Park Review

'tSfnavings' an adoption from Jo- seph c. Idncoln's we'll known novel of Cape Cod life, which opened it's three day engagement at the Park theatre last night after successful runs in New York, Boston and Chicago, is a pleashingly light comedy with a ten- dency to over-sentime entality and an entire dependence on the manner in which the leading role is acted. For tunateIy for the play, Harry BereS- ford portrays the title part to per lection.
 Almost all the mems parts are well taken care of, particularly that of Captain Sam, which is admirably done by James Bradbury Edith Gresham was inclined to be stiff in trre leading too over-anxious1y sweet to be con vincing.
 The play centers about ''shavings.' '' an old windmill maker in a sr1all Cape Cod town. He is the sort of man to whom people bring their worries and their condolences. and he usually manages to help them out. The only place where he falls down is when he falls in love himself, only to realize that it is impossible for the object of his affections to return them. The plot is not very heavy or intricate. but it is sufficiently original ito keep the audience interested all the way through.
 The quiet of the windmill shop with all its hopeless disorder is charming 1y depicted, "Shavings'' throughout holding the center of the stage. One can not say too much for the picture of the absent-minded, shy old fellow that Harry Beresford makes of the part. His acting and the excellent staging of the comedy produce an at sleepy little New England towns found along the Cape.

Poli Review

usual timely topics, including more pictures of the il1-fated ZR-2, had given the new show at Polls a flying Arbuckle in '@The Sheriff made the start of an evening of laughs. This is an old picture made during the war, but it "cleaned up," and leads one to believe that the public liked Fatty better in the slap stick comedy.
 Of the acts, Nestor 6 Haynes very near stopped the show The team is an unusual combination of a doing comedy, real comedy, and com- edy of a new style. They deserved all the applause they received. but Harry Fox, musical comedy and re- vue star who followed, did not get the reception he should have fallen heir to. He, assisted by Beatrice Cur tis and a man at the piano, with my suit on.' says Harry, has a beautiful. quiet, easy going act, with no big ''hoorah,' but just a restful line of comedly. clever songs, good looking clothes worn by Miss Curtis. and an idea that is different. Again, too, the show is all clean at Polls.
 Cuba Grutchfield opened the bill with fancy rope ad lariat act of the sort that III GoSc Will Rogers and Tex Macleod fao[ us, and he is good. He makes a few "wise cracks between tricks, and the stunts he exhibits are done in such an easy manner that they lose some or tnelr SIecl on per sons who have never practiced with a clothes line.

DANCE DEATH LAID
 TO IDENTITY ERROR
Similarity of Masked Wo- mems Gowns Cause of
 Alleged Insult.

New York. Aug. 30.-Conf1icting stories have been told to authorities in Freehold, N. J., regarding the fight last Friday night at the annual mas near Asbury Park, which resulted in the death of Cecil A Arthur, a dealer in automobile accessories, who lived in the Navarro apartments at ssh borde, a Chilean student at Cornell University, is still being held in Free hold under Q, charge of homicide, but his attorneys are trying to have the charge reduced to manSlaughter, which is a bailable offence
 Two friends of Laborde. Jose M. AncHn@. of 790 Riverside Drive. and Manuel Fernandez of Havana, Cuba. said yesterday afternoon that the trouble IIaiborde had with Arthur and which resulted in Laborde knocking the other man down and fracturin g his skull, came about as the result of O. mistake in ideDtfty. Arthur accus- ed Iaborde of insulting Mrs. John $. Sutphen, Jr., of 215 West 9Sth street and a fight started when the two men met later in the hotel grill room Accoring to Ancuna it was he and not Labordo who spoke to Mrs. Stphen, and he did it because she was dressed exactly like a woman in the Iaborde and Acuna party and he thought Mrs. Sutphen was this girl.
 Ancuna said he apologized as soon as he saw he had made a mistake, but that Arthur had been drinking and began to threaten him. Later La bortfe went into the grill room to see the hear waiter about 9 table that had been reserved for his party, and Ancuna says he was attacked by Ar thus. I4aborde defended himself aft CT Arthur had tried several times tc strike him, Ancuna said, and his first blow knocked Arthur down so his head struck the cement floor. An ucna and Fernandez both said that several persons in the grill tried to prevent Ar+nur from striking at La borde, but the man broke away from
 them. Labopde probably will base his plea of self-defence on the evi- dence of these men and on that of the head waited. Samuel Pannell. who
 with Ancuna and Fernandez, is under bail for $500 as a material witness. The stories of Arthur's friends re- garding the fight have not been made public by the authorities, but they art said to differ greatly from those O, Ancuna and Fernandez.
 Nrrnur<s body was brought to New York yesterday and taken to Camp | bells Funeral church The funeral
 which will be military. will be to morrow morning in the Church of tn | Blessed Sacrament. During the wa Arthur was a corporal in Compa,n. 1 NJ. forth Infantry.

 Real money to the amount Of $125.5O will be used on the Lyric stage in this production which fea- lures aniaIb1e crooks and peach jam. MT. Steele Is responsible for this bit of realism. During the rehearsa1s yesterday, he halted proceedings and put the ban on prop" money.
 Not the least of the many sur prises in Turn to the Right is the fact that the title has a coherent connection with the plot. ''Turn to the Right is exactly what three erriag youths do-they succu1nb to the sweet faith and mother-loye of a saintly old lady.

No sooner was the announcement made that the Lyric theatre would open it's season on Labor Day after
 noon with the nationwide success, Turn to the Right" than the box office was flooded with eager ticket seekers. All indications point to the new season starting off with a rush.
 Turn to the Right not only will introduce Hooper Atchley, Edna Preston and the other stars who will comprise the Poh Players this season, but is an excellent vehicle to bring out the talents of Director Bernard Steele, known far and wide as the Belasco of Stock" MT.

 Viola Dana, who has played so gracefully and wondrously in many pictures of distinction, comes up to expectations in Puppets of Fate,' the Metro special which opened yesterday at the Empire theatre, and which will play for one more day.
 The story is from the pen of the weH-known novelist and short-story writer, Dom Byrne, and has the brisk movement chara cteristic of his work. The picture opens with the marionette show in Venice, leads to the life of gambling and cabaret life in New York, and on to the marve. ous unfoldinr in a courtroom.
 The able supporting cast includes Francis Mcdonald, Jackie Saunders. Fred Kelsey. Thomas Rickertts and Edward Kennedy. Dallas NJ. Fitzgerald directed the production with his usual ability.

Chairman: 'tAre there any books that I could purchase by mail, giving suggestions for programs for a wo- mans club?''
 ton their names in this column as that would be advertising. 1 will gladly send you the names of two such books, together with the ad- dresses of the publishers who get
 them out. if you will send a stamped, elf-addreSsed envelope.
 Mrs G.: s'P4ease give suggestions
 Answer: The person to be sur prised must, of course, be gotten away from the house on one pretext or another, and when he returns he will find the house filled with guests.
 Games should be started ct once. I
 know of no jollier one than Jenkins
 Up and Down. To play this the
 sides. One division sits on one side of a large table, and the other di- kvision opposite. A dime is given to table-edge among the players of that side, to one whom the captain (each side must choose a captain) indi-
 cates. The opposing captain now says, "Jenkins Upi" and all the closed hands of the players on the side holding the coin must be raised high in the air. When the opposing cap tain says, Jenkins Down. the closed
 
 table and the player in whose closed l fist the dime was concealed, must l take care that it's glint does not show beneath spread fingers his fiat hand lies on the table-surface. Now
 the opponents may guess which hand hides the dime, each player of the opposite side having one guess. If
 nobody guesses correctly, the side | holding the dime will again put their l hands beneath the table-edge and de- | eide upon which of their number is | to have the coin next. If, however, some person on the opposite side correctly guesses which hand is hid | ing the dime, then the opponents get the coin and the players that Grst l had it become guessers. The fan lies in seeing which side can keep the tep-cent piece the longer.
 Another good game is "Register- ing Screen Elm motons.'' This is played by each persons having to draw a slip of paper from a hat held above
 his head. Each slip bears the name of a screen emotion, such as Fear, Pride, Anger, Horror, ViIlainous In aent, Spiritual E1oaftatiorN Pleased Sur prise (rnake them up to suit your seH).
