Rose Stahl in "A Perfect Lady"
Miss Rose Stahl. who comes to the j
Majestic Friday evening in a new plav. I
A I crfect ' lias had great up- i
portunity to observe people of the thea i
tie in every phase of their existence, j
In her new play there is a character, I
Bertie Snyder, who is presumed to be a !
musical director of u " flv-by-night " I
burlesque troupe, and, having spent i
some years iu the study 0 f music, i
imagines himself a creative genius. Dis- i
cussing this character recentlv, Miss 1
Stahl said:
"Bertie, to me, emphasizes the path- j
os of misdirected artistic endeavor, of
which there is so much in the world i
and more particularly in this great I
city, ilow many of these strugglers j
1 ould tiring joy to the world and win :
success if they realized the scope o<
their ability and accomplished with '
fidelity that work for which thev were I
most truly fitted. Bertie, as the case
in point, with a faculty for melody,!
seeks to believe that his memorv is I
creative, whereas It is only imitative. '
By applying that capacity for imita
tion he could go far, but, dealing with '
it as an original creative inspiration, j
he is simply bringing ridicule upon
himself. It seems truly that there is
nothing new under the sun, we are
adapting and readaptilig; the things
which appear new have always been '
and it is only that thjir existence is i
realized that makes them seem new. j
Bertie carries a very real message to'
those folks struggling for suecess and 1
that message ih one which brings the'
word of how they may succeed. Suc
cess with them is dependent upon the
knowledge of their limitations-, when
they realize those they
can truly build upon a foundation which j
"will insure suceesß. It has always ;
seemed "to me t>hat the keystone of sue- '
cess was their knowledge of what thev
could not do."' Adv. " ■
At the Orpheum
Nat M. Wills, one of tbe most cele-1
brated comedians on the American
•rtage. heads a -bill of startling excel-1
lence at the Orpheum this week. The i
magic .word, "Wills,"' suggests the
brightest of witticisms to those who '
have come to know tbe artist and his!
appearance at the Orpheum this week j
is indeed noteworthy- While new to
Orpheaiii audiences, Mr. Will* appeared i
at the Majestic theatre last season,!
starring in Ziegfeld s l-\>liies. and he i
is considered one o? the brightest lights i
that travel the Keith circuit. Homer!
Mason and Marguerite Keelc- and i
1 company return this week in a new
comedy called "Married." This at - j
[tractive company appeared at the Or-{
i pheum se\ crnl seasons ago in a splen
> did comedy-called "In anil Out," that
i has oft been declared the best comedy j
I sketch ever served up at that play-i
I house.
"In and Out' - was so called because
| the scene kept constantly changing!
| from the outside to tne inside of a'
j dwelling of the better class, and on the j
j outside Mr. Mason, as an intoxicated i
clubman, was making the effort of his
life to make his key fit to gain entrance.
| Inside, seated by her cOfcy fireplace, |
wifey" had gone to sleep awaiting!
his return. The situations that arose
in '"ln and Out - ' will be remembered '
bv all who saw it. Marie Fit/.gibbon, |
| a dainty songbird, will be another j

WINTER ( LOTHLNW
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Samuel G. Dixon, M. D„ LL.
D., Commissioner of Health
fhe season has arrived when tho
: thoughtful housewife gets out her hus-
J band's "flannels" ami her own. l"ii
| 'ortuuately many people dress accord-
I iug to the calendar and if the weather
! happens to be unseasonable, so muHi
! the worse for the weather,
i Winter means heavy clothes an,l too
often heavy underclothes. Of course
| the question of the occupation of the
| individual is a factor in winter dress
j but the great majority of people spend
their time in steam-heated homes and
i offices where the temperature is littio
j lower in winter than in summer.
For those who live or work iu a
j temperature of from 68 to 70 degrees
| t'ahrenheit the wearing of heavv under
t clothes is not only fraught with con
siderable discomfort but it is apt t.i
! lead to colds. To keep the skin dry and
j to give it air are the two necessai-v re
j ijuisitics iii sensible and healthful dress
j nig of the body.
A certain amount of respiration is
i constantly going on through the pores
|of the skin to equalize the bodily heat.
• It the underclothing is too heavy and
| tight fitting, it does not permit, of sul'
I ficient circulation of air. Au excess of
; heal or a little unusual exercise will
j cause perspiration. If in this condition
there is exposure to cold, the overheat
ed parts may become chilled, an.l a cold
| ensues.
When some circulation of air is per
mitted. perspiration is disposed of bv
evaporation and the skin remains drv.
.Old people, babies and those with weak
: hearts should always bo clothed with
i thin woolen underwear that they mav
i be kept warm and the evaporation "iv
|en off slowly by the wool. l,i going
jtrom a warm indoor temperature into
I the colli outer air heavy outside gar
j ments should be worn which can be laid
aside on re-entering the heated rooms.
It is becoming more and more tlio
j custom for imloor workers to wear
lighter weight under garments in wiut£i
and to depend more upon their outer
| clothing to protect them from th t! cold
when exposed.
