 King of Kings is the first of six post humous plays written by George Baxter, newspaperman and playwright. It is ex- pocted that it will be produced in August by MT. Kelley, chief counsellor of the American Youth movement.
 The manuscript has been in the posses sion of the writer's widow. Mrs. Dorothy Usher Baxter, for many years. Although Arthur Hopkins and David Belasco both had options on it, Mrs. Baxter decided to produce it immediately through MT. Kel- ley, considering the time opportune for play of it's character.
 The piece never has been tried out and will see its first rehearsal at MT. Kel- ley's Woodstock camp this summer. The play deals with a universal theme and is not to be looked upon a, Passion play, it is safd despite ts religious foundation.
 Private capital is said to be behind the venture, the play necessitating an outlay of over $10o,000. Walter Browne was not the writer of King of Kings, as many believe.

As the machines came together the Ford ran up on a lawn and tore down a, line of shrubbery while the Cleveland turned turtle. No person l in either car was injured.
