NEW YORK TO BE DRAMATIC CENTER
1000 of Best DramatiStS Will Be
 Brought There /

New York, June IA plan that is proposed to make this city a center | of the dramatic activities, of the world by bringing more than 1000 of the | best known members of the profes- sion together in select performances covering the cycle of dramatic art, has been inaugurated here.
 The project, which already has passed through initial organization steps, proposes an Equity Festival week in June, 1922, an American pro- totype of the famous Stratford -on- the-Avon festival which attracts thou sands of theater lovers back to Eng land every spring. Announcement of the festival was made by the Actors Equity association, which is sponsor ing the movement.
 This event is expected to exceed by far the English festival. Whereas at Stratford only Shakespearean drama is produced with a small pro- fessionaI stock company, the Ameri- can festival will produce the best plays of every country and age with casts which would bankrupt any manager over night, leaders of the movement announce. The eight performances will cover the dramatic field from Euripides to Shaw.
 The festival will be the bac- calaureate week of the theatrical sea- son." Frank Gilmore, executive sec retary of the Equity association, said. Ut is not our desire to com pete with any manager, but rather to help him make his theater bigger and better by awakening the public imag- ination.
 Our week will include three plays of Shakespeare, comprising one of his best known comedies, one of his most famous tragedies and one of the less CT known group whose glorles are lit tie understood because they are so rarely produced. The other perform ances will include the best plays of all nations and periods-Moliere, Calderon, Sheridan, Pinero' Raclne' Aristophanes, Beaumont ana Flet- cher, Rostand, Marlowe ana SO Iorth: l

SUBMARINE PICTURE AT PALACE

When the reviewers start to count up the big successes of this year which for pure novelty, interesting story and top-notch direction, have landed in the very first rank of the seasons productions they, undoubt- edly will have to include Girl of the Sea- and place it pretty near the top.

 The picture which is at the Palace INr three days is a stirring story of love and intrigue both under and above the sea. This sounds peculiar but it is a fact, for the scenes were not only taken on the beautiful is lands of the West Indies, but on the ocean bed where considerable of the action takes place.
 The swimming of Miss Betty Hill burn, the beautiful I6-year-o1d lead ing lady of the picture, is an enter tainment in itself. 4 cast of screen artists who have been associated with feature plays support Miss Hillburn.

especially when one finds the ob- Jcct of her soliCitudc so blissfully asleep that it would be cruel to awaken him for the food so care fully prepared.
 Isn't it anything I can get?" Mrs. TicCr struck in. she looked so peaked when she came in." the good woman went on. addressing my mOthcr-in-law directly, while I swal- lowed a smile at her description of mo. that l got her breakfast right away. And won't you let me give you cup of coffee, too. ma'am? Ten to one. the little shaver's gone to sleep again. If he hadn't he'd be yelling so you could hear him down here. I've raised mine, and I know 'cm."
 Mother Graham wavsred percepti- bly before tho two great passions of her life. pride in her grandson and her morning coffee. She knew in he heart Mrs. Ticcr was right. and the aroma Of the coffee was alluring and pcrvasive.
 \ Breath Of Relief.
 She compromised by saying lofti- Iy:
 "Richard Second rarely yeIIs. But he may have gone to sleep again as the journey yesterday was so ex- hausting. l believe 1 will have a cup of coffee, Mrs. Ticcr, if you will be SO kind. Margaret. finish your break fast. And 1 would like to know if we can get warm milk as soon as the cows are milkcd every morning and evening for Richard Second. l always gave it to all mychildren." she added evidently with q dim idea that I ought to be consulted.
 I hastcncd to complete the molli- flying process.
 "I agree ith you. Mother. on that score. I shall he very glad to have the milk for Junior. if we may" I turned to Mrs. Ticer. who was hur- riedly laying q breakfast service in front of my mothor-in-law. Mother Graham had seated herself opposite mo at the kitchen table, a proceed ing which surprised me greatly, but decided that she had resolved to be as gracious as possible.
 There ain't anything better than warm milk" Mrs. Ticer averred. And you can't get anything better than our cows, if I do say it. Ticer got 'em from a man who sold certified milk. and make both him and Jerry wash their hands and the cows ud- ders before they milk, so you don't need to be afraid"
 "I should have insisted upon it." Mother Graham said loftily. But 1t is very pleasing to know that it is done without direction. So few farmers understand the proper care of milk. This coffee is very delicious Mrs. Ticer. How do you make it?"
 I drew long breath as if I had just seen a precipice Unconsciously skirted. Without knowing it. my mother-in-1aw had just averted storm of wrath from Mrs. Ticer by her comment upon the coffee. and in the culinary discussion which fol- lowed I finished my breakfast in peace.
