The FLOOD

Probably good many persons if asked suddenly
what happened after the flood would start talking
about Noah's sending out dove something of the
sort. That is, persons in the North and the East
might reply In the states of Arkansas Mississippi
and Louisiana, different answer would be made.
Secretary Hoover has returned the flooded areas
in those states to inspect present conditions. He has
found "the morale of the people is good and they the
working hard Detailed dispatches from that region
give tragic picture of the situation. One such dis
patch reports:
Perhaps one-half of the vast area that went un-
der water bankrupt, with no crops worth the name;
more than 10000 people still depending on the Red
Cross for food and clothing; many thousands more
than that ekng out miserable existence, just living
in hand-tomouth fashion, something like $4,000 of the

Blue AND GRAY

It it to be regretted that the national head of the

gray veterans of S6165 unite hereafter for their
nual encampments
The leader of the veteran Boys in Blue" bases
his opposition to the fact that the veterans ranks
thinning rapidly. eve will stick together to the end,
and it is not far off," Commander Walsh is quoted.
Opposition to the joint encampment is particular
ly regrettable, nasmuch the suggestion from
an Ex-Confederate who says that for him the war
ended at AppomattoX and that thousands of his COM
rades believe joint encampment could be held with
the utmost good-feeling.
1t is sxty-two years since AppomattoX. Plenty
of time for the bitterness that existed then be wiped
out. Descendants of the Blue and Gray have no
difficulty in marching together when the United Span
ish War Veterans parade, in seeing the sights of
Paris together at the present time. One of the 'in
door sports for the army and navy in 19171S for
defendants of the Blue and Gray" each other
about the respective merits of Grant and Lee without
engendering hard-feeling either side.
Where time has brought wholesome respect for
the sincerity displayed both sides sixty-two years
it ought to be possible for the veterans to get

Blanche Ring s Story.

BLANCHE RING, featured in the
~ special company organized by Sam
H. Harris to appear this season, in the
leading cities of the East. in Cradle
Snatchers," is unquestionably one of
the most popular condolences before
the American public.
Like the Barrymores, Miss Ring
comes of good old stage stock. Her
great eat-grandfather Charles Fish
err came from England to this coun-
try to introduce the caravan idea of
entertainment. and in pursuit of that
purpose toured as far West as the
then distant Mississippi with band
of Venturesome players.
His son carried on after his fathers
death, and in the next generation Miss
Rings grandfather, James H. Ring,
was for 80 years principal comedian of
the Boston Museum stock company,
an organization of honored memory,
noted in it's day for its talented
players.
The wife of James Ring had made
her stage debut as an infant in arms,
and in mature years often appeared
with her husband in ShakeSpearean
roles, incidentally contributing songs
and dances between acts, as was the
custom of the day.
Oddly enough, none of the children
of that couple felt the call of the
stage, and it was not until the grand
child, Blanche, graduated from the
Girls Latin School in Boston that the
acting urge of the Ring family once
more asserted itself.
1t was on the stage of the same the
alter in Boston where her grandpar-
ents had won important histrionic lau-

He learned, the director declares,
that purple will not reproduce well;
that blues become greenish. and that

NATIONAL-"CradIe snatchers."


Cradle Snatchers" comes TO the
National this week, beginning tomor-
row night.
This is the farce comedy, the joint
work of Russell Medcraft and Norma
Mitchell, which opened at the Music
Box Theater, New York, Summer be-
fore last, and remained in that play
house for go consecutive weeks to
audiences that taxed the theater' s
capacity, making a record run for
farce comedy.
Cradle Snatchers" concerns three
middle-aged wives who hire three col.
legiate youths to be their squires and
pseudo lovers that they may play
tit-for-tat with their philandering
middle-aged husbands. Out of this
situation the farce runs it's exuberant
course. eliminating in a wild party
in which the wives and the youths,
the husbands and their f1apper com.
panions confront each other.
Out of it all comes the question
whether the three matrons in the
roaring forties daily with the three
adOlescent cake eaters" or whether
it is the other way around. The au.
thor's treatment of the story gives
answer to the question.

The advent of lie Mares Affairs"
removes the last shadow of suspicion
as to Chicago's ability to attain the
last word in stage effects. For long
time there was little sense of short
coming in many Chicago endeavors.
The costumes did not always seem to
be close enough to the latest ideas
of Partisan models, and lack of con-
fident abandon was dimly sensed. All
such impression is finally obliterated
by lie Mares Affairs" spectacular
achievement which ranks beyond
anything else of its kind. 1t is an
American revue, which utilizes every
resource of stage gorgeousness. The
announcer is not as droll as Balieff;
the pictures are not as droll or as
poetic as those of the "Chauve
Souris." 1t is still vital and stimu-
lating example of what the Russian
entertainers would probably have
done had Moscow been Chicago.
