Community Players

One of the delightful events in our
community life was the entertainment
given by the Community Players for
their subscribing and active members
on Tuesday evening at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Akin, the first of
the pleasant evenings promised.
Mrs j. H. Koch, president, gave a
welcome to all Then the program
was opened by Miss Calm Hoke, who
gave informally little resume of the
beginnings of the Washington Square
Players of New York, of which she
was one of the originators, reminding
one in some of it's aspects of the Com
munity Players.
Mr.. Arthur Rooney gave little talk
on some of the plays of today, which
he recommended, telling a bit about
their humorous or serious qualities.
Mr.. Cortlandt Donaldson followed
with a brief recital of several songs,
accompanied at the piano by Miss
Eleanor Pennell.
After this the dramatic sketch was
presented, which had been coached by
Mrs. George Beckman in Palisade, and
whose cast in the one-act play Re
hearsal" included Miss Bodine, Miss
Griffin, Mrs. Valentine, Miss Bowman,
Miss Cunningham and Miss Kelmer
The play was humorous and we'll
acted, and the whole evening was very
much enjoyed by the representative
group of people who filled the large
parlor. Mrs. William Heaton, who ar
ranged the program, introduced the
participants, and Mrs. w. E. Sammis
explained about the tickets and seat
ing for the coming play to be given
on Thursday, November 20, in the High
School, which the, public will be able
to attend and which promises to be
most entertaining.
The tickets were in great demand at
the end of the evening, subscribing
members having first choice of seats,
but now the public can secure them
at 81 each, all reserved seats

A theatrical balm to "long-tripping"
Jerseyites is the latest announcement
from Marcus Loews that his Seventh
Avenue Theatre at 125th street has
changed it's policy from straight NOV
ing pictures to stock.
And in his usual thoroughness in
matters of this kind, Marcus Loew
has secured the finest stock actors in
the land, with Clara Joel and John
Litel taking the leads.
Only the best of Broadway plays
will be presented. Last week "The
Cat and the Canary" met with the
instant approval of thousands. upon
thousands of Broadwayites who Wis
tied this now famous playhouse on
Seventh avenue, corner of 125th
streets
'Just Married" is this weeks play.
Secrets" follows this funny farce,
and then "Tarnish" will be produced
for your approval.

minutes ride from the 125th street
ferry, and instead of the long trip
down town Marcus Loew has so ar
ranged matters that you can see your
current Broadway attraction at his
new theatre at less than one-fourth
the cost of the lower city prices.

Mackay Hits Out at
La Toilette Follies

Senator Mackay in his plea this
week for Coolidge-Dawes, Edge, Per-
kins and the rest of the Republican
ticket made caustic illusions to the
dangers of the La Toilette platform
and the perils involved in the La Fol-
lette movement against the main
tenance of the independence of the
courts.
"Of the s14,000,000 now raised by
New Jersey in railroad taxes" said
Senator Mackay, five and a half mil
lion dollars go to the public schools
of the state, seven millions are turn
ed into the state treasury. Under the
plan that Senator La Toilette would
put into operation the railroads would
be run by the government The taxes
could no longer be assessed against
the railroads and the state, would lose
the 81 100000 it now gets from the
railroads in taxes. The schools and
the municipalities would be big losers
1t is worth remembering these facts
and to ask ourselves how could that
big hole in our budget be made up un-
der the La Toilette plan? What
would take the place of the $4,000
900 that we now collect from the rail
roads under the private ownership
plan? What advantage can the pro-
posed government ownership plan of
fer us that would make up for that
loss of $14,000,000 in taxes? This is
something to be thought about. 1t is
we'll to DauSe and think twice before
we approve by our votes any plan
that would cut the states income
S140OO,000 at one clip"

Greenwich Village
Follies at Shubert
An Artistic Revue
Reviewed by Franklin Lamb


Except for a weak beginning and 2
rather weak finale John Murray An
derson's Greenwich Village Follies
playing at the Shubert Theatre ON
Forty-fourth street in New York City
is beyond criticism unless it be favor
able.
1t appealed to me as being different
from other productions of the same
nature because there is no obvious
sensual appeal and each scene has
apparently been planned to appeal to
the poetic and artistic side of human
nature save several short comedy of
ferings sfhat can be excused because
they are genuinely funny.
The scenic background while not
as lavish as some other revues is
tasteful varied and satisfying while
the costumes are very original and
we'll executed.
In my opinion the honors belong to
George Rasley, tenor, and Dorothy
Neville, soprano, whose singing had
an opera flavor and to Ludmilla and
Robert Alton, dancers, who gave
number of truly delightful exhibitions
of the terpsichorean art.
Vincent Lopez and his orchestra
got their share of we'll earned ap-
plause and Toto, the famous clown,
together with Moran and Mack, black
face comedians, provided many
laughs that helped to make the gen.
eral conclusion, very good and we'll
worth seeing"

Bows Wit Averts
Serious Fire Mon.

Last Monday morning the wit of
three young boys riding on trolley
car averted what might have been a
disastrous fire in the Catherine
Beauty Shop on Lawton avenue in
Grantwood.
The boys noticed red fare in the
shop and asked the motorman to stop
the car. They, together with several
other passengers, rushed to the estab-
lishment. The door being locked they
broke the glass in the door to gain
entrance and extinguished the blaze.
The confiagration was caused by the
melting of the rubber connection on
a gas curling iron which had been
left to heat while the proprietress of
the shop was in her apartment above.

popular ambassador the United
