"Recoil."

Betty Blythe Is "the woman in the
case" in Goldwyn's production of
"Recoil," a screen adaptation of Rex
Reach's story, which is shown at the
Rialto Theater this week. The story
is drama in it's heaviest sense, with
out humorous shading to relieve the
strain on the emotions of a summer
audience Betty seems to be a much
sinned against and misunderstood
woman, and she wears blonde wig
that does not aid in giving effective
ness to her characterization. The
camera may conspire, but it will not
lie in such matters.
As Norma Selbee, Betty is sup
posed to believe that her crook hus-
band is safely dead in America. She
is introduced to the audience in the
act of burning the last can of her
precious baked beans in q small

ings are to be erected on the property
except such as will make for better
play and sport standards. The grounds
are to be open to all without regard
to race, creed or color.
All applications must be endorsed
by the mayor or the president of the
Board of Education, and contain a res
olution by the proper officials to equip
and properly maintain the playfeld as
an asset in the community. Formal
application blanks together with the
detailed requirements will be furnish
ed upon request. The specific details
under which this offer is made will be
strictly adhered to and writing will be
useless unless these conditions can be
complied with. AS the necessary work
of selection will involve a large
amount of detailed correspondence, if
the experience of giving ten play
grounds in Ohio during 1928 is any
criterion, it is earnetly requested by
the Foundation that organizations and
individuals interested in the offer re-
member the physical limitations of the
Foundation, and the specific require
ments of the offer.
Communities wishing to make appli-
cation for a playfeld should first send
for the formal application blank which
provides for the careful appraisal of
the land in question by two disinter-
ested appraisers, evidence hat an op-
ton has or can be secured for a sufii-
cient length of time to consummate
the purchase arrangements, and assur-
ance that the title to the property is
free and clear of all membranes or
can be made so on or before taking
title. Conveyance will preferably be
made to the Board of Education. Ap-
plicatiOn forms and other information
about the offer will be sent only upon
written request TO Harmon Founda-
ton, Inc. 40 Nassau Street, New
York. The closing date OF the offer is
July l.
The selection of the recreation sites
will be based upon the growth of the
community and the corresponding ne
cessity of setting aside play land at an
early late in order to provide against
future growth and the greater expense
OF securing land, the d~esirability of
the location and the relative value of
the property under consideration, and
finally the degree of cooperation in
improving and maintaining the field
assured by the towns making applica-
ton.
These playields will be known in
each locality as Harmon Field. The
Foundation reserves the right to ex-
tend the offer if the need is shown to
be very great, or on the other hand,
reduce the number of fields to be Sc
lected if sufficient attractive opportu-
mites are not presented from which to
make an adequate choice.

PLAY GROUNDS
FOR CHILDREN
Harmon Foundation Would Pro-
vide Land in Fifty Places-City
Must Provide Equipment.

Boys and girls in fifty towns and
cities throughout the United States
are soon to have new playields that
will be theirs for all time. according to
an announcement just made public by
the Harmon Foundation of New York.
Through this organization the founder,
Mr.. William E. Harmon, proposes TO
purchase within the current year, fifty
Fairgrounds or recreation fields and
present them TO the towns, cities and
suburbs of cities in which they are
located. ~Pleasantville. here's your
chance.
Communities applying for the bene-
fit of this offer must have had at least
a thirty per cent. growth in population
since 1900, as it is the intention OF the
donor to present play space in locali-
ties where advancing real estate val
ues will create a serious problem in
playground acquisition in future years
unless sufficient areas are set aside in
the earlier stages of their growth.
The conditions under which this Off
er is made have been developed with
a view toward immediate and future
need, the assurance of local co-opera-
ton in development and maintenance
and use, and the educational value OF
the principles on which the Harmon
Foundation is working-that THE gift
of land is the gift eternal, which in
ereases in its usefulness as the COM
munity in which it is situated grows
in population with a corresponding in
crease in demand for recreation
spaces.
This offer TO give away 100000 for
play land is part of the program OF the
Division OF Fairgrounds OF the Har-
mon Foundation in its efforts to arouse
and stimulate active local interest in
growing towns and cities in setting
aside tracts of land that are decided
permanently for play purposes. The
interest Of the Foundation has been
definitely limited to the acquisition of
the land itself, as there are already
in existence other organizations, either
local or national. which can more
properly be concerned with the prob
lens of equipment and maintenance
programs.
Mr.. Harmon's interest in play land
extends over a considerable period of
years and il is an interesting fact that
the real estate subdivisions with
which he is concerned in a business
way are now making a practice of def
nitely and permanently setting aside
one-tenth of every separate tract for
recreation uses. During the past few
years he has been active in the play
ground movement and TO further this
work the Harmon Foundation was for
mally organized in 1922. His gifts of
play land. a community building and
endowments have already amounted 10
nearly a quarter Of a million.
The present proposal is made TO
towns and cities of more than 5000
population which have advanced in
growth at least thirty per cent since
1900. Not more than 5 $4,000 will be
