George S. Kaufman, dramatic
editor of the New York Times and
fashioner, in collaboration, of such
stage successes as 'Dulcy," "To the
Ladies" and Merton of the Movies" :"
registered his first solo hit in 1.-THE
Butter and Egg Man." which the Ma
tional Players will offer next week.
The central figure of the play is a
symbol of the moths who fly toward
BroadWay's flame in hundreds each
year, only to be singed and discour-
aged and, in most cases, beaten to
failure.
Money can accomplish almost any
thing. Among it's myriad achieve
ments is its ability TO "patronize" art.
without knowing the A b G. of what it
is. patronizing. There are men who,
for various reasons, finance show pro-
ductions, take their losses or their
winnings, and who never appear in
the foreground. These are commonly
known as angels" gentlemen of fat
pOcketbooks and jaded tastes who
seek the thrill of bright lights and
press notices that feed their pride.
There is another type Of show.

he wants and proceeds to get it

Her mistress was downstairs when
she had washed and dressed. and
Ellen stole into Henry Emerson's
room. To her great relief she found
him considerably better. He gave her
4 smile and his voice seemed a little
stronger when he spoke.
He told her that he already had

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

DUT Mrs. Brown sank on to a
Id chair and leaned her head
against the wall. She re-.
manned awhile in silence watching
him then she said. Il never could
make you out. sir. You are such a
strange mani! But there must be
great good in you"
At that moment there came a vio-
tent ringing Of the bell and a knock
ing al the front entrance.
Mrs. Brown started to her feet,
and pressed her hands against her
heart.
The policer" she said in a whis-
Bur Carter got up also and
stretched out his hand.
T. Wait! We must not make any
move without considerable thought"
The knocking and the ringing went
on for a space OF a minute or two,
but still they stood and made no
move. And then it ceased and strain
ing their ears they could hear voices
dying away in the distance.
"Not the police" said Carter with
a little laugh. "If 1t had been, they
wouldn't have gone away. I'm puz-
zled.' He sat down and passed his
nand YEARLY over his brow. You
heard what Gilbert said-that some-
one had been here tonight. Wen, he
was right, Mrs. Brown. There was
q young man here. I saw him
climb the wall just a few minutes be-
fore those two came in, and 1 should
say there has been some ugly work
done outside"
The woman sat down once more
and covered her face with her hands,
rocking herself to and fro. And
when she spoke, her voice was
broken.
