Park Review

The much-discussed and much pr ess-a gented play of Avery Hop woods, known as '"The Demi-Virgin,' 9 made it's initial appearance at the Park theatre last night and in the opinion of the writer lived up to all advance notices. Parts of it are risque, parts are humorous, and the combination of both provided a pleas ant evening for all who attended.
 The cast might be improved on. Above them all stood out Catherine Duffin, who played the part of Cora Montague, a movie serial star who radiated talent and possessed a grace and daring that met with the instant approval of the audience. Robert Kenyon as Wa1ly Dean, the ex-hus- band who comes back. was also good, as were Frank Hollins as Sir Gerald Sydney and Req Reckard as Aunt Zeffie All of the above depicted their parts as. stare of the first mae1Aude while the rest of the cast can be con si6ered as but fair.
 The plot itselif is too complicated tc explain here but one scene in par t4cular which stands out was a strip poker game staged by the feminine at a dance given by the Derni-Firgin.
 Frank Rollins as Sir Sydney capti- vated the audience and his offerings were well received. Some credit also should be given to Dorothy SIaytor who took the part of the leading lady playing opposite Wal1y Dean. De spite tho fact that she was earnest in her portrayal she did not seem to DOS sess the magnetic personality of Miss DufFn who might be termed the acme of perfection.

Most of them are content with playing themselves. under the thin disguise of various names. Perhaps it is better, as Joseph Jefferson said in effect, to cook enc dish well rather than cook many badly, but there will

Closing tonight, "Manslaughter," Cecil DeMille's greatest phlotoplay pro- duction, and probably the master piece of the century will complete record run at the Poi Palace theatre.
 Surrounded by the most ontranc- ing dancing act in the form Of a Bac- channal prologue, and with operatic singers and musicians in the forefront of the musical program, the Palace presentation has met with the utmost popular approval.
 After the closing performances to- day the minds of all people in this section will be set upon "The Old humanitarian play that ever was of fered to the American public.

How Do You Class Your Ouija Board?

Samuel wants 10 per cent tax on the
hapless Ouija board. But, apparently,
there is wide difference of opinion.
Anyway. the Supreme court has been
asked by petition filed by Balti-
more manufacturing company TO apply
its profound learning to solving the
question of what is a ouija board.
The federal government, with that
lack of sentimentallty for which It is
noted, and with the bluntneSs of the
tax collector. has determined such
boards are properly to be classed a.
sporting goods" along with tennis
rackets, snOwshOes, baseball bats. golf
clubs. footballs, and similar articles.
The Baltimore company therefore
has asked the court to determine
whether the board is, as the company
claims il to be, "a grade of motor au-
tOmatism. involving considerable sub
conscious action of intelligence and
not sporting goods"
If the boards are not exactly what
II claims, the manufactures contends
a large part OF those intended for the
use of children should be classed as
children's toys.
