the extremely enthusiastic audience.
With j. L. Convery, who has given un-
stintingly of his talent and energy to
make this show the "best ever" dir
Getting it, the success of the produc-
tion was assured. The popularity of
Mr.. Convery, both as an actor and
director, is not to be marveled at, in
asmuch as he combines more than his
share of dramatic talent with untiring
vigor and an ability to get the most
out of every member of the cast.
In addition to Mr. Convery's splen-

POmpell's Destruction Described
Prof Allen gave a graphic descrip-
ion OF the destruction of Pompeii by

Baker Gives Up $1,000

DR.. Baker-Baker became Grim
inal when, in March, 1921, he
ordered from the Direct Sales Com
pany of Buffalo, New York, an
enormous quantity of morphine,
alleging that he wished to stock up
enough to carry him over a threat
ened railroad strike. Fry drew
from Tozer the precious informa-
ton that Baker was himself a
drug addict. Tozer meekly accom-
panied Fry on his blackmail visit
to Bakers Hollis office. The con-
versation between the three men
is recorded. One passage is excep-
tionally cruel:
Fry: How would you like your
addiction spread all over the front
pages of the papers?
Baker: 1t will ruin my practice
It will make me a pauper.
Fry: How would you like to be
prosecuted?
Baker: 1t will break my mothers
heart.
Baker mortgaged his home and
settled for $1,000.

profit from minister Of the gospel
