COMEDY HAS ENJOYED LONG
RECORD RUN OF THREE
HUNDRED YEARS

One good way to judge q play
is by the number Of times it has
been played. If audiences enjoy it,
they recommend it to their friends
and so it plays night after night
making new friends all the time.
Consequently, when we see q play
times in New York" or 5000 times
in Chicago" we know that it is
pretty likely to be an entertaining
What shall we say, then, Of
play that has run not for 300 per-
formances only, but for 800 yearsl'
Surely that indicates, absolutely,
that it is an entertaining play!
"The Tanning Of the Shrew" made
it's audience roar with laughter
when it was first produced, at the
Globe Theatre, in London, more
than 800 years ago, by William
Shakespeare, the most popular play
wright Of his day. Since then it
has been played all over the world,
has been translated into nearly all
languages, has been enjoyed by
literally millions of people in every
quarter Of the globe, and today is
Just as entertaining and just as
funny as it was the day it was
written.
Its author has been pronounced,
not only the "most popular play
wright Of his day." but the greatest
poet and dramatist Of all times.
He knew what would make his
audiences weep, as his great trag-
edies will testify; but he knew
equally well what would make his
audiences laugh, and no play bears
stronger witness Of this than the
hilarious story of "The Tanning Of
the Shrew."
There is also rollicking, roman
tic element to the story in the
plight Of Blanca, the pretty younger
sister, whose father will not let
her marry until her elder sister,
the ill-tempered Katharine has
found a husband. The efforts Of
Bianca's suitors to find some man
brave enough to marry Katharine;
their meeting with the staggering,
adventure-loving Petruchio, and his
boast that he will marry Katharine
and make a model wife of her; the
way he carries out his boast; and
the fight among Bianca's lovers as
to which one shall marry her after
her sister is safely out Of the way,
make up a play that is comedy
and romance from beginning to
end.
When the play Is given mere as
a part of the Chautauqua program,
the role of Petruchio will be played
by Mr.. Moroni Olsen, one Of the
promising young actors of the
American theatre. Mr.. Olsen has
not only headed his own company
on tour, but has appeared as lead
ing man on Broadway in several
metropolitan productions. The role
Of Katharine will be in the capable
hands Of Miss Janet Young, who
has been associated with Mr.. Olsen
as leading woman for several sea-
sons. Miss Young is a charming
young actress and a gifted come
dian. The remainder Of the cast
will be made up Of equally proficient
sefoxs.

STOP THAT ACHE!

Don't worry and complain about a
bad back. Get rid of that pain and
lameness. Use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Many Pocomoke City people have
used them and know how effective
they are. Here's a Pocomoke City
case.
Edward N. Tull, carpenter, Laurel
and Second Sts., says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy have
ever found for kidney complaint. My
work is heavy strain on the back
and kidneys. I often had attacks OF
lumbago and such dull, heavy ach-
ing and soreness across my kidneys.
it was all l could do to keep going.
The action of my kidneys was irreg-
ular. read. of Doan's Kidney Pills
and got some at Lloyd & Blaine's
Drug Store. They Strengthened me
out in good shape, relieving the
backache and putting my kidneys in
good order"
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Tull had. Foster.Milburn Co.,

JOY NIGHT

y A "Joy Night" program by
Alton Packard, humorist extraor-
dinary and master cartoonist, will
close this years Chautauqua pro-
gram here.
When Alton Packard begins to
talk and sketch, the spirit of fun
and merriment sweeps through the
big brown tent in waves of increas-
ing frequency and volume until the
great audience is rocking with
laughter in one continuous peal.
The humorist-cartoonist rapidly
sketches American types, comment
ing upon their peculiarities and
eccentricities, their vanities and
virtues, sparing none and often
indulging in singing satire. Pack
ard is far ahead Of the ordinary
stage cartoonist. TIE fun rises to
its height in a series of original
songs, and Mr.. Packard responds
with one encore after smother. The
American home scene in charming
colors with the eloquent appeal for
the American home ideal, brings
"Joy Night" to a fitting conclu-
sion, with the best at the last.
Alton Packard's unique skill at
quickly sketching pictures and car
toons in black and white and color
is made doubly effective by his
fluent speech, his rich, exhilarating
humor and the extraordinary
cleverness with which he sings his
original songs. Ordinarily song
is just passing pleasure; we hear
songs by the score or by the nun
dreds on the stage or on the pnono-
graph and forget that they were
sung, but these songs that Alton
Packard writes and sings have q
humorous or sentimental twist all
their own, and a lilt which rings
in the memory afterwards.
And Alton Packard's stories! It
seems as though the spirit of mirth
has upset all restrictions, tipped
over the stale old pot Of puritanical
punk and let loose an irresistible
gale Of merriment when Packard
starts in to be funny. Packard's
jests, stories end witticisms would
explode the dignity of a bronze
statue Of Wilhelm the Lost.
The rapidity Of Mr.. Packard's
sketching is marvel, while the de-
1ineation Of a character in faces
and figures, exaggerated somewhat
in the spirit Of caricature, is es-
sentially true to human nature.
Characters, grotesque, eccentric and
peculiar, are sketched on a scale
somewhat larger than life size on
immense sheets Of paper eight feet
square and upon canvases equally
large.
The surprisingly beautiful home
picture painted with rare skill and
telling effect in brilliant, but har-
monious coloring, will linger always
with Alton Packard's hearers, a
guiding vision to hold them stead
fast to the happiest, highest, holiest
ideal Of the heart.

Ii we want to we can eliminate a greater part of the mosquito evil by 6 voluntary effort. We can destroy all their breeding places about our places and the city can keep the drains and ditches open and see that no stag nant pools are allowed. If it is neces- sary to cut the weeds, why we guess we could do that on pinch. The only thing is to get to wanting a mosquito less town strong enough.

ONE FIREMAN KILLED,
 THyO ARE INJURED D
Arlington HCtel at Hot Springs De- strOyed by Fire Thursday-All
 of Guests Escape.

tiot Springs Ark, Apri: 5.-One
 fireman was killed and two other firemen were seriously hurt late
 tonight when the walls of the Ar lington hotel, noted hostelry which was destroyed by fire late today crumbled and fell upon them as they were working in the ruins with hose line. George Ford is the dead man John Wood suffered a broken leg and Butler Brown was badly crushed. The property loss in the fire es- timated tonight at upwards of a million dollars. In addition, loss of personal effects, including jewelry, money and clothing of the guests, twill run into a considerable figure. Most of the hotel occupants were left with no personal property other than what they wore when the alarm was given.
 The escape of many guests and en- ployees was facilitated by the noun tain slope on which the hotel was built, at the rear of the building egress being possible from each floor to>the mountainside.
 The register of guests at the Ar lington included Mrs. Joe T. Robin son, wife of United States Senator Robinson.
 The fire was discovered in the basement of the hotel at 5 o'clock this , afternoon, at which time it already had gained considerable headway. Strenuous efforts Of the city fire de- pertinent personnel were unayailing in checking it's spread, though it was confined to the lower part Of the build ing for an hour.
 RDense smoke in the corridors and even outside the burning building interferred with the work of the fire fighters.
 Fully fifty persons, unable to reach the rear and blocked from stairs by the smoke-flled halls, were rescued by firemen who reached the front win dows on hook and ladder equipment.
 About 300 guests were registered at the hotel. It was believed all es- capped without injury. With exit by the usual means hampered, guests crowded to the balconies with what few of their belongings they could hastily gather, and with the aid of ladders to the mountainside which skirts the hotel site. Some, over come by smoke, wore given medical attention.
 The hotel, situated within the government reservation, had accom- modations for about 800 guests. About two-thirds of the rooms were said to have been occupied.
