The farewell week of Denman 
Thompson’s great American master- 
piece, ‘‘The Old Homestead,’’ will 
be inaugurated, commencing Mon- 
day, May 11th, when for the last 
times will be given the opportunity 
to theatregoers in general to view 
this grand old play, that has had a 
triumphal career of 28 seasons. 
The company this season includes 
many of the original cast still por- 
traying the characters they first 
played in this grand old play 28 
years ago, and still giving them the 
quality that years of experience has 
enabled them to do. E, L. Snader 
still portrays the character made 
famous by Denman Thompson, and 
in such a masterly manner, that 
comparison would seem to be in- 
vidious. 
Charles Clark is still the Seth Per- 
kins, and one of the corner stones 
of the performance. Gus Kammer- 
lee still plays Henry Hopkins in the 
same skillful and hearty manner as 
before. 
The popular seale of prices still 
prevails; the scale is 25, 50, 75 and 
$1.00 for the evenings and Satur- 
day matinee, and bargain matinees 
at 25e and 50c¢ are given on Tues- 
day, Wednesday and Friday. Seats 
can be reserved at the box office or 
by telephone, Oxford 722. 
The Crisis in Gum Chewing. 
An acute condition is likely to 
make its effect known among gum 
chewing stenographers, ribbon clerks 
and effeminate young men, as it is 
found by the Pan-American Bureau 
at Washington that there are 10,- 
000,000 inveterate chewers of gum 
in the United States. Chickle may 
be Greek to most of these people, 
but to make it clear it is explained 
that chickle is the sap of the sapote 
tree, technically known as sapota 
zapotilla; and these Spanish jaw- 
breaking words explain just how 
most of our chewing gum is made.

ant, yet how about sapota zapotilla? 
If anything should happen in Mex- 
ico that would cut off this gum sup- 
ply it would lead to complications 
quite as far-reaching as those other 
affairs we have with Huertaites, the 
Carranzas and Villas. It takes 300,- 
000,000 packages of gum annually 
to run the United States, and Mex- 
ico has to supply practically all of 
the sap of the sapote. With this in 
mind, the gum echewers will wish for 
the success of the meditation plan 
as proposed by the A. B. C. powers. 
Amending the ‘‘Free Tolls’’ Bill. 
The free tolls controversy now 
again rages in the Senate of the 
United States, and it is significant 
that the bill is in danger inasmuch 
as some of the Administration Sen- 
ators have met the objections to a 
change of the canal act by ineluding 
the following paragraph in the law 
which proposes to place the vessels 
of all nations passing through the 
canal on an equal footing. The pro- 
posed amendment reads: ‘‘The pas- 
sage of this act, or anything there- 
in contained, shall not be construed 
as Walving, impairing, or affecting 
any rights posessessed by the United 
States, under treaty or otherwise,’’
