MODERN COMEDY
Scene: Sumptiously furnished of
hce in Washington. Seated at desk
calm individual who knows all
*' bout Alberta and Dakota wheat
ut gets bogged down if he gets
eyond Seattle.
Enters bright chap with mis
riaced eyebrows on upper lip. Says
chief:
‘You understand thoroughly this
mission of yours to Alaska”?
“Oh yes indeed, I quite conceive
311 have a most interesting time.”
“What do you think of enlarge
ment of the road building program
:n Alaska,” asks the Chief.
“Well now as to that I have some
serious doubts. There are some re
putable engineers, I must admit,
who clamor for a wider extension of
the road building program in Alas
ka on the plea that it will help
build up the country. But I submit
to you Chief, how are we going to
build roads over glaciers when they
are shifting? Wouldn’t that be ab
surd? And the idea of putting
back the law so that placer ground
can be taken up in extensive acre
age to invite big dredging compan
ies; why big capital might swallow
up all the gold in Alaska and stifle
competition."
“Well”, sighs the Chief, “These
Alaskans are always arguing about
something. You have studied the
problem thoroughly. I hope you
have something favorable to report
out of that irritating muddle."
Advertising is the biggest prob
lem any merchant has in his store.
The local newspaper as an adver
tising medium is the best bet on a
solution of the problem.

Perhaps Gandhi got his civil dis
obedience idea from our American
bootleggers.
Posing as a doctor, an Indiana
man fooled 25 women. Most of us
would be satisfied if we could
fool one.

Supported by a special cast n a strong back-stage drama
“GIRL IN THE SHOW "
A very fine play showing the ugly and the beautiful sides
of a young girl’s stage life. A tale true to life. A chapter
taken from the inner experience of a traveling show

Cabin.” Many dramatic highlights.
The two-reel comedy has an unusual and at
tractive plot, securing evidence, divorce suit

A roaring farce of detectives and counter-detectives,
dodging husbands and suspicious wives. A sure-fire laugh
