Goes Across Well at the Brandeis Under Their Handling. SMALL AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED Believe m, If Xantippe herself could have come to life and have been at the Brandeis theater Saturday evening viewing "Believe Me, Xkn tlppe," her scolding tongue must have been stilled and mlleg must surely have blossomed upon the sour face that made life for friend Socrates Just one durn thing after another, long, long ago. Tou've got to hand It to Nebraska for producing a son who can write a play like that. But Broadway has already presented Mr. Frederick Ballard of iiaveiocit. Neb., with its high compll menta and applause. university Players, nave all tha marks of professionals, and tha dcllcht ful farce-comedy went through with the smoothness of a Shubert production. The tempestuous-tempered helpmate of mo paiiem pniiosopner whose name adorns the title would have found her re luctant Intereat gripped from the begin ning or the first act and held between love and Interest, exciting gun-plays and witty dialogue all the way through. Maurice Clark In the leading role, that of George McFarland, who makes a bet that he can elude the officers of the law for a year, waa splendid. He puts into the part Just what the playwright In tended should be there, a cool humor of the brave, calm man who Is continually doing heroic and noble deeds and yet looking on life without seriousness, never In a hurry, always the gentleman. Clark was a good deal of a Jack Barrymore. Sheriff's Daasjhter Shtaes. Ella -HUItams as Dolly Kamman. the sheriffs daughter, was also a great hit Of pleasing appearance and womanly. self-willed, brave and loving, what more could the hero or the audience ask? DeWitt Foster looked and acted the part of a real ''bad man." The scene In the second act, where he Is captured by the hero after a hard fight on the cabin floor, was tense. In short, the whole cast of ten performed without a flaw and the udience, which wasn't as large as It might have been, expressed Its pleasure In liberal applause and laughter at the many clever lines. In the end, of comae, the hero won not only the bet. but the fair Doll for his bride. And as he was "one of the richest young men In New York" and a thorough gentlemen besides. It is safe to assume that they lived happily ever after.

"Million Dollar Dolls" Start Well At the Gayety The biggest Saturday night audience of the season attended the first performance of this week's show at the Gayety last night and rave It an enthuslast'c recep tion. The company has many clever enter tainers and the ''Million Dollar Dolls'' are a lively bunch. Two skillful comedians In stead. of one are featured, so the crowd has a superabundanoe of good laughs, as wuii aa plenty of singing, dancing, bril liantly costumed choruses and pleasing women principals. Leeter Allen, a recent convert from vaudeville, makes a decided hit is an ec centric and novel hobo ciiirscter part. He ia an accomplished slnser and dancer as well as being a regular scream with the funny work, and his method of creat ing laughs is all the more effective, be cause It Is apparently so Impromptu and spontaneous. Lew Hilton, an old favor- i Ite la funnier than ever and scores many evidences of popularity In his original role of "Shlmky." He and Allen and Elsie Meadowa offer a musical trio stunt that gets a big "hand." Miss Meadows also is pleasing in several solos; Frances St. Clair wins generous applause with her powerful, well trained volco and Adele Ranney is a popular soubret. Bob Ferns hss a commendable blackface "nut" act in the olio, and Grant Gibson and Miss Ranney also add to the merit of that part of the program. Savo, a Juggler, presents something dif ferent in that line and plays an English "dude'' part cleverly in the first act.

Much too long and full of minute detail to tell in this place. It was the result of a long series of experiments here one saving, there another, both small, then another a little bigger, then a dozen others each so small that by itself it hardly counted, but the dozen together making an appreciable difference.

If we did not send out the ctmflttt Encyclopaedia Britannica is would be as fraudulent as if we delivered only the New Testament after advertising the Bible I (d) Professor Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law School, a well-known authority on jurispru dence and an eminent botanist, writes us as follows, after seeing and examining the "Handy Vol ume" issues GtmtUmtn; Ctmhriif i, Mstt., N9. 17, JfS.

This is only one of many letters of the same tenor from people who purchased the bigher-prieed issue and therefore know the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and who have examined the "Handy VoT ume" issue. (e) The following letter answers this better than we can. It was written by a professor of Eng lish at Harvard who paid three times as much for his set of the Britannica as you will need to pay.

Moat of them are from new color blocks, so that the colors are brighter, dearer, better and more accurate than the laat printings of the color plates in the big books. Color-printing and all other details of manufacture are supervised by the publishers and are done for them, not for us, under the same strict rules of "the best, no matter what the coat," that governed the manufacture of the Cambridge issue. (g) We advise you to order now. Orders esn be filled promptly from stock now on hand. But there will be a long waiting list when the first supply of sets is exhausted : the second supply will eome in slowly, because the manufacture of these fine books cannot be rushed.

(Note : We pay all shipping charges on any set returned because it is not satisfactory 00 matter why.) (i) The "Handy Volumes" are well made and well bound. What we say of them is simple faot and not "brag." They are made from the same grade of raw materials, paper, cloth and leather, as are used for the more expensive Cambridge issue. The two issues are manufactured by tha tame paper makers, leather manufacturers, printers and binders. The saving in price does not hmkj from any skimping in quality of materials or of manufacture. There is no skimping. (k) We will send you s booklet with reproductions in color of the different bindings and "jfo pages; or a sample volume in any binding yon like; or both.
