The Unfading Name of
the Hamm, rsteins.

The name of Hammerstein is not
likely to fade from. the annals Of the
American stage, despite the death of
the great impressario. For he has
two able descendants to carry on the
Hammerstein tradition Of "the best is
none too good"
Joan of Arkansaw," the new musi-
ral comedy which opens a weeks en-
gagement at the Belasco Theater to-
night, bears the imprint of both the
present Hammersteins. Oscar Ham,
merstein, second, grandson of the n.
presario having written the engaging
book and delightful lyrics, and Ar
thur Hammerstein, the impresario's s
on, having produced the piece. Fur
thermore, from all reports, Joan"
follows the Hammerstein tradition by
setting new high standard for musi-
cal comedies.
For many years now the Hammer
stein tradition has been one of the
best factors in American stage circles.
Oscar Ham nerstein himself p""bab'y
di more than any producer save Be-
lasco to raise the stand rds of Ameri-
can amusement. And his tradition is
safe in the hands of his grandson and
his son.
