talks with the gift of eloquence, j
and if the play were to close witji j
the first act it would be rather con-j
vinc-ing for the drys.
And the examples it presents must
carry great weight with any audi
ence. Max Dill, for instance, in
the character of Albert Waigner:
As saloonkeeper for thirty years, he
has earned hardly more than a liv

business, gives him a library with
a revolving partition carrying books
on one side and a fine array of bot

"Sure!” saavatstiicaMy agrees Dill. ;
"The dry**** >,(>u make them, the .
more they drink!”
Certainly these are truths. And :
they may be adapted to suit the |
beliefs of either side. !
"It hurts me to think of the ,
money that’s wasted on !>ooze.” j
Kolb proclaims. “With the motley i
that is spent on whisky in one year. ]
you could bud Id a bridge aoross the '
Atlantic ocean and back again." j
"What good would that bridge1
be?" DP11 demands. “It would only
put the ships out 6f business.”
“If you had the bridge, you
wouldn't need any s blips."
"Then what good would the oc

John Fee. playing the ex-"Bum"

"I’ve found out what prohibition

In Seattle, where "Now And
Then" was played a few weeks ago.
She An^i-Saloon League took, ex
ception to the play and sent a rep
resentative to discuss 'ft vrtith Kolb
and Dill. No nation was taken. In
two Oregon cities. Grants Pass
and Medford, ministers preached
about the comedy and declared that
it waw propaganda.
"Our play is not propaganda,”
sold Clarence Kolb, when he tolc
me about this. "We are not fin
anced Ivv any wet 'interests, as has
been alleged. We pay for every
thing but the near-beer we use in
the sa!oo.n scene on the stage; and
tha* is given to us. We have a
good fun-play and we amuse the
public with it. If the prohibition
ists. or anybody else, will bring us
a comedy that meets, our require
ments as ‘Now And Then’ does, we
will be glad to play it next season
and for the privilege of playing fct
we will pay a handsome royalty—
which aft the minimum in three
states alone would reach $15,000."
The audiences applaud both sides
of the argument and laugh all the
time.—(By Thomas Nuna-n. in the
