T%ERRITORY of the theater,
using the word both in an
artistic and a geographic
a sense, has been pretty
nearly divided between Florence
Ziegfeld and David Belasco. The
Stupendous things that BelaSco
used to do when 1.-THE Darling of
the Gods" was setting the pace
have cryStallized into literature
and their gorgeouSneSS of produc-
ton has become one of the bright
est "reminiscences of the play
house. Belasco promises to go
Beyond anything in his entire
career in his next production,
which requires rebuilding large
section Of the theater itself, and
will, Of course, not be available for
<oad purposes.
With BelaSco, the outstanding
figure of the drama, and Zieg-
field, the outStepping figure of
the musical spectacle, playmaking
tends to concentrate more and
more on New York City as the
one great audience. Plays go on
tour as often because the stage is
wanted for new experiments as
because a run has been fully ex-
hauSted. That the experiments
have not been especially produc-
tive Of good material has quick
ened rather than retarded an
eagerneSS to make them.

Sam Harrison, one of the veter-
ans of the theater and of a tai
ented family that included Alice
Harrison, the "Mikado's" first
American Yum Yum, and Louis
Harrison, a talented librettiSt, is
of the opinion that very large
cities will be selected for showing
very large productions, even on
the road. The impression is gain
ing that a spectacular presenta-
ton should be able to remain in
the same theater for at least two
weeks. AS a Ziegfeld business
manager, Mr.. Harrison has made
very close study of the field, and
numbers Washington as among
the cities that should now be
booking for two solid weeks when
the attraction is reliable. The
termination of an engagement
such as "Whoopee" with eight
performances leaves many persons
disappointed, because those who
bought early monopolized the
seats.
The joyous eagerneSs with
which this once Serenely states
inanlike village parades to the
box Office and avidly accepts two
seats in exchange for $11 is all the
proof that could be desired to
show that Washington, D. c., has
advanced to metropolitan ideas as
to box office prices. All people at
the present time are, to some ex-
tent, business people, and when
they see before their eyes an en-
tertainment capitalized on a Law
ish scale they do not hesitate to
admit that the money to pay for
it must come through the box Of
flee. The undoubted success of
'Rio Rita" during a second week
is another argument of a two
week policy for this city, which
will probably be under way before
another season.

NtA1AONAL- Inc DdCucAOE EdtHcIs
A Belasco production, always an
event of widespread interest in Wash
ington, is promised with Mr.. BelaSco's
presentation of his latest offering, 1.-THE
Bachelor Father" a comedy by Ed
ward Child's Carpenter, author of ''The
Cinderella Man" and other delightful
plays, at the National Theater tomor-
row night and for one week. Washing
ton will be the third city outside of
New York to see "The Bachelor Father,
which comes to the National following
its run Of an entire season at the BelaS-
co Theater, New York.
1T has the Belasco touch" When
that now celebrated expression is ap-
piled to a new play produced by the
master of the American theater, 1t is
an assurance that something Of extraor-
binary interest is forthcoming.
The identical original New York cast
intact will be seen here, and the same
scenic production that gave the play
great vogue in the metropolis. June
Walker, G. Aubrey Smith and Godfrey
Kerr are the featured players, each of
whom Is said to be fitted with a role
that has added to the list of successes
of their respective careers. The sup
porting company, selected by Mr.. Be-
laSco, Is one of distinction and includes
Adriana Dori, Rex O'Malley, David
Glassford, George Riddell, Viola Roache,
Harriet Lorraine, Philippe Bevans,
Doria Belli, Howard Bouton and
Thomas Reynolds.
June Walker, who has in the past
few years achieved conspicuous place
in the list of the prominent leading
women on the stage, has the role of a
pert, little switchboard operator from
America in the Carpenter play, and
according to metropolitan critics it is
easily one of the seasons leading
comedy portrayals.
Tony is an alert youngSter from
the States, gathered to the bosom of
the great Sir Basil Winterton, who has
received decorations for nearly every
thing except for being loyal and legal
male parent. She is one of a trio of the
offspring that comes to England to en-
joy the tardy hospitality of Rooksfcld
House. Upon her arrival she almost
Immediately becomes undiSputed ruler
of the roof. AirplaneS and handsome
young solicitors are hers, and she sue
ceeds in captivating Sir Basil, her err
rant father.
G. Aubrey Smith has been associated
with some of the most notable stars, IN
Guiding Mrs. Fiske, Ethel Barrymore,
Grace George, Billie Burke, Marie Doro,
Margaret Ellington, Sir John Hare, Sir
George Alexander, Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson and
Fred Terry, and Godfrey Kerr is one
of London's most prominent young ac-
tors.
This Is his first of a series Of Mr..
Carpenters plays which Mr.. Belasco
will produce.

You'd expectations, and the directors
have been highly gratified with the
generous expressions of appreciation
and encouragement from the patrons OF
the first play of the repertory, Kings

Though the announcement has read
that these plays were for children and
young people. the experience OF last
week was that the audiences were
equally divided between children, high

quality which delights the child thought,
whether young or old.

DIRECTORY OUT
improvements Make Book
Convenient.

The new midsummer Indianapolis
telephone directory, being delivered
by the Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany. has number of improved
features. The most obvious change
is improvement in the alphabetical
section which makes the separate
listings stand out more prominently.
The greatest change in style is in
the makeup of the classified sec
ton which is arranged in vertical
style instead of the former horizontal
style. The new arrangement is de-
signed to save time. No advertise
ment takes up more than two Of the
three columns and no ads separate
the listings; the continuity Of the
listings is unbroken.
With the issuance of the new
directory, all Main numbers are dis
continued. The dial offices, Lincoln
and Riley take the place Of the old
Main.

SMITH CLOSES
ARGUMENT With
KANSAS EDITOR
Announces RetiCenCe Policy
on Campaign Issues
and Tactics.
BY PERCY b. SCOTT
United Press STAFF Corresnondenl


ALBANY, N. Y, July 16.-Gov.
Alfred E. Smith is averse to long
distance alterations.
He made that plain today when
he declined to continue arguing
with william Allen White, Kansas
editor, who attacked The legislative
record of the Democratic nominee.
Furthermore, Smith announced a
policy of reticence on campaign
issues and tactics.
Informed that White had
answered his reply to the editors
charges, the Governor said he re-
garded as sufficient his denial of
Whites allegations.
MY position is clear" Governor
Smith said. GAS far as I am con-
cerned, that is all there is to it."
Those closest to Governor Smith
see at least two reasons for the
Governors aversion to indulgence in
controversy. One is that he feels
it is uniting for one in his posi-
ton. The other is his desire to let
the campaign organization function
in such exigencies.
Under the circumstances, Smith is
said to be looking to his supporters
to answer Whites counter reply, in
which the Kansas editor is reported
to have maintained that the New
York Governor had not refuted
specific charges, and called Smith,
the prophet of Tammany.
Smith has not yet given studious
consideration to his acceptance ad-
dress, according to close friends,
who say he has not yet begun its
draft.
Even its date is undetermined, al
though it has been decided to hold
the notification ceremony at Albany,
sometime after Hoover's notification
in Palo Alto, Cal.

ITALIANS INSIST
MALMGREN DUG
OWN ICE CRAVE
Companions Admit Leaving
Injured Scientist to
Die on FIoe.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF Correspondent


MOSCOW, July 16-Piece by
piece the story of how DR.. Finn
Malmgren was left alone on an ice
foe while his two companions,
Adalberto Mariana and Filippo
zappi, struck out on an expedition
for aid, became known today.
There was every belief, reports
here indicated, that Malmgren had
died June Is, as his companions
marched onward toward where
they believed land could be found.
Mariana and Zappi were rescued by
the ice breaker Krassin Friday.
One report that reached here to-
day was to the effect that Mariana
and Zappi decided to make their
walk to land about June is. Malm-
gren had urged them to continue
on this search, leaving him behind.
The noted arctic student had been
injured when the dirigible Italia
crashed and his injuries finally had
forced him to discoptinue his ex-
pedition for rescue.
OlBS ONH OEdFC III ACC
Malmgren knew death was near,
this report said. He dug a grave
for himself through the ice and
frozen ground. Than he demanded
that Mariana and zappi continue
their march.
Malmgren already had given the
men his compass so they would be
able to find their way.
The Italians walked slowly from
the spot where they had last talked
with Malmgren When they had
gone several hundred feet they
looked back and noticed the
Swedish explorer rise part way and
then fall back. They hurried back,
the dispatch said, and found Malm-
gren dead
Meanwhile direct reports here
from the steamer Krassin would in
dicate that Malmgren had been
abandoned while still he was alive.
Government advices indicated that
the two Italians, YEARLY cold and
facing what seemed inevitable death
had left the Swedish explorer alone,
while he was still alive.
Left Behind to Die
These reports said Mamlgren had
been injured, had attempted to walk
with his two italian comrades to
relief, had failed and then bid his
mates carry on-leaving him behind
to die. The two, after many pro-
tests, did start walking away, these
adviceS said.
Malmgren still was alive when
they left, according to the advices.
One explanation here of the varied
reports was that perhaps Mariana
and Zappi were reticent about ad-
mitting they had left Malmgrer
alive on the ice island-almost a
living death. There would be a nat
ural hesitancy about this, it was
pointed out, therefore the conflicting
reports of what actually happened
