After last nights performance of
six Characters in Search Of an Au-
thor" at the Princess Theater, much
din of "the living word" of 'sreality,'
OF illusion" rang in the ears of Mon
sleur LIE Redacteur des Dramatioues.
And in seeking comfort in the pages
| of dictionary of psychology his in
spired forefinger alighted upon the
word Inhibition" and the interpreta-
tion thereof as follows:
Inhibition-lSpecific A condition
in which any precipitin is combined
with all the available precipitinogen,
so that when fresh precipitin is added
no precipitate occurs"
And after reading that several times
in an effort to disentangle it's sense
/ from its nonsense, & appeared to him
| that the definition suggested a diagno-
sis of what ails "Six Characters in
Search of an Author" Nothing hap
pens. No precipitate. Specific in
hibition.
What would happen if the creations
of fancy were really endowed with
life? That is promising theme.
Mr.. Brock Pemberton attaches grave
import to this experiment in dramatic
form which was brought to birth last
year in Rome. He has employed an
excellent company of actors to give
flesh and blood to Edward Storer's
translation of Luigi Prandello's work
and broadcast its specific suitability for
the adult mind.
The subtitle of the play denotes it as
"a comedy in the making" But it is
hardly that. Liefer would one call it an
essay on the theater-pa clever and
fanciful, partly profound--cut up into
speaking roles.
AS the program note explains, "the
author has created his six characters
and imagined for them situation of
poignant intensity" and then, doubt
ing their adequacy or that Of the
theater, he abandons his play. But
these characters will not be denied
their life. They walk into theater
where company is preparing to pre-
sent another play by the same author
and demand that the stage be turned
over to them for dramatic representa-
tion of the story for which they were
destined.
"You have never met such Il case,
Sir" argues the leading man. feeling

secure In his reality, because authors
as rule hide the labors Of their Gre.
ations, when the characters are real
ly alive before their author, the latter
does nothing but follow them in theis
action, IN their words, in the situa-
items which they suggest to him. and
he has TO will them the way they will
themselves, for there is trouble If he
doesn't. When a character Is born he
acquires such an independence even
OF his own author that he can be
imagined in many other situations
where the author never dreamed of
placing hirn, and so he acquires for
himself meaning which the author
never thought of giving him. Imagine
the misfortune to be born Of an
authors fantasy ard be denied life by
him; left alive and yet without life. i
And so, the heavy hearted ghosts
give wordy battle to the stage manager
for the right to the spotlight. There
is much talk about the theater. it's
theory and practice and it's relation
to life. 1t is speech not easy to
follow. And the adult mind hidden to
tho Princess so confidently by Mr..
Pcmberton will feel very much as If it
had been asked to solve euadra ic
equation by inspection. B. +.

This Seventh Heaven" as erected by
SIR. Austin Strong, is situated In q
Paris garret, location rich in op-
portunities for fdyllic architecture. Tts
leading cherubim are Diane. former
ard lovely lady Of the streets; and
Chico, an attractive Psrisian sewer
snan, who is admirable at cynicisn and
romance. Their celestial attic is for
both OF them another and better
world. From the squalor and miscon-
duct OF thieves kitchen they have

stances, in little room. Here you
may see them in various and pleasing
manifestations of their regard for each
other; for they are Partisan and
they know how to love. Besides, they
are being acted by Miss Helen Menken
and Mr. George Gaul.
The fact that this pisygoer could
become bat moderately interested in
the alternating Joys and sorrows Of
Diane and Chico at the Booth Theater
Is ineoaseqeential. But, since IL is
tradition that record of such trivial
tics may be made by newspaper re-
viewer, his ennui is here set down.

Miss Mcnken, however, was an object
for approval az she impersonated the

eticence.
So, when war was declared and the

Diane were interrupted by terrified
bells and the ominous shuffling of SOL

Menken was at hand AS Chico departed

Though in some cigar manufacturing
centers the factories have about filled
their holiday orders and are Stacking up
operations, in other centers production
is being maintained unabated to fill not
only current demands but orders for
goods to be shipped in January. In
these latter sections there will be but
slight interruption for taking inven-
tory. This would indicate that the ci-
gar trade, at least in some parts of the
country, does not look for the post-holi-
day period to be as quiet as usual.
Most leaf packers and dealers have
fully recovered from the depression fol-
lowing the great boom period and have
done very we'll during the last quarter.
They are now in very optimistic
frame of mind as to business prospects
next year. True, there will be new
and difficult problems to cope with in
the several cigar leaf tobacco pools
that have been organized by the farm
ers this year, but the policy of the
packers is one of 'watchful waiting"
and they are confident in the belief that
whatever the developments of the fu-
ture may be, the packers place in the
industry will be secure and will be rec
ognized on all sides as essential to the
industry. Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 9, 1922.
This has been another dull and list
less week-not much amin alton in busi-
ness, caused primarily and solely by the
pre-inventory season of the year among
the cigar manufacturing interests of
the country. We had rain here this
week which was a godsend to farm ers.
They have gotten lot of tobacco from
the poles and put it in their cellars to
draw moisture prepara tory to stripping.
Buying of the 1922 has about ceased
for the year and packers will now wait
until farmers can strip at least part of
their crops, sort and put it in bales
ready for inspection and sale. What is
unsold of the crop will be bought up
right after New Years and the packers
are. practicing 'watchful waiting"
policy, hoping prices will recede to a
point where they can see legitimate
profit in sight before investing. At the
present prices it keeps the packers
guessing whether the 1922 crop will be
money maker or not. Leaf.

the Pool printed in another column of
this issue deals with the advantages of
the grades to be established for pooled

these grades and prices represent to-
bacco which has been thoroughly clean

for granted that these grades are per-

Latest figures on the tobacco yield in

acre under cultivation This yield is

mated to be 16, 200,O 600 pounds and the

next year will see further increase in
tobacco raising More acres in the
southern counties will be devoted to
the business of raising tobacco and the
result should be a much larger tonnage.
Where ten years ago there was scarcely
any tobacco raised in any section of the
state, the industry is growing rapidly
and officials of the Agricultural De-
partment of the State University de-
clare there are thousands of acres in
