the revival at the Royalty Of Sir
Arthur Pineros "Mid-Channel," as the
beginning Of a cycle Of Pinero plays.
Produced here and in New York thir-
teen years ago the play was a com
narrative failure. IL is a sordid story
enough with matrimonial wrangles
playing o prominent part. But Pinero'
master Of staEeeraft, now has TO assist
him in the leading role Irene Van
brugh, who has few rivals as an emo
tional actress. There Is no doubt about
the appeal Of the revival as whole.
"The Cat and the Canary" trans
planted here from New York, looks like
establishing a long run. London thea

London Stage
By Ware B. Wells

ONDON, Nov. Born n Pole,
Joseph Conrad mastered the Eng
- lish language with such complete
ness that to-day he ranks among the
greatest living novelists writing in
English. But It is agreed by the Lon
don critics he has yet TO learn the rudi-
ments Of the playwright's art. That is
the only possible verdict upon his dra-
matization Of his novel, "The Secret
Agent" just staged here at the Am
bassador Theater.
A play all about anarchists and
bombs and political eonspiraeies, end
ing with murder and madness, might
be expected TO contain violent drama
and lurid thrills. But Conrad's thrills
don't get over He Is too much the
conscientious literary artist and too
little Of a dramatist. His people talk
instead Of acting. Had he permitted
practiced playwright TO adapt his
novel for the stage the immense dra-
matte possibilities Of the story might
have been given effect. Instead there
is novelist's play, overlsden with de-
tails-a series Of discussions and ex-
plantations cut up into eight scenes.
The dramatic substance Of the play
is simple. Winnie VerlOc miriam
Lewes), devoted TO her younger brother
stevie (Freddie Peisley), an affection
ate, we'll meaning, i'll balanced, hyster-
ical youth, murders her husband Oh. st.
Barbe West, as the couse OF Stevie's
death. Verloc is mixed up with gang
Of anarchists, and the boy Is so wrought
upon by their talk that he bears to
Greenwich Park bomb wherewith to
blow up the observatory. He stumbles
in the fog, the bomb explodes and he
Is blown 10 pieces, but his name and
address, which Winnie has thought
fully pinned on his coat in case he
should lose himself. enabled Inspector
Heat (Jevan Brandon-Thomss) to get on
the scent. At the finish Winnie, thrown
over by ossipon Russell Thorndike)'
vicious young anarchist, who Is
under arrest for the murder when the
curtain falls, IS raving mad.
Here ia what certainly never could
be a pleasant. but might be strong
play. But Joseph Conrad has violated
ALI the rules Of the game. It is said
that before he went 70 the rehearsals
Of this play Of his he had not been in
side a theater in years. It certainly
looks that way. All Of the things that
a dramatist just mustn't do he has done.
Long dialogues between stationary and
minor characters, a central act which
is mainly episode and only remotely
eontributory TO the essential conflict
a IonR-drawn finale tackled on 70 the
closing act Of violenee-all OF these
breaches Of dramatic convention he has
committed.
whether he has done 40 innoeently
or in defiance Of convention makes no
matter. Either way he has taken risks
that are too big for him. The play
Is fragmentary and suffers from dis
psrsion Of interest. As Is common
with novelists It attempts TO tell the
story In full detail instead Of dealing
only with It's emotional crises:
The Conrad background, that Tieh

time TO think Of the full intent Of the
speech. The right dramatic training
gives poise and grace Of body. Acting
destroys self-eonseiousness-that most
fatal quality Of mind which 50 In
evitably tends TO failure.
All these come as the result Of WORK
in voice placement, correct speech,
pantomime and other studies arranged
to free the personality. That is the
essential standpoint from which to
work-the recognition Of tho posses
sion Of all beneficial qualities In ones
self. followed by the constant using
Of the qualities in order to promote

The Blooms.


The presence of big bolls this
year is not a test Of the crop, nor
blooms. Many squares are bloom
ing that contain worms. While one
Richmond county man tells me
that thirteen out Of fifteen OF his
big bolls have in the last few days
been found to be punctured, yet
another man says that he has no
weevils.. but this latter man made
a good crop last year, but this
man turned under his cotton early
in the season and planted his cot
ton far away from woods, barns,
etc. South Georgia seems to be
making a good crop but her cotton
is very early and she is picking j
now at great rate. South Geor-
gia this year too. is making fine
tobacco crop and is getting a big
price for it and South Georgia
ought to be very prosperous sec
ton this fall and winter. A let
ter from Sumter county, S. c., says:
"our county used to grow forty
five thousand bales Of cotton year
but this year we will probably get
no more than twelve thousand

Law Against
Coal Profiteering
Secretary Hoover Will Appeal
to Congress for Law to Con-
troll Prices

Washington. Aug. 15.-Congress
will be called upon for legal
weapons to arm the government
for war against coal profiteers, it
was announced today by high ad-
ministration officials. Legislation
will be required, it was declared, TO
assure price control and equitable
distribution OF fuel even in the
event OF a settlement Of the whole
national coal controversy.
Coal operators. Secretary Hoover
stated, were breaking away from
the fair price agreements except in
some districts in Virginia and West
Virginia, and congress, he declar-
ed. n.ust act to check advancing
charges and at the same time au-
thorize the continuance Of the fed
eral distribution machinery now
functioning by volunteer services
which could not continue indefi-
niteiy.
Mr.. Hoover indicated that
about a weeks study of the situa-
ton. and the effect of the Cleve-
land agreement on production
would be required before the nee
essary legislation could be framed.
Attorney General Daugherty de-
clared that several plans were al
ready under consideration to COM
bat coal profiteers and that careful
study would be given. to the pro-
posed legislation. Continuance OF
the federal distribution machinery
would be necessary, Mr.. Hoover
asserted and especially to meet the
anthracite situation and provide
for the requirements Of the north
west section before winter sets in.
AS soon as anthracite was available,
he declared, distribution of hard
coal would be supervised by the
federal organization along the lines
now in practice for the movement
Of bituminous.
Competitive bidding by railroads
and public utilities for fuel, accord
ing to reports to the central COM
nittee, has disturbed the agreed
price levels and the carriers were
asked today by Mr.. Spencer te
make no offers for coal at prices
above the Hoover levels.
