Anne Nichols famous comedy hit, is
to play at the Arcadia tkeater in Har-
lingen today. An engagement Of two
days, Oct. II and Is, will be played
at the Palace in McAllen.
"Abie's Irish Rose" is one Of those
plays which wins through its bright
and witty lines, funny situations and
simple appealing love story, which is
above all coherent and wonderfully
human.
IL was built for laughing purposes
and that il has succeeded in accom-
plishing the result at which its au-
thor aimed can be attested to by the
more than ten millions of people who
have witnessed il one or more times
in the last two years.
As an establisher of lengthy runs
and financial returns, its equal has
never been known en- theatrical his
tory, as the few engagements it has
played below mentioned will verify.
Just think, if you can, of any play
which has been ol1ered at one the
atre in any one or the cities below
and has played the number of con
secutive weeks this perennial wonder
has.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, October 26.-Mrs
Ella A. Boole, national president of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
last night accused Gov Alfred E. Smith
OF seeking to undermine prohibition
and bring back his old love-the liquor
traffic" in announcing the policy of the
national temperance organization to be
adopted in its final drive for the "elec-
ton OF Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis"
Mrs. Boole spoke before the conven-
ton Of the Illinois w. C. r. U.
The national temperance leader said
Gov. Smith at no time had stated his
opposition ito the evils that accom-
panied the liquor traffic when 1t was
legalized when he stated his position
on prohibition"
WAS Friend of Saloon
In those days he was the friend of
the saloon, the beneficiary of it's political
influence and leader against all eff
forts to protect women and children
from its effects.
Now he ascribes to the law all the
evils that are the result of its violation"
Mrs. Boole, outlining Gov Smiths
plan for State supervision of localized
liquor said "he talks loosely when he
says he would safeguard against the
return of the saloon, for the expert
ence in Canada has shown that in
some of the provinces the beer parlor
and wine parlor are already provided
for.
Gov. Smith does not believe that all
hard liquor will be driven out of the
country by beer and light Wines" Mrs.
Boole said
Gov. Smith makes a definite charge
OF corruption of the Washington police
In which he says that in a single year
one-third of the police were up before
the officials charged with drunkenness
answering this statement, the w. C. T
Y. leader read letter from Edwin B
Hesse, superintendent of police for the
District of Columbia. in which he said
In 1927 out of 1,347 members of the
police force only % were tried for
drunkenness and charges against six
Of these were dismissed
Hits Smith Stand.
"In an equally loose manner" Mrs
Boole said, Gov Smith speaks of
drinking among young people. The
new freedom OF youth, in which they
copy the excuses of their elders is to
De deplored, as is the fact that certain
society leaders continue to serve in
toxicating liquors.
The fact is, Gov. Smith is not seek
ing to make prohibition a success, his
object; is to undermine it; to bring
