President-'' Simon Called
Peter"

The President Theater last night
started its second weeks demonstra-
ZION Of the fact that there is q plen.
lkude of amusement seekers-just as
A1r. Barnum once said in other words
who are quite willing to supply
abundant currency to view a. typical
production which has no logical basis,
no moral, no fable, no lesson, no SUI
perior dramatic exhilarattonS In its
makeup.
Jules Eckert Goodman's dramatiza-
ton of Robert Keable's popular novel
OF malformed passion started its Sec
ond week.
The story is known by now. It is
simply that of the degradation of a
minister during war time. He gives
up the cloth for a woman. He makes
his "love''-forgive him for that word
greater than his God"
: 1.-THE production takes pleasure in IL
&ogical and anti-typical creation of
situations which must be a delight
for those who would hurl idealism
into oblivion and eXalt what is COM
monty termed the flesh" The min
lister is not a. type but an exception.
A. nurse. the woman, is not typica!
Of nurses but a woman far removed
from those pals of the wounded In
pack-lino hospitals.
The tragedy of it all is in terming
body-cravings and rapacious passion
love" and in making this sordtd
substitute for that elemental emo
ton which makes homes and nations
the instrument for unseating the
faith of an idealist.
Noel Tearle is cast as Peter Gra-
ham, the minister. His favorite pose
in front-Stage, gazing at a portion OF
atmosphere between the mezzanine
and the orchestra, while recfting bab-
blings in tense tones. June Webster
IS convincing as Madeline, q French
girl Of the Eon-acceptable sort, and
Peggy Coudray as Julie Gamelyn, the
nurse, is natural and spontaneous in
her delineations. John NJ. Kline ten
kers an excellent characterization Of
TAI. Langton, adviser Of the parson
IN the ways Of the world.
There are a few acceptable scenes.
The laughing death of a British SOL
der, who asks for his louise" and
refuses q minister of the church,
gives a bit Of food for thought. Some
of the lines are a bit clever, also, and
this buoys up the production, SO
that Its surface Is coated with bril-
iiantine substance somewhat similar
to that used OH those gaudy-gas-bal-
looms FOR children.
On the whole it might be said that
Simon Called Peter affords illimi-
table opportunity for analysisl Of one
of the vagaries of Americans-that
of cloaking goodness and parading
vice. 1t seems that men--like boys
are still ashamed of being good men

BALTIMORE. February 1S.-The
middle west will ship grain and iron
direct to Baltimore by an all-water
route when tho great lakeS-St. Law
renee waterway project is a reality,
declared Charles II. Jackson of the
Northern New York Development
League, speaking to the Foreign
Trade Club here Saturday.
He predicted that Canada and the
United States will join to build the
waterway and asserted that it could
be built in ten years at a cost of
$3.50, 100000. This cost, he said, would
build two canals, 4 channel in the St
Lawrence and a power plant of l.
100000 horsepower that would pay the
bill within fifty years by selling pow
err at two mills per kilowatt hour.
Mr.. Jackson said the railroads are
in favor OF the plan and that Presi-
dent Coolidge and a majority of the
cabinet and Congress, as well as a
majority in the Canadian government
approve 1t.

deep IS nOL a test for real and deep water

Flowing water veins were found be.
