Fuzzy Little Capitano The Long-Eared Burro Leads Mister Antonio
The 'Urdy-Gurdy Man Prefers His Donkey and the Stage to Silent Drama
And Actresses Knit, too
Ruth Rose, the Leading Lady Drove an Ambulance in
The 'urdy-gurdy man had left Joe and Capitano for a little while, and it was Mr. Otis Skinner in his jaunty Italian attire who was resting in his dressing room after the first act.
"The movies? No, I shall never go into the movies. The real art of act ing is not found in what they call the silent drama. How is it possible to be artistic and at the same time mechanical?"
"Mr. Skinner has no liking for motion pictures," explained Mrs. Skinner who is with her husband on this tour. She was knitting, as were the actresses of the company between acts. "He has been persuaded, however to do one picture."
"The red carnation I use in the second act was obtained in Lawrence, only with difficulty," said Mr. Skinner. "You know it is a real flower I always carry. Tonight my property man sent one of the stage hands out to get the bread and meat I use for our meal. He also instructed the man to get a red carnation. When the messenger returned, he had with the other groceries a can of condensed milk—carnation brand."
Ruth Rose, Mr. Skinner's leading lady, drove an ambulance in France before becoming a member of his company. Now she follows Capitano to Silvertown and thence to gay Sorrent every night in the last act. They all follow little fuzzy, long-eared Capitano, and rely on his good sense. Just now he is leading them west over the Santa Fe trail to Colorado Springs and to the coast.

WE'LL FIX IT
If your watch or clock is out of the running, bring it to us. We'll fix it and give it back to you in nearly as good a condition as when it was new.
Watch and clock repairing is one of our hobbies. We are really as particular about having you satisfied with a repair job as we are having you satisfied with the goods you buy from us.
To get the greatest amount of satisfaction out of either a watch or clock, it must be inspected and oiled every year or two—once a year is better.
You wouldn't think of buying a new automobile and then trying to run it without oil; neither should you, think of letting your watch or clock run year after year. Better drop of oil. Better let us look after it for you.

Ice Cream—Rich in Food Value
Compare an analysis of ice cream to many eatables that are thought to be very sensible foods, and you will find ice cream leading in food value.
In food value much depends on the quality of material entering into that product. With WIEDEMANN'S ICE CREAM none but the purest of ingredients are used, and great care is used in the selection of these materials.
Ice Cream isn't an expensive dessert in the first place—much less when its food value is taken into consideration.

Business Logic or Horse Sense?
Apply a little logic right at this point! Business is dull—lagging behind. It needs help and push! Just the part advertising plays in modern business.
SOME business men err in looking upon their advertising as an item of expense, and when business meets with depression many of them resort to their advertising appropriation as the first place to make a "cut."
If this same merchant, who cuts down on his advertising, were to be hauling a heavy load up a hill, he wouldn't unhitch one of his two horses from the load in order to increase the "pull." No, indeed, he would probably be looking around for a third horse to help out.
If a manufacturer saw that his company's sales were dropping off in a certain territory, do you suppose that he would wire his salesmen in that territory to pick up and leave for good? Not much,—instead he would probably dispatch a few extra salesmen to that locality, the advertising manager would be notified to "warm" things up around that district and in all probability the merchants handling the manufacturer's line would hear from headquarters in some way!
The merchant who cuts down on his advertising to save money doesn't believe in advertising. If he did he would see the logic in applying it more than ever when business was dragging.
I said logic would suggest to him his error. I'll take it all back, I believe it should only require a fair amount of HORSE SENSE to guide him right.
