Royal Magazine (London). What's theidea? Ir you have ever done a hou- dini with a clothes-line in the dark, or been knocked ga-ga by an unexpected fence-post, you'll get the idea—the flash- light idea. “Eveready”’ is a flashlight’s first name—is, was, and always has been. What makes an Eveready Flashlight such a great little detective of am- bushed mud-holes, missing steps and lost ways is its bat- teries. That’s right, they’re Eveready Batteries—good, enough to make any brand of flashlight burn brighter for a longer time. Get started with the fiash- light habit. It has turned many @n uncertain step in the right direction. Confidential Drama Guide (Continued from page 35) Funny Face. Alrin—With us this was love at first sight.

The Critic Who Turned A carmc who wrote about music and drama For a large metropolitan sheet, And turned out a survey of art's pano- rama Consistently bright and complete, Came back to his desk from a concert one night And took out his pencil and started to writes “A splendid performance was given By the crowd in the orchestra seats; Their coughing was clearer, Their sneezing sincerer, Their whispers were musical treats. The ones who came late (Which was all but a few) Did some work that was great As they crashed their way through. Their jiggles, And wiggles, And sniggles Were the best that the season has brought, And the various ushers, Attendants and shushers Were wholly outplayed and outfought. In spite of the loud interruptions From people who stood on the stage The audience rustled Its programs, and hustled To earn, without shirking, its wage. The janitor, too, whom I wish to com- mend, Made the pipes bang away from begin- ning to end.” Then the critic retired for a fortnight of rest, Feeling very much better, with this off his chest. —S.
