COMEDY DRAMA IS
 WEEKS OFFERING
Poh Players Do We'll in "lhe
 Butter and Egg Man.
(By the Herald Reviewer)


 t Once again the innocent, pink checked country pumpkin, fresh from the small town. straying into New York to seek fame and fortune. like a sheep wandering into den of wolves, succeeds in outwitting the clever "city slickers" and out of an apparent fraud makes a fortune and at the same time turns the tables on those who would trim him. But of course, the aid of the charming heroine, attracted to him first be- cause of his wholesome innocence, Is essential This in brief. sums up this weeks stock company presen- tation by the Poli Players-"The Butter and Egg Man."
 The show, in three acts and four scenes. has to to with couple of would-be New York theatrical pro- ducers who induce young man from the country to sink his entire fortune in their show. They have the drama-and they didn't even own the rights on that, as anbse- quent events proved-and the young man. described by themselves as "a butter and egg man." puts up the money. The play is failure at first and the youth buys out their rights. takes in another partner and with the aid of a pretty girl who has befriended him, puts the thing across In the end, when the real author Is suing for royalties. the butter and egg man permits" the original producers to buy back their interest at a handsome figure and the show ends in the discomfort of the ''city slickers' who find them selves cleverly outwitted. It's light play. but is clean and entertaining and very we'll enacted.
 Edmund Scott Weeks has part especially well suited to his type. He is the arrogant. burly New York producer who seeks to put it over on the boy and Fanny Ray. as his wife, has clever "wise era cking" role which she fills most acceptaby. Robert Perry, as another crooked producer, plays up well to Weeks part and Miss Grant, as their clerk, and Vincent Coleman as the country boy, have the romantic leads. Lillian Shrewsbury. substituting for Miss O'Neal. proves temperamental leading lady in the supposed show and Adrienne Earle injects some poppy comedy in her small role. Others who do we'll in their respect i've parts are Helen Hines. Matthew Callahan. Cecil Benham. Louis Smith. and Jay Ray. Again especial mention must be made Of the char acter acting of Edmund Abbey. His role this week is entirely new for him. He appears as a more or less effeminate hotel clerk who is stage struck and anxious to invest his money in show. His part alone is good for many laughs.
 Next week the play will be The Last of Mrs. Cheyney."

FULLER STUDYING
 SACCO'S REVOLVER
Alleged Murder Weapon Scru- tiniZed With Firearms Experts

Boston, May 17.-lP-The Boston Herald today says it has learned from an unofficial but reliable source" that Gov. Fuller has con- ferred with two firearms experts who were witnesses at the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van- zetti, internationally known radicals convicted of murder whose pleas for exoneration he is now considering.
 The governor. the paper says, is planning firing test of Sacco's re- volver, the weapon from which the state contended the bullet was fired that killed Alessandro Berardelli in a payroll holdup in Braintree seven years ago. The Herald's informant said the governor decided on the test because of conflicting evidence as to whether or not the bullet which killed Berardelli was actually fired from Saccos gun.
 No intimation is forthcoming as to when the governor will announce his decision on the Sacco-VanZetti petition for a pardon or a full in- vestigation of their trial. The gov- crnor. who has been confined to his house for a week with an injured leg muscle, returned to his office yesterday, but spent only two hours there. Friends have been quoted as saying that he is devoting at least 14 hours a day to his study of the case and that his decision may not be made known before. the end of the week.
 Meanwhile. postal authorities. who have been endeavoring to trace the source of a package of dyna- mite recently discovered in the exe- cutive's mail. today turned their at- tentions to Plymouth, Eanzetti's home town, where a stick of dyna- mite was found last night in a wastebasket at the post office. A citizen opening his mail near the receptacle discovered the explosive, but efforts to locate the person who put 1t there were unavailing.
