~ HE holiday season with its fes-
| tivities and merriment brings the
best of toothsome goodies to the
fore. Shelled and salted nuts, glace
fruits and nuts constitute the more
distinctive type of sweetmeat. When
purchased in attractively decorated
tin boxes, they make excellent indi-
vidual gifts. When serving sweets,
these glace fruits and nuts make this
service a pleasure.
Glace fruits are so easily damaged
in appearance by the ordinary paste
board box that the tin container is a
real necessity. 1t is strong and tight,
keeping the fruits i'll all the delicious
juiciness that is their best quality
No danger of shrunken, wrinkled
skins and gummy sugar coatings.
These fruits are crisply coated out
side and lusciously fresh within. Glace
nuts, too, are best when kept in these

Letters to Santa Claus

With only four days remaining until
Christmas, the number of letters to
Santa Claus is increasing. The Doug
las Dispatch is publishing only such
Santa Claus letters as are believed to
be genuine letters from children. A
few letters have come in which OBJ
viousIy are written by much older
children and contain a satirical note.
Remember, the children believe in
Santa Claus, and it is these letters
that the Dispatch will endeavor to
publish.

Give real Christmas gift.
child!
Let Santa Claus bring to your
fireside something that Will renew
faith, youth and interest in life. Let
old Chris bring to some child of
the Arizona Children's Home the
biggest and best gift possiblc--a
home and parents.
The Arizona Childrens Home is
only a temporary abiding place for
children who are left alone in the
world without parents and provi-
sion for their lives. The speciality
of the organization is to seek homes,
suitable homes, for the children
BY suitable homes is certainly
meant a place where the adopted
parent may become a real parent in
spirit of loving interest and kind
ness, where education and personal
welfare VIII be paramount in the
minds of the adults, where rea1iza-
tion that the greatest gift of all is
giving opportunities to child.
The children's home at the pres
ont time is making an appeal to the
state for homes for several children.
,Inere are three DrlSht American
boys, brothers, Z, 8 and II years of
age, who want homes together, if
possible. There are two other lads,
not related, who are and IL years
old, who also want homes. There
are only two girls for adoption just
now and they are z and years old.
All these are of American parentage.
The officials of the home ask that
applications for adoption be asked
for at 80 East Pennington, Tucson.

you remember I journed to Chicago
10, see Candida" with Miss Wood
and Mr.. Farley. Stuart Walker
has brought to Indianapolis more of
the original New York cast than
Chicago had. This is an accomplish
ment and much more so we realize
that some mighty lofty spiritual
and mental acting is being repealed
upon Keith's stage this week.
In assembling this cast, Stuart
Walker has given Indianapolis one
of George Bernard Shaw's pleasant
plays, done in such exquisite
charm and feeling that It becomes
one Of those remarkable experiences
which 1--WE so seldom have in the
theater.
Here rs a pleasant and thoughtful
product Of the stage which has
marvellous charm OF feeling as well
as laughter. Here is noe Of the most
beautiful performances I have seen
in my experiences Of telling you
about the theater. 1t is a gem, an
entertainment diamond made more
brilliant with ats setting of stars.
Miss Wood brings that needed
quality of realism as we'll as dream
life to the role Of Candida. Candida
is a very much alive person as
played by Miss Wood. Candida UNI
derstands. She knows that her
husband is just a boy and she
knows that Eugene Marchbanks IS
a dreamer and at times a very bad
boy.
Candida seems TO have all the
human wisdom Of the world IN her
pretty head. Candida becomes a
powerful and towering character as
played by. Miss Wood. When my
list of the ten best performances Of
the season is made. I will include
Miss Woods Candida.
AS I told you last fall about the
work OF Morgan Farley as Eugene.
I will repeat one thought-Mr. Far
ley IS giving the stage one Of the
most delightfully."- difficult characteri-
cations that the stage possesses. He
has been marvelously successful In
this role. A great { artist IS this
man.
It is now history that Elizabeth
Patterson triumphed in the wee part
Of the typist. In the champagne
souse scene In the last act when
Prosey is afraid to trust herself with
anybody but herself. Miss Patter-
son triumphs as only a great artist
can.
Richie Ling is a solid and careful
Burgess who knsws the fine art Of
comedy shading, especially in the
first act. Elliot Cabot is not my
choice for a satisfactory Morell. HIS
greatest difficulty is to pronounce
his words with sufficient clearness.
He knows the depths OF the role.
but he IS not careful enough in the
projecting the words of Shaw. He
looks the part. Jack Storey IS an
accurate the Rev. Alexander Mil.
am sure that you will agree with
me that Candida" Is one of the
rare delights of the season.
At B. f. Keith's all week.

exceptionally good looking young

smoothly along with many fine dance
and song numbers.
The girls have a good formation

best in his eccentric dances.
There are many men on the stage
who impersonate women. and do it
in a fine way, but 1t is seldom that
we find a woman impersonating men
and getting anywhere at all. Jane

with a song, quickly tells her audi

Insanity. If the playwrights would
discover Just how intelligent an au-
dience really is they would not be
giving happy, insane endings to their
plays. An audience does appreciate
the truth upon the stage.
Ethel Westcourt stayed home in
her rich house out of New York for
twenty years. While she stayed
home, her husband, under the ex-
cuse of business, was having a gay
affair with a regular New York gold
digger. Also Kittens, the daughter,
was going a foolish mile a minute
gait. Mother was left at home for
twenty years while the two other
members Of the family were having
a gay time.
Then mother decided to find out
what was going on in the night
clubs and when mother got started
she stayed started. Why should
she return home when the other two
members saw what was happening?
She shouldn't and she didn't.
She left her family fiat and started
to Europe without 'em. And 1t
served the whole lot jolly well right.
II mother had returned home and
had received the gay and silly prom
Use that her husband, and daughter
would be angels, from then on moth
err would have been a sap" and
she knew It. And so mother went
merrily on her dancing way.
OF course this play gives Miss
