BELASC0-"Bluebeard's Eighth
Wife"

"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" by AL
fred Savoir, produced by George Mar
shall continue for another week at
the Shubert-Belasco.
John Brandon, American copper
king, has married seven times. One
wife was unlucky enough to die. The
other six he divorced, granting them
generous pensions of 200, 900 francs
each. Mona. daughter of an impover-
iShed French nobleman, is the eighth
woman whom he wishes to make his
wife. An American millionaire hus-
band-especially with the possibility
of divorce and a handsome pension
looks safe to Mona, so, after ar
ranging for an extra large divorce
pension. she becomes wire No. s. The
divorce. however, proved a bigger
problem than she expected, so a
frame-up is necessary to shake her
husbands faith in her.
The play is a French product. with
a wholly unnecessary bedroom scene,
for in plot and dialogue it is clever.
Hazel Dawn as Mona, with Frank
Conroy as John Brandon, make the
best of roles that constitute mainly
a battle of wits that is unusually en-
Ioyable.

BROWNS SHOW SOME LIKELY

BEST PLAYER SINCE COBB,
 SPEAKER SAYS OF SUMMA
Young Right Fielder With Indians Regarded as Real Find by
 Manager.

Lakeland, Fla. April 5.-The best looking outfielder to break into the American league since the days of Cobb, is the complimentary manner in which Iris Speaker refers to young Homer Summa, who will hold down right field for the Indians this year.
 When you consider that Mir. Speak, CT is some outfiedler himself. and that he came into the American league after Cobb. you get an even better idea of what the Cleveland manager thinks of the youngster. Incidentally we will pardon Spoke's modesty in the matter.
 Unless Summa has a fault, or de- velops one that is not now apparent, the young man has great chance to be 8 star in year or two. He does everything we'll and will improve

Several candidates, includ- ing Ewing and Cosgrove. will be tried out at third base. Murphy, Weed and Wear are after the job in right field. Desibour's berth in left field is in doubt because of light batting.

YALE COACH PICKS
 ALL-STAR QUINTET
Pite, Luther, Gaines, Gitlitz and
 Loeb Choice Of Eli Mentor

New Haven. April 6.---Joe Fogarty, coach of Yale's intercollegiate cham pionship basketball team, last night announced his selection of m all-star five picked from among players in the Intercollegiate league. The team fol- lows: Pite, Yale, right forward; Lu- ther. Cornell, left forward; Gaines. Princeton, center: Gitlitz. Yale, right guard; Loeb, Princeton, left guard.
 This selection" said Mir. Fogarty, includes a couple of variations from the list picked by experts who close- ly followed the game. Pite fairly won the right forward selection with not many dissenting voices, His clever under-the-basket game,> his lively court covering, combined with the clever passing which he developed late in the season make his claim in- controvertlble, it seems to me.
 My selection of Luther for the other forward position differs from most of the experts in that he was usually chosen for center, where he played. We should remember, how ever that he is naturally a forward. elHo thdL HC Wdo IItOfcu tO CcHtcT IIllS season to meet the exigencies and de- mands of the distribution of the Cornell material. The move was wise one, as it allowed the Ithacan quintet to utilize it's skill most scien- tif1cally. but Luther would be much more valuable to an all-star combin- ation at forward than at center, while Gaines, who is practically his equal at center with Luther by his side. Each is feet inches tall, and the possibilities of five which includes both in its membership appear to be much greater than one in which, for instance, Eddie Suisman of Yale, who may be the equal of Luther in many respects, is picked as forward
 My selection of Loeb and Gitlitz as side partners on the same alI-star five is based on the same considera- tions. It must be remembered that Loeb is so-called rushing guard while Gitlitz is of the stationary or defensive variety purely.
 The team which I have picked would. I am confident. defeat, any other quintet which could be devised or arranged from the material of the league last season."

 Summa looks mighty good to me in spring training. He is. sa ,gleft- handed hitter. steps into the,d ball beautifully and takes healthy cut. He is fast, has good arm and handles himself we'll in the hefd.
 Speaker. who says he is inf,great shape himself and looks it, believes that his legs will stay with him and that he will lose mighty few games this year.
 T have put them to every test so far and haven't felt the slightest pain or weakness. However, often some sudden start plays more havoc with a bad knee than. all the hard tests you put it to.
 'If I should have any trouble, Summa can play center field in great style and Frank Brewer will look after right
 All of which proves the confidence Speaker has in Summa. Incidentally he feels that Summa won't have to shift to center very often.
