THE THING
DEMANDS YOUR
ATTENTION
By JIM RING

Over at the Belasco this week
may be seen a play for ladies and
gentlemen. and those who aspire
to be ladies and gentlemen. 1t
is Ferenc Molnar's The Plays
The Thing" starring Holbrook
Blinn. No conscientious Wash
ington theatergoer can call this
season complete without having
seen It.
THE Plays The Thing" is a
piece of Molnar's smartest,
smoothest writing. Sometimes it's
too smooth and little self.
conscious in the manner of OPEN
ing the first act and closing the
second.
It's about young composer
who is in love with blonde
prima donna. The prima donna
is indiscreet, her composer learns
of it and only the ingenuity of
a great old playwright. played
by Mr.. Blinn, brings them to-
gether for a happy ending. One
can but conjecture how long
their happiness as betrothed or
as married pair would last.
One thing that we have against
Mr.. Molnar is that he gives his
characters Hungarian names,
such as Sander Turai Chats
Blinn), and Johann Dwornitschek
Ralph Marin, God bless him)
and Iona Szabo Martha Lor-
ber). However, we add to our
stock of knowledge by learning
how these names are pro-
nounced. They are Chandler
Tooroy, Johann D'vornicheck and
Iona Szabo.
There's only one set in the
piece tand only one woman. 1t
is a most attractive set, depicting
a room in q castle on the Ital-
ian Riviera, overlooking the beach
villas and the blue sea.
The dialogue is brisk and witty,
especially the passages between
Messrs. Blinn and Marin. the
latter has the role of the but
ler--a competent soul, fun or
talk about his family, his work
and his philosophy. P. G. Wode-
house adapted the play for. the
American stage, and undoubtedly
must have delighted in tinkering
with the remarks of Dwornitschek,
the butler, because Dworny has
many of the amiable Characters
tics Of Mr.. Wodehouse's own
Jeeves.
when do you sleep, nwornit-
schek?" asks Sander Turai, at
a. m. in the old castle.

''No-no-no. thank YOU, my
dear Dwornitschek.

donna has had an affair, and GER

respects. this play ranks with
Molnar's best. And that is say.

to none among similar hospitals of
America, in point of equipment and
care. With the infirmary, Edgecliff
takes first rank as Mr.. Young's hobby.
Becoming secretary of the county
commissioners in 1919, he had still
more intimate contact with public
problems, and when he was elected to
the commissionership in 1925 he felt
that he had had long training for
the job.
Mr.. Young was born at Wadena, Min
nesota, a small town $50 miles from
Minneapolis, and had most of his edu-
cation there. At sixteen he went with
his father to New Brunswick, Canada,
where they spent four years, returning
later to the big city on the Mississippi,
where he had year at the University.
Three years after coming to Spokane
he married Miss Flo Nye, Spokane
girl. They have three children, Mary
Elizabeth. Flo, and young o. w. The
Youngs have always been very much
interested in Parent-Teacher work,
having been active in both the Adams
school and the Spokane council. This
same o. w. Jr. has to attend a good
many committee meetings, ETC., with
his mother A week or more ago, after
a rather lengthy session of a busy
committee planning large meeting,
the young man asked to be allowed to
go with his daddy. I'm just sick of
women!" he said sadly. Hes only
five years old, so he may get over
thatD
The PIT. A., the Spokane Athletic
club, and the Central Methodist
church make up the complete list of
Mr.. Young's affiliations. He likes to
get into a good game of jolly ball at
the club every few days. And after
he had given his complete" list, he
remembered the club that is more fun
than anything else. the "Squabblers,"
of which he is now president. 1t is all
that the name implies, group which
meets twice month for dinner and a
rousing session of heated debate. If
any man in the lot has taken a public
stand on any question the group is
likely to get up debate about it and
make him defend the side he has been
attacking!

commissioners, and his duties for
many years past have been directly in
lines which fitted him for the work he
is doing.
Mr.. Young came here in 1910 from
Minneapolis, where he had done some
Y. M. C. A. work in volunteer capac-
ity. Here he was for year or more
an assistant secretary of the "Y," 60
ing from that position to a place as
financial secretary of the social serv-
ice bureau. He was with that organi-
cation when the first fund was raised
to help establish a local tuberculosis
sanatorium, and has been interested in
that idea for many years. The legis-
lature soon after that time made it
possible for counties to build such in
situations, and Edgecliff is now second
