When Park la Park

IL may be true that the New Yorker Is the only person who really finds any beauty in Central Park. To the visitor who comes fresh from the Spring glories of the real countryside the Park is but a poor w0rn-out play ground. with Stunted trees and too many children al play. But to the New Yorker there is something pretty fiue about the Park st most any sea- son of the year. Here he gets at least a glimpse of autumn foliage and 1t Is the one spot where he can see iH the winter season a stretch of clean, that Is. fairly clean and unblemished snow. In the summer t is breathing space for the thousands, and folk from the Battery to Harlem come Co hear the music of the summer concerts Tn the Mall. But in the Spring the Park really comes into it's own. Today the cherry trees up near the Museum are d mass of bloom. and all along beside the drives the tulips and jOnquils are making spots of color. Then in the late afternoon, in the soft light when the sun is just back of the Palisades, the lights in the Park come out and one forgets the stunted trees and the ragged paths and the Uttered roads, for at this hour in any season the Park is beauty and joy.

A Theatre Pride

And te the glories of Gloria New York has been interested this week in a new acquisition of which the city should be proud and is. This k the new playhouse of the Theatre Guild which was formally opened on Monday evening when President Coolidge touched a button in the White House which gave the signal for the curtain to rise on q gorgeous revival of Ber- uard shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra.
 The Theatre Guild IS New f0rk's prondest dramatic possession. II seems a very long time ago that little group of serious dramatic thinkers gathered together and called them selves the Washington Square Play CTS and began the production on A small scale of very interesting plays. Then the war came and the Players disbanded. only Co come together later as The Theatre Guild. which produced with not little daring grim but faithful drama entitled John Fergu- son" This play ran for year and brought much of the coin of the realm into the coffers of the produc- ing body Thus encouraged, the Guild began to make other productions. and for five years the most interesting and the best acted plays which the city has seen have come from the efforts Of these players and dramatists.

Another sure sign of the springtime is the closing of the opera season on Saturday night with a real old fash toned performance of good old IrO- yatoren There are those who are in- tllued to criticize the opera nowadays, who complain of the lack of singers Of tho iirat class and who miss certain glamour and brilliancy that existed in the days when CaruS0 vas king and

 seas1n hasn't been one to complain of tsa much. l. is true that Madame Jefitza may not have added te her lau= I rels Il e also true that there were n1 astounding and brilliant successes
