to the National Theater this week from

is described by Mr.. Woods as AN up-tO-
date garment in three pieces, made by
our special designer from material in
the famous Saturday Evening Post
stories by Montague Glass, a description
so cannily worded that you may take
your choice as to whether Mr.. Glass
wrote the play as well as the stories
or not. AS a matter of fact that's a
little secret between Mr.. Glass and Mr.
Woods, but there Is no ambiguity about
