can imagine Mr.. Huntington chuc-
King to himself during the writing as
he developed the situations and cre-

Der OF the cast assembled by George
z. Tyler takes full advantage of Mr..
tarkington's basic material.
Alfred Lunt, who Is understood to
have been in the mind of the author
when he created the central character
and name part of this play, develops
TO the full the light comedy possi-
hliities of his role. His ror-
ltrayal shows positive development of
his art, which has been admired by
ashingtoH audiences previously.
Never before has he so completely
gwen himself up to make believe

which he has retired. His statement
That he did not have to develop the
art of swearing in driving q team

witness of the unsuccessful efforts of

j. Mr.. Tarkington's ability to make
his stage characters true pictures of
real persons is especially shown in
this product of his pen. Clarence ad-
mittedly is unusual, but thoroughly
human and possible. Just as delight
full, however, are Cora Wheeler. a
Sub deb, romantic and headstrong, and:
fBobby Wheeler. vivacious youth,
Whose ideas that he has arrived at
mans estate are being much JoIted.
Viola Harper makes Cora very human
and Glenn Hunter gives Bobby Just
the juvenile touch needed. They
: afford many OF the evenings laughs.

lgoverness. Violet Pinney. effectively
Mary Boland gives a decided frivolous

function as Mr.. Wheeler is to register

lare as thoroughly competent.

Forty Cents For Gas
Oil Expert Predicts

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 16-
(SpeciaD-Forty-cent gasoline is in
sight in the near future, according to
statement just made by Joseph Phe-
Ian, oil expert for the U. S. Shipping
Board.
Mr.. Phelan declares he would not
be surprised to see this price attained
in August or September. 1t is GER
tainty, he believes, that the present
average price of gasoline, 50 cents,
will be increased continually and that
it may not stop at 40 cents.
"The increase in the price of gas
oline is solely DUE" Mr.. Phelan de-
clares, "to the greatly increased use
of automobiles. Everybody is buy
ing an automobile and everybody is
using motor car to get everywhere
consequently" he goes on, "oi
consumption has jumped to enormous
proportions. Crude oil prices have
advanced and gasoline must follow
suit.
ssThe oil reserve supply has been Sc
riously depleted in an attempt to pro
vide raw stock from which to manu-
facture enough gasoline TO keep n
with the demand. The oil reserve sup
ply now Is being depleted at the rat
