Tuesday morning at the Piedmont
hotel was held the first annual meet
Jng of the Women's Organization of
the National Association Retail Drug
gists. The crowded ' assembly hall,
and the enthusiasm manifested, were
Indicative of the amazing growth of
the auxiliary, w'hlch at the youthful
age of one year is a well organized
body, meeting a distinct need among
the retail druggists of America.
The session w'as opened with an In
vocation by Rev. E. D. Purser. Fol
lowing this Mrs. Sam D. Jones extend
ed to the visiting ladles a greeting of
welcome. Mrs. Jones spoke gracefully
of the mission of a woman’s organlza'
ilnn, and incidentally and with some
gentle humor of the mission in a world
of aches, of the retail druggist. At the
conclusion of her talk she presented to
the president of the organization. Mrs.
Emma Gary Wallace, a magnificent
bouquet of yard-grown roses.
In a few well chosen words Mrs.
Wallace responded for the organiza
tion to Mrs. Jones’ greeting, paying a
pretty tribute to Georgia and to Geor
gia hospitality.
An address was made by Mr. T. V.
Wooten, of Chicago, secretary of the
national association. He told Inter
estingly of the growth of the associa
tion of druggists from a membership
of 100 to a membership of 40,000, and
he prophesied the same phenomenal
increase in the women's organization.
An interesting fact, stated by Mr.
Wooten, w*as that the association of
druggists grew out of a meeting called
some years ago in St. Louis, for the
purpose of protesting against the tax
ation laid on retail drugs during the
Spanlsh-Ametican war.
It w'as not until the address of Mrs.
Wallace, the president, that the alms
of the women’s organization were made
clearly known to those In the audience
who were not members of the associa
tion. Mrs. Wallace stated that the
purpose of the organization is to pro
mote good feeling and a closer sym
pathy among the families of this vast
body of retail druggists.
She spoke of the strenuous condi
tions which now govern the retail
trade, of the incompetency of libor
and the fierce competition which de
mand the constant attention of the
druggist, and that he foregoes to a
large extent every social pleasure. In
this Isolation his family necessarily
shares. Believing In the necessity of
some organization w'hlch would pro
mote the brotherhood and sisterhood
of the profession, bringing the co-
workers Into closer touch, the Wom
an’s Auxiliary organized In Boston with
a small membership. This was little
over a year ago, and local chapters
now exist In the large cities and in
scores of small towns.
Mrs. Wallace spoke with ease and
fluency, her delightful voice adding
to the enjoyment of her listeners.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing was the reports made by Mrs. I.
M. Light, president of the Chicago
chapter, and Mrs. Adelaide M. God
ding, president of the Boston chapter.
These reports, besides showing what
specific work the (Chicago and Boston
chapters are accomplishing, gave a
concise Idea of the general lines along
which each chapter Is conducted.

“Not Yat But 8oon.”
Hap Ward and his bunch are all to
the good. That was the verdict at the
Bijou Monday night. Ward Is good,
Lucy Daly is better, and Frtd Wykoff
is the limit, and then some. They all
got the glad hand on their first appear
ance. and then nt rtlpld Intervals dur
ing the performance, which the man
agers call a "komedy kackle In two
lays.”
Fred Wykoff is the famous rube of
’The Telephone Girl,” and afterwards
with the "Busy Izzy” combinations,
and he Is the same rube now—but with
many new jokes nnd a fresh make-up.
The best thing he did Monday night
was his old-time favorite, "Down On
the Farm," and it brought recall after
recall. He was easily the feature of
the bill.
Lucy Daly is not the Lucy of yore.
She dons an even more grotesque
make-up than her companion, Mar
garet Daly Vokes. ever dared, but she
gets away with it. Her dancing re
calls the Lucy of other days, however
So, one ever forgot one of those Daly
dances.
Hap Ward Is the same old Hap, but
he doesn’t seem nt homo without
Vokes. He doesn’t have the opporunlty
without his foil, but he makes the best
what he has.
But there are others. John C. Hart
ns the dope fiend, does a bit worth go

pretty girls—us chorus girls go—so
many costumes that It must keep them

All his plays are hits. All his songs
have found their way Into nearly every
home In America, which It is variously
estimated that his Income from his
various partnerships, royalties, etc.,
amount to over one hundred thousand
a year. Mr. Cohan never went to
school but ten weeks In his life and
has been on the stage ever since he
was five years of age.
"I hate to talk about myself," re
cently remarked Mr. Cohan In an In
terview, "but I honestly think I did a
whole lot of good for musical comedy
when I wrote nnd produced ‘Little
Johnny Jones.’ It was the firit Ameri
can-made dong play that really told u
story and which did not allow the mu
sical Interruptions to smother the plot.
Then I wrote and produced ’Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway,* nnd the so-
called ‘wise ones’ who . witnessed the
rehearsals questioned my right to be
running about without a keeper. It
seemed almost Impossible to convince
any member of the theatrical profes
sion that heart interest would blend
with music. The wild thought of a
dramatic situation In this style of en
tertainment was absolutely ridiculous
to the crowd.
"But one criticism was offered by
all who had even an Inkling ns to what
the play was like: ’You’ll have to make
it a straight melodrama or get rid of
the pathos and have a musical com
edy.’ I was true, however, to my orig
inal Iden, musical melodrnmn, and so
today we have them with rallrond
w recks, hank robberies and automobile
races. In fact, all the effects that were
ever used In the modern drama are
now being resurrected and wedded to
musical ensemble."
"Forty-five Minutes From Broad

“The Heir to the Hoorah.”
Coming events cast their shadows
before, and nil the poster fiends In the
town have been noting the shadow of
the extend'd wings of the baby-bear-
Ing stork which advertises "The Heir
\o |he Hoorah," at the Grnnd Thursday
night. The shadows of the stork’s
wings apparently extended over the
happy home of Frank Monroe, stage
manager of "The Heir to the Hoorah"

York, for a lusty boy. slightly exceed
ing the conventional ten pounds weight,

early hours of Sunday morning. Miss
Beecher, Miss Lnckaye nnd Miss Dal
ton, of the company, disputed the
honor of being god-mother to the
baby, while Ouy Bates Bost, Ben Hig
gins and Ernest Lamson have, carrying
out the sentiment of Mr. Armstrong’s
comedy, already nominated themselves
committee for providing the infant
th a suitable birth gift. Theater
goers who have laughed at "The Heir
the Hoorah" will understand that
these excited gentlemen are, to use the
vernacular of the pavement,
against It" If they live up to the char
acters they play upon the stage
regard to that same birth gift. In the
play Mr. Armstrong makes Bud Young.
