FOLLIES SCORED
GREAT TRIUMPH
IN NEW YORK CITY

An exceptionally novel and pre-
tentious theatrical event for the Au-
ditorium theatre for one night only,
Tuesday, June 2, is Mister Gallagher
and Mister Shean, those unique and
extraordinary" comedians, in person,
in Americas greatest annual revue,
the Greenwich Village Follies, which
was the outstanding success of this
and last season in the metropolis.
Like other famous and popular Green
witch Village Follies, it offers in
bounteous plentitude gorgeous stage
pictures, beautiful costuming, novel
Ninterludes, new and novel surprises
in individual and ensemble dances, a
persistent vein Of comedy by those
master farceurs, Mister Gallagher
and Mister Sheanc whose whimsical
and humorous pitter-patter and slang
phrases have girded the globe and
become by-words in every country
of the world.
Last season Messrs. Jones and
Green, managing directors of the
Rohemians, Inc. rescued Mr.. Gallag-
her and Mr.. Shean from three
months exile caused by the litiga-
ton between Flo Ziegfeld and the
Messrs. Shubert over the services of
these masters of comedy. The COM
edians could not work for Ziegfeld,
because of an adverse court ruling,
and would not work for the Shuberts
to whom the court awarded their
services. The Bohemians, Inc. spon-
sors for the Greenwich Village Foil
les ended the controversy by pur-
chasing their contract from the Shu-
berts and Immediately Incorporating
them in their annual Greenwich
Village Follies. Immediately this

and the fame of Mr.. Gallagher and
Mr.. Shean flew skyward. At the con-

AUTOMOBILES AREN'T "UN-AMERICAN"

Several eastern universities passing rules against
students having automobiles in the university towns.
If the rule due to local traffic other conditions
to the too frequent abuse of motor for carousng and
immortality, it is understandable.
But if it under the pretense of preventing American
false class distinctions it is nonsense.
In the first place, who shall define unAmerican that
which exists anywhere in America? The visible signs of
differences of wealth may be bad things but they not
''un-American" things.
The student has only to stand any America
and his to observe that they precisely the
most universal and visible thing in America.
And the second place. what is the mental
who thinks automobile mark of exceptional wealth
When many American states have literally auto

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO RUTH BURKE,

Under any other circumstances l
would not have written this to you
at all, because ! really thought it
was the story of some disgruntled
woman who blamed Zoe for her hus-
bands misdemeanor.
All day yesterday l kept it to my
self.
l did not even mention it to Jack.
Now l am sorry that l did this. ::
Sydney Carton came over yestef-
day noon to be our house guest for
few days. wanted to confide in
Sgd and ask his advice about this
letter from mother, but somehow it
did not seem right to give it even
a second thought, because / could
not make it fit in with what l knew
of Zoe and her love and care for
my children and her devotion to me.
AS l have told you before, have
never known face that expressed
such madonna-like purity or smile
that expressed such sweetness.
/ wish now that l had talked to
Sgd.
But to get on with my story.
Last night l was sitting alone
with Sydney Carton in the library,
Jack having been detained at the
office. Zoe had taken Little Jack and
the baby upstairs some time before

New York, June lit is noon. The
human ants are swarming out of
great honeycombed piles of brick,
out of the darkness into the soft
sunlight. Pell-mell they rush to
lunch counters and settle down be-
fore their food, enlarged insects de-
vouring enlarged crumbs.
Then the curbs are lined with
them, basking in the suns warmth
and comfortable with filled stomachs,
looking at their watches and count
ing the minutes until they must re-
turn to the great brick ant-hills and
resume the daily grind.
There before millinery shop are
clustered female of the species, their
stomachs not so full that their
purses may be the fuller to purchase
new hat or some bright badge to
set them off from their sisters in the
throng. The age-old striving for indi-
viduality, for petty distinction.
And there before another window
another cluster watching a monkey
in a cage, cutting didoes to attract
attention. He, too, seeks individual
ity-and achieves it.
Goldfish lazy about in bowl.
Pampered things, doing nothing to
earn their living except to show off
their gaudy bodies, to please their
vainglorious keepers. There's a hu-
man parallel, too, but we'll pass it.
And here in the corner is cage of
white mice. The cage spins around
in mad whirligig. Around and
around it flies, the little white
things chasing each other to the end
Of the cage, only to find there is no
end. Futility!
Men and women press their faces
to the window to watch the mice.
They smile at the little fools in their
cages, laugh at their futility. But
here is one sharp-eyed, wrinkled lit
tie man in shabby clothes who does
not laugh. He seems in a brown

recognized Biblical scholars, and
most of the distinguished clergymen
of most Of the Christian denomina-
tions would be expelled from their
churches on the ground that they
are not Christian.
Certainly, Dean Inge, one of the
highest dignitaries of the Church Of
England, would have to 60. He said,
just before leaving, that he had
heard little of Fundamentalism while
in America, because he had associ-
ated mostly with intelligent people.
If this faction is in the majority, and
has historic doctrine on it's side, it
has the theoretical right to say that
those who wish to preach modern
doctrine must be driven out to found
new churches to do it in.
That might even be a good thing.
But the price of it would be the des-
truction of great historic institu
tions.

study as he peers into the window
With a sudden start he pulls out his
watch and nudges the man next to
him. They look at the watch and
hurry away. Others glance at their
watches, turn on their heels and
walk away.
Back they go to the piles of brick.
White mice in cage running on
to an endless end.
White men in their cages running
their own treadmills, as unwilling as
the little white mice.
And so passes the noon hour for
one to whom the New York looking
glass reflects images of insects and
animals in the shape of humans.

l think Sgd had the same feeling,
for we both sat silently listening
unashamed. Truly, Ruth, felt
that Zoe was in trouble and wanted
to help. Also I could not get the
letter from mother out of my mind.
Zoe's conversation was all mega

We heard the click as the re-

she went up the staircase to her

in one church, there are others. But
if science can not be taught in the
schools of state, there is nowhere
else to teach it.
1t is therefore fortunate that the
Tennessee law has attracted so
much attention. A test case will de-
termine whether bald liberalism shall
compulsorily supplant the consensus
of informed conclusion.
If it does, it should be also nee
essary to teach that the sun moves
around the EARTH, that the earth is
square, and has roof over it; that
insanity is a demoniac possession,
and that witchcraft must be punish
able by death.
Taken with the same absurd liter
alness, the Bible teaches all these
things. Astronomy and penology
are forbidden, as well as evolution.
Let Mr.. Bryan, and his cohorts,
have the courage of their convictions
and demand these things, too.

POETS CORNER
THE AUTO CARAVAN
Rv E1Orauco ROrnor

by rlOTeUce OOTueC
From Maine to California,
The autoes come and go,
From lands of brightest sunshine,
To lands of ice and snow;
The poor and modest fiivver,
The costly limousine,
Keep going ever onward,
And form an endless line.
We know more of our neighbors,
Than we had known before,
Since autoes by the thousands,
Have brought them all next door;
Each day we're rubbing elbows,
With folks from every state,
While hearing homely phrases,
And language most sedate.
Oh, who would envy Midas,
With all his hoard of gold,
When one can be member,
OF caravan so bold;
1t seeks the hidden places,
And claims them for its own,
While Distance fees before il.
And calls no place its home.
Adenture beckons to US,
We mount our magic steeds,
Fleet as the winds of heaven,
We follow where she leads;
No fears can ever daunt US,
No troubles cause dismay,
The Auto stands before US,
So hurry, and away!
The rich man and the poor man,
The young man and the old,
The careful and the reckless,
The timid and the bold;
The touring car and roadster,
The coupe ;}ad sedan.
All help to make that endless train

CIRCUS RIDERS
OFFER TO RIDE
ANY, WILD BRONCO

In these days of the. rodeo, wild
west riding, bucking bronchos and
aspiring daredevil performers it is
interesting to note that the Robbins
Bros. circus, which lis to show
in Bismarck on June 10, has issued
a challenge accompanied with a $lO0
bill, that if anyone here has an out
law horse which they think cannot
be ridden to bring said horse to the
circus lot and if one of the cowboys
of the show cannot successfully ride
the animal and subdue him, the own
'er of the outlaw will be given the
500. This is bonafide offer.
The show carries with it fifty
cowboys and fifty Indians. The cow
boys are headed by the famous ro-
deo expert, Ponca Bill with his Wild
West and Congress Of Rough Riders.
Miss Lulu p. Parr, the worlds
greatest girl broncho buster will
give daily an exhibition Of her
ability.
There must be some wild horses
in this country that have not been
subdued or ridden and here is a
chance to pick mp some easy money.
