ONLY USELESS SURFACE
LINES TO BE SCRAPPED
Harkness Says Brooklyn Pro-
tests Will Be Needed.

In a speech last night before the Flat
bush Taxpayers Association, lie Roy r.
Harkness, Transit Commissioner. said, in
part:
The public reaction IN Brooklyn to
the suggested rerouting of Brooklyn sur
face lines, involving the elimination Of
more than one hundred miles of present
trackage, indicates an active and robust
public sentiment. The commission has
received criticism and suggestion from
many directions, and mass meetings In
various sections have been held and are
being projected. In the case Of one line
pr opposed for abandonment, petition
signed by $4,000 citizens has been prom
ised to the commission. Such a petition
is not necessary because the commission
will get and will fairly consider their
points Of view.
"The whole idea is to eliminate only
such lines as have survived their use
fulness and to put the money and energy
now utilized in their operation into a
more intensive operation of the really
serviceable surface lines"

T. EXTENSION VOTED
BY TRANSIT BOARD

Opposed.
LONG DELAY FEARED

clared Policy of Esti-
mate Board.
NAY HOLD Up MONEY

Estimate Body Holds
Purse Strings.
MAY HOLD Up MONEY

The Transit Commission, antagoniz-
ing the declared policy of the Board
Of Estimate, announced yesterday II
had voted in favor of elevated rather
than subway construction for the un-
completed portion of the Fourteenth h
street Eastern line in Brooklyn, which
extends from near Bushwick avenue
10 a connection with the existing
j.. r. T. elevated lines in East New
York. The extension is to be built
largely over the right of way of the
Long Island Railroads. single track
Bushwick branch, where the city has
obtained an easement.
The Board Of Estimate on January
13 last, after a public hearing. went
on record "as being opposed to the
construction Of elevated railroads in
the streets of the city in connection
with rapid transit extension
Contracts for the work will now be
prepared by the commission Its early
completion is one of the most pressing
needs Of the present transit situation.
But the Board of Estimate holds the
purse strings. 1t may at will hold up
contract appropriations indefinitely.
For the first time since the Transit
Commission came into existence last
May ii determined an important policy
by divided vote or two to one. Major
Gen. Organ favored subway construc-
tion.
Commissioner Hardness said he was
opposed to additional elevated construc-
ton wherever avoidable, but was moved
by unusual conditions in this case.
George McAneny. chairman, voted with
Commissioner Hardness.
Mr.. Harkness said that IL this had
been a new question the commission
would have been unanimous for sub
way construction. But the city nine
years ago had contracted with the
New York Municipal Railway Corpora
ton for elevated construction over this
right of way. which lies not through
city streets. but above the track Of a
steam railroad. As q matter of law. the
contract cannot now be changed with
out tho assent of the transit corpora
tion concerned. That concurrence has
been refused by Lindley NJ. Garrison.
receiver, who stands on his original
contractual rights.
But the vital consideration with me"
said Mr.. Harkncss. explaining his vote
10 his colleagues OF the commission.
lis that the attempt now TO change
from elevated to subway construction
would delay for two years operation
or the line. During that period the
teeming population in Brownsville and
other districts served by the Broadway
elevated would have to be carried into
the Center street loop and transferred
a. Canal street"
As an additional reason for his vote
Nr. Hardness said the proposed substi-
tuition of subway would saddle the city
with an additional charge OF between
$4,000. 900 and S6,oe0.000.
Chairman McAneny said he had
reached conclusions in accord with those

Meantime, there is something you ought to be

Colors pretty and sometimes they are very i'm
porcant. When your face is nice and pink, it shows
you are healthy and strong: When your clothes are
white, it shows they arc clean
But with soap, that is not always true.
Sometimes, of course, good soap has natural
color. But it is very easy to color soap artJfaaAy

color in soap, if it is really fine soap?

Parents are not supposed to read this

One reason is: to make the soap look prcttier (But
of course that doesn't make it clean better or feel
nicer, docs it0
We could color Ivory Soap blue or pink or green OF
purple or yellow, if we iked-it would be Just as
easy for you to color the Ivory cake in the picture
But Ivory is tare-it hasn't anything to hide and
its natural color is creamy white, SO why should We
color it?
No, we don't color Ivory. We are proud of its
purity, and we want everybody to know it, SO we
leave Ivory creamy ubie just as it is naturally.
Now, of course, because Ivory is so pure it is very
mild and gentle and can't hurt the most delicate
skin. Its lather is rich and fluffy, and you can
rinse it off before you can say Jack Robinson"
And in the bath-tub Ivory swims just like white
boat-you can always get it back without diving to
the bottom for it.
When you are coloring the picture, be sure to leave
the Ivory cake wbite; and when you want the very
finest quality of soap for your face and hands and
bath and hair, you will find it inside that familiar
old black and white Ivory Soap wrapper.

London Stage
By Ware B. Wells

LONDON. December !.
CUTR0 and Shelley--it would surely
- be difficult to find a more complete
antithesis than exhibited by two
important plays recently produced in
London. Alfred Sutro Is a deft crafts
man. facilc writer Of sparkling dia-
logue. the finest flower Of artihciality
as a form Of art. That the world lost
in Shelley a great dramatist as well
as a great poet is made manifest to-
day after more than hundred years,
his tragedy. 1.-The Cenei,' having been
staged at the New Theater By sybil
Thorndikc at the same time "The
Laughing Lady," by sutro, was put on
at the Globe.
II "The Cenci" for more than a CEN
tury had not been under the censor's
ban, probably the Globe would have
drawn full houses. while the New
Theater would have remained half
empty. Shelley was an erratic genius;
but you know just where you are with
sutro. Society drama freely spiced
with epigrams; dramatic situations,
strong plot. and, in this case, an all
star" cast.-what more does the aver
age playgoer desire? II does not matter
that Sutro does not trouble TO 90 70
the heart of humanity for his situa-
tions. and that fundamentally his char
acters are stage types rather than
human beings. But as the characters
hold the stage the authors craftsman
ship and the polish and sincerity Of
the acting disguise their actual hol-
lowness. And the lines. anyway, are
always worth hearing in their satire
and wit.
"The Laughing Lady" is British
school, in that vein Of high comedy
which is native to the English stage
and to nowhere else. There are aside
from the servants. eight characters.
Three Of them have titles; the scene
Is Mayfair, and the dresses are by
Worth. The characters all are over the
supertax line. Equipped with the latest
fashions and with epigrams. some Of
them not quite so recent, they devote
themselves elegantly TO matrimonial
complications with the same dogsed
ohstipaey that their poorer fellow
countrymen apply to the spotting Of
winners as they read the midday spe-
eials against the walls Of saloons.
One need not be more particular
about the plot. Il want said Sutro'
after the first night, "to express my
deer indebtedness TO the artists WITH
ont whose efforts my play would have
he,n worth very little" There is many
a true word spoken in compliment

EUery Man in
His OlCn HunOr
Imagination and Mechanics

NHAuEfH0ANNH
DEAR SIR: The average audience
cannot sustain stage illusion
without mechanical aids. Boldly
| announce this discovery, not TO dis
credit audiences, but in the effort 70
establish a principle Of aesthetics.
Recently II has been the fashion to
diseredit realistic scenic effects. In
their place has come the play without
scenery. and the scenery Of symbolism
and suggestion--a column. doorway,
two trees and bit OF wall. But the
effectiveness OF such settings, | de-
clare. is pictorial only; the audience
merely believes that IL sustains the
illusion.
And this fact is demonstrated
nightly in the theatres. The imagina-
tive credenee Of an audience Is as
unsteady as the fame Of a candle, and
hickers out as giddily. Let an actor
collide with a piece Of furhitGro or
stumble slightly; let him falter on a
word or halt in line and the In
terest Of the audience is Immediately
sidetracked. The story and the situa-
ton are at once forgotten. Only one
thing interests every one: What will
20 wrong next?
Nightly have I watched this prin-
ciple demonstrated at performances Of
"The last Warning" This Is a play
which deliberately eyokes the mag
nation. II is double titular chal-
lenge-a reversal Of every known rule
Of dramaturgy. There is acting In
front, IN back and in the very heart
OF the theater. The audience has the
welcome chance 10 become an intrinsic
part OF the story.
But what happens? When the lights
20 out for a second, there are cat
calls. sh's. giggles and titteiings. The
dramatic force Of sheer darkness Is
ruthlessly violated.
No. the average audience is in
capable Of sustaining an illusion with
out mechanical effects. We hear
references to Elizabethan plays with
out scenery. but few to the gallants
who hurled missiles at the actors
during the action Of the play. We are
still dependent on the electric light,
the wind machine, the paint brush and
all the rest Of the vulgar iupedimenta.
BERNARD SOBEL.
New-York tribune., 1922-12-10

"The work Of all the cast" he added
"is sufficient answer TO some OF the
criticism that has recently been made
at the expense Of the English stage"
There is justice in his claim that while
there are artists like Marie Lohr, Vi3-
let Vanbrugh, Godfrey Tearle, eve need
have no fear for the future Of the Eng
lish theater," so far as its acting is
concerned.
"The Laughing Lady" certainly
seemed like "the stuff 70 give EN-"
in election week. Sybil Thorndike
needed TO have all her nerve. but she
never is lacking in that quality. to pro-
duce "The Cenci" at such a time. Her
courage has been splcndidly vindi-
Gated. For a hundred years those who
care TO read great literature have been
at liberty to acquaint themselves with
this grim and terrible story. Shelleys
play was first printed in Leghorn IN
1919 and published in England in the
spring Of 1920. The Shelley Society or
ganized a private performance in 1855,
but it was then still under the ban Of
the censor. It was produced in Prague
in honor Of the Shelley centenary
But the first public, unbanned per-
formance in Shelley's native country
has only now taken place, one hundred
and two years after the play was writ
ten.
Despite obvious impediments, the
play is cleaner than many a readily
licensed French farce. Shelley, OF
course, founded his blank verse trag-
edy upon an historical incident. Bea-
triee Cenci, the daughter OF father
who was a madman. became his victim.
She and her stepmother and brother
eonspired TO bring about the fathers
death. By decree OF Pope Clement
VIII Beatrice was executed for psrr-
eide.
Beatrice is a role which sybil Thorn
dixie probably alone Of English
actresses is competent to play. The
mart Of Cenei was taken by Robert
Farouharson. an amateur OF extraordi-
nary gifts, who lives most Of his time
in Italy and acts very seldom. These
TWO acted superbly, and they were ade-
ouately supported. Shelley said IN MS
