HE stage today is needing
comedy mixed with thrills.
Many of the new Broadway
revues are strong on beauty but
Silent on comedy.
This week the Municipal Theater
lat Brookside Park is offering Carl
ton Guys new three,act comedy
drama mystery, called 1.-THE Green
Football or "Hokum."
Guy when he writes uses the name
of @ G. Mercer but Mercer and Carl
ton Guy are the same person.
Iknow this, that when more than
h thousand people sit for over two
hours in an open air theater with
lat least 500 standing there must be
something real in the entertainment
offered.
THE Green Football has talky

action, suspense and laughs in the
next two acts. At times too much
talk and not enough action retards

EVENTS IN CHINA
DO CONCERN US

Senator Borah is quite right in
saying that there is nothing in
the Chinese situation to justify
a departure from our traditional
policy" regarding China.
But 1t also must be remem-
bered that our traditional policy
regarding China has always been
the exact reverse of our traditional
policy regarding Europe.
Until 1918 it was our tradition
that what happened across the At
lantic did not concern us. Some
of our Senators are so tradition
minded that they think that is still
our policy.
But our tradition has always
been that what happened across
the Pacific did concern us acutely,

you cut age feeling short.
Youth will return If you'll just take

Pleasure is there and can easily

kids, take a fling at riding a horse

If an immigration permit were
granted to a person to come to
this country in July and he found
that he could not come until Sep
TENDER, would the permit still
hold good?
The person should write to the
immigration officer who granted the
permit and ask for an amendment
thereto, specifying the reasons for
such amendment. Should he fail to
do this he must come in July, or
his entry before or after this time
will be considered as not within the
time allowed him and may cause him
to be sent back.

five days strenuous attack. the
second wall of the city was battered

slow process of starving the inhabi-

levelled to the ground by Titus. The
