NEW TRUCK STANDS :
 MOST SEVERE TEST

r. The new two-ton General Motors truck, powered with the Buick Master" Six Cylinder engine has again demonstrated its rugged stamina and splendid performance abfity by successfully withstand Ing the Underwriters" standard twelve-hour test as the motive power for a 50O-gallon capacity 'American-LaFrance fire pump, ac. cordiHg to adyices received by the C0nnorsf Motor Company.
 sThe tests imposed on the fire fighting aparatus by the National Board of Fire Underwriters are, undoubtedly, the most severe try outs imposed on motorized equip ment, because community safety is dependent to d large extent on the ability of its fire-fighting equipment to respond under all conditions and circumstances at an instant's notice.
 ! MT. Connor's said the engineers of the "Underwriters" organization must know definitely just how the engine will perform over long period of time-there can be no guessing. A stop to adjust the carburetor, change spark plug, or rskAe some minor repair i'm mediately disqualifies the engine under the rules of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
 Inasmuch as the Underwriters test Is conducted indoors, it places Y tremendous strain upon the cooling system of the unit.
 It was stated that at no time during the entire twelve hours of continuous operation was the Master 1" Six-Cylinder Buick ell zine cllled on to render it's maxi mum, power. It did not heat up or show the slightest sign of distress under the herculean task of driving the giant pump that delivered 500 gallons of water per minute at 8 pressure of 12O pounds per square inch during the first six hours of the test, 250 gallons per minute against pressure of e0Os pounds per square inchr lor | periOd of three hours. and 167 gallons of water per minute at a pressure of 250 pounds during the laat quarter of. the test.

In "Das Freudlose Gasse," George w.
Pabst, the famous German director,
has painted in uncompromising, black
colors the actual conditions which
existed in war stricken Vienna. Ably
assisted by large cast of renowned
continental artists, he has taken this
story by Hugo Bettauer and given it
the intense significance the picture de-
serves.
The actual story revolves about two
young girls both living in the same
house on Melchior Case in Vienna
and how the conditions affect each in
timately. Through their young lives,
caught in the confusion and frenzy of
these horrible conditions, we see the
lives of the other people on Melchior
Case. The director has drawn the
contrasts in a very vivid way and at
the end we see the suffering people
of Melchior Case rising in riots
against the war-rich and driving them
out of their haunts of vice.
The featured players are Greta
Carlo, who has since become ia
nous American star, Asia Nelson,
who was last seen in America as

The Moscow Stage


Outside of Meierhold, there is an
other important factor in the new
theatre of Soviet Russia-Alexande
Tairov. He too is pioneer. Tairov
once summed up his artistic credo
in the following statement: "The Art
Theatre tells the actor that he must
forget that he is on the stage; and
we tell him that he must remember
it during every moment of his per-
Torrance"
Based on this theory that the ac-
tor must first of all express himself,
the Kamerny Theatre attaches extra
ordinary Importance to the details of
costuming, posturing, and gesticula-
ton. 1t prides itself on the versa
tility of its actors, who can pass
from classical tragedies, such as Os-
car Wilde's "Salome" and Racine's
"Phedre," to the lightest form of
musical comedy with no apparent
effort.
The Moscow Art Theatre is still
the citadel of a classical drama in
Russia: and it is doubtful whether
any theatre can boast such group
of magnificent actors. Perhaps the
most serious problem confronting the
Art Theatre to-day is the difficulty
OF finding an adequate repertory.
Chekhov and Dostoevsky are out of
favor; the former because of the
hOurUa0ic yuaxyoriprc &c liz oL...a
ters and the latter because of his
mystical and religious tendencies.
Except for occasional performances
of Uncle Vanya," these two authors
have vanished from the Art Theatre
programmes. The classical comedies
of Gogol and Ostrovsky and Griboy-
edov's old-fashioned problem play,
*The Grief That Comes from
Thought" are faultlessly and bril-
liantly given, but do not by them
selves constitute an adequate roper
tory. And young playwrights with
works suitable for Art Theatre pro-
duction have not appeared on the
scene since the Revolution.
DuIlIS Tie last season more imam
half the evenings at the Art Theatre
were given over to the production of
days of the Turbins," by Mikhail
Bulgakov; and this play, together
with 'Lyubov Rarovaya," which was
played constantly before crowded
houses in the Maly Theatre, must
be considered one of the two popular
successes of the season. Both these
plays take their plots from incidents
in the Revolution but the authors
treat their themes from decidedly
different angles.
Tairov is also responsible for the
mounting of two of Eugene O'Neill's
plays at the Kamerney; "The Hairy
Ape" and "Desire Under the Elms.' .
The latter especially received high
praise, not only for the author but
for its director. The press was very
enthusiastic. Sagorsky in "The Pro-
gramme of the Academic Theatres"
said that, 'Desire Under the Elms"
can be counted as one of the best and
most interesting plays of the season."
while another reviewer added, 'the
seriousness of this piece, the moving
power of the problems treated by
O'Neill, the clear dramatic form, and
the great work of the Kamerney-all
this was duly greeted by the audi
ence."

HUGE AUTO TRAFFIC
TESTS NEW TUNNEL
Estimated Capacity Exceed
ed by 200 Cars an Hour.
VentiIating System Praised.
Ey The Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 14.-Traffic
that exceeded the estimated capacity
of the new Holland vehicular tunnel
between New York and New Jersey
by 200 cars an hour yesterday sub.
eiected the ventilating system Of the
tube to a test which proved it three
times as efficient as had been ex-
spected, officials said.
Between the time the tunnel was
pm. $4,000 vehicles passed under the
Hudson River between Manhattan and
Jersey City, Morris NJ. Rrolich, secre-
.tary of the New York Bridge and
Tunnel Commission. announced. At
such a rate $4,000 vehicles would pass
through the tunnel within "a hours, he
said.
The ventilating system was pro-
nounced perfect by Frolich, who said
that instead Of the expected four parts
of carbon monoXide to 10000 parts
of fresh air there had been. even dur.
ing the greatest rush, not more than
is parts poison gas to the measure
of fresh air. Most of the time only
1.3 parts of carbon monoxide were
present in 10000 parts of air, he said.
The tube is ventilated by 81 large
blowers. which circulate fresh air from
q channel under the floor of the tun.
mel and exhaust impure air through
an overhead passage. The air circu-
lates transverSely, so that there Is no
draft through the tube.

The full fury Of war will be turned
loose at an early date against a
modern concrete bridge across the
Peedee river between Albemarle
and Mount Gilead, N. G. Placed
bombs, air bombs and high explo-
sive shells will be used to destroy
the structure, completed in 1922 at
cost of approximately a quarter OF
million dollars.
The bridge will be submerged as a
result of the construction of a dam
across the river near Norwood by
the Carolina Power e Light Co. 1t
would be an obstruction to naviga-
ton if it remained and, in co-opera-
ton with the State authorities, the
War Department announced yester-
day that Army aircraft, engineers
and artillery would be used to de-
stroy two of the three 150-foot spans,
while the State Highway Commis-
sion would test the third span to the
breaking point by imposing tanks OF
water upon it until 1t collapsed.
The military tests have been devised
to furnish actual information on sew
eral points. Engineer Corps bombs
and other explosives will be placed to
test the explosive formulae for demoli-
ton Of REINFORCED concrete and also
to determine the best place for plac-
ing charges to destroy bridges OF this
type Field guns will be employed as
