ration came up to me between acts
and asked me if didn't think that
if the dams" and the preceding
adjectiveS, if eliminated, would help
the play.
That guy is all wrong in his real
ism of the newspaper work and
what makes hot Should have a
different spelling) theater.
On leaving the theater and walk
ing with Henry BehrenS, we heard
a loud protest froma man and a
woman who yelled out loud that
there was no reason for ever writ
ing such play because the Ian
guage was so hot that it would make
his wife'S fur coat sound like cat.
Get yourself wise about 1.-THE
Front Page" as written by Ben
Hecht and Charles Macarthur.
These guys know their newspaper
gang, and they also know the doses
of melodrama and kick to give
play the kick.
It's strong language and all of
that mental sex fun that newspaper
men throw at themselves, but never
print.
This 'cFront Page" yarn is no in
dictment against the newspaper

racket or the guys who dish up the
dirt nor against those who read the
dirt"
In "Front Page" you will observe
a wisely and a marvellously con-
structed thing known as entertain
ment." 1t is loud, profane, honest
and dishonest; it screams from the
housetops in laughs and means the
laughs and the tragedy that sur
round the guy who turns out your
yarns on the sheet you read.
You will meet all kinds of "tarts''
mental and physical in this play.
You will hear languages and laughs
at and with life that will make you
want to read the ten command
mentS all over again.
So take off your mental red I'M
derwear and give it toss in the
furnace, not to get rid Of any lofty
love affair and the like, but to get
nip to a lot of fun and fact in 1.-THE
Front Page"
The last talk of the play will
probably put a lily on that fine
mental chest box that you own-but
you will love it whether you admit
it or not.
1t was SO d. fine that Volney
Fowler of my own sheet, told me

And I will get to the cast this
way. 1t is the best all rounded type
cast play that has visited Indian
apolis since have been telling you
about play. And that has been a
bunch of years, Maybe more than
a bunch.
Ffrst-Take the type work of Har-
Ian Briggs as Sheriff Hartman. That
little squirt of q political accident
who didn't have the "guts" to tell
the mayor of that great city on
the lakes to taste his own gravy.
Here is type work of the theater
that is a masterpiece. Probably one
of the truest type things I have
ever seen on the stage.
FirSt-The newspaper hero who
tells his managing editor to go to
that hot place where they don't
take newspaper subscriptions be-
cause the paper would burn up in
the hand of the subscriber. Am
telling you of the gorgeous work
of Roger Pryor as Hildy johnson.

would not fight against the naval

friend of the naval bill will seek
to delay vote on the treaty.
Each should stand on it's merits.
My idea is TO proceed with the
treaty the same as if no naval bill
was up for consideration"
Chairman Hale of the senate
naval affairs committee announced
he would press for action upon the
naval bill at the outset of the ses-
sion keeping it second to Boulder
dam on the senate calendar.

on Claims, Says Diplomat.

BY the Associated Press
Ambassador Telles expressed the
opinion yesterday that Ambassador
Morrow at Mexico City had done more
in the past six months toward cement
ing friendly relations between the
United States and Mexico than was
accomplished during the 10 years pre-
ceding his appointment"
Referring to the recently announced
agreement of Mexico and the United
States to submit to The Hauge Court
OF International Arbitration the Selec-
tion of a neutral umpire for Mexican
American claims commissions, AmbaS-
Ssdor Tellez said he believes the pres
ence of Mr.. Morrow in Mexico City will
be a potent f"ctnr in the ultimate
friendly settlement of American claims.
He said the failure of both govern
mentS 10 agree on the naming of a
third member for the general and
special claims commissions was due
largely to technical differences of
opinion and was not caused by q lack
of 8 mutual desire to effect a settle
ment.

Ambassador Telles said, 'Mr. Morrow
has established o working basis OF
friendship and sympathetic under
standing that is facilitating the So
