fourth and final act, an act which
provides as keen and gripping q cli-
max as may be seen on the stage for
many a day. II any doubts have been
previously entertained as to Miss Ar

Interpretation of the Maid, torn be-
tween the church and the fear of
death on the one hand and the insist

heaven on the other, Is a masterful
one. 1t Is a difficult and exacting bit
Of acting excellently done.
The epilogue and the moral that
1t contains were best left to the in
depreciation of the individual. Some,
doubtless knowing their Shaw. will
see in 1t an indictment of the church,
and the question Of whether one here
below may deal direct with his God
without the church. Others will see
in 1t an indictment Of human nature
in its present stage of development.

Gayety-'Hollywood Follies

The Gayety Theater this week
offers something little different
from the regular run of burlesque en-
tertainment in Joseph Hurtig's
Hollywood Follies." The whole
show is virtually built for Marty Col
Inns. the Wise Guy" Collins Is good
for laugh any time he appears, and
as he Is on the stage most Of the
show there is plenty of laughter. He
also doubles In brass, showing much
ability as a cornet player. AL Stern
and Jack Pillard are accessories in
the comedy work.
The bright spot in the feminine cast
Is JacQue Wilson, who presents q
striking figure In number OF bizarre
costumes. The one thing lacking in
the show is a good voice. Mae Ken
nedy and Maria oliver essay several
songs, but they are more CONVERSE
tional than musical.
Quite a bit Of comedy Is injected
into the performance by the playing
of the Hollywood Serenaders. a jazz
band recruited from members OF the
company. Others who have part in
the entertainment are Francis Cy-
meI, Jimmy Connors, Ray Wee, Fred

HISTORIC HARVARD
 HALL IS FOR SALE
Beck Dormitory Was Once Home
 Of Wealthy Glass

Boston, Feb. 13,-Beck Hall, liar wards most exclusive dormitory, the home of the Rooseveits, Nor gans. Astors and other notables dur ing their college careers in Cam bridge. is on the real estate market, Signs in front of the building an- nounce 1t is an ideal location for a hotel,
 Harvard authorities relegated the hall under the extension the univer- sity Is making on the property be- tween Massachusetts avenue and the Charles river. Beck Hall passes with many memories for Harvard men throughout the world. It was built purposely for the rich in 1876, when wealthy collegians had suites and valets to care for them.
 Room reservations for prospective collegians had to be filed as early as birth certificates. The present J. Pierpont Morgan lived in the hall for four years, leaving In 1899. Two years later his son, Junius Morgan, was born at 6 o'clock in the morn- ing. At 10 o'clock the same day a telegram was received at Beck Hall, engaging Mir. Morgan's rooms for his son, sixteen years in advance.
 Harvard has never owned Beck Hall. but group of graduates pur- chased 1t and held 1t for a time for the sake of old memories. It was first owned by Mrs. Anna l.. Moer- ing, who had pretentious home nearby. It was generally expected that she would leave 1t to Harvard. Her will gave title to the Massachu- setts Homeopathic hospital. It was in 1911 that Walter C. Baylies and other Harvard graduates purchased It, when it was rumored that the dormitory was in the market.
 Mir. Baylics had lived in suite 24. which was next to the rooms occu- pied . by Theodore Roosevelt. At present his twin sons, Walter F. and George U. Baylies, live in suite 2i. Their neighbors include Finley Peter Dunne, son of MT. Dooley," and Jerome Remicli.
 MT. Baylies passed title to the property to Samuel Lcbowitch on November IF.
 Thomas J. Daley, Harvard Square broker, who has been retained to dispose of the property, said today that if Beck Hall and the adjoining lawn is not purchased as hotel site the present owners plan to build an apartment house and stores. Work on the destruction of Beck Hall will start in June. =

GALS HOBBY HOSS'
 NOW IS EXPLAINED
Was Given Him for Exercises by
 Dwight Morrow

Washington, Feb. 13.--The mys- tery of President Coolidge's iron hobby horse, christened Thunderbolt by many persons. who do not know what the president really calls 1t, is now about to be cleared up. After the disclosure of It's existence in the White House, where tho president rides daily on the electric charger for exercise. the deepest mystery was the origin of the machine.
 It now appears. that m additional reason for the presidents abandon ing riding . real horse was because Of objections filed by secret service agents who look after hls safety. They regarded the exercise as dan gerous. The president. 1t is said, mentioned this fact to Dwight w. Morrow. New York banker. at 8 White House luncheon.
 Mfr. Morrow had long been ad- dicted to an electric pacer and described the machine to the presi- dent. It sounded good to the execu- tive. Mir. Morrow said he had two such steeds and would be pleased to send one to the White House if the president would permit.
 The president accepted the offer.
 The revelation of Thunderbolt's existence brought to light the fact that Representative Fred A. Brit ten, of Illinois. formerly an amateur boxer of distinction. also has an elec- tric horse at his home and uses it twice daily. Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon confessed that he had ridden the iron charger frequently on shipboard and thought 1t "a great thing" He did not know, however, that the president had one.
 Was For Maylower
 President Coolidge's unusual man. ner of exercising excited brief dis cussion on the floor of the house, when Representative E. B. Howard, Oklahoma, democrat, suggested that Mir. Coolidge lis riding this horse for the purpose of cutting down the oats bill at the White House stable.
 "1 should not be surprised to hear that the next great stroke of econ omy will be the placing of oars on the Mayfower," he continued.
