this week before its introduction to
New York at the 3sth Street Theater,

dramatist as declaring that "one of
the greatest booms to the cause Of
red socialism in this country was the
enactment of the prohibition amend
ment."
The foregoing is what the publicity
representative has to say Of Mr.. Dix
on's new play. There is consolation in
the fact that publicity representatives
are not always chroniclers of fact;
that their zeal for success ofttimes has
been known to overlap discretion and
that often. very. very often their gilt

pure gold Of truth. These reservations
are made also with the further reser-
walton that there are press agents and
