called ever since he began to think
about medicine. A short time ago
Walter made a visit to the old family

information-inside tips, as it were.
Tell me-" Walter pleaded, show did
you manage to become one of the
leading doctors OF the city? Is there
an open sesame or is is just plain
hard work?"
"Wen," the old doctor confessed.
ITS really little of both. I've worked

I'll tell you how really got my start.

this exodus is to discover and teach
the farmers how to prevent the boil
weeyil fror- destroying the cotton as
fast as it IS produced.
The shortage of calcium arsenate
is a third factor in forcing US TO
take immediate action if the 1928
crop is to be saved. Use of this
chemical is the only effective means
of weevil control which has been
discovered, and the problem of pro-
ducing a large crop this year would
be much less serious if an abundant
supply of cheap calcium arsenate was
available. Such is not the case,
however.
The first problem which will -

BRINGING UP FATHER
PLEASES PACKED HOUSE

Standing room was at a premium
last night at the Rylander, when
folks came from far and wide" to
spend a dollar and to see Maggie
wallop Gggs with the rolling pin,
in the musical comedy Bringing Up
Father on His Vacation"
The Ladies of the Ensemble" as
the program classified the chorus,
were few in number, but worked
hard to please. The stage settings
were pleasing, neither too elaborate
nor were they worn or skinny.
Tom Haverly, as Jiggs, and En-
ma Weston, as Maggie, were better
than the average and pleased 50
per cent of the audience. FRANK
Christie, as Dinty Moore, and Boo
Wilson, the sweetheart of Maggie's
daughter, could dance bit and sing
bit and added much to the eve
ning's entertainment.
Taken as a whole, last nights en-
tertainment was satisfactory. I
think most of US went expecting rs
cents worth of fun for our dollar and
were agreeably surprised to find that
we were getting 100 cents on invest
ment.
1t must have been better than the
average for the whole company got
by, received generous applause at
times, without having to resort to the
shady and vulgar, as is too often the
case. Bringing Up Father" is
good dollar show, clean and moving
from one situation to the next with
out the usual dragging. L. E.

that it Is a musical absurdity, built
for laughing purposes only" The
music is of a kind that appeals to
the ordinary burlesque patron rang
ing from the jazziest jazz, as sung by
Marie Lauritz. to classical selections
by Inez Smith and Johnny Crosby.
The comedy is furnished by Danny
Murphy. clever entertainer who,
despite his Celtic name. is well versed
in the Teuton dialect; Joe Yule, an
odd type of comedian, whose work
as "Stuttering Sam" was very laugh
able, and Don Clark, who, in addi-
ton to his many duties as straight"
undertakes to stage the entire pro-
ductfon. The comedy on the whole is
rather enjoyable, there being only one
feature that is in any way off color
the baby carriage turn-and that could
easily be dispensed with
Mabel Clark puts good bit of ginger
and ability into the role of soubrette
ana wears a number of rather pretty
costumes, two of which are daring, to
say the least. Inez Smith has pleasing
voice, which she uses to advantage, and
Exie Butler, in addition to vocal selec-
uons. plays a saxophone well. Marie
Lauritz has only one song, which ap-
pears to be an oversight, for she made
with 1t one of the real hits of the show.
