For those who have seen it, it can well be recommended again for the presentation loses little Of it's original flavor by the fact that a stock company is acting it. The work of the company is superb. Miss Marion Grant as sally" is alto gcther captivating and her singing is thoroughly pleasing.

 Deep currents of emotion, deli cately directed, sweep with ever steady force in the finest play Of its kind produced in many years on the American stage-''Y oung Woodley." presented at Parsons theater last night with Glenn Hunter and Mary Servoss in roles which grip the heart.
 "Ioung Woodley" is boy at tending an English boarding school. His is sensitive nature. struggling with the age old problem Of eX- istence and its purpose. In vain he tries to answer the unanswera ble. becoming articulate only when his soul finds expression in his love for the wife Of his housemaster His love finds response in the heart Of this lonesome woman, who has become stihed and oppressed by the atmos- pher" of dignity and aloofness which her position at the school forces on her.
 The play is as delicate as piece Of Dresden china and the audience last night paid tribute to the con- summate skill Of Mr. Hunter, Miss SerNoss and their associates by re- maining in breathlass absorption as they watched the fires of emotion rise strong in the hearts Of this WiSttUl lad and the woman who so eagerly shared his poetic sense ot the beautiful.

WATSON DEEMED
STILL FAVOR|NG
HALLER FOR JOB
U. S. District Attorney Mud
die May Cause Near Split
of Senators.
By Roscoe B. Fleming


WASHINGTON. March 1S.-Al-
though the Department Of Justice
denies having received any formal
recommendations from Senator Wat
son of Charles r. Halter of Hunting
ton to be United States district at
torney for Indiana, Watson's atti-
tude in favor of Halter is said to be
unchanged. He would succeed AL
bert Ward, the announcement of
whose resignation last week brought
statement from Watson's office
that he and Senator Robinson had
agreed on Halter.
Meanwhile, the impression is
strong that Robinson and his Indi-
ana political friends will not agree
to Halter. Under similar circum-
stances the senatorial delegations
from other States might split, but
it is probable the Indiana Senators
will work out their differences and
agree on a compromise candidate
later. The two Senator'S have agreed
on practically everything since the
beginning of Robinson senatorial
term, except the Senate refusal of
credentials to Frank R. Smith of
Illinois.
Unanimity of action on the ap-
pointment is especially desirable
