The prologue and three acts Of
Lightnin holds the unbrok1-. .er-
est Of the audience, with a succe~ ION
of tense scenes, followed by 13nncd-
late relief in comedy, which at times
becomes hilarious. The whirnsicali-
ties and drolle-ies of Lightnin' Bill
Jones-perversely nicknamed because
Of his laziness-stirs memories Of
Joseph Jeferson's Rip Van Winkle." "
The dramatic action is furnished by a
land swindle on the border line be-
tween California and Nevada. The
humor, which overbalances the more
serious side Of the play, finds its source
in hotel which Lightnin' Bill and his
wife have established on the state line
which runs through the center Of the
lobby. The place finds immediate ia
vor with Reno divorce candidates who
are thus able to tell their friends they
are sojourning in California and at the
same time establish Nevada
residence.

The plays famous courtroom scene, in
the second act, wherein the land sharks
are thwarted and Lightnin Bill comes
from the Soldiers Home to act as his
own attorney in his divorce suit, is
recorded in the annals Of Broadway as
the most delightful blending Of humor
and pathos that the American stage
has known. 1t even excels the brisk
passages Of the earlier Winchell Smith
classic, Turn to the Right" in
sparkle and spontaneous fun.
Producer John Golden is sacrificing a
golden harvest by declining to entrust
Lightnin to a number Of duplicate
or No. z companies for a quick
cleanup Of the country. The company
to be seen here has been formed espec-
tally to play Chicago, and it is the only
one on tour. The company was sent
South for engagements in Norfolk,
Richmond, Atlanta, Birmingham,
New Orleans and a few other high
spots.

KEYPORT SPAN
WORK TO START
Rebuilding of Bridge Over
MataWan Creek to Start
on July Fl

Work of rebuilding the draw bridge
over the Matawan creek, just north
of the borough of Keyport. on Route
No. of the State Highway Commits
sion VIII be started about July 81
according to information obtained in
this city today. The contract for the
repair of the bridge has been award
I'd to F. w. Schwiers, Jr., of New
York City, the understanding being
that work be started on the rebuild
ing the structure not later than fif-
teen days after the contract is let
which makes the starting date about
July 21.
However, there is nothing to keep
the successful bidder from starting
work before that time. if he is able
to get his men. and necessary tools
and machinery at the bridge, prior to
the above mentioned date. 1t is said
that it will take at least six months
to complete the work. During the
time the work is going on the bridge
Will be open to traffic.
In order to keep the bridge open
TO traffic the contractor must buil6
two other bridges, leading from the
roadway onto the main section of the
draw. This will be done by building
the bridges over the present bridges
leading up to the draw in order to
take the weight from the present
building the bridges over the present
bridge piers which must be removed
and rebuilt. These bridges will not
be as wide as the present bridge, and
as one side of the present bridge is
completed, the temporary bridges
Will be moved over to the other side
of the structure and the traffic
shifted in this manner.
The work required in the rebuild
ing of the bridge, requires the re-
placing of four large concrete piers,
two on either side of the structure,
which have sunken, allowing the
bridge to sag. The present piers
under the draw proper will remain
as they are. but will be strengthened
by two new additional piers to be
placed alongside of them. 1t is
understood there will be no need
to close the draw to traffic while
these two additional piers are being
built.
