NATIONAI-"POllyanna."

A play title that resulted in uni
versal coinage of new word for the
American dictionary will be presented.
with it's Accomplishments, by the Ma
tional Players next week, commencing
June -. "'Pollyanna" is it's name, a
name synonymous with optimism and
the type of individual who is peren-
nially glad.
'Pollyanna" is themed on the as
sumption that we magnify trivialities
and that things are never quite so bad
as they seem. 1t Is far from stretch
ing point to say that the vast crop of
psyco-lecturers today are products of
the same school that produced this
successful play. There is scant diff.
ference between an entertaining thesis
which takes the happiest outlook and
the philosophical takers and writer's
who teach the technique Of being
happy.
"Pollyanna" is such a play as peg
o. My Heart" in the sense that it will
stand successful revival when all OF
the plays cotemporaneous with its
first production, have been forgotten.

Critic Also an Author.

THE most bromide weapon is the
ceaseless battle between critic and
producer is that which constantly tells
the critic he is critic, because and
only because he is unable to produce
anything. Intelligence, OF course,
laughs at the charge.
George S. Kaufman, dramatic editor
and critic OF the New York Times,
automatically refutes it. So do Paul
Wilstach, Marc Connolly, John Frs
kline, Brander Matthews and others.
Kaufman is author of THE Butter
and Egg Man" He is also in part or
wholly the author Of ITO the Ladies"
'Dulcy," Merton OF the Movies, !"
"How's the King" and 1.-THE Deep
Tangled Wildwood" These he has
worked on while managing the intri.
cacies of a Metropolitan dramatic de-
partment.
Mr.. Kaufman is OF the younger
group OF serip-comic commentators
who can poke FUN at certain Ameri-
canisms without becoming bitter about
1t. There isSa trenchant and a toler-
ant humor ii everything he does.

Engineers again are subject to the
most stimulating forces, and they are
likely to be in unusual demand
abroad.
The stars forecast the service of
many Americans in foreign countries,
where their abilities will receive due
appreciation.
Tomorrow should be a lucky day For
all who seek work Of any sort. Em.
ployment should be easy to find under
this planetary sway.
There is a sign of great promise for
those who bestow gifts tomorrow.

Education is subject te conditions

Under this direction OF the stars
women should be quiescent, delaying
all important plans, personal or civic.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of busy, happy year in
which many things favor them.
Children born on that day probably
will win great success by hard work.

BY THE coUNsELLoR.

The man that Mary Talbot would
marry had to have suficient income
TO maintain her in the style she de.
sired. When Henry Jacobs appeared
on the scene Mary believed that such
a suitor had arrived.
During brief period OF acquaint-
anceship, Henry treated Mary to a
round of lavish entertainment. The
way that Henry spent his money ap-
peared proof positive that he was
financially we'll fixed. This impression
was substantiated by Henry's own
statements regarding his position Of
employment and his salary. The brief
period of acquaintanceship was fol-
lowed by briefer period of betrothal,
eliminating in a marriage.
Then came Mary's disillusionment.
She learned that Henry had an ortii.
nary clerical position with far
smaller salary than he had claimed.
She found that Henry's asserted con.
nection with a wealthy out-of-town
family was purely a fiction of his
imagination. Her dreams of living in
style came tumbling to the ground.
Feeling that she had been duped,
Mary instituted suit for divorce,
claiming that her husband had used
fraudulent means to induce her to
enter into marriage with him. She
found, however, that she had no
ground for divorce, the court apply
ing in her case the following estab-
lished rule of law:
