Uproarous Comedy Id Billed for To day and Tomorrow. In "He Was Only a Bathing Suit Salesman," Harry Myers has pro duced a comedy which is distinctively out of t.ho ordinary. First of all, it is an artistic triumph for Mir. Myers, from subtitles to locations. The ac tion is fast and furious and it is staged in unusual surroundings. The comedy is not confined to park bench sets or hackneyed backgrounds but in its three reels takes us from Washington to Baltimore, to Phila delphia, and then back to New York. the White House as a setting, others with the Capitol in the background, while others show us the streets of the Monument City, where visitors are led around the fire area, to Poe's grave and to the hallowed spot whore the lust: Democratic convention was held. Then we are whisked into Phil lie, the home of "Home Run" Baker, Connie Mack and, ithe Liberty Bell when the latter is at .home. We no-' company a fickle traveling salesman on hlB peregrinations around the cir cle and we meet 'all the young ladies whom a progressive traveling sales man is wont to meat We see him conducting a school of diving girls, are permitted to enter the pool and demonstrating parlor where exceed ingly buxom blondes and sylph-like nymphs try cn 'bathing suits, and we ;re admitted to a vijpw of the soles man's home life.

"Father and the Boys" Will Be at the Arcade Soon. .America's forejneslt humorist, George Ade, wrote "Father and the Boys," the five-reel Universal photo play which comes to the Arcade soon. Digby Bell, who plays the leading role in the production, has been known to theatregoers as a polished come dian since 1870. To those who decry the old school of ucting his work in "Father and the Boys" is a revelation. "Father and the Boys" is George Ade's funniest play. It was directed by Joseph Do Grasse at Universal City, California, the only actually in corporated moving picture municipal ity in the world. Adv. The Hubit of Taking Cold.

If I am not that al together deplorable crcaturu, a mnn without a country, t a in, when it comes to pull and prestige, almost equally bereft, as I inn u man without a state. I was lioru In Indiana, I grew up In 1111. pels. 1 was educated in libode Island, and it Is no blame to that scholarly community thut 1 know so little. 1 learned my law In Springfield and my politics In Washington, my diplomacy In Europe, Asia and Africa. I have a farm 'in New Hampshire and desk room In the District of Columbia. ' When 1 look to tbe springs from which my blood descends tbe first an cestors I ever beard of were a Scotch man who was half English and a Ger man womnn who was half French. Of my Immediate progenitors my mother was from New England and my father was from the south. In this bewilder ment of origin and experience I can only put on an aspect of deep humility In any gathering of favorite sons and confess (but. 1 am nothing bnt an American. From "Tbe Life and Let ters of John Hay" In Harper's Maga zine. Edison's Incandescent. AramlUis to o friend, Thomas A.

He lived in a small bouse, innocent of any thing iippronching a laboratory. Scien tific devices were In every room, and all the money went for experiments. Then ouo day came the crisis In tbe guise of tbe collector for the gas com pany, lie bad been in tbe bouse of ten, but Edison, hardly heeding his calls, hud waved blm away, saying, 'Don't bother me!' "On this last call the collector's In structions were peremptory, lie most turu off the-gns. He did so, and that act started Edison on the road to the incandescent light." Thumbnail Fairy Tale.
