BeIa.co-aAdam and Eva

Guy Bolton and George Middleton,
expert drama artifcers, have writ
ten a new domestic comedy called
Adam and Eva" which will be
shown tomorrow night at the Shu-
bert-Belasco Theater. The comedy
is presented by F. Ray Comstock.
Although the title would suggest
a reference to the Garden OF Eden,
Adam and Eva" is thoroughly mod
ern- Its authors, who also wrote
Polly with a Past" have avoided
even a suspicion OF vulgsrity or a
risque line or scene. There is a
worth while thought in the comedy.
The playwrights have taken a rep
resentative family of wealth COM
prising its hard-worked chief, two
daughters. a son-in-lsw, a sister
in-law and a jewel of a maid. To
this immediate family they have
added a fortune-hunting Scottish
lord. the family physician and Adam.
The authors have had In mind more
than superficial fun-making and
went in for some satirixing Of the
uselessness and extravaganza of our
younger generation OF wallowers in
unearned wealth. However, the
quite necessary love interest is by
no means forgotten.
Mr.. Comstock has selected his
cast and staged his new play with
his usual care and thoroughness. In
the unusually capable cast are. Ruth
Shepley. Otto Kruger. CourteDay
Foote. Ferdinand Gottschalk. John
Flood. Roberta Arnold, Reginald
Mason. William B. Mack. Adelaide
Prince and Jean Shelby. Robert

the two scenes.

 DIOR the past year much in- II terest has been attracted to the country about Holbrook. Ari- zona. with a view to determin- ing it's possibilities for the devel- opment of petroleum in conner cial quantities. For number of years local residents have be- lieved fully in these possibilities but none of them had the cou- rage to undertake the role of the pioneer and demonstrate whether petroleum existed and could be developed. It was our privilege to be engaged by certain inter ests to make an examination of the area about Holbrook to de- termine whether the field posses ses geological and structural features favorable to the exis- tence and the accumulation of petroleum and whether they would be warranted in undertak- ing exploratory work. The first of this work was undertaken in March and April of last year and a preliminary report written. and was continued in several subsequent trips to the field, something more than 2000 square miles being covered.
 It was found that all the coun- try north and east of Holbrook is covered with the sedimentary beds of the Permian series of the Carboniferous age and with those of the Jura-Trias of the early Mesozoic era, while south east, south and on to the west of Holbrook the upper Pennsylvan ian series of the Carboniferous age extends over the entire area

Mir. Fansett Should
 Be Cordially Welcomed

George R. Fansett. a mining engineer who is connected with the Arizona State Bureau o1 Mines, was an arrival in Hol. brook on Wednesday. The ob. ject of Mr. Fansett's visit was to make arrangements for de- livering a lecture early in May, during which he will demonstrate methods for testing rocks foI various minerals. including oil.
 There will be no hi9hbrow stuff pulled at these lectures. or talks, as MT. Fansett prefers to call them, but in plain, ordinary language that may be under stood by anyone familiar with the English language, he will tell the layman how to make simple tests for minerals Tn rocks which may proveinYaluable.
 That MT. Fansett IS peculiarly fitted for this work may be in- ferred from the success which he has met with elsewhere. Re gently he was at Prescott and press reports agree that it was one of the best lectures ever given in that town. The hall was crowded and many were compelled to stand, but it is sad that not single person left un- til the speaker finished.
 It is realized by thinkers that not enough of those for whom it is intended can come to the Uni versity, hence this method of bringing the University to the people. There is no doubt that the work MT. Fansett is doing wilY be of great benefit and. as before stated, he seems pecul- iarly fitted.
 MT. Fansett expects to deliver his talk on or about May 9th, and it is his intention to spend a day or two then in looking over the oil possibilities of this field.
