SOME FACTS ON
THE WINNER Of
A PRIZE PLAY
Cohn Writes of the KelIys
and of 'Craig's,
Wife, ~
By GENE COIN
NF4 SCrricc Writer

NEW YORK, May I'm thinkin
it's mighty happy Mary Kelly should
be being In her old age, what with
the honors piling up one upon an
other on her boys.
And George Kelly now having the
fin 81 900 prize for the best Ameri-
can play of 1925, and him the lad
that sat quiet as a mouse, II you
please, listening to every word when
company came and mimichng them
so when they left that everybody
rocked with glee.
And It's George that should not
have been waiting all this time for
the Pulitzer prize. If folk were to
get their Just deserts it's George
should have been having the medal
when he wrote THE Show OFF" and
not just now that they've taken a
fancy to "Craig's Wife"
For George had her blessing In
getting to New York. A weary time
it was going around to the offices
and them all shaking OF their heads.
One there was who gave him a
chance and soon 1t was that George
was mimicking all the world he met,
Just like home He began putting
these people on paper and no one
had ever done It before. So "The
Torch Bearers" was a great success
and THE Show or was "the great
American play" some were saying.
But don't be a'thinking that
George is the only Kelly.
There were ten of them, and three
girls died and two lived.
And when there were six Of them,
all living, their fathers pay was but
S12 a week. and you should be hear
ing Mrs Kelly tell Of the struggle,
Working she was from IN the
morning until midnight, what with
scrubbing and washing and mend
ing and cooking and all the rest
Not one OF the boys could go to
high school and one went to laying
bricks and one to this and one to
that, and George went to the iron
works.
And did you ask who the Kelly
boys are. we'd be telling you there is:
Walter Kelly, he who plays ''The
Virginia judge" in vaudeville; P. H.
Kelly, who built the 100000
library in Philadelphia; John B. KEEL
ly who built the tallest skyscraper
in Philadelphia, and Charles. whose
bricklaylng has grown into a great
building concern.

Both bills are OF sufficient inter
est and importance to keep this city
busy next week.
In considering the Walker pro
duction of Candida" at Keiths next
week it will be well to remember
that four of the players, Miss Wood.
Mr. Farley, Miss Patterson and
Richie Ling were in the orig
inal New York cast. Miss
Wood succeeded Katherine Cornell
in The Broadway cast when the lat
ter retired to go into The Green
Hat"
The remainder OF the cast will in
clude Elliott Cabot and John Storey
The four principal characters OF
Candida" are the Rev. James Ma
Yor Morell Christian Socialist
clergyman OF the Church of Eng
land; his wife. Candida; his typist,
Miss Proserpine Garnett, and Eu-
gene, the dreamer.
Shaw in his own idea OF the Rev.
Morell writes in the Brenteno edi-
ton Of plays: Pleasant and I'm
pleasant:
"The Rev. James Mavor Morell is
a Christian Socialist clergyman Of
the Church of England and an ac-
tive member Of the Guild of St
Matthew and the Christian Social
Union. A vigorous, genial popular
man OF forty, robust and good
looking, full Of energy, with pleas
amt, hearty. considerate manners
and a sound, unaffected voice, which
he uses with the clean, athletic ar
ticulation of a practiced orator, and
with a wide range and perfect com
mand of expression. lie is a first
rate clergyman, able to say what he
likes to whom he likes, to lecture
people without setting himself up
against them, to impose his author
ity on them without humillating
them, and to interfere in their bust
ness without impertinence."
Candida opens Monday night
at keith's for the week.
The final performance of white
Collars will be given Sunday night
at Keith's.

matte organization during the win
ter season.
The stock label is sufficient to
guarantee a definite standard Of pro
duction. The play was the thing at
English's this week, as Indianapolis
was curious to see this much dis
cussed war play Of strong language.
And it is a powerfully written We
hicle.
The opening week Of Walker at
Keith's demanded attention not so
much for the play, but Tor the play
ers and the production. The lead
ing feminine part Is being played
this week by the woman who created
the role in New York And the
presence Of Judith Lowry and Aid
rich Bowker, did much to stimulate
and increase interest. The entire
excellence OF the performance
caused business to advance.

ing of extradition papers, release on

THE reason some children don't
u eat their oatmeal without urg-
ing is that they're not given the
right kind.
There is great difference In the
flavor of oats. And flavor, above
all things, is needed to win a child's
appetite.
Quaker Oats has a unique favor;
a rich and toasty flavor you'll find
limo other brand. That is why mil
lions will accept no other kind.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
OF the bulk" of oats-which makes
