to their credit. The other members of
the supporting cast, especially Joe Me

principals and contribute their share to-

Richard Buhler, as the intrepid hero,
treats the comic and romantic elements
of the part with equal adeptness. Miss
Nelson is pleasing as the Princess Maria

Kentucky feudist and promises to fol-

Stanley James has an unusually good
chance as Rusty, the Kentuckian's body
servant. who adds an eccentric color ef-
feet to the mediacval atmosphere. In
the weird castle scene of the last act
Rusty kept the audience shouting at his
shivery antics.
Mr.. Corbett and Mr.. HawIey do good

''The Third Party"

How good The Third Party" would be

/ with a comedy method sc extraordinarily
like genius that this clever invention of

seemed as IL another line, another move

stage would produce a state of whole

irrepressible young man finds himself
unexpectedly involved in endless en-

Much of the material OF the piece is
old. and nothing about il seems Eng

characters But the ingenuity of its
surprises and complications disarm
criticism on such a point as that.
Some scenes should, and doubtless
will be sOftened and the fire scene in

Even at that. however, The Third

caused these decreases. which are not
peculiar TO the Pennsylvania Railroad.
These causes still exist, and in addition,
the gross revenues of the system hav,
beer steadily decreasing since last Oc-
tOber.
While many other railroad systems
began to reduce forces in the middle OF
1918. the Pennsylvania system contin-
ued It's usual train service and work
ing force as long as possible.
In view Of the fact. however. that
