|F YOU UPHOLD THE THEATER HONESTLY, LIBERALLY, FRANKLY, I AND WITH WISE DISCRIMINATION, THE STAGE WILL UPHOLD IN I FUTURE, AS IT HAS IN THE PAST, THE LITERATURE, THE MANNERS, THE MORALS, THE FAME AND THE GENIUS OF OUR COUNTRY. —HENRY IRVING

Great words. ' And, though addressed to the British public, worthy of the deepest and most serious con¬ sideration by peoples of every nationality. Especially should the American public give thought to them. For of all institutions the theater is the most democratic. It is inherently and essentially so. Its existence—its very life—are dependent upon the masses. Every time that it essays to address or appeal to the classes or any special portions or part of the public it fails. Its art must always be that of the whole people, that of men and women, of children and adults, of rich people and poor folks, of the learned and the unlearned, the gay and the serious. Therefore Sir Henry’s words bear a peculiar and particular significance for Americans. The greatest Democracy in the world should manifest the greatest zeal in fostering, en¬ couraging and supporting the most democratic institution in the wor^d. There is food for thought in this, too, for the profession—the whole profession—for the stage is the stage no matter where or under what guise you find it. It may be harbored in a big or “little” house, it may be devoted to the legitimate or to musical comedy, burlesque or vaudeville, it may be the platform in a tent or merely the arena —yea, even the “nigger boards” therein—and it may be referred to as the screen, but for all that, if the entertainment brought to life upon its boards be the work of professional actors, actresses and artists, it is “the theater” within Sir Henry’s meaning. The profession should keep ever in mind this greater and higher function it performs, and esteem it not only a duty, but a very great and honorable privilege to keep it ever worthy and deserving. Defend its fine old traditions. W’atch over its art and protest when attempt Is made to institute false gods within its portals. And reproach those who would befoul and debase it. Respect, reverence and venerate it, and be assured that in such measure as you do so will the public. VELVET DROPS and STAGE SETTINGS Beautiful colors, aay size. Rentals aud easy tcxma. E. J.

THE LESSONS ARE EASILY UNDERSTOOD Any musician with a fair knowledge of music can become a proficient Band, Orchestra and Chorus Director by following the direc¬ tions in these lessons, so simply yet so wonderfully set forth. You gain an insight into the interpretations of music that no amount of study on an instrument can give you—you gain a knowl edge of the lights and shadows of music—of the “magic of a baton” that intoxicates with delight. WRITE FOR SAMPLE LESSON SHEETS HOW TO BECOME A BETTER MUSICIAN Don’t be satisfied to “peck an alto” for the rest of your life—don’t let the man beside you lead while you “string along.” Learn the art of directing, for even if you never stand in front of a band your greater knowledge of music, your understanding of your bandmaster’s movements will be a constant source of delight, far in excess of the cost of this instruction.

The purpose was film saletmen thruout the country for the sole purpose of booking pictures, it will not be con¬ cerned In the producing of pictures or in the physical distribution of productions.
