"Way Of the World" column in the
San Francisco Call, recently called
Mr.. Smythe zone of Americas best
leading men," Incidentally, ne is
handsome as we'll as fine actor.
sThe Breaking Point" which will
be offered on Tuesday night, is the
newest play by Mary Roberts Kline
hart, author of the "Tish" and "Bab'
and other dramatic successes. 1t is
one of the new plays of the current
Broadway season, having been pre-
sented by Bagenhale and Kemper at
the Kau Theatre, where it run Tor
several months.
Thrills, laughs and stirring love
scenes are the chief ingredients In
aThe Breaking Point" 1t deals with
amnosia, that affliction which causes
a person to suffer complete loss OF
memory. The story centers about q
Young man who, in a moment OF
drunken passion, has killed the worth
less husband of the actress with
whom he is infatuated and who is
projected into a second personality
as a result of the shock of the expert
ence. His memory suddenly returns
after ten years to haunt him with his
profligate past and impose a barrier
between him and the girl he loves.
In both plays, Marie Gale, the pop
ular leading lady of the cambridge
Players, has splendid acting roles.
Other such well-known players as
Arthur Behrens, John Dilson, John
Todd, William C. Walch, Nellie Fish
err and Claire Sinclair also are well
cast.
81 regard this as the most import
ant theatrical announcement by far
that ever have made," said Mr.: Wat
son this week. "This is easily the
most notale booking in the history OF
the Sherman Theatre and should
proye the most important theatrical
event in st. Cloud theatrical history.
I believe that have very good reason
to feel iubilant for having succeeded
in getting Mr.. cambridge to bring
his company to St. Cloud.
'eThe cambridge Players and the
Shubert production will be brought
to ST. Cloud intact. Minneapolis
critics have declared that, in acting
and staging, the Shubert present
atoms are superior to these OF the
majority of road companies that visit
Minneapolis and charge $3.50 prices.
Mr.. cambridge is enabled to offer
entertainment of this caliber at Sl.OO
top price for the simple reason that
he is not confronted with the ex-
cessive transportation costs and other
adverse and uncertain conditions
faced by the touring companies.
"But by hersay, if not by direct
acquaintance, most of the people OF
this vicinity are familiar with the
cambridge Players. I only wish to
state that I myself personally made
a trip to Minneapolis to witness
captain Applejack" last week, and,
as a result, l can guarantee the resi-
dents of st. Cloud and vicinity their
most entertaining theatrical offering
since my association with the Sher-
man Theatre"

The fameou cambridge Players,
Americas foremost stock company
from the Shubert Theatre, Mime
apolis, will come to st. Cloud for two
performances on Jan. % and ~, &C
cording to announcement made by
Manager Billy B. Watson of the
Sherman Theatre. They will present
"Captain Applejack" on Monday
night and "The Breaking Point" on
Tuesday evening.
Managing Director A. G. Balm
bridge, Jr., of the cambridge Players
and The Minneapolis Journal are
holding a contest for Minneapolis
amateur theatrical organizations at
the Shubert on the nights in question
in an effort to encourage the clubs
activities. This contest necessitated
the absence of the cambridge Play
ers from the Shubert for two days.
When Manager Watson of the
Sherman Theatre learned of the con-
test he at once hit upon the idea OF
bringing the cambridge Players to
st. Cloud for two performances.
After much effort and considerable
persuasion, he finally induced Mana
ging Director cambridge to consent
to the arrangement. And so, instead
of lying idle on Jan. % and 20, the
cambridge Players will appear at the
Sherman Theatre and st. Cloud and
its neighboring towns will be the
gamer.
The visit of the cambridge Play
ers will be made the occasion of ST.
Clouds first Mid-Winter Spoken
Drama Festival. The festival pro-
ject was the principal influence in
getting Mr.. cambridge to bring his
company to St. Cloud.
Both the plays selected for present
alton in St. Cloud have been offered
at the Shubert in Minneapolis within
the past ten weeks and have proved
among the best liked offerings OF
the season there. They are both new
Broadway hits that have been pre-
scented in very few places at less than
$2.10 prices, but which will be offer
ed in st. Cloud at $1.00 top, making
an exceptional theatrical bargain.
Captain Applejack." is from the
pen of Walter Hackett, co-author of
@'It pays to advertise" It ran solid
year each in London and New York,
was one of Broadway's outstanding
hits last season and also boasts long
engagements in Chicago, Philadelphia
and Boston and successful road
tour in the east. 1t is best described
as delightful blend of laughs, thrills,
surprises and romance. The story
tells of young man who, complain
ing of the lack of adventure in his
life, suddenly finds himself plunged
into a red-hot thriller in his own
drawing room. There are crooks,
guns, narrow ecapes from death and
fun, and in one set the timid and re-
pressed English gentlemtn, turned
pirate, lords it over buccanneer
crew, quells a mutiny single-handed
and forces his attentions on beauti-
full captive maiden.

Hardy Varieties Necessary


The seed of any crop is very i'm
portant matter. With no crop is it
more important than with Alfalfa.
This is we'll pointed out in the follow
ing paragraphs from an excellent
bulletin on Alfalfa published by the
Agricultural Extension Division Of
the Minnesota University:
Where Alfalfa fields are to be left
standing for two or three years only,
excellent results may be secured in
many instances from the use of high
grade southern-grown seed, but the
varieties or strains that have shown
their ability to thrive under climatic
conditions similar to those of Mime
sofa should always be given the pref
erence.
Good Seed Cheap
"High priced hardy Grimm Seed,
if you can get the real thing, is cheap
in the long rum" says Mr.. 0. S. Cass
of Sank Centre.
sThe original price is a small mat
ter when you divide it over five or
ten years, which you can easily do II
you get started with the right kind of
Alfalfa seed"
a.
Grimm Alfalfa
Grimm Alfalfa has demonstrated
its superior hardness in this and
other states of similar climatic condl-
lions and in Canada when grown in
the same field with other Alfalfas.
It is very vigorous and early vari-
ETY.. The crown is low and the root
system large with many branch roots.
A very limited amount of Grimm
seed is being produced at the present
time. The superior value of Grimm
Alfalfa has become well known, and
the demand for the seed is far beyond
the supply. The high prices secured
for the seed have made substitutions
frequent.
ANY purchaser who desires to OBJ
tain pure Grimm seed would insist on
having the seed traced back to stands
of Alfalfa obtained from planting
seed from the original Grimm stock
If this information cannot be furnish
ed, the purchaser should not consider
paying any more for it than for any
other northern-grown seed of equal
grade.
If, in the future, Grimm Alfalfa
seed is produced in sufficiently large
quantities to make it obtainable in
large amounts at price slightly in
advance of that of northern-grown
seed of equal grade, it should be used
extensively. With seed Of the Grimm
variety several times the price OF
northern-grown seed of equal grade,
few growers besides those who intend

Northern Grown Alfalfa
Alfalfa, the seed of which was OBJ
tanned from various sources, has been
grown in the Dakotas, Montana and
other northern states for several
years.
Even though the seed sown in these
states was in many instances that OF
the less cold-resistant varieties, the
tenderer plants were and are being
killed, leaving the harder ones to
produce seed. Seed from such fields
is always preferable to seed produced
farther south where practically no
selection has taken place, even though
the source of the original seed was
the very same.
Good Seed Most Important
That every seed will grow and that
there will be freedom from foreign
matter, seeds of noxious weeds, and
adulteration is important.
Fifty per cent or more of yellow
and white sweet clover plants were
found during the year in several
fields where pure Alfalfa seed was
supposed to have been sown. The
sweet clovers are not troublesome
weeds, but the feeding value of sweet
clover hay is less than that of Alfalfa
hay, and sweet clover plants, being
annual or biennial, die at the end of
the first or second year, leaving a
thin stand of Alfalfa.
Dodder is serious weed pest of
Alfalfa. Up to the present time, most
of the Alfalfa grown in Minnesota
has been cut for hay.
Cutting the Alfalfa two or three
times each season prevents dodder
from making Roadway. rs,
Successful seed-production on small
fields throughout the state leads to
the belief that in the future more
acres of Alfalfa will be devoted to
seed-production Where seed-produc-
ton is the end in view, great care
should be exercised not to introduce
dodder in the Alfalfa seed.
Purchase Seed Early
Larger amounts of Alfalfa seed
are being used in Minnesota each
year.
The best is often purchased early
in the winter by discriminating buy
ers. This leaves much Of the poorer
grade and that not adapted to Mime
sofa conditions still on the market in
the spring. Much of this inferior
seed finds its way into the hands OF

to leave their fields standing several
years for seed-production, can afford

It is not at all advisable for those
who cannot procure Grimm seed to
wait until seed of this variety can be
secured at a lower price. Northern
grown seed of several other, varieties
