Giants Have Fight
Right Up To End
OF Season

The New York Giants are In
for hard fight right up to the
end Of the season. They finish
up on the road and will prob
ably be battling Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati right up to the bitter
end. The Giants, however,
thrive on stiff competition.
The club plays Just as we'll
and probably better away from

appear crucial. Their spirit Is

You Can Afford
Kimlark Rugs for the Porch

Because they are such good floor
coverings, some women think that
they are too expensive for the
porch. Not at all. They are sur
prisingly low in price. And,
because Of their sturdier quality,
they stand up better under the
severe outside conditions than
cheaper rugs do. They are water
proof and washable; their colors
are specially treated to last indef-
nitely. Moreover, they offer two
wearing surfaces. Both sides are
finished-one in an attractive
design. the other plain, in solid
or variegated colors.
Evening star., 1923-04-30
Not Too Costly
for the Summer Cottage

You can even afford Kimlark
Rugs for the simplest summer
home; equip the cottage through
outatan amazingly small expense.
There are gay, colorful designs
thatseem just made for heholiday
spirit ofthe summer home; or, if
you prefer, quiet, neutral patterns
or plain bordered rugs. Sand and
water have little effect upon them;
moths do not attack them; they
can be rolled up and put away for
months at a time without harm.

Thick, Soft and Plant

ings, light and gay, or discreetly
subdued, form the basis Of rooms
Of endless variety and charm.

In Halls Where
Hard Wear Comes
Here it is that Kimlark Rugs
demonstrate their remarkable
sturdiness. The soft, plant sur
face of the rug little suggests the
tough, hard.fnished fabric which
composes it. Only time can show
how firmly Kimlark Rugs resist
the steady wear of passing feet,
the ground-in dust and CRIME of
all outdoors. Kimlark Rugs are
unusually closely woven; dirt does
not readily sift through. Yet they
are easily kept clean. For halls
Kimlark patterns include some
very attractive neutral toned de-
signs and plain bordered rugs that
do not show soil.

Delightful Patterns
for Sun or Breakfast Room

For these informal rooms,
where a gayer note is wanted,
Kimlark Rugs offer a wealth of
charming designs and happy coll
orings. They have other pleasing
qualities which you do not expect
to find in as inexpensive a rug as
this. They are soft and noiseless;
lie flat without curling up at the
edges; do not bend or break when
bent, crushed or folded; withstand
the action Of sunlight; and wear
remarkably we'll.

Kimlark Rugs, with their happy
combination Of soft colored
ground and discreetly gay design;
are equally appropriate for sunny
breakfasts and candle-lit dinners.
Moreover, they withstand won

Of chairs, the scuf.scuf of restless

disasters of spilled food. AS for
spots-a quick rub with art gum
removes them. And an occasional

the rug bright and fresh as new.

BOWKER LEADS IN
THE. BAD MAN CAST
Walker to Present Successful
Stage Comedy Next Week,

That the road to happiness can
have a lot Of detours and bad stretches
in it, is proven beyond the perad-
venture Of a doubt in the Porter En-
erson Browne comedy, THE Bad
Man." which the Stuart Walker Com
pany will put on at the Murat during
the coming week. 1t is a romance in
which until the very end, thorns are
much more plentiful than beds Of
roses.
The Bad Man" was originally pro-
duced by William Harris Jr. at the
Comedy Theater in New York with
Holbrook Blinn in the title role. The
play enjoyed an unusually lengthy
and successful engagement and when
the road tour was started was booked
into this city. For some reason, how
ever, the engagement was cancelled
and the Stuart Walker company pres
entation beginning Monday night will
be the first opportunity local the
atergoers have had to witness this
:. comedy. Porter Emerson Bro&pe,
novelist and short stogy writer. is
the author and he has such other
successes to his credit as "a Fool
There was" rich Man, Poor Man
and THE Spendthrift."
The Bad Man" is a story of Amer
lean ranch life close to the Mexican
border. Ii is a comedy but its ire
mendous appeal, next to the dynamic
character of Pancho Lopez, the GEN.
trail figure, is the intensely human ro-
nance that it weaves, entangles and
then manages satisfactorily to straigh-
ten out. Gilbert Jones and Lucia Pell
loved one another before circum-
stances almost forced her into a mar
riage with Morgan Pell. The chance
came for Pell to turn Jones and his
invalid uncle out Of their home, to
leave them shelterless. He was ready
to do it when-out Of the South came
a strange sort Of Lochinvar in the per-
sonage of Lopez, a Mexican bandit
with a New York education.
Lopez was a Bad Man" At least
he was reputed to be and when in
company with his band he rode UP TO
the Jones ranch he didn't have the
slightest idea of assuming the role of
a fairy godfather. But as Burns or
some one else once remarked the best
laid plan of mice and men often go
astray, just so did Pancho Lopez ride
away from the Jones ranch a few
hours later without having accom-
plished the purpose he had in mind
and which prompted his coming.
Aldrich Bowker will have the title
role. The cast will include George
Somnes, E lei Taylor, Boyd Agin,
Jean Spurney, Jack King Davis, Viii
liam Kirkland, James P. Weber.
Thomas Springer, Wayne HUFF and
others.
