By Flarriette Underhill

The first act of "39 East" frightened
US, because it reminded us of the
boarding house which we used to live
in long ago, and we were in the chorus,
too, like Constance Binney, and didn't
want any one to know it. The only
difference was that there was no nice
Henry Hull to marry US and take us
away. There never is in real life. If
you haven't an independent fortune and
don't like the idea of starving for six
months in the year, you. have to give
up the struggle and become a news
paper woman.
And If people would only believe 1t,
this is the real "happy ending" too.
But they always demand coy eyes"
from the heroine and orange blossoms
or rumors of orange blossoms all over
the place. We, of course, are not any
different from all the rest, and we ac
cept with blissful sigh what we would
absolutely balk at in real life.
"39 East" furnishes all of the things
which people who go to the theatre go
to the theatre for. 1t has the beautt
full and prosecuted heroine, the f1,rta-
tlous widow. the sophisticated owner of
the boarding house, the jovial male
boarder, the prim sisters and the manly
lover who misunderstands and then
suddenly understands.
We liked Hoprv rJ,11 - =,

and didn't even think that he had mis-
understood until he admitted It him
self, and we loved him for the wav In
which he admitted it and made instant
reparation.
of course, we gave Miss Crothers
part OF the credit for making such a
nice hero-Miss Crothers's heroes are
always nice-and Mr.. Hull gave her
all of the credit later on when we
talked to him. Once before wa bavo

He is charming and we liked him
so much that We couldn't bear to haye

At Palisades Amusement Park, which

Schenck Brothers have added another

now one of the largest amusement
parks in the country. Five new rides

over the conversation and blue pen
ell it, but we said: "No, we never say
anything that we shouldn't"
And then Mr.. Hull spoke his mind
and voiced his real opinion of critics.
Have you ever noticed that people
who would never dream Of criticising
any Of the other arts think nothing
of setting themselves up as authority
on the drama and the exponents
thereof? And this applies to every
one-not alone the critics. It's ap-
pallingl" And Henry Hull looked sad.
But he needn't, for, as far back as
we can remember, he has nothing to
complain of; and from now on if
anybody criticises him and we find it
out-well, we shall make a point of
telling them that they are wrong,

that the prim sisters were giving
their musical. That classic of the
vintage of "The Maiden's Prayer
must not be missed So we prepared
to rush away.
"Come back again after the perform
ance, will you?" said Mr.. Hull, and we
felt that this was q distinct triumph,
as he doesn't like to be interviewed at
any time and particularly after the
theatre.
So, after Constance Binney had said
Because l want to-" and had kissed
Mr.. Hull, thereby becoming his fiancee,
we went back to finish our interview.
You know very we'll that it doesn't
matter in the least what l say. News
paper people have a way of saying what
they like, and, after all, people aren't
interested in what l think-they are
interested in what you think"
mo, Mr.. Hull, you're wrong. They
are interested in what we think you
think, perhaps. but probably more in
what you are," we said with conv,c-
ton. "Why, even we never cease 70

and it's surprising what some peon]e

"Meaning?"
