WILSON There are certain types of persons or rather personages to whom automo bile salesmen delight to talk cars, and by no means the least ot these Is. the successful Thespian. rf None aporcclates the very best In utomobllo construction and Appoint ments than the actor or actress. Tlio salesman can Interest them without troublo If ho has something of real merit In his car to call to their atten tion. But ho must havo "tho goods," for there Is hardly any class of professional persons as a whole who Know mora about tho good und bud points of an automobile than tho stage star or the J theatrical manager or producer. Tho reason Is not far to seek. , They own cars every man, woman and child of them who have been suc cessful enough to hao their names brought beforo tho pub)lo as stage suc cesses. Most of them own a new car every year. They believe this Is economy. . Know Auto Fine I'olnti Constant association with tho best In motordom has mnde them "wlso" to all the good nnd bad points of a car, und the salesman always nnds them ready, willing and ablo to "talk turkey" when ne hna some real Improvement to show them. Some of the famous personages o the stage hao moro than ono car. Al Jolson, the noted Winter Garden star, for Instance, has three a Stutz. a Plerce-Arrow und a Packard. Ho needs them all loo, doe-f Al, for ho has n host of friends a hus Mrs. Jolson and when they nro not going to or coming from some engagement they are sending for friends, and the thrco big cars prove nono too many for their needs. Then there is l-.ee Shubert, who with his brother, J. J. Shubert, control moro theatrical enterprises In this country than any other person. He has two cars a Packard nnd n Plerce-Arrow, and wheft the rush pt business Is greater than usual he sometimes supplements these with taxicabs. Bhubert Have Many Cars J, J. Shubert has a car, imported from England. It Is a Ilolls noyce. L. A. Blumberg, general manager of tho Shubert enterprises here tho Sam S. Shubert, Lyric and Adelphl Theatres, and the Chestnut Street Opera House has a National, which Is given about as little rest as any car in Philadelphia. Lawrence Shubert Lawrence, a mem ber of the Shubert family, and manager of the Lyric Theatre, has a Chalmers car, given to him by his uncle, Lee Shubert, which he drives constantly and hard. Every one of the stars of "Monto .Crlsto, Jr." the big Winter Garden suc cess. Is the owner and driver of a well known car.

Such n salary Is not an uncom mon ono for thousands of men and women on tlio stage actors and nctresses whosn names are little known and whoso brilliancy Is slight besldo the radiancy of tho big stars of tho pro fession. Actors and actresses are very human folks very much llko tho rest of us who aro engaged In tho dally struggla of wrestling u living from our old friend the world. They havo the same trials und tribulations: tho same periods of hustle nnd bustlo and drive that sap the energy and make tho necessity for recreation and amusement nnd fresh air very Imperative. In fact It Is doubtful If mnny men nnd women In business work harder than do tho people of the stago and It is for tills reason that ko many of them are addicted to the auto mobllo as a medium of pleasuro and health giving recreation. Hundreds of them also are gold fiends and It Is only n step from tho hotel or tho theatre to the country club when they own their own cars. Tho automobile show nt tho Com mercial Museum Is the Mecca this week for tho stago folk who aro In Philadel phia. Scores of them will take this opportunity of seeing tho very latest things in motors and of placing their orders for the new 1919 models. Auto mobile men anticipate orders running Into many thousands of dollars from tho people of the theatre now In this city nnd those who will run over from New York to see tho show. There will be hundreds of stage folk making the trip from New York during the week. For the most part they will be those .who were on tour when the re cent New York show was held and these will want the opportunity to view tho 1919 creations at the big Philadelphia show. STUTZ Tho Stutz line consists of a single chassis nnd four body models tho two passenger Bearcat, a roadster In which speed and comfort are combined In a remarkablo degree; a two-passenger roadster of more conventional design, a four-llve-passengcr closo-coupled car nnd a slx-seven-pacscnger touring car. Tho Stutz company Is one of the strong est advocates of the four-cylinder en glno and has brought Its slxteen-valve engine to an advanced state of develop ment. The very material Increase In valie nnd passage area greatly lmprov. ed performance In every way, and re sults In service were so good that In 1917 the same engine wan adopted for all models. It Is now the regular Stutz equipment.
