teThe Toy GirIo

Eugene Walters latest play, "The
Toy Girl" which will have its first
presentation November 9th. next
Tuesday night at the Majestic the
atre, with a distinguished company
Of actors Is said to be one of the
most delightful efforts that has yet
come from the pen of this foremost
American dramatist. H. II. Frazee,
who is producing this play intends
to bring the play directly to New
York following it's tryout here.
."Tryouts'' of plays by distinguish
ed authors such as Eugene Walter
happens to be. are invariably con-
fined to New York City and are not
attended by the public, but the con-
gested condition of the New York
theatres and the many shows that
are waiting in and around New
York to get a chance to obtain
Broadway recognition. has forced
producers to send new productions
for a short run outside New York for
the purpose of whipping the COM
pany and production into shape for
the metropolitan opening. This is
not always considered necessary
when a play is directed by the au-
thor such as The Toy Girl has been;
such a play is permitted to open
''cold" in New York, and so local
theatregoers car look forward to
what is equivalent TO a metropolitan
premiere the opening night of 1.-THE
Toy Girl here.
THE Toy Girl around which the
plot of this new play revolved is one
of those modern petted society girls
who, being beautiful and accom-
plished, supposes that everyone ac-
cepted her as she accepted herself
and hey always did. She is a wo-
man who symbolizes the present at
titude of society in mot what l can

numerous incidents are all sufficient
~ mirth provoking to make the play
one that promises al unforgetable

A. The Difmas-

When producers turn to comedy
efforts in their productions they in
variably draw up on the limitless
store of slapstick ingredients. They
think for q moment that a
comedy should be based upon a gem
uine logical idea. They go in for
cheap burlesque or grotesque antics.
Pie-slinging, clown policemen, trick
automobiles. a fire-horse, a few
manholes in the. pavement, these are
the properties of the ordinary
comedy. up In Mary's Attic" the
super-comedy feature coming TO the
Ditmas Theatre today is shedding a
beacon light because 1t breaks away
from the conventional pattern and
presents a comedy which is not based
upon circus tricks for its high lights,

M. C.. Brice's Suit
Against Baronet
Reported Settled
Song Writer'S Lawyer Admits
Complaint in Mysterious
$500, 900 Action Will Not
Be Brought Into Courts

Though the lawyers concerned re-
fused to discuss yesterday the $780,
900 damage suit brought by Marvele
c. Brice against Sir Hugo Cunliffe-
Owen, British tobacco magnate, it was
said by friend of Brice and his for
mer wife, who is pow Lady Cunliffe-
Owen, that the case had been settled
both sides.
On Broadway, where Brice is we'll
known as a result of his achievements
as song writer, there was story
current last night that Brice's lawyer
Hartford T. Marshall, OF Rector
Street, had effected a financial settle
ment with Sir Hugo through the lat
ter's close friend and attorney, f. P.
Warfield, of 81 West Forty-fourth
Street.
Mr.. warfeld refused to make
statement as to the present status of
the suit. but Mr.. Marshall while in
clined to be equally reticent, admitted
that the complaint in the action had
not been filed and would not be. Those
familiar with the various angles of
the mysterious damage suit regarded
this as a sure indication that the ac-
ton had been settlSd privately and
will never be brought into the courts.
Brice is said to be employed by
music publisher in this city, but
diligent checking up of these places
yesterday failed to reveal his where
abouts, although his name appeared to
be we'll known to the trade.
The summons in the action was
served on Sir Hugo early in March on
the eve of his departure with his bride
for England, where they are now living
on one of his large estates. A few
days later notice of the suit was filed
in the Supreme Court here, but it car
ried no information beyond the fact
that Marvellc c. Brice asked judg
ment of 100000 against Sir Hugo
Cunliffe- Owen fer damages alleged to
have been sustained by the complain
ant. The nature of the alleged dam
ages was not given.
Before her marriage to Brice at
Asbury Park on March 13, 1914, the
present Lady Cunliffe- Owen was known
as Maize Oliver and had sung in caba-
rets and appeared in the movies. She
gave her age as eighteen when she
married Brice. In November, 1918,
while her husband was in the army,
Mrs. Brice sued for and won divorce
from him, the final decree being signed
by Supreme Court Justice Seeger. She
based her action on alleged infidelity
of her husband.
Six weeks after winning her divorce
| Mrs. Brce was married to Sir Hugo at
Dudley, Mass. According to reports
current at the time, Sir Hugo's we'd
ding gift to his bride was a check for
S4,OO0,000. He is also said to have
made her present of pearl necklace
valued at $4,000 and many other
jewels

Nurses Ask Recognition
On War Memorial

Mrs. Elsie Behr Hunter, of 215
Ninety-seventh Street, Brooklyn, an
nounced yesterday that she intended to
consult her attorney with the purpose

the greater part of three days, Theo-

The procurator clearly exempted M

Drop ssWoodrow Wilson,
AS Name for Baby Boy
Special Dispotch to The Tribun.

EDGARTOWN. Mass, April 10
Fourteen months ago Mr.. and Mrs Leo
A. Willoughby, of this town, were such
admirers OF President Wilson they
named their baby boy Woodrow Will
son Willoughby. It was the greatest
honor within their means to bestow
upon their young hopeful, they felt.
But the political tides of the Presi-
dent have ebbed in the minds of the
Willoughbys. So much so that the
fond parents this week applied to the
court for the privilege of abandoning
the "Woodrow Wilson" part of the
youngsters name and to make it Ho-
bart Lockett Willoughby instead.
The court heard the story of the
parents in their appeal to name the
little fellow after blood relatives, and
gave his decision in the affirmative.
