Mr. and _ Mrs. John Goddard re turned Sunday from a ihrce-inonths' 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. The second and last session of the convention will be held In the assembly room at the Piedmont Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock. The program will be as follows: Call to order. Report of committee on credentials. Address—Mr. B. E. Prttchard, Mc Keesport, Pa. Address—Mr. VV. O. Frallley, Lan caster, Po. Report of board of management.

THE THEATERS L.„ ................ “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 Ing a mile to see. There are swarms of pretty girls—us chorus girls go—so many costumes that It must keep them changing In the wings, and songs ga lore. Few better productions will bo seen at the Bijou this season.

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 way" will be seen nt the Grand Tues day night nnd Wednesday matinee nnd night. “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" mipnny, while the cc^npany was play ing at the Acndemy of Music, New York, for a lusty boy. slightly exceed ing the conventional ten pounds weight, came to the Monroe household in the 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. Dave Lacy, Wlnthrop and Kelly ex claim In quick succession when the announcement of Joe’s boy Is made "Give him a spoon? Hell! "Give him a mine!" "Stake him to a ranch!" "Weil show him that we’re n< pikers!" The Monroe baby has surely aurlfer ous expectations from Its father's friends and fellow players. “Playing th* Game.” In "Playing the Game,” the new comedy which Cleveland Moffett and Hartley Davis have w ritten for Joseph and William W. Jefferson, the former Mr. Jefferson has a part that Is some what new to the stage, that of a court ly polished Southern gentleman, the real gentleman that Is met so frequent ly below the Mason and Dixon line, and to which type Joseph Jefferson Is peculiarly adapted. William W. Jeffer son plays "Percy Charlton." a social butterfly, and In which he has made a distinct hit. "Playing the Game" will be seen at the Grand on Friday and Saturday of this week.
