MONTAGUE GLASS STUDIED
CHARACTERS PRACT1CING LAW

1t Is interesting to know that Mon
tague Glass, the author OF the famous
Potash and Perlmutter stories In the
Saturday Evening Post, studied his
characters at first hand, while a
young lawyer in New York City. In
fact, the author admits that he was
often more interested in his clients
than in their troubles and that it was
the literary possibilities rather than
the legal proba bilities that attracted
him during his service at the bar.
Young Mr.. Glass-yes Montague
Glass Is his real nane--had what is
known as a "commercial' practice,
and among his patrons were many
'Abes' and "Mawrusses." but Mr..
Glass insists that his Potash and PERL
mutter. Lawyer Feldman. and the
others, are all composite characters.
OF course. their adventures are pure
fiction, but their speech, thought and
actions. are not. for during his ten
years in practice the future literary
celebrity stored his memory with an
infinite number of details. and when
he finally began to set down his fic-
ton characters on people he found
II easy TO invest them with that spirit
or fidelity that did so much to COM
mand immediate recognition on the
part of the reading public.
Mr. Glass world-renowned charac-
tiers Will soon be seen here in the flesh
and blood for Potash and Perlmut-
ter. the famous comedy which comes

THE CLIMBERS" Is
ATTRACTION AT COLONIAL

The Climbers" from the famous
play OF the same name by Clyde
Fitch, Is the Colonial attraction to-
day and tonight.
The story deals with a captain of
industry supposedly of iisaitiess
wealth. with an Unfortunately extrava-
giant family, whose chief object in life
Is to cnmh to great social heights and
assist other climbers to mount with
them. The younger daughters assist
their mother In the management OF
the social functions of the household,
but the elder daughter. Blanche, mar
ried TO Dick Sterling. a young attor-
ney, whose sole ambition liz to make
a killing In the stock market, cares
more for the domestic interests OF
her immediate family and the per-
sonai upbringtng and education OF her
little son Sterling finally gives up
the Law and becomes ohsessed with
the one idea to make great name
for himself as speculator in stocks.
With such a goal 1t In natural that
he should sacrifice his wife, which he
does through inattention and neglect.
Fortunately. Ned Warren, a wealthy
young stock broker. who Ia secretly
in love with Blanche, serves az the
good fellow well met, who hrings
many ray Of sunshine from an erst-
while dark and forbidding cloud.
The Climbers" 10 truly a powerful
play, without being sensational or
overdrawn. Gladys Hanson plays the
part of the wife. George Soule Epen-
Ger that of Ned Warren. and Walter
Hitchcock that OF the husband.

Chester team has no rival in the

The plan is To build up teams with

into competition with each other for
local supremacy. The teams, IL the
plan is worked out, will. include the
names OF many local business houses
and the young men who compose
them will play each other FOR no other
particular reason than to enl!ven lotai
interest, while at the same time the
men themselves learn the game, IN
this manner the Y. VI c. A. hopes TO
create among the Norfolk bask etbail
lovers healthier competition. Prob

composing the several teams have
been learned. there may be a Weed

As things stood last year only eX-
pert players had a chance on The Cen

competing against other expert teams
throughout the State. Likewise many
local basketball enthusiasts Lost inter

no personal friends on the team. II
this years plan is put into force every
man who wants to play basketball will
have chance 20 do so and all his
friends Will have the opportunity to
