ME- NATIONAL ANTHEM" :"
J. Hartley Manners's latest


1 comedy. at Henry Miller's
Theater, is unique among plays in
that the underlying conception Of it
an exposure of the jazz orgy prevalent
in so many ways throughout the coun-
try-was born in two minds so simul-
taneously that the piece really repre-
sents twins. Miss Laurette Taylor,
star of the production, explained the
other evening in her dressing room
how she and her playwright husband
happened to get infected with the
same germ of an idea.
1T was at East Hampton, l.. l., last
summer" she said. while she black
ened her 'eyelashes until they seemed
as strong and deadly as hatpins.
Down there In the off months We
spend the time entirely swimming or
playing tennis. We hardly know the
world exists outside of that. South
ampton is, Of course, the show place.
but though 1t is only a drive of three
quarters of an hour away. we scarcely
go there. because East Hampton is so
much quieter and nicer-for our pur-
poses.
1--WE never think of visiting or en-
tcrtaining. because we have all of that
we can stand I'm the city during the
virter. In fact, we devote the summer
I; resting from one season and strength
cning ourselves for the next OF course.

during the summer don't attend any
ds nccs for I'm too busy resting.

you see in the play falling victims to

every one had all the cocktails and
CHER drinks he wanted--which was
ST. ock No for US. Not that we're Puri-
tans. but there we'd been for two
months. without any liquor in the house

to feel so fresh and unspoiled thas we
could hardly believe II when we saw
these perfectly nice people drinking and
acting sort OF hectic.

that we must all rush off to a resort

party. SO ! thought I'd take something
that would make me feel less Ike the

outlook more gloomy.

he meant to tell the truth about the
matter. He meant to devote some time
TO showing what was Belasco and what
was Picard. He had thought OF post

end of the plays run at the Belasco
