The Critic

u ducer tells Britishers thru an inter-
view in London newspaper that Amer

Which is all very well from the play
producers standpoint, for American critics
have fallen into the unpleasant habit of
telling the truth about plays.
Perhaps criticism is being overdone, but
if il shortens the life of one smutty play
or lengthens the run of an excellent pro-
duction, il has justified itself.

Super Crooks

TT is doubtful whether there ever was

Conan Doyle on notwithstanding.
There have been crooks who have died

been the chances of fate and the blunder
of detectives.
A really great mind cannot be kept hid

A Good Bill

CoV. AL SMITH. of New York, has
VI signed bill making il unlawful for
any hack driver TO cast any reflections on
the hotel TO which his passenger is being
taken, unless the reflections can be proved.
Which should go far toward putting an
end to an evil practice. In New York il
is not uncommon for drivers to be paid
by certain hotels TO knock their COM
petitors and boost their own merits,
As no sef-respecting driver or hotel
would be party to such an arrangement,
the new law no doubt will be welcomed by
both.

a MERICA leads the world in the per-
n centage of divorces.
Yet divorce is just as easy in other
countries.
Americans religions are more opposed
to divorce than many other nations.
America is more prosperous, and life
should be happier here.
Perhaps the solution lies in mob psy-
chology.
In America the nature thing, i. e..
what the member of the mob does, is to
get divorce with the first strain on the
love tie. Yet the nature thing in other
countries is to attempt to relieve the
strain.

CARVETH WELLS. f. r. c. s., explorer
~ and lecturer is now in the country
telling of his six years of strange adven-
ture in the jungles of the Malay penin-
sula.
There's fish down there, he says that
climbs trees and comes out on the beach
TO play. Tickle il under the tummy and
il swells up like toy balloon and bounds
up and down for JOY.
There's another variety of fish, says he,
that winks its eye precisely like drug
store cowboy. In fact, it's the most ter
rible flirt. And there's real live Teddy
Bear only 10 inches high.
Also there's species of deer measur-
ing just seven inches from hoof TO horn
when full grown, and lizard that merrily
flips off its tail at will just like a man
cracks whip.
Lastly, there's bird that sleeps stand
ing on its head and monkey that washes
its teeth after every meal and before
going to bed at night. Incidentally, he
drops a hint to the manufacturers of pat
ent tooth brushes and mouth wash. For
this hygienic monkey now uses his right
forefinger instead of brush and water
from the nearest stream for gargle.
Looks like an opportunity for an enter
prising salesman, tho perhaps he might
have to take coocanuts in exchange.
At last we are beginning to reap the
benefits of prohibition. A few years ago
no lecturer would have dared, but now
such things can be told.
