Phillips Holmes and Mary Car lisle have the romantic leads with Ed. ward Arnold, whose work In the re cent Joan Crawford picture, "Sadie McKee," won him the reputation of being the screen's leading "show stealer," In the leading role. The story concerns a young mil lionaire, whose Idea of having him self kidnaped to 'forestall hla moth er's marriage, results In amazing com plications. Arnold Is the cx-racketeer and beer baron, trying to go straight, who falls in with Holmes' Idea, only to find himself on the spot when former henchmen try to muscle In and share In the spoils, not realizing the entire kidnaping la ft hoax.

This unusual demonstration of the "iron horse" of the farm was made in connection with Ohio State Potato Field Day sponsored by the state of Ohio and held at Harvey S. Firestone's "Old Homestead," a farm of 640 acres at Columbiana, Ohio on Thursday, September 20. The many advantages of rubber tired equipment were, demonstrated in digging potatoes In the 62-acre irrigated potato paten, which is one of the largest in Ohio. It is estimated that the cnop will yield 20,000 bushels. During the day demonstrations were given on all types of farm implement equipped with low pressure rubber tires. In fact, it is predicted that in the near future all sections of the country will be benefited by the greater efficiency and economy in farm operations due to the Firestone development of these new tires for agricultural implements.

No. a Forces, often unseen and but Uttle reckoned with, move men from place to place. By some chance that X can not explain, our company never went east further than Philadelphia. And so. we never played in New York state. In the early days there were companies that made reputations and fortunes but never appeared la New York City. When Emma Abbott died her fortune waa close to the million mark. The Bostonlana did not ap pear in New York City until they were compelted to do so with "Robin Hood" under a contract with DeKoven Other producere that met with great success on the road were Orau. Baker. Andrews, DoShon and Aborn. Oft the actora, young Ezra Kendall had acquired literally millions of root- era In the west before he came, a middle-aged man, to New York. And Harry Bere&ford, too, who eucceeded to Roland Reed's place In comedy. Oc casionally I met Harry on tour In the three decades that ha trouped. muoh of the time under John Coleman'a or Henry Savatre'a direction. Thirty-five years sgo our profes sional paths crossed at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Already he waa playing eineny leada. He had come upon little bok entitled "Papa Bouchard," written by. Molly Elliott Sewail. at that period one of Amcrlca'a popular authors. Harry waa carried away by thl French story of a quaint old Parla lawyer. and waa bent on crashing New York's Broadway with It, but hla quandary was that Miss Seawell'a dramatization of It had been read and found Impos sible. I told him that I knew at Burling ton, only a few hours ride from Cedar Raplda, a young dramatic writer who could do a creditable Job of It and gave him a letter of Introduction. He sent Arkmlller, hla road manager, to Burlington that night, with the book. Six weeka later the new dramatization, accepted by Bereaford, waa in the hands of Mr. Coleman, who sent at once to Washington to bargain with Miss 8eawell for the dramatic rlnhts But the lady Insisted on production of her own version of the play or nothing: and she stood pat. "Papa Bouchard" has never been produced It was not until 1034 that Bereaford reachod Broadway In "Shavings" and "The Old Boak." Writing to ms he said: "Strange It la that for thirty years I've been doing bottr work on tho road, and only now Broadway has dis covered me." Yea, after the spoken drama had failed. In Hollywood, whtre ha now does some rare bits In ptC' tures, they will probably discover his genius . . after the show is closed.

It stood on a sidetrack and wu aurrounded by a milling crowd. n slde wa a gentleman known to tae early medicine industry as "Diamond Dtck." ThU car, I have always be lieved, turned our heads a little to one side and led us away from the true path of the pioneer. Diamond Dick was one of the Old Masters in the show business. Like Mr. Barnum, he had an uncanny un derstanding of the plain people of an era before the term "psychic" came Into common usage. He hao fixed up an office in one end of the car ana next to It a little dark room with a peep-hole through which he could both see and hear what took place In the reception room, where the pi-! tlerrta were received and questioned by J hla assistant. When the patient had disgorged all of the facte nece&sary for a scenario, Dick proceeded to put on the play. Usually he entered quietly at the front door and, without preliminaries, ne would describe In detail the patient's troubles, whether bronchial, cranial, pedal, abdominal, or what not, and thereupon dispense hla wonder potljn at the reasonable price of one dollar per bottle. He wasted neither time nT effort, and he made a treat deal or money. In hla particular line, Dick! like Harry Wilson's Mr. Sooner Jack-1 eon, was the "superb gazookus." But he had a fatal weakness. He would go on spending sprees. On the installment plan he had bought the car from a wealthy widow, Mrs. Tuch. and found himself broke so much of the time that he was unable to py ' the installments. The result waa that! the widow took the car away from I him and sold It to us for spot cash, j It la probable the Andrews Opera ! Company was the first on record to take its organization In a private car and go for an entire vacation st the northern lakes. We spent the nsxt three months fishing and dawdling at lake resorts In northern Michigan, oc casionally itnglng an opera, by Invi tation, at some of the mall towns where they tendered us an auditorium and a profitable audience. From the middle eighties, for about twenty years there was sn era when "summer seasons of light opera" were popular and profitable. Today this field, as Indeed all the opera stage, lsl singularly deserted. I can see no 30od reason for It, except that the radio Is i Just sufficient to take the edge off' of public desire to hear snd witness operatic productions, the old-time ad potent pleasure felt In the spec tacular side of It has been lost sight of. There Is not In the show business of today that Intangible but indes cribably pleasant theatrical atmos phere that was present with audiences in the old-time theater; an atmos phere that Is unknown to the newer generations of moving picture audi ences. As for open air summer opera, the parks have multiplied, the weather remains about the same, the stars are as beautiful, the charm of night-time la aa potent as ever, the automobile has made transportation easy, but the public manifests desire mainly for road houses or movies. Perhaps It Is because strongly organized and talent ed opera organizations no longer come to offer their wares.
