THE mystic world of make believe
in which the theatre live9 has
something about it which appeals to
all mankind. The Savages in the
wilderness with their stories of ad
venture and death, the religious fan
atics of the Middle Ages, with their
miracle plays, the Chinese of today,
in which men play all the parts and
follow an elaborately artificial ritual
and the great American public scat
tered from the smallest villages to
the largest cities all have had a com
mon interest in the play.
Never more, than in this year of
1027, has the play held the center of
the stage, both figuratively nad liter
ally. In selecting the plays for the pres
entation this year, the management
has tried to secure a balance by hav
ing one play a romantic love story,
while the other is primarily an ad
venture. "Believe Me Xantippe" is the one
that deals with adventure. It tells
the story of a young man who was
tired of his useless life in the city,
who had more money than he knew
what to do with and who was seeking
adventure. As a result of a bet with
two of his friends, one of them a
lawyer, the other a chief of detectives,
he dropped out of sight mysteriously
to spend a year as a fugitive from
justice. His bet was that he could
elude the law for that length of time.
He shows up later in the wildest
parts of the western wilderness,
where he meets the first girl in his
life that ever made his heart skip a
beat. She makes it skip in both di
rections because he falls in love with
her and she, being a deputy sheriff,
takes him prisoner. He escapes and
rescues her from a western gunman,
who finally gets a drop on both of
them and but to go on would be to
give the story ahead of time.
There are almost as many thrills
in "Believe Me Xantippe" as there
are in some of the serials that are
featured by the cinema houses. Then,
there are plenty of laughs as the hap
less young fugiitve from justice tries
to extricate himself from his diffi
culties. Finally, there is the romantic
interest of the rich young society man
and the courageous girl from the
western plain.
"Believe Me Xantippe" has all the
essentials of a successful stage pro
duction. It abounds in color, in swift
action, good dialogue, ridiculous
comedy, and strong heart appeal.
Like all Chautauqua plays, "Be
lieve Me Xantippe" is clean from
start to finish, and not a line in it
could give offense to the most par
ticular. The Chautauqua movement is
doing more to furnish good plays to
communities which otherwise could
not see plays at all or could see only
those which depend on appeals to pas
rion or prejudice to secure their
crowds. In many cities, the Chau
tauqua has come to be looked upon as
the successor of the Opera House of
thirty years ago. Few good play com
panies can afford to tour the country
with the modern expense of tranapor
tation, but the Chautauqua overcomes
this by having an assured crowd ev
ery day in the week.
"Believe Me Xantippe" has a mem
orable record of Broadway success
hack of it. It made good in other
metropolitan cities and has proved its
right to a key position on this year's
Chautauqua program.
No Vacation For Your
Sanitary Conscience
From State Board of Health.
Vacation time is here, and once
again the call of the great outdoors
is heard. The mountains, the rivers,
the lakes, and the seashore are cast
ing their magic spells. He is indeed
beyond redemption who does not fall
a willing victim to their enchantment.
The lure of lavish nature has in it
the promise of mental as well as phy
sical reawakening. Those who an
swer her call must leave the cares
and worries of their everyday lives
behind. He obtains most from his va
cation period who least heeds the de
mands of civilization.
There is one demand of civilization,
however, which cannot be overlooked
for its neglect leads to illness, dis
ease nad even death. SANITATION
must follow man wherever he goes.
In order to enjoy a vacation to tha
utmost one must bring along his san
itary conscience; for unlike cares and
worries, one's sanitary conscience
cannot safely be left at home.
A person who brings his sanitary
conscience along will see to it that all
his excreta and wastes are properly
disposed of, in order that they may
not endanger the comfort and health
of others. He will use great care in
the choice of his drinking water. He
will drink water of questionable pur
ity only after it has been boiled or
has been chemically treated. He will
protects his food supplies from flies
and rodents.
If the vacationist is a tourist his
sanitary conscience will demand that
when he stops at a tourist camp he
stop at one which has been approved
by the state board of health. His san
itary conscience, moreover, will
prompt him to help keep the camp in
a clean, orderly, and sanitary condi
tion. Should he run over to the sea
shore his sanitary conscience rebels
against promiscuous dumping of gar
bage or waste of any kind upon the
beach. That which he would not do
at home his sanitary conscience would
not permit him to do away from home,
Vacation time is here, and once
again the call of the great outdoors
is heard. When you take to the road
be sure that your sanitary conscience
accompanies you.
