WINDSOR R-ON-THE-THAMES, Apr. 15.-Almost the last journey away from Buckingham Palace made by Queen Mary, known as England's "housewifely' queen, before depart ing with the king for his Mediter- ranean cruise. was one-day visit to Windsor Castle to see that the spring cleaning had been started in proper order, so that everything would be spick and span for her re- turn toward the end of April.
 Incidentally, the queen brought with her to the castle, her summer home and one of the worlds most magnificent structures, number of labor saving devices which she had bought herself the day before at an ideal home exhibit in London. One of these was new kind of knife cleaner, the queen examining the ap- paratus and making several inquiries as to whether the dealer was certain that the polishing roller would not

Secretary Passes Up Gay
 Trappings Cowboy Days

WASHINGTON, D. O., Apr 15- secretary of Agriculture Jardine, who was a cowboy long before he became a cabinet member, is becoming a frequent visitor to the capitops bri- dle paths, but he rides a horse nam ed "Cal,' and has eliminated from his equippage any article suggestive of his rangeriding experience.
 A sleek thoroughbred Morgan horse and modern riding togs have dis placed the rugged COW pony and leather chaps of earlier days. Given his choice between an English rid ing saddle with the conventional short stirrups and typical stock saddle with high pommel and cantle and long stirrups, the secretary se- lected the former.
 The horse, Cal, was raised at the Department of Agriculture's farm at Middlebury, Vermont. His coat is dark chestnut and he has won sev- eral championship ribbons.

''Six Cylinder Love-
 Comes to Liberty

The unprecedented success of Wm. Anthony McGuire's stage play, Six Cylinder Love-" which played for 53 continuous weeks on Broadway, is one of the happy indications of the entertainment value of the William Fox screen version of this produc- tion which will make it's appearance at the Liberty Theater tonight.
 Another point strongly in it's ia vor is the fact that Ernest Truex re- creates on the screen the role in which he had such remarkable sue cess on the stage. Other members of the stage production who appear in the motion picture are Donald Meek, Ralph Sipperly and Berton Church ill. Florence Eldredge plays the in genue wife.

She watched the demonstration with interest, and even took hold of the handle herself for a moment, but she did not buy, much to the disappointment of the dealer
 Economy, however, is the watch word at Windsor as well as the roy al palace in London. Under the pres ent regime there is not encourage ment for wastefulness such as ob tained in the days of other rulers.
 One of the favorite stories among residents of Windsor concerns Queen Victoria and is known as "The cro- cuses and the sentinel" Soon after her ascension to the throne, Queen Victoria was delighted by the ap- pearance of the first crocuses of the season near the castle terraces. Fearing that the blooms might be destroyed by sparrows or other birds, the queen sent for soldier to pro- tect them.
 Queen Victoria never rescinded the order, and year after year sentry night. During the war when every available soldier was needed at the front it occurred to a castle official to look into the archives to learn why and when the sentinel had been stationed near the crocus bed, and this led to the disappearance of one of the sights of Windsor

but afraid he will. Eventually
she is tangled in her own lies
through the medium of the
sapphire ring and because M.
Lakatos probably consulted his
watchJand said: "This, then,
will bring it all to around IL
o'clock"
Krista thinks she's believed
though, through either the
magnanimity Of her husband
or because she seems so much
more desirable now. Anyway
it's like the standard poker
game-nobody wins.
***
The piece has sparkling mo-
ments and deadly dull ones.
During the first act l found the
dialogue so intermipable and
flat that l improved the action
to my own tastes, by inventing
mental trap doors from which
all sorts of people vaulted to
confuse the issues and knock
things about a bit.
The action spurts with the
advent of the lover and of his
discarded woman and from
thence on the play is smart
and scintillant.
The cast is uniformly good
with Helen Gahagan betraying
nice appreciation of this queer
and whimsical woman she's sup
posed to be. She is a wordy
individual, given to maxims and
volubility early in the play, and
later because half a dozen diff
ferent shades of character. It's
difficulty to index her. Ken
meth Mackenna plays we'll a
lush lover who later decorates
the scene as a repudiated one,
but debonair to the last and
a waist-bender of no mean
talents.
His exit from the ruin of his
dreams is easily the finest exit
the season has offered. And
the Lord knows this has been a
season of exits. Seldom have
the doors opened outward so
frequently in our theater as
they have since September re-
tired in favor of October and
succeeding months.
Frank Conroy will make the
role of the harried husband his
own particular dessert in a
short period of practice. He
has not been in the part long
and there is the particular de-
feet in his acting Of using his
hands and face altogether too
much. The role is unheroic-
something new to him-but /
should say Producer Choos could
not have made a finer choice.
Mildred Florence gives a
rousingly rare bit as the lady
tossed aside. A flambouyant
and seductive role whose very
lines carry it across and great
ly enhanced by this little lady.

The play is by David Gray and

which may have slipped out, the
audience did not roll into the
aisles in positive paroxyisms Of

That, my dears, is the i'm
preston of Budapest by one
who's never been there but who
has seen the last two years
product of the Hungarian
dramatist.
And now that this distaste-
full geography lesson is out OF
the way let's take up today's
assignment on Current Events.
What of "The Sapphire
Ring which introduces to
America the work of M. Lazlo
Lakatos?
M. Lakatos seems to be
aflame with determination to
make up in one gigantic sprint
his belated arrival in the free
for-all entries. Some people
will say he's the Paavo NurmI
of the Hungarian clan. In
deed, there were those at the
Belasco last night who found
him already abreast of his
fleet competitors, Molnar,
Vajda, the Capek boys, Dreg-
ley and others, quantitatively.
To be truthful he has here a
large mixture of cement but
he hasn't fluxed it SO well.
There are great Jumps that only
heavy hammering will subdue.
The inevitable triangle, of
course, treated, actually, in a
newer manner. Less stress Is
put on the triangle than on a
wife's maheuvering out of a
ticklish situation. l can't
quite decide whether the wife
is frightfully clever because
her husband seems so dumb or
vice versa.
Krista keeps a rendezvous
with Doctor Nemeth while her
husband pounds the cold pave
ment in another section of the
city. waiting for her. I'm
fortunately, or, as you will,
the tryst is uncompleted because
of the intrusion Of the good
doctors kept woman who re-
fuses to be kept, in this instance
out. Discretion, being no part
of the equipment of a femme
de mutt, comes her ambassador
a few minutes later with robust
plans for blackmailing the
doctor. A scuffle, overturned
lights and not a few odd
thumps in the dark and Krista
escapes into the night. This
sequence she confesses to her
husband because of his suspicion
of how she acquired the
scratches; and because of his
suspicion of everything else.
Then ensues a sort of glori-
fled Weber and Fields dialogue
between the pair. They alter
nate on the defensive. When
he believes her, he suspects he
doesn't and when he fears she
is lying, he half suspects the
truth. A game Of wits, but
not very keen ones. She, rather
proud of the escapade; he
wanting to prove her infideIity,
