FRANKLIN GILSON As an interpreter of charattor and as a pleasing entertainer he has no peer. A City is largely known by its pubUc utilities and no community can be built J' up if efforts are made to cripple or injure its utilities, according to E. Seymour, Secretary of the Chamber of, Commerce of Washington, D.

C. He adds further, i "The American people are becoming more insistent about good utility service, and in orler tp get it must have healthy, well managed utilities." The Winfield Natural Gas Company through efficient operation and improved service features, are extending service and comfort to hundreds of homes; to-say nothing of the great saving and increased efficiency over other fuels.

S.

auditorium. This drama is -Tarkington at his best Full of laughs from the opening scenes to the final curtain, it yet- has much more than comedy to'commend it. Many of the lines have fumished material for much comment by drama reviewers; no speech in any recent play having furnished more discussion that Nancy's -comment of the small town or Howitt's arraignment on the subject of what's the trouble with the Middle West. Two. of Tarkington's best boy-characters furnish laughs for this play.

Sammy Wilson has been voted funnier than Pernod or Bob- 1 bie, and Cyril Kinney is good for a laugh wherever he appears. Two-love stories which end as they should lend fascination to the plot, and the complete awakening and change in a most "impossible" snob give an element of tense interest throughout. An unusually strong cast has the play well under way and a decidedly good production is assured. lowed-to enter the Class.
