Buy Wives on
Time, Now Can't
Pay For Them

London, Sept. "a. Many natives
of Pondoland. South Africa, are
likely to lose wives purchased on
extended credit during the past
three years, because they claim to
be unable to complete their pay
ments. The purchase Of wives on
credit is not usually allowed
among the natives, as there is too
much inclination to return the
wives in lieu of the purchase
price. but matrimonial morator-
ium has been in effect during the
period of mourning for the death
of a paramount chief. This period
is now over and the natives who
obtained wives on credit must pay
up or return the women to their
parental kraals.

LIVELY TUNES
MARK SHOW
sLittle Jessie James to
Abound in Jazz Music

Rapid fire wit, ludcrous farcial
situations and succession OF Jazzy
tunes go to make up the musical
concoction known as Little Jessie
James" which is to be the attrac-
ton at the Auditorium, Thursday
Sept. 25. The advance seat sale
is very heavy. 1t was written by
Harlan Thompson, who provided
the book and the lyrics, and Harry
Archer, who composed the music,
and is produced by l.. Lawrence
Weber. Only recently this gay
est of musical comedies terminated
in a run in New York City which
lasted solid year. 1t also had a
long engagement in Chicago and
was undoubtedly the outstanding
hit of last season in both cities.
The music is extremely popular,
one number in particular called 81
Love You" having had an enor-
NOUS sale and been heard every
where through the medium of the
phonograph records. The story
concerns corn-fed damsel who
halls from the great State of Kan
sas and who has earned the so
briouet of Little Jessie James from
the fact that she always manages
to get what she wants, or at least
that is her motto. Out home they
call her Little Jessie James be
cause she is forever breaking the
sumptuary laws which are SO plen
tiful out in that section; for in
stance, she smokes cigarettes mo-
because she likes them but because
it is against the law to do so

cast for his production of "Littl
