FOURTEENTH STREET is taking on

street, which fell into slump when
many of the big stores moved up
town, IS rapidly being regenerated
Business is picking up; people are
again crowding in front of the shop

"Of course" says J. H. Little, Of
AZ West Fourteenth Street, who has
lived in the neighhorhood more than
thirty years, "the people on the street
stores moved away and took the old
timers away. But the new class that
is coming is beginning to liven up the
old hub. The corner Of Fourteenth
Street and Sixth Avenue may never
again attain national reputation, but
Its fame is spreading through New
Jersey, and that is enough to give Us
all the trade we can handle"
With the completion of the new B.

teenth Street. just west OF sixth Ave
nue., it is expected that q new trade
from Brooklyn will be developed. B.

despite the craze to move uptown, says
business is now better than ever

Nugent Aims Attack

Candidate for Governor
Calls on People to Rise
Against Domination by

PATERSON, N. j., July 17.-In the
coming guhernatorial election James R.
Nugent, Democrat and anti prohibition
candidate, says he is sure the voters OF
New Jersey will demonstrate that they
will not wear the collar OF the Anti
night Mr.. Nugent outlined the platform
on which he stands.
II stand for the preservation of state
rights and for the conservation of our
Constitutional rights" ne said. Amer
lea is on trial to-day; the state of New
Jersey also is on trial. The question
of the hour is whether or not this ma
ton and this state are to be autocra-
cies governed by professional reform
ers, who are reformers for revenus
only, or if we are to be free men living
under a free flag.
Hits at Reformers
1T must be apparent that the men OF
America don't like control; that they
are averse to governmental interfer-
ence and restraint, and now that the
world war is over there exists no valid
reason, either in common sense or in
common justice, why free people
should wear the collar of the Anti
Saloon League.
ITO my mind the supreme question
of the hour IS whether the Declaration
of independence and the Constitution,
framed by our fathers, are mere scraps
of paper, 70 be torn up and tossed to
the four winds.
Our unalienable rights are being in
fringed by so-called reformers: our
life, our liberty and our pursuit OF
happiness are being attacked by
coterie of professional anti-saloon men
who are trying to tell you and to tell
me just what we shall eat, just what
we shall drink, just what we shall wear
and just what we shall think.

Ora m a
1.-The Crimson Alibi" Has Its
First Performance at
the Broadhurst
By Haywood Broun

The Crimson AIibi," the new mystery
play which was produced at the Broad
hurst last night, is entirely successful
in diverting suspicion from the guilty
man. This was the first detective play
we ever saw which fooled all the lobby
guessers.
Nor was this due to any lack in the
range which the conjectures covered.
The success in throwing suspicion of
the scent is due to a simple but in
genious trick which is new. we think,
in the construction of plays of this
kind. The dramatization lis by George
Broadhurst and the play is founded on
novel by Octavius Roy Cohen. Mrs.
Lillian Trimble Bradley has done an ex
cellent job in staging the play.
Although the chief device on which
The Crimson Alibi" rests is simple
and fair, the play is not consistent
throughout. 1t does not hold up at
every point when subjected to the test
of being reviewed backward. One OF
the things which lead to the discovery
ter mind, is the fact that the murderer
wore rubber gloves to conceal finger
prints. and yet the hand, which is all
the audience. sees of the murderer il
the stage darkened prologue. was in
sistently naked.
The play is slow to gain pace. and
the short prologue and the two scenes
of the first act are rather long drawn
ard tedious After that the action
picks up, and there is plenty of excite
ment derived from a mum ber Of theat
rically effective situations.
The appeal Of the play lies wholly
in its trickery, for at no time does it
carry any air of reality. Practically
all the dialogue is artificial and stilted.
The humor ls strained and repetitious
and the sentiment palpably false for
the most part in spite of two excellent
performances. 1t is fair to suggest that
these are not major considerations in
a murder mystery play. dramatist
may be said to be successful in this
style of entertainment if he can in
terest his audience in the course of his
story and surprise 1t by the develop
ments. This Mr.. Broadhurst has done
except in his first act. Close charac-
ter drawing, of course, is not essential
and there isn't any.
The playing varies from good to bad.
Harrison Hunter. who plays the part
of the amateur detective who finds the
solution, has just as wide variation
as that in his own work He is ex-
ceedingly effective in all his scenes of
cross-eXamination, whether he roars in
third degree fashion or gently draws
the witness out, but he makes IS clam
my and frigid love as we have seen on
the stage for some seasons. There
We're times when the theatre seemed
20 dgrees cooler than the street.
Perhaps the most consistently good
performance was that of Robert Kelly
as an escaped convict. Bertha Mann
was also very good and played an
motional scene with a good deal OF
compelling drive. William II. Thomp-
. son also gave an effective performance,
: as did John Ellis.
Naturally. we feel bound to secrecy
as to the details of the plot, and we
could not think of squealing on the
person who committed the murder.
We must confess that we were all at
sea as to his or her identity until just
before curtain time
