FRIARS' FROLIC
WINS HANDILY
aSin^le Metropolitan Per?
formance Given at the
New Amsterdam.
GEORGE .M. COHAN
THE PRIME MOVER
Collicr Also Present. as Well as
a lonp and Honorable
l.ist of Others.
This rear's erop of all-star enter
tainmenta came in like a l.ambs' Gam
bol, but it went out like a Friars'
Krole. At the Xew .'.ms'erdam The?
atre last night the Friars staged one
of their infreqtient offenngs, with a
whirlwind tour of the country to fol?
low. It is a good ihow. There is hard
ly n dull apo; in it from cover to cover,
and last night it inspired a cumula
t.ve gale of merriment that had plenty
of aincenty hark of it, despite the pre
pondernnce of professional folk in the
audience. Other eities and other audi
er.ces may Aad portions of it unintel
l.g.ble. but there was no doubt of what
laal i;.-*"'' gathariag thought of it.
Thfl or.'y terioaa note of the show was
the price of admission.
Rack of the Friars' production has
been at least one of the fine, but r.ot
particular'.y Italian, banda of George
Michael Cohan. Mr. Cohan ls not the
sole author of the entertainment, but
he has been moulder in chief. Conse
quent'.y the show was aomething more
than the composlte appearance of a col?
lection of atars-here and there it con
tains an idea. And one or two of the
ideas. it seems probable. will eventually
thair way_ into regular produc?
tion-!.
Of particular merit was an offenng
hy nme more or less celebrated com
DOflerfl, the point of which was the com
-' indebtednflflfl to Mr. Mendels
sohn. Fach of the nme frankly con
fess.'d that the "Spring Sor.p" had been
a source of frequent inspiration, and
thflfl proceeded to prove it by playing
a cieverly conceived composition which
combined the onginal and a few of the'
rearrangements. This act terminated
w;th what can be described by no less
emphatic n word than "knockout."
Irvir.g Rerlm and Harry Carroll did an
acrobatic actl They sang a
danced and then did ? handspr.nr.
apifce for a rousing climax.
And then there was the fact that
g? Cohan and William (olher
ur lost the hatchet. George
and William appeared onee more in
front of the drop curtain which dfl
thfl fronts of their respective
; theatres and began matters with a -ong
celebrating their reunion. After that
| thev just talked. ,
Thia scene was so good that one
could tind excuses for Cohan's minstrel
sketch, "The Hold, Rrave Rlack and
The best thing about this
sketch was Cohan's appearance as a
chorus man. The sketch had to do with
I the Mexican aituation, in a rather off

A TENDERF00T IN ASIA
( limber of Temples at Baalbek Meeta
with Adventure.
The grear size and stability of the ;
?rmples at Baalbek inFpire confidence
in the climher, say* "The I hristian !
Heraid." A stairway leads to the top
of the rella walls the solid walls of
the temple proper wh.ch project for
fifty feet above the ground. From ths
top of the stairway one has a fine view
of the surroundirg country and also of
the great stones that await one below.
4 i was crossing just above the preat
doorway my foot slipped. It didn't
slip more than an inch. I'.ut -hat slip
nearly scared me out of a week's
growth of beard that I was wearing at
? r- ? mo. I looked back at tl.e msig
niticant gap thnt I had jumped, and
then down a? the mass OI solid Btone
below. None of that laca like etone
was rn sight. It all looked hard.
. trembled so that I thoupht I would
; shake the temple. I was on one side of
Ithe gap and the only way down wa- on
the other I wanted to get down the
WOrat ?ay. Falling off seemed the
way to get down, but that didn't
I suit me.
I tried to cross that little gap on my
hands and knees and every other way
I could think of, but I would just pet
one foot or one hand across the gap
when I began to concehe a liking
for the place where I was. Around the
outside of the temple runs a little line
of molding and five feet above it an
' other. This is above a sheer drop of
fifty feet, but I went around that n.ol.I
ring, over half the distance around the
temple, rather than cross the gap
> whieh hnd been but a step until my
foot slipped. I have since had to
undergo the punishment of seeing a
woman in a fairly narrow ?k:rt jump
across, hut when I come to that gap I
am a thorouph enword. Some day I
am poinp bark there to force myseif
i across that pap.

Plain People Will Hereafter
Take Little Stock ln Bar Rec*
ommendations, He Says.
No' because l.ouis D. Brandeis. ia a
great Jew, but. because he ia a man,
who by force of ability and character
has attained recognition to a high poai?
tion, was Paahbi Stephen S. Wise's
stated reason for discussing "The
Brandeis (,'asn: Ita Meaning," before
the congregation of the Free Syna
gocue in Carnegie Hall JTOfltorday,
N'otice has been given the I'nited
States Senate, Dr. Wise told hia hear
trs, that hereafter every man nomi
nated to the Supreme Court ia to be
put to the aeid test juat as aeverely aa
j has Brandeis.
"One of these dnys the plain people
I ara* going to turn on these members of
?he bar who V.ave been oppo.-ing Bran
? dcis," said Dr. Wise, "and a?k for their
creiient.ai"."
Dr. Wise termed the fight to keep
Brandeis off the Supreme Court bench
as flagrantly partisan.
"Mr. Brandei3 ia not really a radical,
unles* to use one's mind on eocial eco?
nomic questions is to be a radical,"
aaid Dr. Wise. "!s a man to be called
a wrecker because he haa pointed out
that property is being looted? Are not
they to be blamed who are makers of
the moral muck which he aets out to
clear away?
"Is a man unjudicial because his
m:nd has not been a vacuum. touching
other than legal c*uestions'.' Is it to be
judicial not to think with respect to
extra-legal problem? I3 it not a little
absurd to sav. no more to name him
unjudicial. who brought even-handed
, rder out of the chuos of industrial
turmoil, who invented an instrumentof
peaee such as the protocol has proved
to be ar.d will yet Hgain become? Un?
judicial, forsooth, this most judicial of
| statesmen in the realm of industrial
life!
"As for the judicial mindedness. the
? four or tive legal efllflbritiflfl w-ho pre
sumed to pass upon Mr. Brandeis's f;t
I ne-is and character were absolutely de
barred by the circumstancea of char?
acter from passing justly on the ques?
tion. They did not understand the
mar,.
"Apparently only one type of elient*
tfrr untits a man for the Supreme
Court nameiy, the people. If he
speaks for them hfl hecor."s a danger?
ous person. To the search of life and
character which Mr. Brandeis has
undergone every man hereafter named
for the bench must be subject. In the
light of history of the Brandeis case
we shall hereafter attach less weight
| to the recommendations of the bar as
aociations. Too much of the superior
ethics of the legal profession is found
I to consist of a rather fl;msy profes
?iOBal caste etiquetfe."

Thia department haa entered th* second atage of eerriee to

the aheep of adarertiaing from tha* goet*?and hang a bell on the

a human nature etudy of both aheep ?nd goata. You ere inrited
to aaaiat For mrmry letter printed in thia department deacrib*
ing eaperieneea?pleauant or unpleaaent?with edvertiaera of
merchandiae, emcepting only patent medicinaae, The Tribune will

tiaer. For tho moat important letter each month e apecial pnae
of $50.00, payable aimilarly, will be awarded. Name printed or
withheld?aa you prefer, but muat be aigned or we will not know
where to aend the priae order. Addreaai The Ad-Viaor, The
Tribune, New York.
Is thia of Interest? *? mt T.
It is. It is the form letter of Merrill's Clothes Shop, at 862 Broad?
way, promising $25 clothes for $12 50, and subsequently hedgir.g a bit,
to this effect.
"Don't be skeitical about the price, as we will refund your mor.ey if
you can duplicate .Merrill's Clothes for less than $22.50."
How do they perform these wonder?? Why. quite simply: First, by
being on the second floor and saving: high rent; second, by betng wh**.
Peter Simple's emphatic superior officer might have termed "straight-out,
up-and-down-stairs liars."
Merrill's haven't got $25 clothes for M2.50. They haven't got $22.50
clothes for $12.50. Clothes aren't made that way nor eold that way.
This shop appears to be an imitatoi?with a discount?of the Monroe
Clothes Shops. Now that Monroe has reformed in the "save $10" claimi,
what will the other second-floor exploiters do?
Speaking of guarantees, thia appears to me to be the quinteaaence
of auccinctneaa and aatiafaction.
Here it is.
"Our Guarantee: Thermoid wi!! make good or we will
THERMOID RUBBER COMPANY."
Short, to the point, comprehensive. Has any one seen a better examplet
"Our little groop" of aales people. being fellow anfferera (Mal
purauers) with "Commiasion-Hunter,'r cannot refrain from adding our
opinions to his interesting letter. Therefore,
K salesman emploved by a concern that eneourages retail com
missions is nearly always forced to "work" his liat The aa.ane**
ore small and it is tacitly understood that one can inereaae hia income
through telling P. M. goods. Quantity and not quality ia the order
of the day.
The inevitable hatred incurred by the commission-hunter, how- .
ever. is'a hostility founded on jealousy. Let us assure you that tnere
? re no "conscientious objectors" among retail aalesmen working on a
ealary-commission basis.
Ir. the end the houae is the loser. niscontented clerk. and d.s
natistied customers can be direetly attributod to P. M. aale. And thfl
good. are r.ot always redueed. as "C***}***'***?" '?>"?*;
That hrintrs in another regrettab - feature. Ihe clerk often promisea
