Vaughan. An egotistica1 Eng

ment and a wife whose CONVEX
sational craftsmanship rivals a
Browning gun in speed and ac-
curacy and Browning poet in
grace and charm, are delight
fully intriguing subjects for Mr..
Maugham's nice pen.
True, toward the middle of q
not overly strong second act,
absurdity furnished some of the
fine gloss Of the piece. but after
thought recalls that husbands and
wives are for the most part
frightfully absurd much Of the

THE Cancels Back?"
Briefly, our husband, a thorough
ly annoying person who knows
not the trick of achieving peace
himself the target of gentle abuse
from wife whose experiences at
annoying is rivaled only by a
silent husband. Implanting in
her. spouse the thought that she
has been unfaithful to him is a
minor task, and from the moment
of his flaring he is as a fighter
who has forgotten his guard.
Straw by straw the wife loads
up the staggering camel until
the suggestion that his mind is
falling brings on the threatened
collapse.
Violet Kemple Cooper as
Hemione, the wife who annoys,
and Charles Cherry as the an
noying husband are excellent.
Washington's favorite grandma,
Louise Closer Hale, of "LulIf

the vogue for mystery drama had
passed, when 1.-THE Bats, The
Whispering Wires and THE Last

Next ROOM the dramatizat1on
by Eleanor Robson and Harriet
Ford of Burton Stevenson's novel

threatens to revive the waning
flame and awaken a new interest

spread abroad by Impresario L.

collector of antiques whose latest
acquisition from abroad is a rep

upon delivery proves to be the
almost priceless original, rather
than a clever counterpart, as the
buyer had supposed. From the
time of the entrance of the cabi-

ercise an evil influence. First, an
unknown caller awaiting an inter-
view is found dead, apparently
from poison; a few hours later,
the collector himself meets the
same fate. A newspaper man, the
fiance of the collectors niece and
