The green ROOM" that almost ex.
tinct tradition of the theater,
without mention of which no biog-
raphy Of great actress or actor of
yesteryear could be written, is an ac-
tive institution of the Wardman Park
Theater.
When Harry Wardnlan built this
luxurious playhouse in the hotel atop
the hill his first specification was that
1t should contain a green room. No
expense was spared in the decoration
and furnishing of this gathering place
behind stage" and there, after each
opening Monday night, the actors of
the Thomas Herbert company hold
court with friends to discuss the new
production first, and after that
maybe. the prohibition question or
other current interests.

mellowed atmosphere of the real
stage is preserved amid the business.

story of a Snug ministerial refusal
to conduct the funeral ceremony for
an actor and the patronizing sugges-
ton that there was "a little church
around the corner" where the serv-
ices could be held, has been recalled
many times as the most distin-

NATIONAL PLAYERS-"The First
Year"

"The First Year." Frank Cravens
comedy of courtship, honeymoon and
rough shoals Of married life, will be
offered by the National Theater
PLAYERS this week, commencing to-
morrow night. Haywood Broun. the
then critic Of the New York Tribune.
called this piece the best comedy
of our generation--Is am not sure II
isn't the best comedy Of any gener-
alton" .e.,
The play shows in comedy style
the things that befall a young mar
ried couple who discover that matrl-
mony is not all moonlight and honey
suckle. In this respect their discov-
cries are so obvious and natural as
to give the succeeding situations
veristnilitude to actual and familiar
conditions. The play thus becomes
a pictorial record of experiences that
do happen to many youngsters who
team up in life partnerships.
The title is derived from the slangy
adage that the first year is the hard
est for newlyweds. So it turns out
in the Craven document, but 1t also
turns out that the first year can
blaze the trail to happiness and con-
tentment, as well.
"The First Year is distinctly
comedy, not argumentative. and it
IS not marred by chickering's and dish
throwing.
John Warner will have the Craven
role, Tommy Tucker: Leneta Lane
will do the outraged bride who fees
the honeymoon apartment for the
solacing comfort of mothers home.

The accused is charged with NAL

which is prohibited by the
state code The miners claim that
while Judge Lazelle was considering
in junction proceedings he and his

He has issued injunctions on peti-

without notice "enjoining and re-
straining legally elected peace Off.
GERS from discharging the duties OF
their office" He has also restrained
members of the State Department OF
Public Safety from carrying out their

The miners charge that he is tenn
peramentally unfit to administer the
duties of his high and important
office, and that because of violent
preludices members of the union can
not receive fair and impartial trial
in his court.

Many large cities have taken steps
to reduce infant mortality Meas
ures include the creation of ice and
milk funds. Thus poor families
will receive ice and milk during the
hot months at little or no cost. In
other cities the Associated Chari-
ties provide free ice. In Ohio
cities where this attention is not
available needy families should
communicate with their local ice
company.
"In every deserving case" de-
clares George c. Shepard, secre-
tary of the Ohio Association of Ice
Industries. "ice will be provided
free by members of our associa-
ton. We are determined to do our
full share in reducing infant NOR
tality in Ohio during the coming
summer"
The Ohio association has made
special study of how to protect the
baby's milk supply. as we'll as the
food supply of the household.

THE VOICE OF
GLADNESS

The pastor of a Trenton (Tenn. J
church has announced a special serv-
ice on natural love; blossoms of every
available variety and a number of bird
life paintings will be on display.
Such service ought to awaken in
the hearts of those present a strong
er love of God. When we get close to
Nature we get close to God. Dead,
indeed, must be the soul of him who
can wander through the painless
woods or gaze upon the everlasting
hills without realizing the majesty of
Him who made the woods and the
hills.
In the pulpit, in the school-room
and in the home, old and young
should be consistently reminded of
the beauty and the sweetness of Ma
ture. She is loving mother, tend
er nurse, a congenial companian.
God reveals himself to us in many
ways through Nature. Even in his
solitude the man who appreciates Ma
ture is never alone. He walks with
the Omnipotent and feels within him
self something of omnipotence.
We never walk through a stretch of
woodland or enjoy rustic scene that
those beautiful lines of Bryant's do
not come to us:
"To him who, in the love of Nature,
holds
Communion with her visible forms
she speaks
A various language. For his gayer
hours
She has voice of gladness, and a
smile,
And eloquence of beauty, and she
glides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And healing sympathy that steals
away
Their healing sympathy ere he is
aware"
The natural things are those made
by God. That which is shaped by the
hand of man is artificial. Men whose
duties hold them close to that which
is artificial would find comfort for
their souls and strength for their
bodies if they would steal away often
and commune with Nature.

Labor Produces Most
in Large Factories

New York-Labor produces more
in large, well-equipped factories, the
National Industrial Conference Board
finds. The board represents score
of employers associations.
The study showed that the average
value of the output per worker in
plants with an annual output above
81 100000 was 48 per cent greater
than in plants with an output below
that figure.
There were no figures to indicate
that workers employed in these large
plants receive higher wage because
of their greater production.

"And the little babies died in
large numbers. what with the hot
weather and the impurities of
food"
That is a sentence from a health
report back in the days when the
spectre of infant mortality annual
ly stalked the land. striking down
it's grim toll.
But infant mortality rates are
falling steadily. Mothers are be-
coming skilled in the proper feed
ing of babies. They know the
grave dangers of impure milk;
they know bacteria multiply quick
ly if milk is kept in warm tempera-
lures. 1t should never be placed
upon a window sill or in any other
improvised cooling place. Ice is
the greatest safeguard to the
health of the child as well as to
the entire household because it pro-
tects the food supply. The gospel
of the proper care of food is being
preached from coast to coast this
year.
