THE NEW DRUG COMPANY

Tho new drug company, which was
recently organized in 'Carbondale for

icine for the lellef of the Ills of Infants
Is meeting with unexpected success
and promises to develop Into one of the
thriving businesses of Carbondale.
The company was organized several
weeks ago with adequate capital to

existence. tluoughout tho country in a
well-ordered way and Its brings Its

young men who are conspicuous and

The feeling that a man enjoys on le
ttrlng at night, that in ease of lire
there is a wide-awake, aleit, fearless,
heroic band of llremen to protect his
property and the lives of those near
to him, has a greater value than dol-
lais and cents. How mucli tneieioi.e

DRAMATIC GOSSIP
FOR THEATRE-GOERS
Tho theatilcal season in Carbondale
thus far has been on the whole quite
satisfactory, nnd Is by far more suc
cessful than last year, when the street
car strike was a big obstacle. Tt not
only Interfeied with tho attendance,
but It prevented Manager Byrne from
booking expensive or higher claJ at
tractions. The diminished attendance
made the risk of loss too great to bo
chanced. This season, however, wa
have had u good run of attractions, a
few of tho finest on tho road that can
oe Induced to play ono-nlght standn In
towns of less than liO.OQO Inhabitants
Tho path of a theater manager Is not
lined with loses. Theie may be a few
along the way, but tho thorns are well
mixed with the sweet smile of N'atuie.
This is paiticularly true of a small
town In these days when theatrical
syndicates and circuits are the rule.
Carbondale doesn't happen to be on one
of these 23-town circuits, It stands
alone, and as the whims of showmen
are peculiar and numerous, 'tis often
that we aro denied desired attractions,
but through no fault of the local man
agement.
Caihoudale theater-goers me fondest
of comedy, There has been ample proof
of this, this season. Productions like
"Itupert of lientzau," "York' State
Folks," "Tho Prisoner of Honda," "Tho
Christian," and oven Clyde Fitch's
beautiful "Lovers' Lane" found but lit
tle favor as compared with "The Chup
orons" and other light pieces of that
frothv character, Tho tonic effect of u
hearty laugh Is what we seem to enjoy,
rather than the sad, serious contempla
tion of tho tumbles of estranged lovers
or the plotting and scheming of n dm k
villain. Taking this feeling as a cue,
.Manager B.vmo has a Chilstmas day
offering that Is not supposed to bo eon
sldeied seriously for even a moment.
Ho will ptesont Fiunk Wills and his
brother, John Wills, In ono of tho fol
lowing light comedies, "Atlantlo City,"
"Happy Hooligan," and "Tho Two Old
Cronies."
The company will open hem on Tues
day, Dec. 23. in a tluee nights' engage
ment. Frank Wills will be reculled by Car
bondale theater-gouiR us an entertain
ing and funny comedian. He was John
Ilenshaw's fuu-inaklug pailner in "The
Two Old Cionles," when that piece was
one of tho most mirthful on the joad.
Slneo then Wills and Henslmw separ
ated, Henshaw and his wife, the ro
tund May Ton 'llroeck, joining ono of
the Bioudwuy companies, shining as
stars among bright comedy lights.
Frank Wills and his company will like

.
to a reproduction that was taken by
the Mitchells at Port .lervls on the
occasion of their visit to that town on
Firemen's day, a few months ago, and
prosontPd to the company whose guests
they were. The conquests thai, the
Mitchells made on this trip the Port
.lervls paper snld they won the most
popular liremen who ever visited the
town on the Del.iwnie was char.icter-l-tie
of the company and of Carlmu
dali.ui. They came homo with all the
prizes and the laurels they won made
us all the prouder of them.
Andicw Mitchell, one of our vener
able citizens, the patron, as it were,
has a warm place In the lieaits of the
Mitchell boys, just as he Is respected
and esteemed by his fellow citizens.
The legard of the company for M-r
Mitchell was happily show'n on the oc
casion of the company's tenth anniver
sary last winter. Ho was the guest of
honor and theie were testimonials of
sion, as he has numerous admirers In
Cnrbondale.
A prime favorite will be In Curuon
dale the night alter Christmas. Mil
dred Holland will be at the Grand in
her new play, "The 1-ily and tho
Prince."
Naturally a good deal of Intel est
centeis in Miss Holland's new play,
and thete is a good deal of speculation
as to Its possible enjoyment as com
pared with "The Power Behind the
Throne," In which, to make use of a
plain saying, C.ubondallans were In
love with Miss Holland as the simple
uninfected peasant gill, who was like
a lily In the purity of her chin actor and
home siuroundlngs. "The Lily and the
Prince" tells a story quite like "Tho
Power Behind the Throne." Miss Hol
land is the same puio, Innocent, unaf
fected and captivating maiden, and she
sulfors the same Intilgue In her love
making that she did in "The Power He
lilnd the Throne." Tho piece is mag
nificently staged, the first act being
mounted with a garden scene, with a
(bubbling fountain, la a manner that
has never been equalled at any pro
duction In Cnibondnle.
Miss Holland has u becoming sense
of appieeiatlon of the beautiful and
artistic staging or the piece. "You
can tell my Caibondale friends," s.ild
Miss Holland to The Tribune man dur
ing her recent visit to Scranton, "that
we have u production this year, tho
like of which their pleasant town has
never seen. And 1 daie say," she con
cluded, wlih a positive turn of her
head, "as line as they will ever see."
Those who witnessed tho piny would
hardly have the courage to dispute Miss
Holland lit this lespeet.
Miss Holland will give a Christmas
dinner to her company at Blnghamton
this year, which Is a happy custom
with her each year. Singularly enough,
It was iy Blnghamton that this din
ner was given last year. This Is a
beautiful characteristic of Miss Hol
land, her love of home-lite and her ef
forts to surround her company with
this air of homo. She takes the gi cut
est pride In recounting the Incidents
nf those dinners. "I like to look upon
my company as ono big family," she
said while In Carbondale last year. I
think tho arrangements weie so pleas
ant that not ono of the company missed
tho accustomed cheer of homo at
Christmas time, Ono member of our
company, who was somewhat older
than tho others, came to mo with tears
In his eyes and snld: 'Miss Holland,
this Is the first Christmas In years that
1 have felt tho same spirit that pre
vailed when I sponl this day at my
home,' " Tho company will como di
rectly fiom Blnghamton to Carbondale,
The Now Year's attraction will bo
Cieoigo II. Broadhurst's comedy, "Bo
rnusa Hho Loved lllm So." Biiadhurst
s a proline writer and Is the author of
the successes. 'Tho Speculator," nnrt
"What Happened to Jones."
On Jan. 2, another Caihoudale favor
ite will bo heio, Kntheiiuo Kidder, In
her new play, "An Nye for an Eye."
Allsa Kidder Is appi eclated In Ciubon
dale. Slui was here as the star In "Mad
ame Sans anno," and wus with the
Ward-Jiunes-Kldder tilunnirato In n
Shakespearian tragedy. This will bo
her flist appeal unco In Caibondale in
several seasons.
