that for mysterious and battling quail
ties probably will hold its place at the
top Of the What comes next?" class.
Not even the members Of the cast, now
being chosen, know what the outcome
Of the play is to be. Nor will they
know until the opening night Of the
production. The explanatory lines are
not to be told to the cast until the
last minute before it is presented for
the first time. Which, as 1t will be
seen, is carrying thing very, very
far.
In the nearer future we have "Genius
and the Crowd" that Is to have its
New York opening tomorrow night at
the George NJ. Conan Theater, marking
the advent Of Mr.. Cohan as an indi-
vidual amusement purveyor in the
house that bears his name.
AS for Mr.. Cohan's plans, however,
not even his nearest associate IN hiA

adopted a policy Of action first, then

must wait.
An interesting event of the early
theatrical season will be the return to
the New York stage, after an absence
Of more than two years, Of Margaret
Anglin in "The Woman Of Bronco"
which will be presented Tuesday eve
ming at the Frazee Theater. Adapted by
Paul Kester from the French Of Henry
Kistemaecker and Eugene Deland, the
play Is said to make almost as great
demands on the gifts of the emotional
actress as the exacting claims Of Greek
drama, which she plans to produce
later in the season. Played for many
months in Chicago, San Francisco and
other Western cities, 1.-THE Woman Of
Bronze" is described as a drama of
power, direct in appeal and modern
in its solution. It deals with q woman
who, after ten years of happily married
life, finds her place in the affections
of her husband supplanted by young
er woman. Besides playing the title
role, Miss Anglin, noted for Der in
domtable energy and extraordinary VII
tally, is responsible for the managing,
directing, producing and staging to the
minutest detail Of the play which
brings her back to Broadway.
Otis Skinner will be seen in one Of
the plays brought back from Europe
recently by ALT Hayman, Of the Charles
Frohman organization. but which one
he will choose has not been definitely
settled. The announcement of his ar
engagements will be made in q few days.
1t is said at his offices.
And thens TO revert to the near fus

is "A Man Of the People," the Thomas

Naturally, when q play strikes Lon
don as an instantaneous success and
runs there for months, as "Mary Rose"
has done, one looks forward to the
production of that piece in New York.
The Barrie play, in which Fay Comp
ton has created the title role, will be
seen with Maude Adams around the
holiday period, and it is said that every
ounce Of energy that can be put into it
Is being marshaled for the New York
premiere. The story, dealing with the
wanderings Of pretty little girl who
leaves her homo, remains away twenty
Ave years and returns, the same girl,
wearing the same dress, the same smile,
the same everything, as when she de-
parted, is said to surpass the very best
work OF the author. "Peter Pan" and
"A Kiss for Cinderella" have been in
cluded in the comparison.

theme, about death itself, but so deity

Has Mr.. Warfeld decided to have a

the Broadway "jazz" writer decided to

high and low comedy? There's a Sc
cret.

Washington, Jan. 3.-President Wilson
has decided not TO exercise powers con-
ferred in the McNary sugar control bill,
authorizing purchase and distribution of
the Cuban sugar crop, according to a
statement issued at the White House
The statement said the president bad
decided on the basis Of facts presented
for his consideration and the recommen-

that this power should not be exercised.
In a long statement announcing the
presidents decision. the declaration Is
made that apparently the available sugar

operation with the department Of jus
tice. Figures attached show that the
estimated 1919 consumption in the
United States was slightly more than
800. 900 tons, of which normally only
LOCO. 900 tens was domestic production.
As the Cuban crop is unusually large
at 4 100000 tons. however. Of which the
allies, because Of limited purchasing
power viii take about 100000 tons.
and as the estimated Louisiana, western
beet. Hawaiian and Porto Rican pro-
duction will reach 2,0O0.0Oo tons. the
statement foresees sufficient supply
for American needs.
Unified Control Lacking.
Conditions have now changed 50 that
the members Of the board feel that action
by it under the McNary act does not
offer a way to secure a regular supply
at reasonable price. the statement SAID.
There is no contract with western beet
sugar or Louisiana cane producers tor
the 1920 crop and BY October II the
control Of the board applied only 70 TIE
remainder Of the Cuban 1919 crop, the
statement said.
"One of the elements which helped
materially to make the boards action for
the 1919 crop effective. no longer
exists" it continues. The board was
able to deal with the unified Cuban sell
ing agency for the 1919 crop and to
secure and control the entire crop. Now
there is no person or committee author
lied to sell the balance of the 1870
Cuban crop.
The statement points out that, under
the McNary act, control of domestic
sugar will end June 80, and adds that,
should the sugar board succeed in pur-
chasing Cuban sugar for delivery
throughout the year, it would be in the
position of "trying to maintain uni
form reasonable price over the country
with no control whatsoever over large
quantities of sugar from Hawaii and
Porto Rico. which come in mainly after
June 80. and over the new Louisiana
