 The old German who has been drinking beer all his life fails in his I hAme-brew efforts and begins to get thin.
 On the prohibition side-well, of course Kolb as the dry advocate goes broke; but that is as it should be; everything for the cause.
 All the stage evidence goes to in- dicaae greater prosperity under the dry conditions. The spoken words alone carry division of argument. with much to think about on both sides.
 "You know well enough" cays Clarence Kolb in the character of Dominick Schloss, reformed saloon man. that if everybody would stop drinking today they would all be dry tomorrow!'''
 'Sure!" saHcasticaly agrees Dill. "The dryer you make them. the more they drink"
 Certainly these are truths. And they may be adapted 10 suit the beGefs of either side.

 Then Miss Blanc invariably sets the house in uprnar:
 "Is there any law that says how old you got to be before you can fiap?"
 Toward the end Of the play. Kolb recedes frcw h7s prohibition at.i- tude until finally he rejoins his old partner. Wagner. in sentiment full of dampness.
 ''Wha,t are you getting out of this, anyway" Asks Din in the talk that leads up 10 the abandonment of dry principle. You're not working for the government"
 "No. I'm working for the coun- try Kolb explains. "The govern ment can't be every place. "It has only got 5o,O0o officers and they can't watch 110,0O0.OO0 drink ers.'
 After he has concluded that the vosstead Law is not operating sat- isfactorily. Koib delivers this speech which Is about the only one he ever made directly in stage agreement with Dill:
 Eve found out what prohibition is now. All 1t has done is to make the pnice higher and the booze worse. It makes the poor work ingman drink wooden alcohol. It has made millions of people law breakers over night and the only crime they comm ntted was to get thirsty"
 In Seattle, where Now And Then" was played few weeks ago. the Anti-Saloon League took ex- ception to the play and sent a rep- resentative to discuss 'ft with Kolb and Din. No action was taken. In two Oregon cities. Grants Pass and Medford, ministers preached about the comedy and declared that it was propaganda.
 Our play is not propaganda, !" said Clarence kolb, when he tolc me about this. We are not fin- anced by any wet interests. as has been alleged. We pay for every thing but the near-beer we use in the saloon scene on the stage; and tha, is given to us. We have a good fun-play and we amuse the public with it. If the prohibition- ;sts. or anybody else, will bring us a comedy that meets. our require ments as Now And Then does. we will be glad to play it next season and for the privilege of playing it we will pay a handsome royalty which at the minimum in three states alone would reach $15.000."
 The audiences applaud both sides of the argument and laugh all the time.-(By Thomas Nunsn. in the San Francisco Examiner.)
