THE REVIEWING STAND
Rv Alevandey
BY Alexander Woollcott

In the final scene he is sitting SUI
perbly at the telephone explaining his
plans for the future to the editor OF
Silver Screenings" He intends, he
says. to marry Miss Montague. She
has been his best pal. of course. And
he might add, his severest critic. As
those familiar lines gave the signal
last night for the curtain to descend
was it altogether fancy that we seemed
TO see him standing in the tossing
twinlSling treetops high above a dreary
world, waving good-by?
II is impossible, as well as unneces-
sary. TO separate out two such per-
fectiy blended strands as Glenn Hun
ter and this play. Here is a fine and
uncommonly appealing actor meeting
the role of his heart. A dramatic
critics heaven is probably a theater
where there are no first editions and
where all the roles are as exactly cast
as this one. Out of it energies such a
Merton Gill as Wilson must have
dreamed of and cursed himself for not
quite realizing in print. Out of ii
comes an embodiment as satisfying as
any experience we have found in the
theater this, year.
Nor is il necessary TO particularize
in the matter of the surrounding cast,
which is well chosen throughout.
There should be q word for Lucille
Webster in a tiny role and several
words for Florence Nash in big one.
Miss Nash is, Of course, the Montague
girl. At first we rebeled a little at
the too familiar Cohanesque nasal, the
tell all the boys in Forty
street" air with which point after
point was pitched like quot at the
first nighters out front. Here, we
said, was canny, expert comedienne.
who knew how to put her shoulder to
any sagging scene and would put this
one over If she smashed 1t in the
process. We said all these things and
then ate our words when Florence
Nash filed the final act with a great
tenderness and the finest understand
ing any authors could ask.
All in all. charming and civilized
and abundant entertainment, more
adroit in its derision of the movies
than any Of its predecessors, more
worlmanlike than any play the
Messrs. Kaufman and Connolly have
written. 1t is a pleasure and a duty
to wind UP this report with the phrase
"SucceSs-Herald."

some other part of the machinery has
Slipped cog or two and for awhile
yesterday the gas plant was out of

The fire boys made an exceptional
stop of the fire yesterday at the Lib
erty Cafe. The rear part Of the build
ing was covered with iron sheeting
and it was hard to get opening thru
to fight the flames but the boys
worked hard and well and succeeded
in confirming the fire to the one build
ing, which is indeed a fine record for
the department. The one great thing
that was lacking also was pressure.
That is a matter the city will have
to take care Of at once if serious fires
are to be. checked. The quicker Val
ley City gets busy fixing up its water
supply, it's storm sewers and neces-
sary things Of this sort the better.

Mrs. John Heimes in writing to her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Cowell,
does not seem to be overly enthusi-
astic about California. She says that
they have just had two weeks Of rain
and cold weather and that during
that time she did not see the sun,
and her Judgment is that she would
rather live in North Dakota with the
thermometer forty below with the sun
shining brightly than to live in that
gloomy climate. She was recently at
a picnic where all the folks were
wearing fur coats and nlittens, and
we presume that if they had some
arctic overshoes out there they would
have worn those to keep warm.
