Success Requisites.

To be a real ~go-getter you must at
tempt and succeed in a great many
things common folks dodge. To be able
to see values where others see loss
brings riches and power. Folks call
1t luck. It's merely the asset of the
go-getter. The more you do the more
you can do. Success oils the ma
chinery and tempers the tools that
develop power. It's marshaling re-
sources and turning them to account
that marks you an outstanding figure.

GARRICK-"Charlev'sA Aunt"


In pursuance of their policy of pre-
senting clean and wholesome comedy,
the Garrick Players last night pre-
sented at the Garrick Theater the
time-honored farce, "Charley's Aunt"
1t was played with delightful zest
and was greeted by a more than
ordinarily enthusiastic audience. AS
a augh-prsducer "Charley's Aunt"
has no equal. The parts have been
discriminatingly assigned and a
smooth and enjoyable performance is
the result Dennis King, who as
sumes the role of Charley Wykeham's s
aunt i'm order to assist the love-
making of two college mates, has the
burden of the play. Jack Chesney
and Wykeham, two college friends,
have invited two girls and the aunt
of one of them to lunch with them,
1t is obvious that an aunt must be
provided or the girls also will alb
sent themselves. The manner in
which the counterfeit is obtained and
the complications that result form
the basis of the play.
The two girls are charmingly por-
trayed by Dorothy Megrew and
Imogen Taylor. Ada Meade is daint-
lily attractive in the role of Ella
Delahay. other parts are capably
presented by Edwin Trusheim. ]. f.
