BELASCO
"BanCO"

A GAY comedy. full Of charming
human qualities and studded
with the surprises that are char.
acteristic of both author and
sdsptor, is promised in "Banco."
ito have its initial American pre-.
sentation tomorrow evening at the
Belasco. The piece is the first
production of the new season by
William Harris, jr., whose pre-
sentation of Drinkwater's "Abra.
ham Lincoln" Of Porter Emerson
Brownies The Bad Man." of East
Is West" and Of Alfred Savoir's
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" have
stamped him as one of the most
original among our producers.
"Banco" is from the French of
Alfred Savoir and is credited with
having achieved the outstanding
comedy success Of last winter in
Paris. Its American adaptor is
Clare Hummer, who stands in the
very first rank among American
writer's for the theater.
"Banco" is light comedy and its
story has to do with the struggles
that ensue when a young couple
who have been divorced mistaken
ly, endeavor to find way out.
The hitch lies in the fact that the
ex.wife has taken a new spouse.
Since the studies of character arc
even more important than the plot,
the locale of the action in France
has not been altered. Thus the
Savoir observations Of human ma.
ture are retained at full value.
The title is the nickname Of the
young hero, gained by his devotion
to the game of baccarat.
Mr.. Harris has provided fine
company, with the chief roles alot.

Harry came hurrying up. and
looked at what Andy was staring at.
The boardwalk between the school
house and the woodshed, which had
been perfectly all right the day be-
fore, was all torn up. There were
long marks on the upturned soil, like
rake marks. The new turned earth
showed tracks, big round tracks.
Harry burst out laughing
Il bet some OF the others are here
and trying to scare us!' he exclaimed.
We'll" said Andy. II shouldn't
think they'd have gone as far as tear
ing up the boardwalk and the grass. =

they heard a baby crying.
Gee" exclaimed Harry. looking
back at his brother That's queer.
There isn't a house inside mile of
here and still l hear a kid bawling,
don't your"
Andy did not reply. but he looked
scared and Harry suddenly remem-
bered the ghost.
The cry sounded again not far off.
Andy caught hold OF his brothers
arm, but Harry shook him off
II want to see a ghost. honest
do" Harry whispered. You go back.
II you like. But maybe you'll wish
you'd come along"
Andy decided at once to stick to
his brother, and looking around he
found a good stout club. Somehow it
made him feel safer. They began
moving slowly in the direction of the
cry. As they moved they heard an
other cry, further off, and Andy said:
IT'S Turing US deeper and deeper
in"
They suddenly came to a very
strange place which they had never
seen before. The brook made a sud
den turn there and near the bend was
tall rock, pointed at the top like a
crag, only It wasn't as large as a
mountain crag. Just as they came in
sight Of it. Harry said: "Woofi"
Then he turned around. looking
little white. but grinning. Il saw It,"
he said.
They fastened back to the school,
house, but when they got there their
friends had cleared off Andy ran out
in the road and shouted after them.
Come back" he called. It's all
right. Harry saw the ghost.'
Back fastened the two girls and
Joe. full Of questions. Harry was
grinning broadly.
You saw the ghost. Harry" ex-
claimed Grace
What was it like?" asked Joe.
'tOh. do tell u.s." cried Sylvia.
Yep said Harry, Il saw the
ghost. It's cat and it cries like a
baby. Its a panther
You should have seen them all jump
then. The brush wasn't cleaned out
that day. but soon the men took hold
and cleaned it, and went on a wild
cat chase, too. But the animal had
gone away, leaving tracks which con-
WINGED everybody that he was a giant
of his kind.

If Miss Williams felt the spell Of
the place, the children certainly felt II
more. The story of the Knox ghost
had 10 10 with child, you see. And
this is how the story ran:
Once, years ago. when the Knoxes
lived there, they had little adopted
child with them and one day, when
nobody was looking, the child tum-
bled down the we'll When the well
was dragged a large black cat was
found in it instead OF a child. The
rescuers put the cat on the ground
and it came to, and dashed into the
woods screaming and crying like a
young child. A spook, as sure as
you're born The Knoxes had evil
IDENTIFY done something to peeve the
child. for the ghost began TO haunt
the place In the most disagreeable
manner. 1t went screaming and cry
ing around the house on dark nights;
il set fire to the barn and tore a big
hole in the roof and scared the family
so that they all moved away.
My opinion Is. and always will be,
that Marion's own mother came and
kidnapped her. said Mrs. Williams.
That's what I'd do if somebody was
to go and adopt one OF my children.
You can't tell me that child could
turn into a black cat, so there!"
Miss Williams laughed and agreed
with her mother, but, even so, there
was something creepy about the new
schoolhouse. She decided that the
underbrush in the brook which ran
close to the house must be cleaned
away.
Everybody IN the school was very
fond OF the teacher. so it was not
long before three of the biggest boys
and two biggest girls decided to give
their teacher a surprise.
"She never hangs around after
school," said Joe Russell. I've can
put in several hours Saturday after
noon and clean out the brook and the
brush back of the woodshed."
