 And then it was over; finished but not forgotten.
 Before an audience which packed the first floor. to the doors, and well nigh filled the balconies, ,-the Jefferson play ers' first night production of Avery Hopwood's famous comedy, 1.-The Alarm Clock" won round after round of app plause until the dusty old rafters of the back stage seemed. fairly to ring with the song of histriorie triumph.
 The production Monday night mark ed the formal opening off run of plays which will continue here through spring and into the summer. Such Broadway successes as .yThel Demi Virgin" ",ihe Gold Ilikeer 2, Little Old New York z FThe Crooked Square" Captain Alps plejaek" and others will be presented for 0ne-week runs before the end of the season here.
 ; And of all the presentations kept in store for the latter part of the season, few will come up to, and none prob ably will surpass the superb produc- tion of 'sThe Alarm Clock" From the initial curtain to the final sentence, the play was packed with witticisms, jokes and clever puns until ribs Ached, and tears flowed at the golden stream of merriment. Withal, there were mo- ments when the dramatic strength of the play arose above the common placeness of witty phrases, and it was only through the delft acting and the skillful interpretation of Hidden values of the play that the real force of the underlying, and yet ever-bubbling spirit of mirth was presented with an i'm pressive force to the audience.
 'The Alarm Clock has little, or no plot. Briefly, it is the story of the bodily transportation of mother, q daughter and fiance from the back woods of Cams Corner to New York, and the spiritual change of those three (csntlnusd on Page I've. csIamA Thrssl

ELEVEN ARE LOST IN , SHIPWRECKS;
 LINER ON REEFS
Captain And 3 Men Perish Off Hatteras-8 Die
 In Thames

NEW YORK, March 24.--(By. As sociated Press. )-Captain Nelson and two officers of the Atlantic Fruit liner Glyndon, which sank GO miles off Cape Hatteras Saturday morning, were drowned and the remaining 24 mem- bers of the crew were saved by the steamer Cananova, the company learned today.
 NORFOLK, Va, March 24.-First fntimation of the sinking of the Allan tic liner Glyndon, received here was conveyed in wireless message from one of the survivors to relative in Brooklyn. The message, signed Mar tin," was addressed to Mrs. Anderson, 529 Eighty-first Street, Brooklyn" and was as follows: V9f
 Don't worry, saved; Glyndon lost. "
 Sinking of the Glyndon, it Is believed here, may prove the solution to rnyste- rious distress calls picked up late Sat urday night at the Hampton Roads naval communication station from an unidentified steamer off the coast ap- parently in a sinking condition.
 New York reports state that the sink ing occurred at noon Saturday. It was pointed out here that the original message from the Cananova may have specified ''12 o'clock Saturday," (mid- night), and that the moon" Saturday may have been given in transmission. In that event it is regarded as more than likely that mysterious sos were sounded by the Glyndon's wireless op. erator in an effort to summon aid to the sinking ship, The SOS sounded on a continuous low wave length such as used by emergency equipment and for radio broadcasting programs, ceased .syllAenly shortl afteE n sseleck Sat. urday nipAt
