continued Johnny. Owe dug the incest

Now I've come to take you down there. -
"Well, you're not going to take me
down there" retorted Polly Chuck.
But Johnny Chuck was not to be put
off so easily. He told all about that
new home and what safe and Won

pleaded SO hard that Polly couldn't re-

She said that that was all she would
do. She would look at it, but she knew
that it wouldn't suit her at all. But
Johnny Chuck felt sure that if she
would just go with him to look at it
she would he as pleased with it as he
was, and though Polly scolded him all

Jingle for Spine
In Crane Wilbur's
"The Ouija Board
Ingenious Second Act of
New Melodrama at the
BijOu Affords Abundance
of Theatrical Thrills
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

The most important fact which
should be recorded about Crane Will
bur's new melodrama, "The Ouija
Board" which was produced at the
Bijou Theater last night, is that the
author has devised hair-raising sec
ond act. 1t makes no difference that
the incidents of which it is composed
have no relation to life or probability
To say that it is merely founded on
good trick does not do away with the
fact that it Is interesting and, more
than that, thrilling.
OF course, the idea Of the charlatan
who suddenly finds himself in the
grip of forces which he does not I'M
derstand and cannot control has been
used many times in the growing school
of psychic melodrama, but Mr.. Wilbur
has introduced variation. In the first
place, his manifestations from the other
world are introduced in the form of
automatic writing, which is new de-
vice in the theater, and then he has
had the engenuity to construct a sit
uetion in which the trickster exposes
himself to death and destruction by
writing something which he never
meant to tell.
There are other tricks besides those
which animate the second act, and
some of them are ingenious and in
teresthg, but the play should succeed,
tingle which belongs to a single scene.
The play is not one to be analysed or
discussed at drama league meetings.
1t can hardly stand such treatment,
but for all that it provides excellent
theatrical entertainment. Nor is it
fair to say that the interest of the
evening lies wholly in the tricks. Much
of the acting is excellent, and the per-
Torrance Of Howard Lang as the spiri-
tualistic faker is a performance of ex-
ceptional ability.
To be sure, there are too many tricks.
The things which come out of the bot
tom of a high hat never seem so ex-
citing as the first pair Of white rabbits
third seance which Mr.. Wilbur works
into his play is by no means as thrill
ing as the first two. But for all that
Crane Wilbur seems to be distinct
addition to the ranks of melodrarna-
lists. He has no great knack at
! dialogue. but 1t is good enough to
serve His humor is never subtle, but
neither is it painful, and though he
has no easy access to the human mind
or heart he can do without it just so
long as he is able to make surprising
and ingenious things crowd upon the
attention. "The Ouija Beard" seems
to us easily the best psychic melo-
drama since "The Thirteenth Chair"
The author appears in the play, but
in role of no great importance. We
doubt whether he is as talented in
performance as in composition. We
are not even certain that he could
act at all if he should ever have the
misfortune to lose any considerable
portion Of hts eyebrows. The biggest
burden Of the play rests upon Howard

Bedtime Stories
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Johnny Chuck Brings Polly to Their New Home
Don't fret or scold unhl you kmow
That something is or isn't so.

Polly Chuck sat on the doorstep of
her old home in the far corner of the
Old Orchard. Polly was anxious. She
was anxious and disconnected and
cross. She was anxioua because
Johnny Chuck had been gone for two
whole days and she didn't know what
had become of him. She didn't know
whether he had gone off and left her
because he was tired of her, or whether
something dreadful had happened to
him. She was discontinued for the
same reason that Johnny himself had
been disconnected; she wanted new
home.
Polly was thin. She was just as thin
as Johnny. When she had awakened
she had been fat, but like Johnny, she
had lost all the fat because there had
been so little to eat. II wish ! could
know what has become of Johnny"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-03-30

the way down there Johnny didn't
mind at all. In fact, the more she
scolded the more he chuckled down in-
side. You see, he was quite used to
Polly Chuck's sharp tongue and he
knew her so we'll that he didn't worry
in the least as to what Polly would do
when she saw that new home.
1t was the longest journey that Polly
Chuck had ever taken away from the
Old Orchard, and because they had to
cross the open meadows it was most
anxious journey. So when at last they
reached the edge of Farmer Browns
cornfield and the shelter of the bushes
growing about the fence she gave q
great sigh of relief. Then she saw the
mound Of shining yellow sand which
Johnny Chuck had made for door
step to his new home. She tried not
to look pleased. She turned up her
nose and pretendeG that she didn't like
the place at all. But presently she
went down inside. Johnny waited out
side. He waited and waited. Finally
he went down in. 81 think" said
Polly, chat we'll make another bed
room right here" She was already at
work digging off to one side.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

This is the time Of year when
cleanup and paint-up" campaigns
are being started all over the country.
The Board of Trade has instituted a
cleanup week each year and this year
it will be from May 3rd to May Sth,
inclusive.
This does not mean that people
should wait until that time to clean
up, but this week should find every
thing cleaned up for the summer.
Manchester is clean town, but
there remain some unsightly houses
and vacant lots.
Unclean stables and garbage piles
breed the nasty house fly which carries
disease to every home and especially
to the small children. Many forms Of
diseases are becoming less frequent
every year because we are paying
more attention to keeping clean.
Let us all clean up and keep clean
and healthy.
