BY JAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-As the
final curtain fell on "Tweedles." this
reviewer wondered how Booth Tark-
ington and Harry Leon Wilson had
created such a~highly diverting comedy
on such tenuous theme.
Winsora Tweedles folks believe that
she is much better than Julian Castle
bury. Her folks run an antiquity shop
and tea room at a summer resort. They
have lived in that community for gen.
erations.
The Castlebury parents believe their
son much above the simple village
maiden. Their family is one Of the
eldest Of Philadelphia and one of
illustrious name in history.
Now this theme is not so tenuous
as it seems. Today, Harry H. and
Myrtle Kabotchnick have asked the
Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia
for permission to shorten their name
to Cabot. Objection to the change
has been raised on the ground that
Cabot is name associated for cen.
turtles with the early history of Amer.
lea.
I believe that the court could read
lily solve this problem by sending the
Kabotchnicks to see this new Tarking.
ton-Wilson play. They undoubtedly
would be willing to change their name
to Tweedle. Or if the Cabots were to
see 'Tweedles" they would probably
withdraw their objections to the taking
Of their name by the Kabotchnicks.
In the play, Winsora and Julian
bring their ancestries to a dead Level
by facing their elders with some OF
the Infamous episodes hung on their
respective family trees. The elders
had recounted only the famous
achievements Of their forbears. The
most undemecratic trait of the
American is this false pride in fam.

hero is young fellow considered
pretty much of a boob by most of
his acquaintance. An unsophisti-
Gated little girl sees him at his true

This is brought about in 'Twee-

in psychology. The boy believes that

The plot of "Tweedles" may seem
hardly, strong enough to carry three
acts, but Harrington and Wilson have
built up several excellent character
parts and expanded the action with
adroit bits Of by-play.
Ruth Gordon as the heroine and
Gregory Kelly, the hero, are thorough
ly in the spirit OF the play at all
times. Donald Mack, as a blbulous
old uncle OF Winsora; George Farren,
as the proud and oratorical father,
and Patti Cortez, as the prim and
close-mouthed aunt, are three Of the
best character players gathered in
one production in many months.

PULLMAN PURCHASES. SUBJECT TO INQUIRY
Interstate Commerce Commission Will Open Hearings Upon Question

WASHINGTON, April 9.--An in vestiga ton into the proprlety and the reasonableness of the present surcharge placed against passengers who use Pullman equipment and into the general schedule of rates charged for Pullman car servict, was insti- tuted today by the Interstate com merce commission. Times and places fo. hearings will be assigned later.
 At present Pullman passengers are required to pay surcharge amounting to fifty per cent of the Pullman rates, the extra money going to the railroad company on whose lines the journey is made. A complaint in reference to Pullman service brought by the United States Commercial Travellers of America will be taken up in connection with the general in vestigation the commissions order said
 The commission indicated that the investiga ton would be made with a view to determine just what and reasona ble charges to be assessed for accommodations furnished passeu- gers travelling in sleeping and parlor cars; and including ill such investi- gation, the bases of compensation as between the railroad companies and the Pullman with respect to the use of sleeping and parlor cars.
 Since a surcharge of 50 per cent which it was explained the railways not the Pullman company, received was added to Pullman rates in 1920 there has been agitation among some organizations and in several states against the added charge.

WHEAT SCARS TO NEW HIGH RECORD
 FOR THIS SEASON

CHICAGO, April 9.-With prospects that seeding will be late in tue north west and the acreage much reduced, wheat today reached new high price records for the season. Closing quo- tatlons were unsettled at A to A net advance, May S1.23A to S1.23A and July s1.20& to s1.21. Corn and oats also outdid the seasons previ- ous top figures for some deliveries Corn gained 1 1s @1A to 1sc net, and oats 2sc to 1a e Ssc. In provisions the outcome varied from Pc decline to varied from 3 cents decline to a rise of 10c.
 Frozen ground and snow drifts in the spring wheat belt vas said to mean that 10 days or more would have to elapse before farmers throus- out large stretch of territory could do any field work.
 Evening up operations to prepare for the government crop report >eased tho wheat market at times, but at tho last values swung upward again with indications that big shorts were covering. Liberal primary receipts exercised temporary bearish in fluence. After the close. much di- vision of sentiment was shown as to how the government report should be construed, the majority of trad CTS. however, appearing to lean to a bullish view.
 General buying and scarcity of of ferings lifted corn and oats.
 Provisions rallied in sympathy with grain, although weak at first owing to decline in hog values.

 NEW YORK, April 9.-Stock ex- change operations were limited in volume tax today. Those who are operating for declinA find that the market refuses to yield while those who have faith in values are dis posed to let matters stand where they are for the present. Considerable encouragement was drawn from a statement made by Secretary Mellon that the increase in feceipts of taxes during March, amounting to some S1O,0G0,080, was q forecast of possibly lower tax rates to como if the ad- mfnistratton program can be carried out. It Is known that President Harding savors tax reductions it the radical group in Congress VIII per init it. At any rate he has provided good argument against the rcstora- = ton of the oxoess profits tsx and any increase in the higher brackets of the sur taxes. III, statement that 25 per cont, as a maximum, is all that is needed is likely to have conSidera- ble weight.
 It is by no means an un:avorable manifestation that Wall street is not allowing Itself to become unduly elated over the business situation.
 
 stands ard there Is the strongest de- sire to maintain 1t on it's present basis. According to all calculations, business will continue active through out the whole calendar yea. and for some time in the next year, and while there may be some slowing down hero and there as time Coss on, 1t will only mean t!,A. industry which is now st high speed will gradually set- tis down to something more nearly approaching normal as we knew 1t in pre-war days.
 Height Of s.,isi.2 2 B Boon.
 For example. we are at the height of the building boom, In the course of time, the shortage will be made up and building will then be carried on at its present rapid pace. If thors is anything top heavy in the present sl:uation. 1t h the building of things. 1t is not likely to coll lapse. It can taper off as the de- mand ocmes nearer being satisfied. Cur whole industrial activity at present Is based upon the fact that we are repairing war damage and arc the only country with credits and facilities sufficient to do SO. Secretary Hoover was wise in sug- Sestiag that government building op- erat.ons he held in aSeyance to pro- vide reserve when the showdown comes and it may be that in other Nnes. wc shall have to look about for something to take tho place Of the present active demand. While we may look for building activity to be the first to quiet down, there are still heavy arrears of work of other descriptions that should keep indus try active for many months to come. Noverthalos it is just IS well to keep ia mind that the present rate Of activity cannot continue forever. Wall street looking at it from the earn ing standpoint, realizes that 100 per cent activity discounts the maximum, and is disposed to be little cau- iinus on that account.
