THE cAaT,
By EARLE DORSEY.

~ - poesiuie 10 set toftH Win
conviction at least two factb about
"A Clean Town." the new play by
the authors OF "Kempy." that Rich
ard G. Herndon brought to tbs Gar.
rick last night. viz. that J. c.. and
Elliott Nugent oppose on principle
the Eighteenth amendment. and
that both might be arrested for
what they think of its enforcement.
These two facts are clear; the rest
of the play is otherwise.
"A Clean Town" seems to hav.
started with the idea of a satire
calculated to lay bare the short
comings of that generation of small
town right-thinkers who prats OF
prohibition In public and tip their
TASKS in private. Somewhere alons
the line. though. this idea becomes
badly involved In farce frst. then
melodrama, and finally romantic
comedy: and by the time the third
act curtain falls the original idea
has gone by the board.
The chief character 10 q young
journalist. who agrees to hunt boot
leggers in order to get decent stun
to drink. Assigned to a small town
with the understanding that the
mayor will dictate his enforcement
policy. he falls in loye with a girl
editor, becomes converted to her
ideas Of law and order, shows up
the mayor as a bootlegger and a
scoundrel. and ends up by kissing
the lady and becoming her chief as
sistant.
It must be admitted that through
out the piece the Nugents manage
to preserve a curious style that lifts
"a Clean Town" out OF the claAs OF
ordinary bad plays and puts II into
the class Of plays that might have
been. As II stands. II Is none to
good a play. despite its occasional
deceptive ease. its frequent flashes
Of high humor and its bits of alb
sorbing Characterization. II ends
with a curious suggestion of empti-
ness. Of having gotten nowhere. Of
having lost its theme. its purpose,
its excuse for existence. This Is
and inarticulated technique. which
might easily be smothed out with
moro careful and less hurried treat
ment.
However, there remains the cast
First in Importance ts Charles Rug
giles, the enforcement agent. The
script gives him his moments. but
in the main he probably has reason
for bringing to the role a too-facile
fiippancy a forced trick of laugh
ter. a tendency to resort to hokum
at all turns. Ralph J. Locke seems
more forceful in the role Of the
villain. while Lucille Nikolas man
ages to make charming the Quixotic
role Of the girl editor who scents
iniquity with a super-collegiate in
stinct. In fact. one can hnd little
fault with anyone In the cast. but
considering that nearly everyone be-
comes prominent at one time or an
other, they form too large an ag-
gregate to mention individually.
For the uncritical theatergoer who
cares little for them and stakes all
on a rush of incident. "A Clean
Town." will fll the bill. For those
who have taken seriously the
Manhattan panegyrics over Hem
py," by the same authors, "A Clean
Town." leaves much to be desired,
despite its more exhilarating mo-
ments.

Mr& Roster Weeps While
State Seeks Conviction
For Double Murder.

PH3IApELPHIA. Pa. Oct. ,s.-
Catherine Roster broke down today
when The bloodstained glasses of
her Husband were introduced as evi-
dencs q her trial for the murder OF
Miss Mildred Reckitt. pretty young
stenographer, who she shot at the

court this morning calm and strong
a. the NTH day of the trial opened.
wspt and almost tainted when the
glasses were introduced by Assist
ant District Attorney Speiser. She
was revived by court attendants
and the trial was resumed.
Evidence was mostly concerning
the ofices of the Roster Advertising
Company, where the double killing
took place. and movements Of the
principals on the day Of the shoot
ing.
The State is trying to prove that
Mrs Roster shot ner husband and
his stenographer In cold blood and
that she had no reason to believe
there were improper relations be
tween them.
The defense maintains that Mrs.
Roster found her husband and Miss
Reckftt in a compromising position
when she entered the ONCE and shot
themsin a blind fury. Whether the
stenosrapher was shot as she sat at
her desk or in the big lounge IN
