Happily, last night, we had also “The Tents of the Ara by Dun- Sany, and this little play brought both the mysterious whisper of the @esert and the air of freedom to shut-in souls that would raise a song Of rejoicing if they could find a bit of sand in their hard-and-fast sur- foundings. Dunsany sends a king into the desert, where this royal per- 89m being a sensible chap, is only too willing to hand over his sceptre to a camel driver, In these days, when crowns are not worth their weight in gold, this play has a new signifi cance. With all its poetry it is as Practical as life. The king, with his touches the theatre no less than the for “The Book of Job," as expounded |former pomp and worries. Although the acting of McKay Morris, Beatrice and others did not gtir the im agi on, the costumes were full of color and the general effec: was in- teresting, "The Book of Job" is necessarily lacking in dramatic quality, for it is ot even given the so-calle tion of the old mystery play, It ig nothing more than a nar rativo with obvious lighting with scenery that offers dry trees, Incidentally, niches in whidh two actre like upright saints and t ously, Job's lamentations were nnguish and meaning by Geors Hero # a really fine semestet }V)8 Pose Bubtahin THE BIG LITTLE FAMILY given} ntl fanging fancy, goes into the desert and stays there with the gypsy girl Who means more to him than his Intelligent and powerful, a “Phe Book of Job” an stage offoring. | DYE MEAN “To MAY —You WELL- WELL—AN’ Se TH’ BIG HER “TH AIRS V7 um-mt || WAS "ENGAGED" TH’ OLE EXIT?

It concerns the theatre, of course. Mr. Klaw left many friends in London and Paris at the outbreak of the war, and has not been in either city since 1914. But since the armistice was signed he is eaid to have received communica- tions which are likely to take him abroad now. He declines to discuss the report or any of his future plans. It is possible that he may be abroad six months unless business on this ide of the Atlantic calls him back sooner. PAY THE MAN. It isn't hard, when out you go, To do a little buying, To tell the man to charge your goods, It’s easy—no denying; But when the bills come in to you From tailor, shoe-man, hatter, As mute suggestions that you pay, Ah, that's andther matter, It isn’t hard for you to find Store-keepers who will trust you, They mercly want your trade—that's ail, They have no wish to bust you; But when the postman hands you dills— Requests for money, gentle, They're apt to bring along with them A lot of pain that's mental, The credit system seems so nice, But it may spell disaster Unless you have a bank account Like Vanderbilt or Astor; Bo if you'll take a friend's advice, To help you I am trying, You'll out out credit all you can And poy cash when you're buying.

Harry Tighe and Paul Frawley, who are in Atlantic City with “Come Along.” which opened at the Apolio jast night, took a flight in a hydr- plane yesterday afternoon. To Fraw- | ley, who was in service as a naval| aviator, it meant nothing unusual, but to Tighe, who weighs 240 pounds, it was a nervous trip. At one time, while they were 2,000 feet up, Frawley yelled “How do I do my second act dance, ," replied Tighe, “cut that out, : will you, and do a little praying.” JOE'S CAR FUN FOR POOR KIDS.
