Meyers as the. explosive, . pnwlelding senior partner ia the pill firm, George Nettleon--and Wayne Harris, as the uncontalned "equally Import ant T. Roggs Johns, had an even draw. Both "were 'far-out of the field of Jutenlle actors; both car ried sophisticated roles with a readiness that belied their years. The wonderfully expressive facial acting of Mr. Harris was equalled onlyiby-Hhes.8tage-poise of Mr. Meyers.,, Ezra Webb, as Krome, the-office assistant, and John Creech, as Jimmy, the office boy, made distinct hits with the audience in two outstanding background roIeB. A number of moments of which splendid advantage was taken were . given for real act ing. Homer Richards as Tony Toler, Leroy Grote as Samuel Applegate, and James Campbell as the ship ping clerk filled the roles that bound the elements of the play together, as far as the business side, was concerned? Ethelma Ed wards, the determined and off times, hysterical wife of Mr. Net tlettm, likewise carried her part through with some creditable acting, v None of the group oncer went beyond bounds into the theatrical. Perhaps ' one of the most remarkable roles of all was that taken by Julia Query, who fUled the - part of Coddles, the! English maid, who was delicious with her accent and her shuffle. Large credit for the success of the event -goes to the director Perry. Preacott ,Reigelman who brought the comedy to the heights it attained. Jlorrrer Richards acted as gene ral manager of the play, while Jack Spang, assisted by, Ralph Wilson, handled the advertising. Property . manager was William Sisson, while Mary Cupper was in charge of the wardrobe. Leroy Grote took charge, of the candy sale which, was featured between acts. Rewards for-Revealing .

SBE5 In certain remote sections of West Virginia there is no liking for auttunobilists, as wao evidenc ed in the case of a Washingtonian who was motoring in a sparsely settled region of the state. This gentleman was haled be fore a local magistrate upon the complaint of a constable. The Uuagistrate. a good-natured man. was not. however, absolutely cer tain that the Washingtonian's car had been driven too "fast; and the owner stoutly insisted that he had been progressing at the rate of only Fix miles an hour. "Why. your Honor," he said. my engine was out of order, an.l I was going very slowly because I was afraid it would break down completely. I give you my word, sir, you could have walked as fast as I was running." ' "Well." said the magistrate, af ter due reflection, "you don't ap pear to have been exceeding the tpeed limit, but at the same time you must have been 'guilty of something, or you wouldn't b here.
