O'NEILL'S 1.-THE HAIRY APE'', TO
GIVE BROADWAY NEW DEPARTURE
FROM THE COMMONPLACE DRAMA

New Yrk, May 6-Within the
next few weeks more light will be
shed ON the unsolved theatrical
problem of the relationship of en-
thusiastic praise in Greenwich Viii
lage to commercial success in
Times Square.
A month ago Eugene O'Neill's
eight-episode tragedy, The Hairy
Ape, was produced by the Prov
incetown Players in their Mac
Dougal Street theatre. By one
academic expert it was pronounced
the best play OF the year; another
called it the best play ever written
by O'Neill.
Now the play is to be produced
on Broadway by Arthur Hopkins in
the hope that it will duplicate the
New York success Of Anna
Christie" and the continued road
success of Emperor Jones'.
Eight Episodes.
1t will probably fail in achiev-
ing the success of either of these
plays but 1.-The Hairy Ape" is sig
nificant in that it may mark the
definite departure of O'Neill from
the established dramatic form to
which Broadway audiences are ac-
customed.
In 1.-THE Hairy Ape" O'Neill tells
the story of the awakening of a
proletarian mind in eight episodes
episodes which are brilliant, at
times melodramatic, and which in
every case make a terrific assault
on the attention of the audience.
The dramatic form is that of
Emperor Jones', and in adopting
this form O'Neill's decision is an
alogous to writer who has dis
carded the novel and seeks to gain
his effect by a series of connected
short stories.
In The Hairy Ape" the eight
dramatic short stories begin with
the scene in the firemen's fore
castle of an ocean liner when Yank
Smith. the burly, ignorant stoker,
proclaims his creed: the fact that
''he belongs.
Gloriously blasphemous, taking
/ pride in his animal strength he
shouts his love for the machinery
of which he feels himself a part
and his contempt for the passen-
gers: they're only baggage.
Yank Smiths tragedy begins with
the discovery that he doesn't be-

stunning into the stoke hole, sees
the human animals in action and
with a shrek of reyulsion cries out

quoted in yesterdays issue of the
Press, relating to the inquiry as te
"when the Imperial Valley would

It would take large volume to tell
Of the many and trying experiences
that the pioneers of this valley went
through while retaining the mary
elously productive farms of the valley
from their desert waste.
The older residents of the valley
will remember how, in 1905 and 1906.
when the whole current of the Color
ado river was flowing into the valley,
and the inunIation thereof seemed
inevitable, many people left their fill
tings, and abandoned their farms and
left the valley; and again, a few
years later, of the big slump in the
cantaloupe market, and again in 1903
and 1910 of the adverse experiences
of the cotton growers.
Notwithstanding these adverse ex-
periences, and others that might be
noted; we can now boast, and justly,
Of an empire with its multiplied mil
lions of wealth. in 1907-G8 real es-

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 26.-"A hus-
band about the house all of the time

J. Shields here in the divorce suit
brought by Mrs. Adele Nagle against
John Bryon Nagle, railroad engineer.
The judge denied Mrs. Nagle the
divorce, although he stated that he
personally thought the woman de-
served one.
It was shown from the witness stand
that Nagle did the washing, helped
with the housekeeping, tended to buy
ing the clothes for their two children
and never spent anytime away from
home.

people have left the valley to better
their circumstances; many of them
have returned for the same purpose.
A story is told of man who left
the valley Immediately following the
earthquake of June 1915, and went
back to his former home in Kansas,
to escape earthquakes, and met his
death a few days after arriving in
his former state, in "Kansas cy-
Clone"
The foregoing in brief way served
as examples Of what Imperial Val
ley has experienced, of its accomp-
lishments, and Of its possibilities.
Indeed, there is no "comt ?back," so
far as the valley is concerned, neces-
sary. That its wondrous productive
ness and the fertility of it's soil has
too often been demonstrated to adj
nit of argument, think will be con-
ceded.

Pork Sausage-Pork sausage Is

for the cold weather and makes a
tasty and excellent breakfast If not

The pancakes take the place Of
toast or rolls and are a welcome

or meat should be put into a fairly
hot frying pan and cooked slowly
until nicely brown. Underdone sau-
sage Is very unpalatable and not at

him to come to see me?
IN DOUBT.
1t is your place to invite the

yet because of family conditions
could not hope to marry. She
often wondered II many working
girls. girls of mature years, yet
attractive, were not single for the
same reason. She knew many
girls, perhaps more than men,
had to help support some mem
ber, or all OF their immediate
family; that single young men
were more apt to leave home, and
in leaving, also forget their re-
sponsibilities than were young
women. OF course William Dali
ton, the man she loved, was diff
ferent. He had kept a home for
his mother, remained with her,
instead Of marrying and making
home of his own, and leaving
her to shift for herself with per-
haps little aid from him.
She sighed as she thought of
the years ahead of her, lonely
years. Yet she never allowed the
thought to sadden her, to make
her bitter. She knew he loved
her. that he longed to make her
his wife. She clung closely to
this love yet would consent to no
engagement even had william
asked it--he had told her he
would not bind her because of his
helplessness And Cora, while
perfectly willing to be bound, felt
it would make the situation even
harder for him.

DOROTHY FALLON VISITS
THE OFFICE
CHAPTER Sc

Chapter Sc
Dorothy Fallon now frequented
the office more often than before
her uncle went away. She, with
her young friends. often called
near the close OF the day, their
plans all laid to take Mr.. George
with them. Nellie wondered where
they were going-what they did
when they left the rooms chatting
gayly, the two or three girls pic
lures of youthful lovellness in
their modish clothes.
Occasionally Dorothy would
happen in alone and go to lunch
con with her cousin. Then Nellie
would be very quiet even If she
lunched with either Cora or
Gladys, or both. She was sure
Dorothy was In love with her
cousin, he with her. She did not
put into words, nor did she con-
sciously realize that she was hurt
when she thought of them as be-
ing together. Surely she never
had dreamed of being anything to
George Fallon save an employe;
he to her anything but a kind
employer.
Keen-eyed Miss Jones had no.
tieed nothing In Nellies bearing
that limited more than the ordi-
nary interest: but she had
thought at times Mr.. George ad-
mired Nellie more than even her
beauty would warrant in an en-
ployer. But as long as Nellie was
unconscious of it, it could do no
harm, and perhaps she imagined
him intrigued a bit more than he
really was. Anyway she could do
nothing
So the little moth that was
Nellie Riley flew close to the
danger line, her wings sure to be
singed unless some strong wind
blew her away.
Miss Jones was very good in
fluence for Nellie in many ways.
Her devotion to her employers
interests, her modest manners. her
quiet dignity could not help hav-
ing an effect on the young girl.
II am going to be just as near
like Miss Jones as / can" Nellie
told Cora.
"You couldn't have a better ex-
ample to copy IL / am any judge"
Cora replied. "The few times /
have seen her she impressed me
as being a very capable, refined
woman. She is sweet-looking, too
II wonder why she never has
married"
Cora's own little romance made
her rather curious concerning
