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.

Tho automobile show nt tho Com

for tho stago folk who aro In Philadel

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.
