The Playhouse will be formally
opened tins evening for The new the
alrical season Of i920-2i, by George
N. Cohan's production. Genius and

This occasion is an event OF impor-
lance IN the estimation Of local

OF good entertainment that Is To come.
te0rse NJ. COhan's production,
Genius and the Crowd" is not
merely 10 be classed as good" 10
Is more appropriately placed under
lle caption, extra good because
the genius that is Mr.. COhan's and the
ability that makes him one Of the
biggest figures in the theatrical
world, has been put into the produc-
tion OF Genius and the Crowd" and
II is clearly reflected in the work OF
the players chosen and directed by
Mr.. C0han.
The play which was written by
John T. Mcintyre ard Francis Hill, OF
Philadelphia, is a story OF love, rO-
nance and temperament and Of the
latter In particular Such things as
'artistlc temperament find little
sympathy in the native American wit
that prcdOminaies the play.
George Renaveht. Marion Coakley
and Frank Otto are among the play
ers who present Genius and The
| Crowd"
Next Monday evening. September 6
Genius and Tie Crowd" will make

Seats for the engagement OF Mar
garet Angln, in "The Woman Of
Bronze" at The Playhouse. the last
three days Of the week, went on sale
this morning
The tilular role gives Miss Anglin
a more satisfying opportunity for
humOr. paihOs and sheer emotional
exposition than has ever before been
possible. II pOrtrays Miss Anglln's
superb genius at its zenith, which, in
her sparkling comedies, such as
"Billeted," Green Stockings and
"Bcverley's Balance" has too long
been suppressed.
The play tells a story Of men ana
women centering around the theme
OF one woman's indomitable courage
and devotion and a mans weakness
and inndelity.
An admirable cast will support Miss
Anglin in this coming production.

GOVERNMENT WILL SELL
HOG ISLAND SHIP YARD

WASHINGTON.-The Cover
ment is about to sell, or attempt to
sell, to private capital, one of the larg~
est monuments of the World War.
the mammouth shipbuilding plant at
Hog Island, outside of Philadelphia.
Bids nave been requested by the
Shipping Board for the project. The
bids will be opened October &c. The
date for the sale was twice postponed
to give interested parties ample time
to check over the specifications and
TO provide the necessary capital.
The Board does not wish to sell the
yard for salvage. 1t is the desire of
Rear Admiral Benson to have the
yard continue in some useful work
that it might again be transformed
back into its shipbuilding work in
time of emergency. There is no pro-
vision to insure the maintenance of
the plant by the purchaser in the spe-
cihcations, however.
To insure reputable bidders against
the intrusion and competition of fly
by night" bidders, the Board has di-
rected that deposit of 81 5000 cash
will be required as soon as the low
or successful bid is accepted.
The plant originally cost about $69,-
100000 The Board does not hope to
obtain a price or bid which in any
way will compare with the cost of the
project. The original requests for
bids was aimed primarily to ascertain
the bargain which the Board nigh:
ultimately hope to make for the sale
of the yard. Since the yard has been
advertised for sale, however, hnan-
ciers from all parts of the country
have displayed an interest in the pro.
ject and it may be possible to obtain
a successful bidder on the first offer
