-SCENE FROM ACT II, IN "THE CLI

* AT THE OPERA HOUSE. *
* *
* * * * * * ** * * * * * * * *
A large audience filling the opera
house, greeted "Buster Brown" on
Tuesday night. The play was up to
the standard set by this attraction in
thg past. Master Harold, the tiny chap
w ho plays the role created and made
famous by Outcault .in the Sunday sup
-plements, appealed to the :hearts of
his audience, and had excellent s-2p
port. It is a clean and wholesome and
refreshing play.
' Ther is a eti nlg in theI
aeofthe great Caruso and the he
- rRne Adelina, in "The Climax," which
AJoseh Weber is sending to the opera
use here Friday night. The great
tenor svas losing his voice and an
operation was necessary. For a time
it was feared that music lovers
throughout the world would never
again hear his golden notes. Imagine
the anguish of' the temperamental
Italian. If a man who has the world
'of music at his feet can suffer near to
the verge of collapse, what must a
'woman~ who is striving to be a prima
edonna. er dure when she is told that
hever again can she sing another
a ote?
It is the human soul note, which has
been struck by the anaster hand of
Bdward Locke, that makes "The Cli
max" a play which appeals to all that
is good in us, and therein lies the
secret of its lasting success. Last
i- ason Mr. Weber sent out five ccr
panies to meet the demand of the pub
'ai to witness he play; t:his year the
demIand for it is even greater, by rea
on of th commendation which is

The Cow and the Moon Here Feb. 9.
"The Cow and the Moon," probably
on%of the biggest and massive scenic
productions in the line of musical ex
travaganza that will visit here this
season, is announced for presentation
at the city opera house on Thursd'ay,
February 9.
It is distinctly a show of novelties,
coloring of the brightest hues, yet in
keeping with their locals. Gold and
silver showers come one after another,
in fact it is said to be a glorious glit
tering pageant. This, however, mere
ly forms the background for a story
of imagination, dealing with earth be
ings and people from the moon that
makes an evening of solid fun and
aughter.
The presenting company numbers
some forty or more personages head
ed by that inimitable eccentric come
dian, Chas. A. Sellon, ' who pleased
theatre goers hereabouts so well in
that merry musical extravaganza,
"The Cat and the Fiddle," on previous
occasions. His support includes the
Dresden Doll comedienne, Hazel Rice,
said to be the most diminutive singing
oubrette on the etage today. Sca::cely
four feet tall, but perfect in form, her
leverness is exciting the most favor
ble comment. Bess Taft, who is mak
ng herself famous for her portrayals
f fairy parts, wil be the Genii. She
aso has been seen -before with Mr.
Sellon's productions. Miniva Scott,
ecently known as the lady beautiful
f vaudeville, is :naking her debut in
he musical field. Superb in figure and
owning of- the most exquisite taste
nd style, it is a safe predicuion that
er title in vaudeville will follow her
n her new field for the display of her
eauty and taln~s
A strong singing chorus, in the
martest of aattim, is promised, and
ith 'some sixteen or more musical
-umbers, all prov:ided by Carleton Lee
olby, the lovers of terps.ichore and
ong mction wi!] have their fill.

Now thing~s are diTrent. Common
~abcr has mnore than doub!e:i what it
was then. The cost of picking cotton
has gone from 40 cents to G0 cents up
to G0 cents to $1.20 pe'r hundredweight.
It seems 4hat if Mason's machine w;as
in operation today its cost of~ picking
mig:it still be $10 a bale. Tbie cost of
hand picking today in the East is, say,
$i a bale and in Texas and Oklahoma
it ranges from $12 to $18 a bale.
Therefore. Mason's machine operatd
toay might be profitable in the West
a.nd might break about even if operat
ed in the Eas.t.
It is claimed that the Price-Camp
bell machine carries al1l the good fea
tures of the old Mason machine, and
nesses have been eliminated. Instead
of mul power it usEts automobile pow
er. It stands to reason that -the Price
Campbell people have made labor
scarce and high-priced at least. Every
unfavorable condition for machine
picking has changed for the better.
General indusAtrial development has
made labor scarce and high-priced.
The old crop which yielded $300,000,
000 is now replaced by a crop yielding
annually $SOO,000.000. A former sur
plus of labor is now replaced by a high
price and deficiency of labor. Nobody
can ever say when an invention is
"perfected." By perfected I mean
when it has reached the point where
it may be practically and profitably
op?rated. Nothing but dividend* will
prove that point. When I saw the Ma
son machine operate, I thought it
might, with very, little improvement,
be profitably operated after two years
further experimenting. Looking back
now, I can see that the economic con
ditions were then unfavorable and
these grew worse. I still think the
Mason machine might have beien per
fected if the machine alone had been
cons.idered. The following testimonial
shows that this same conviction about
'the Price-Campbell machine was in
the minds of a representative body
of planters in Marlboro county, S. C.,
in 1909:
'"Bennettsville, S. C., Oct. 18, 1909.
"We, the undersigned, residents of
Marlboro county, S. C., have today had
the opportunity to see the Price-Camp
bell cotton picker in operation, and
take great pleasure in endorsing it as
a complete mechanical and commercial
success. It -picks cotton at. the rate
of 600 pounds an hour and does not
injure the plant or bolls: W. W. Mc

den, J. J. Hackhart, H. R. Townsend,
J. D. Moore."
Nobody yet knows whether the
Price-Campbell machin.e has reached
the point of practlical development
where it may be practically and pro
fitably operated. In his pamphlet Mr.
Price states that there are on file in
the patent office more than 450 patents
on cotton pickers. Which one of these
will be worked ocut to a finish, nobody
yet knows. The Masons, at the time,
looked very favorable but it transpired
that conditions having nothing to do
with th7 economical op.ecatons of the
menUilne affected its succs,. Mr. Lowry
of Bc..ton:, had a 'nachine in Charlotte
which m--ny tl'ink would have suc
ceeded it .M.r. Lowry had not insisted
in inventin.g an au.tomobile to carry
his machine as we.ll as the picking
machinery itself. The picking appara
tus did well, but the automobile was
far behind the art of automobile build
ing. Here again, 'possible success was
interfered with 'by one of the factors
of a machine which was wholly irrele
vant to cotton picking, except as- a-n
adjunct, an'd which might ~have been
bougfht in th.e perfiected state to begin
with. Mr. Price's pamphlet gives
abundant testiimonials, but Maison got
these, and Lowry got them also. Most
of them were evidently given without
consideration as most testimonials are
given. Pe'rhaps 'the mos.t important of
all the te'stimonials given in Mr.
Price's pamphlet is the one by a far
mer's wife, who after her husband
~had spoken favorably of the machine
added, "Yes, and you don't have to
cook for it." T'his is really a very im
portaint eleernent in the whole business,
because in the cotton picking season
and where cotton picking labor is
scarce and ha-rd to hold, you not only
have to cook for the pickers, but you
have to handle them as tenderly as
babies, to keep them from quittin'g and
going away.
Accepting thte term "perfected" as
meaning p'ractical an'd profitable op
eation, I have always believed that
cotton would some day 'be picked by
a machine. Some people ta.lk o:f the
difficulties of discriminating. But when
we look at a modern woman with well
designed and wvell made clothes, none
doubts but what the sewirng mahhine
has wonderful powers of discrimilna
tion ; equa.lly the cotton picker can be
made to do this work with discrimin'a
tion and ,that part of the invention
sems 'to be already accomplished.
Mason undoubtedly picked cotton and
did not injure the plant. Lowry did
the same thing. Now the Price-Camp
bell machine claims to have done the
sme thing. The invemtion has been
reuced lately to a que stion of econo
mc oporation and of durability.
The cotton picLer wheni it comes
(anda it may be already here) will have
ai more imp~ortanit influence upon the
cotton supiply of the world than the
cotton growers association of Great
Britain, Germany, France and Italy all
put together. The crop for a machine
10 ~m'~k is practically all ready for a
season, and economic picking will very
materially increase the crop without a
particle of delay. It stands to reason
that it will take a little time to make
machines and have enough to have any
effect upon a crop, but as fast as the
machines are put in the field, the crop
will be augmented the following year.
i There need be no fear of throwing
hand cotton pickeys out of employ
ment. The increased crop making in
creased prosperity will bring work
enough for all.
It costs now more than $100,000,000 a
year to pick the cotton crop. With a
machine as efficient as the reaper or
sewin.g -machine the crop could be
picked at a cost less than $25,000,000.
The prize is a big one. The American
Inventor is alert and persistent. We
will undoubtedly get a cotton picking
machine in the near future.
