oe THE NEW PLAYS Shaw’s “Getting Married” Wholly a Matter of Talk BY CHARLES DARNTON F Bernard Shaw had appointed a committee on marriage and then made himself the chief speaker at its meeting he would have succeeded in doing quite as much as he hi less comedy produced by William er, we may be thankful for n grocer, who is enough like m the waiter in “You Never Can Tell” to be his brother. Called in or dragged In, us you please, to set the breakfast for the wedding of the Hishop's sixth daughter, this loquaciuus servitor provides the greater part of the entertainment. | His views on life in general and mat- timony In particular have the quality of common sense, which Shaw never} quite forgets, and the spice of humor, | But, ail in all, the characters have no reality, They sit about a table in the Bishop's kitchen and talk to no par- tleular purpose. The Bishop himself is remarkably indulgent. As for his daughter Edith, she doesn’t seom to know her own supposedly strong mind, for in the end she runs off and marries the, youth, whose anxiety about his mother {# little leas than faretenl, | EVEN GROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE SYRUP OF FIGs Look at tongue!

The old warrior who surrenders to tears after storming the heart of a| fastidious spinster for years is a sen- timental caricature, while Lesbia, who yearns for children, yet cannot endure the idea of having a husband about the house, 1 serves to keep her devoted follower guessing. A middio-aged wretch, who has mar. red a young woman and permitted her to ree him, only to have her return to his reluctant arma, comes in for a laugh or two at his own ex- pense, Then there is a sort of choco- late soldier without a uniform who ts only too giad to let pretty little Leo | KO back to poor old Reggie, while at the same time he washes his hands} 4 the coal-dealer's wite, Mra, George, in order that she may return to her poms without a spot on her reputa- ton. These curious people sit around and talk, They have nothin e@ to do, tor the simple reason that “Getting | Married” is wholly a mattor of talk, Shaw wrote the play in the so-called classic form—that ts, he let it run its course without Interruption. With merciful Intervention, Mr, Faversham brenks up the talk Into three acts, These acts enable the actors to get thelr second and third wind—nothing more, “Getting Married” is undra- matic, but amusing. The acting of the men ta very good. It quite overshadows that of the women tn most instances, John Har- | wood makey the green-grocer an everlasting ght.

EFORE a man can make money—he must learn how to spend it. Nobody expects much » of a storekeeper who is not able to send home the goods you buy. He never has any regular cus- tomers. When he gets his first delivery wagon he starts on the road to becoming a merchant. Now he is either going to be a i merchant or a little one. Every cent a big merchant spends ; must be a permanent investment. When a big merchant buys a wagon to deliver merchandise he doesn’t buy one originally designed for different and lighter Koo qgork, He does not buy a pleasure aie car with a wagon body. These | things are not permanent invest- ments. They wear out too quickly in the first place. They ‘cost too much to run, They always need repairs because they are doing something they ‘were not built for. The first real light delivery truck is the VIM. It is a half ton truck built for delivery pur- poses only. Here is the first light delivery truck so made that it spends practically all its work hours in work—out on the street deliver- ing bundles, not in the garage being fixed. The VIM is the first light truck with strong parts where the strain comes—strong enough to stand up under the ordinary and ex- traordinary work of delivery service. With engine of power and capacity big enough to stand the over-work so sure to come. The first light weight truck to free itself from a lot of delicate mechanism” not needed on a truck, and apt to make trouble. The first light truck built in a simple way, with all needed parts and no more—so simple any driver with average intelligence can run it. With the VIM Truck you don’t have to wonder how you are going to get all of Saturday's orders out—neither do you have to be all worry and confusion over deliveries the day before a holiday. Remember that this is the truck that is always out working for you and that it is cheaper to run than any other delivery you could have. VIM mechanics take care of your truck for you—giving each VIM Truck amonthly inspection at our Service Station, making any little adjustments free of charge. Behind each VIM Truck sold to you stand the largest distri- butors of motor trucks in the world. Come over to 56th Street and Broadway and look at the VIM ‘Trucks on our floor. See how handsome they are and how they will advertise your business allover the city. Then let us tell you about our plan for making it easy for you to buy one—so you can put it to work right away. Over ¢wenty thousand mer- chant-storekeepers have already done so. The VIM half-ton truck chassis is sold for $645 f.o.b. Philadelphia —-complete with body $695 and up accord- ing to body.
