago both for to-
tai attendance and for gross box Of
flee receipts to it's credit THE
Bat" the sensational dramatic tri-
umph by Mary Roberts Rinehart
and Avery Hopwood will be pre-
scented by Wagenhals and Kemper
at the Apollo Theatre on Tuesday,
August goth. The forthcoming ap-
pearance of "The Bat" in this city
is, unquestionably, the outstanding
dramatic event of the year. With
out doubt, no play in recent years
has been discussed quite so much
in this city. The remarkable rec
ord for success, compiled by THE
Bat" both in New York where it
ran over two years and Chicago
where it played more than one en-
tire year. has been noted frequent
ly here whenever the subject of the
theatre has arisn. To say that "The
Bat" will receive an enthusiastic
welcome from local theatregoers is
putting it mildly.
"The Bat" comes here, exactly
as it was offered in New York and
Chicago and it is now being played
in London. The production is on
the same massive scale and the cast
/ is a noteworthy one.

New York The
S. S. President Harding, one Of the
crack vessels OF the United States
Lines, had the unique distinction on
It's last trip into New York of bring
ing back the champion eater of the
North Atlantic, in the person of
Tobias Jason, one of the fortunate
ones to have oil discovered on hts
farm, near Pecos, Texas.
The first question that Jason
asked Chief Steward Billie Lynn,
on boarding the S. S. President
Harding was, Are you sure that
| will get enough to eat?''
Chief Lynn was naturally taken
.aback by the question and thought
for a moment that it was a new
joke. But, after looking at the
serious, eXpeetant countenance OF
Mr.. Jason, realized that he was in
earnest and assured him that he
need not worry about getting
enough IL eat
Mr.. Jason then conlided that he
had lived all OF his life on farm
in Texas, and tn while he was
tilling it he dreamed of the time
that he would be able to get an in
finite variety as well as a plenti-
full supply Of all the dishes that
he had never been able to obtain
on his farm. He modestly admitted
that he was the undisputed cham
,pion food consumer in his county,
and that 1t was only after oil had
been discovered ON his farm, that
he realized that he YVES a Gnn. on

He decided to see the world and at

that ne had a large order TO fiji,
