enough backbone.
The program announces that
'Banco" is a comedy of one charm
ing wife and TWO husbands, adapted
from the French of Alfred Savior by
Glare Hummer
1 am afraid l am rather old fash
toned, as l do not relish the idea of
seeing a divorced husband calmly sit,
ting on the steam radiator in the bed
room on the wedding night of his di-
vorced wife to another man.
Husbands don't run in twos, not in
proper comedy. All the laughs I
had last night at the Murat were
hysterical laughs Some of the stu
atoms We're brilliant Ia few but the
main theme is stupid bunk.
"BancO" to me land l am speaking
only for myself is "A sort of spicy
French pudding made into a clumsy
apple dumping. In the frs. place,
am not fond Ct stupid second hus-
bands and porch-climbing first hus-
bands.
"Banco" hasn't enough backbone to
be brilliantly rotten. The theme is
q
bore. It isn't so much what is said
in 'Banco" that counts. but rather
how it encourages one to think in
dependently
'Banco' is supposed 10 he a rather
tIase treatment of marriage and
divorce. The entire treatment is too
f1ippant even in a comedy There is
too much ultra-thought in this comedy
for me.
To this alley weed of a comedy,
Stuart Walker has given it a setting
Of gorgeous beauty. Never has Walker
given us more beautiful stage
pictures. Tt is a pity to waste such
beauty and such talented acting up
on such a mere nothing OF a comedy.
The settings are Stuart Walker at his
best The play is just a worthless
and foolish brain child of French
parentage.
Let il be understood that I find
fault with the play. not with the
settings or the acting. The first act
has an unusual situation. but it is
mighty thinly spread out over twenty
or more minutes. The second act has
some clever playwriting while the
third act tries so hard to just get over
the cliff, but 1t can't make the grade.
There is one splendid acting tri-
umph Of the whole play II Is the
work of L Estrange Millmln as Baron
Henri Delignieres, the second but
silly second husband. 1t is a most
foolish role. but Millman brings to
it some mighty true artistry. Too
bad to give real talent to such an
undertaking.
Tom Powers is cast as the gam.
bling first husband Of Charlotte Count
Alexander de Lussac (played by Pow
ers) is the sort of man who doesn't
have very much respect for mar
riage laws and he certainly has no
sincere knowledge of what a divorce
really means.
Spring Byington is cast as Char
lotte, whose views on domestic life are
not so domestic This role is not
suited TO Miss Byington. For the
life OF me I can't see that this role
would be suited to any one
The work Of the entire cast is much
better than the comedy. Others In
the cast include William Kirkland.
Boyd Agin.. Kay Strozzi, Donald Mac
donald and numerous others.
'Banco' remains on view at the
Murat all week
What 1 have said of 'Banco" is my
own opinion. Kindly have your own.

departed this life one year ago today, March

Today recalls the memories
OF a loved one gone to rest,
And the ones who are thinking OF him
Are the ones who loved him best.
The month of March is here,
To me the saddest OF the year.
Because one year ago today
My dear husband passed away.
A happy home once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left a lonesomeness
This world can never fill.
