Miss Ethel Barrymore appeared in
her new play. THE Kingdom Of
God" last evening at Parsons thea
sS 1~@ Il ,Vp11
with which she will open the new
Ethel barrymore theatcr In New
York which the Messrs. Shubert are
having constructed.
1.-The Kingdom Of God" is bio
graphical portrait in three episodes.
1t shows Miss Barrymore in the role
Of Sister Gracia as novice in the
order of St Vincent de Paul at a
home for aged men. later as sister
in refuge for unmarried mothers
and. last. as the aged directress of
a founding asylum.
Miss Barrymore's acting alone
saves the drama from becoming
wearisome. Even with her presence
it threatens to become monotonouS
but the beauty of the idea behind
the story helps to form bond be-
, tween the stage and the audience
which sustains interest.
Sister Gracia. child of marquis,
rcnounces the world at the age OF
10 TO devote her life to bringing
cheer into the lives Of others. Deaf
to maternal pleadings in the first
episode and the voice of love in the
second. she steadfastly guides her
course by the star of devotion TO
duty and the last episode reveals
her as a bent old woman whose lus-
trous soul alone keeps her from,
despair. Miss Barrymorc!s role is
very fascinating and she portrays
sweetness of spirit with distinction.
Standing out from the background
in character interpr. tations arc Har-
ry PIimmer. Ralph Roberts, William
Il. Mack, J;rncstine Gaines, Georgia

SEES HUGE SAVING !. 0F SEWERAGE FUND
Paonessa Predicts Simple Plan
 Will Offset Great Outlay

The city's storm water sewer mains instead of being in immedi- ate need of additions can be made to serve their purposes for many years to come. Mayor Paonessa de- clared this noon after a tour of in- spection made in company with City Engineer Philip A. Merriam.
 Mayor Paonessa plans to have a force of men put to work Monday morning to clean out the mouth of the system, near the Vibberts tract. after which more than 200 feet of the stream will be piped to prevent further filling in by debris and ref use from the dumping-grounds nearby. The present system is operating at about S5 per cent of capacity, the remainder of the pipe being clogged, the mayor reports.
 This cleaning and adding to the mains will save huge expenditures in ripping up streets and installing auxiliary mains, the mayor predict ed today.
