LeninSrad, Aug. rs CA. L. by
MaiD-For more than so years V. N
Davidov, who recently died, was the
leading comedian of Russia. Most OF
his professional life was passed as a
member. of the AleXandrinsky
Theatre Company in this city. but he
had visited every city in Russia
which was large enough to warrant
the visit of an important dramatic
company. He was the idol of Boil
shevists as we'll as their predeces-
sors. He had also travelled ex-
tensively in other European coun-
tries and was the intimate friend of
many English actors. The Soviet
government conferred the title of
Peoples Artist of the Republic
upon him.
Davidov was representative of
the theatrical tendency in Russia
which sought to combine realistic
acting with careful scenic effects,
and taught for many years in the
Alexandrinsky Dramatic School in
addition to acting. He won his fame
in such PLAYS as Gogors "Revisor
and other classic Russian comedies.

THERE are Gas you probably know only
L two manufacturers who actually build their
cars complete-make all their own bodies, en-

One of these is Ford-in the low priced field.
The other is Studebaker in the fine car field.
This profit principle of manufacture makes
possible four great advantages
I. 1t eliminates the extra profits and overhead
that many other manufacturers have to pay and
include in the purchase price to you. This keeps
Studebaker prices low.
2. 1t enables US to build better car because

Being built as unit-Studebaker cars function
as unit, with all of the advantages of unit over

3. It makes possible finer quality because
Studebaker, being an independent manufacturer
with no subsidiary or allied companies to favor
is free to buy on the open market, demanding
the finest materials at the lowest possible price.
Strdebaker purchasing agents are unrestricted
in their search for quality and value Studebaker
