Don’t crowd, friends, this offer hasn’t been made yet. But if I ever

own a theatre of my own, it may be made.

And that’s because it’s the only humanitarian thing to do in behalf of actors and audience alike. Such an offer would shine like ^a good deed in a naughty world.’ For people come to the theatre for fun

, . . . and coughing isn’t funny.

"^^It is my opinion that the best way to remove throat tickle is not to

have it at all. Which means confining all smoking to OLD GOLDS. I

smoke them myself, and I fully believe that there is not, and there never has been, a cough in a carload.”

Why not a cough in a carload?
