The s. S. Admiral Watson, Capt Sam Glass, of the P. s. s. Co.,, arrived in port last night at 12 o'clock from the south, discharged few passen- gers and a small tonnage, and left for the Westward three hours later. Tn all probability, the local office advises the steamer will return Saturday en route south The vessel will not lay over southbaund on this trip until the following Monday as the schedule calls for, owing to the press of busi ness prior to the opening of the tour tst season.
 The local gale hindered somewhat the berthing of the steamer alongside the dock and it was noted hoar frost freely covered all exposed parts of the vessel.
 The local list of reservations for the Westward included Otto Kraft, Au- gust Nyman, Oscar Wick and Ed Bent.
 The local and Westward listing from the south included:

Silly Play for Silly
People"

HATCHER HUGHES. author of
"Honeymooning on High" a
current weeks novelty, won his first
dramaturgic fame by writing the
much talked of Hell Bent fer
Heaven" That study Of Carolina life
won for him the Pulitzer prize for
''the best American play of its sea-
son" and gave the writer immediate
prominence in his new craft.
Then. as though to prove that Hell
Bent fer Heaven" were no mere flash
In the pan. Mr.. Hughes wrote Wake
Up. Jonathan" the comedy in which
Mrs. Fiske scored so agreeably, and
also 'Ruint." the stark little drama
produced by the Provincetown Play
ers.
Meantime, 1t may be noted that Mr..
Hughes Is the head Of the department
of dramatic literature and play writ
ing at the Columbia University, a post
in which he has achieved noteworthy
honors. He Is thus at once a prac-
titioner Of proved quality and an
analyst and critic of similarly fine
achievement.
"Honeymooning on High" has had
Its preliminary canter the past fort
night In Boston, where 1t was greeted
enthusiastically as a laugh-provoker
of high potential. Mr.. Hughes own
caption for the piece was "a silly
play for silly people," by which he
intended to indicate the mood in
which his auditors should greet the
play. 1t is meant solely to amuse.
There is, however, a substratum Of
irony in the action that lends g. GER
tain value beyond mere fun or foolery
1t is in the form Of an agreeable and
good-natured satire on those who
carry psychic experimentation beyond
reasonable point.

overindulge In psychic stuff"

Why Zane Grey is Liked

"DEOPLE ask why Zane Grey is so
popular" says John Waters. al.
rector of Paramount's MAN of the
Forest"
Having directed three Zane Grey
films, Born to the West 'Forlorn
River and now Man of the Forest I
think am in position to explain.
Briefly. it's because he knows what
he writes about. His works carry
truth and conviction. Grey knows his
characters, their ways and environ
rnent. His romances are the result Of
years of first-hand study.
After his youth in Ohio, where he
was noted as base bali player. Grey
went to Arizona with Col. G. J. (Buf-
falo) Jones, with whom he crossed the
Painted Desert in q Mormon caravan.
He lived at Kanab, Utah: hunted
mountain lions, chased wild horses and
had his first taste Of the wild country
about which he was destined to write.
"Grey's next venture was into south
ern New Mexico, Arizona and north
ern Sonora. Then half of the follow
ing 10 years We're devoted to Cuba.
Yukatan and Mexico, a cruise to q
lonely coral reef in the Caribbean Sea
and wild exploring journey down an
unknown river in the Sierra Caliente.
He spent one period along the Rio
Grande, meeting Texas rangers and
learning about their lives.
