EDWARD DOUGLAS
WILL Be SEEN IN
BLOSSOM Time
FavOrite Light Opera viii
Return to EngIiSh'S
Thursday.

Edward Douglas, the rolypoly
comedian, now appearing as Krantz,
the Crown Jeweler, in the farewell
tour Of Blossom Time" coming to
the English Opera House, for a
three nights engagement commence
ing Thursday evening, Dec. 16, is
like a great many of his ilk, al
though it is his duty to make people
laugh he would much rather be seen
on the stage in the parts that would
bring tears to the eyes of the audi
ence, but unfortunately for him the
producing managers are not of the
same opinion.
From his infancy he has been a
great reader and student of the
higher art, the deep tragedies of the
stage and all things except the art
of trying to be funny. and every
time he has applied for a position
among the various managers, they
have always laughed at him, and
said, What, you? Why, you are a
fat little comedian" AS he says, 1T
sure is a true saying, Nobody loves
a fat man. His only hope is now
that authors and managers are go
ing more for type actors than they
did in the past, there may be some
day an author who will. in a wild
and weird moment, write a tragic
part for a fat man. and If he does,
Douglas will be found camping on
his doorstep, in the wee small hours
Of the morning.
However, Douglas should feel
proud that he was chosen for the
comedy role in Blossom Time" for
he is following some pretty good
comedians in William Danforth and
Teddy Webb.

Refexing the Cylinders.

Radio is teaching motordom some
new tricks. and one of them has enor-
nous possibilities.
In radio three tubes can be made to
do the work of Ave. through process
known as ref1exing. In motordom,
sidered preferable to four, and eight to
six.
Why not reflex?
This is just exactly what some of
the leaders are thinking about. A
six that would do the work Of an
eight of equal bore and stroke, and
be just as smooth. would be a knock
out. A four that could substitute for
an eight would be revolutionary.
Increased. or rather renewed. in
terest In twO-cycle engines ties up
with this idea of refexing. In two
cycle engines, once popular, the
pistons are powered every time they
travel down. In the four-cycle type
now universally used there is a power
push on a piston only on every other
downward trip.
Reflect upon this. The great ad-
vantage of an eight is the larger
number Of piston pushes. There are
no dead moments in the propulsion
Of the crankshaft; there being con-
slant overlapping double push. But
there are dead strokes in SO far as the
pistons are concerned.
1t is to eliminate dead strokes that
the two-cycle engine is being expert
mented with again. II the pistons Of
four cylinders pushed every time they
went down something on the order
of eight-cylinder power and smooth
ness would be the result. This, of
course. assumes efficiency in the
handling Of unburned and burned
gases.
