lug survey, conducted by him and his
economics classes recently among
Houston families.
The people here enjoy a wider varl- j
ety of labor Having devices and ad- j
vanecinent goods than In the average
city, in- said. Tin Houston survey litis j
been made in connection with a na- ;
tlomil one under the direction of Dr.
Panic! Starch of Harvard I'nlverslty. j
Mr. Dameron left Thursday for Chi-!
cago to attend a meeting of the na-
tlonat Chain Store Research group

tistical procedure for the coming year.

lo Washington to attend a meeting1
of the American Kcouomlcs Associa-
tion. and at this meeting he will read
a paper before the marketing group

Principles of Merchandising" Is now

uscript for this work, Mr. Dameron'
stated, was accepted lost March but
It has, roiiuiri'd a period of ten or.
c leven months tor the publishers to

In the past months Mr. Dameron;
lias been working with the Chain!

-tatisiieal study of chain store groups.

BEAUMONT PRAISE
ROTH ROYAL FAMILY
Get Favorable Publicity from
Newspapers and Critics
Ketaiuing the artistic and dramatic
finish that ho marked the Houston
performances of the Royal Family,
tho Rice Dramatic Club entertained
two flea urn out audiences at the City
Auditorium there Saturday. With what
appreuluMon the play was received
was revealed In the Beaumont Sun-
day Enterprise of Dec. 15. Concl. nd-
iug a favorable account, of make-up,
incidental properties, scenery, and
wardrobe, and appreciative individual
criticisms on each actor's ability, the
critic summarized. "Nothing smacked
of the makeshift."
Twenty-five members of the Dra-
matic Club, comprising the caBt and
executive committee, left the Grand
Central Station for Beaumont at 7:55
a. tu. Saturday. They were met at
the Heauniont station by Misses Hel-
en Williams. Hazel Reid, Frances
Ovorcasli and Pauline Sternenberg
ami Messrs, J. H. Smith, Jackson
Purdy, F. C. Kennedy, and Jerry Lil-
ian! who had arrived Friday to do
preliminary work on the sets. The
whole party drove In parade through
tho down-town district and then to
the auditorium where final prepara-
tions were made for the performances.
lack Scott and Charles Reece Tay-
lor, playing the respective roles of Gil
Marshall and Joe (the butler), were
the two new members of the cast.
Hoth gave creditable performances,
and merit the more applause because
of their necessarily limited prepara-
tion.
A It hea Hill and Bill Lee, who so ,
deservingly captured the admiration j
of Houston audiences three weekB ;
ago. had lost none of tho charm of i
their interpretation Saturday; but Bee |
Harrison, as Fanny Cavendish and |
Jimmy Parker as Wolfe, proved Beau-1
mont's favorites. The Enterprise,
speaking nf Miss .Harrison, said, "she i
displayed an ease that means art as i
well as training;" and of Mr. Parker,1
"carrying a foreign accent that never |
lapsed, and making a realistic use ot [
gesture and expression, this youth re
veil led a considerable knowledge
what's what on the stagn.
FOR HOLY CANTATA
Special Christmas Sermon
Will Be Delivered by
Dr. Peter Gray Sears
Choral work was completed late
this week for the beautiful sacred
cantata, "Bethlehem, " by Maunder, to
he given by the choir of the Palmer
Chapel at the Christmas service, Sun-
day morning, December 22. A spe-
cial Christmas sermon will be dtfliv.
ered by Dr. Sears.
The first part opens with an organ
solo, which creates the atmosphere
of a starlit night on the plains of
Hthlehom. A little shepherd boy
muses as he watches over Ills sheep.
This quiet, restful solo Is followed
by a chorus, "Glory to God in the
Highest," which swells to a thrilling
climax.
In solos and duets the shepherds
discuss the wondrous thing which
has come to pass and an unaccom-
panied quartet gives the picture of
the little town of Bethlehem and the
inn.
A stirring chorus followed by "He
Is Our Peace" closes the first part
of the cantata.
Part II is introduced by au organ
solo giving the atmosphere of night
in the desert.
Part III opens with a quiet chorus
which creates an atmosphere of awe
and reverence.
A beautiful lullaby is followed by
a chorus number depicting our gifts
to tiie Holy One. This works up to
a glorious hallelujah. The cantata
ends with Ibe Christmas hymn
"Adeste Fldeles."
Miss Louise C. Daniel Is organist
and director of the choir.
