New York.-"The New York Idea
has been a much-discussed play. Peo
ole have wanted to know why Mr.,
Langdon Mitchell, leveling his satire
ct divorce, was at pains to describe
7 as New York idea.
II chose New York for my title be-
cause New York is the greatest Of
American cities and reflects American
life," Mr.. Mitchell explained: ..'The
play might have been called The
Chicago Idea or The Philadelphia
Idea just as well, suppose. The
most explicit title would probably be
The American Idea.'"
I'm other words" remarked the re-
porter, "you used the words New
York to mean America, just as we say
Paris when we mean France, or
speak of London when we think Of
England?" y

you do on the divorce question:"
