A1lerlt FIopWood'S New
PLAY This Season

I wonder if you went down to
the Lyric theatre the other night
to get a peep at Avery Hopwood's
latest comedy.
l did.
1t would sorter make anybody
sit up and take notice.
The only thing l couldn't under
stand about the whole thing was
how on earth any women who had
ever captured man as good look
ing as John Glynn McFarlane
could ever leave him.
Why should she want to look at
Europe at all?
1t was a good play, all right, if
it's true to life-with apologies to
Avery, who wrote it-but when l
think of the statement of Ralph
Barrow, head of the Childrens' Aid
society, that there are any moment
on earth in Alabama you want to
pick out, just 10000 neglected
children who need somebody to
mother and care for them, | am
afraid there are lot of women
in Alabama who haven't been
spending their summers in Europe.
l thought the climax the prettiest
thing / most ever heard. What a
sweet little child she was--and my
heart bled for her when she went
to gather "blackberries.
1t is good to reflect that most
of society loves children-rich or
poor--and | did think some of the
excuses in the play which some
men invent for doing the wrong
thing, shows poor stamina from a
mans standpoint.
l always soiter had an idea that
regular man would do right for
his own sake, regardless what
circumstances or influences might
be. A man who can't be a worth
while man for his own sake is con-
structed of pretty poor stuff.
Likewise a woman.
1t would seem from Avery Hop
woods play that some men care q
tinker's little bit about the spiritual
things of life at all. And the ter
rifle thing, | thought, driven home
is the modern tendency women are
showing to plead and beg and be-
seech men for their love or con-
sideration. We have been seeing
good deal of this of late years
in the way modern damsels are
calling young SWANS over the tele-
phones at all hours, putting the
heavy pedal on when they ask them
to call, going the bunny-hug gait
with them, telling risque jokes;
and sometimes | fear there are
some of our girls who are not wait
ing for leap year to propose.
1t would be we'll, | am forced to
feel, if our girls could get back
on a pedestal and let the men do
a little work.
It's rare these days to hear men
express heavenly thoughts about
women. And many there are who
make no excuse to defend them
from the little heavy burdens life
brings them, spiritually, mentally
and, heaven knows, physically.
The stock company is an enjoy |
able one, and it's fine thing that

IL We Have to Draw
Water. We DRINK POD

Water, We DRINK Pop
"If you want any water, help
yourself"
This the summons.
We look at the well-and help
ourselves to grape juice. We are
lazy critters with a highly devel-
oped taste. And way we fit out
into the cavernous kitchen of the
club, with it's big, old-timer wood
stove, and it's rows and rows of
pots and pan-and-.
Al at once, we are awakened
from dreams of Aunt Patty-cake
over the cook-stove, by shout
that is as joyous and spontaneous
as the shout Adam must have emit
ted that time he ate his first water
melon.
Some Exchange member, drift
ing up, is crying out:
"We're off to the creek for an
other swim. What about les 60
ing? Are we counting you in?
Sadness like sad sea waves
rushing over confiscated cham
payne.
"Sorry, old beam" voices here
and there-"but I must rush away
back to town. I'm watching the
pickle market awfully closely 'saft-
ernoon. There are several street
cars for sale and I must get back
to purchase few. Thompkins
said he expected to balloon into
town today to buy packet of
hickory nut crackers to plant
and a brace of wild barbed wire.
He was going to bring a cage to
put the wire in. During some other
weekend now"
But the Observation-Disclosures has
fled. He knows a hopeless case,
moment he hears one.
He is off to line up better pros
pects-and finda them, in prac-
cally every other member Of the
club; and any number Of the wom-
en- guests, who, like beautiful but
terflies, congregated, throughout
the day, in the big halls and liv-
ing room of the club house, which
they made general headquarters.
Not going too fast for you, are
we?
All right.
Hats in hand.
Meet a group of charming wom-
en-and oh, aren't Mrs. Edmund
Armes and Theresa Cory adorable!
Never have seen them in my life
but that they're helping to make
everything joyous for those around
them.
These are some of the play-day
group-Mrs. Harry Bradley, Miss
Marie Stead - awfully pretty -
Mrs. O. B. Harris, Mrs. c. V. Orr,
Miss Ethel Ray Snyder, Mrs. A. B.
Tanner, Mrs. ]. Ross Snyder, Mrs.
D. D. Crawford, Mrs. Stewart An
derson, Mrs. L. A. Brooks.
Through the front door of the
club house-out upon the front
gallery-thence to the lawn-and
finally to the vista which reveals
the lake, blue as an ocean cavern
and inviting as swim in the heart
of vast seashell.
Suns rays striking upon the
water. Little lightning flashes of
diamond brightness! And sem
sation of such PEACE.
Allen G. Loehr, than which this
town possesses no person of more
artistic sense, finds words of dis
criminating praise for this bit of
Alabama sea-and-sky; and back we
are whisked into newspaper land
when Mr.. Davey tells some thrill
ing stories of big-time stuff, and
the difficulty it always is to cap
ture a picture of woman muir
deress from the murderess herself.
For some reason, she never wants
to give it up.
