II HERE was such satisfying
III nicely to the presentation Of
THE Rivals" by Mrs. Fiske
and assisting stars that the engage
ment will be considered a rare treat.
My attention has been called to the
fact that was either wrong or over
enthusiastic when / pleaded for ca
pacity at all performances. Those
who are opposite me in my conten-
ton admit that the performance de-
served capacity. but that Indianapo-
lis did give Mrs. Fiske the most
profitable engagement that she has
ever had here OF late years. That
is true. When 1 urge capacity, 1t is
not that my motive is to fill the till
with money SO that the management
will be happy. but my object is that
the vacant seats represent to me
just so many people who missed one
of the most enjoyable experiences
that the theater has TO offer. 1t has
been pointed out to me that THE
Music Box" "Ziegfeld Follies" and
numerous other big revues natural
ly expect capacity because this line
of entertainment is a highly mar
ketable product. I will grant all of
that 1.-The Rivals" may be called by
some "class entertainment" but any
play that has lived $50 years GER
tainly is something more than mere
entertainment. But I am happy
that SO many people did see and
laugh at and with THE Rivals" 1t
brought us back to the old days
when people applauded long and
earnestly. One night during the en-
gagement I visited all three floors
of the theater. There was not ca
pacity, but near capacity, on each
floor. Lon Adams, that veteran who
receives tickets at the main door,
Tells me that many people who only
10 to one or two shows a year
showed up for THE Rivals" The
older generation turned out in large
numbers. I also believe that x Mrs.
Fiske had been booked for week
instead of three days she would have
been playing to capacity at least by
Thursday night The success of this
engagement argues well against the
story that we are a bad show town.

DOES IT PAY?

Some years ago the question, "Does Advertising Pay?" was fruit full topic for discussion among busi- ness men. Today it would be diffi- cult to find any to take the negative side of the argument, the only point left for decision now being that of how to advertise most effectively.
 By a careful check-up of results obtained, through surveys by many business associations and advertising experts lately, it has been demon strated quite conclusively that talk en as a general proposition the news paper is the most economical and effective medium.
 Not only is this true with respect to retail advertising, but it has been found that the newspapers give for better results than any other form of publicity when used for state and community promotion. California and Florida have proven this most conclusively and they are backing their faith in newspapers by plan ming to spend large sums with them during the next few months than ever before.
 Florida cities alone will spend $4,- 5OO,OO0 for advertising, mostly in newspapers, this fall and winter, not including the vast sums to be spent by individual concerns in the same way. Everyone knows by this time what advertising has done for Flor ida.

Havana pro poses to spend s3O0,00O to attrac American tourists and investors Alabama is launching a state-wid' campaign suggested by the stat' press association.
 These are only few of the hun dreds of promotion movements nov under way, which it is estimated vii involve expenditures of $15,O00,O for state and municipal advertisinj alone during the next twelve months The bulk of these appropriations vii be spent with newspapers. And will pay.

It is the Ameri- can mass ideal to have everything cut by a single die. It does not make any difference to have the ending un- natural so long as it is cut by the die.
 We do not pretend to say that this is not the best way in the long run, but we do say that when we see fea- ture end in natural way, but quite different from the accepted standard it is stimulating and makes the pict- ure stand out as something worth see ing if for no other reason than be- cause it is queer.

MUSCLE SHOALS BIDS

 Chairman Mckenzie recently ex- pressed his personal avervion to gov- ernment operation of the project, ex- cept such a course proved necessary in order to insure fertilizer produc- tion, and other members of the com- mittee appear to hold the same view.

THE BANQUET TABLE.

Had I but known yesterday The kind of feast you fashion, I should not have partaken Of your love and passion. The banquet hall is silent Wherein we laughed and ate; Today loves bitter ashes Lie scattered on your plate. Last night the wine was mellow, The gleaming goblet filled; But now the glass is broken, The amber wine is spilled. An. then the trays were heavy, Love played his part; Today I find no crust, no crumb, To feed my hungry heart. Today, tonight, tomorrow,
 All tomorrows after that; BeggarIike, I seek for morsels From the table where you sat.
