Anne Nichols has decided not
to produce any more plays, other
than those written by herself,
according to her managers
statement in Equity Magazine.
In the last three years Miss
Nichols has produced "White
Collars" Tin the East, puppy
Love" "Howdy King" and "Sam
Abramovitch." None of them
made money, save "White Col
lars" which did moderate bust
ness. "Abramovitch" is in its
second week in New York,
despite>a concensus of reviewer
opinion that it left its beholders
bewildered.
Miss Nichols decision seems
sound, since the last play she
wrote is now in its fifth year
in New York.

BOGUS RENT BILL
PAST ASSEMBLY,;
SMITH WILL SIGN
Present Housing Law
To Stand Year More

ALBANY, March 23.--The Lipo-
wiche bill which incorporated the re-
concentrations of the state housing
board that the emergency rent law
be extended until June, 1928 passed
the assembly today. The measure
had previously been passed by the
senate.
At the time when the proposals
of the board were made public about
10 days ago, Gov. Smith expressed
much satisfaction with them, stating
that "these recommendations seem
fair and just to me-" The governor
will therefore undoubtedly sign the
bill, under which the clamp on the
landlords which has resulted in a
slight Improvement for the thousands
of tenants in New York will be con-
siderably lessened.
Old Law Better.
Under the original workings Of the
emergency rent laws landlords were
forbidden to raise the rent of apart
ments renting for $40 per room a
month or less.
II the recommendation Of the hous-
ing board are enacted into lava
thing which is almost certain-the
restrictions against landlords will APP
ply only to those apartments renting
for SIS q rom or less, instead of
$40 as at present.
Landlords have been greatly en-
couraged by this important conces-
sion, and promise TO wage q relent-
less fight to have the remaining de-
lenses Of the tenants wiped off the
statute books. Meanwhile pressure
is now working two ways on the New
York workers just below the point
where the emergency" laws begin to
junction. From below, families are
cramping themselves into smaller
quarters, if only to find slightly bet
ter homes, and deserving the worst
tenements. On the other hand, while
construction during the past four
years has been withou' parallel, it
has provided relief only to those FAM
lilies able to pay the higher rental.
Congestion Dangerous.
According to admissions contained
in the report of the governors com
mission, facts which they procured
from New York's health commission
err, DR.. Louis H. Harris, and hundreds
Of social workers, the congestion in
this city still creates "a condition
which is extremely dangerous from
the physical and moral point of
view" The report also revealed
frightful overcrowding in many parts
Of the city.
