with the familiar figures of talented au
'.horn. p»*eis. musicians, scientists and
with poverty as ih handicap, and some
>f the greatest aehievments of the
brightest minds have been accompanied
with hunger and want. If it happens
thus in the styry I »ooks. it is always a
.peetacular and gratifying finale for the
hero to finally win attention and a pro
ve I suddenly for his work jumping from
penury to affluence. As these firings arc
told in novels, so they happened in
real lif«‘ in the case of young Walter,
.he playwright, who awoke from a night
mare of adversity to find two of his
plays th** rag** of the theatrical season
*i last year In New York.
Walter was formerly a newspaper re
porter on New York dallies, a hard grind
•Mg livelihood. N.ihieil only As a step to
something better. His ambition lay to
ward dramatic writing, and he wrote
seversl plays without being able to in
duce managers to produce them. His
mention to finer writing overshadow* I
hit Interest lit newspopet work to such
in extent that he often found himself
out of a position ami without funds, on
account of the time required in trying
to gain a hearing for his plays. For sev
•r.tl months before his tlrst play, "Paid
In Full." w h produced. Walter had be i
sleeping on benches in t*»e parks ami
eating whenever he could conquer his
prhle to Approach a friend.
The next mo’ttlng after its first per*
form m e N -w A«»ik was agog with the
announcement of a great dramatic sue
cess, hailing the arrival of a new dra
matic writer of c aihts Eufi'ttr Walter.
With toy dtles pouring In. he was now
living In fMintlal apartments, faring Ilk •
t km*. T man-.get w>i> -*kirg him
out to negotiate for his next play. 8o«» t
he drew forth his second play, "The

j Charles If. Yale’s "Everlasting Devil’s !
I Auction" which by virtue of its capacity*:
to keep abrciu". of the times has earned ,
j -he sobriquet preceding its title, is now
! playing en tour to audiences that have
! history to consider in viewing
j the production that has outlived almost )
i everything except Shakespeare.
I Twenty-six years ago when James S. !
I Maffit and his partner, Bartholomew,
! were involved in the telling of the story
they ran the show with gas light and
tallow dips and flash boxes, and when j
* lefctrlcty began to be used the scheme
of giving the show was changed to keep
abreast of the times and newer condi
tions. The title underwent the same j
sort of brushing up until there was noth
ing left but "everlasting" to describe its i
quality.
In all these years the "Devil’s Austlon"
has gone ahead supplying the amuse- .
ment public with a couple of hours of
anticipated pleasure, until Us nnnniingf
m> uta have gained a sort of importance
so that events arc dated from its codig-
Jug and going, and a reward for good
l»cha\ior held out to young folks, "that
tl"‘.v will he taker-, to see the "Rverlast

You May Choose for Yourself
EITHER
“Hard Times” or “Good Times”
FOR IT HAS COME TO BE A PERSONAL PROr
LEM WITH EACH BUSINESS MAN.
The "hard times" are over, generally speaking.
They are not over tor those people who are content to have
them continue.
With the advent of Fall activities In business will come to
each merchant, to each man who la conducting a business, the oppor
tunity to say a long good bye to ‘ hard times," or to cling to them
a little longer.
It la to be. largely, a test of courage—the making of this
choice. test of advertising courage—mainly.
The stranger business men will choose good times as a mat
ter of course and will proceed to make the eholce effertlve by a
campaign of real advertising. There will be better, bigger, more ef
fective advertising done this Fall than ever before.
The afraid-merchant will wonder "where the money is coming
from to pay the bills,” lie will. In some eases, decide that he
i.iu. n "take the risk " Th .1 will be HIS DECISION FOR "HARD
TIMES" In preference to "good times," so far as he, personally,
is concerned. pi
Prosperity is row a personal ouestion. Yourt is * per
sonal question with you. This is both true and important.
