LABOR NEUTRAL

Federation Decides Not to
Favor Candidate.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Amer
lean Federation of Labor will be
neutral in its treatment of candi-
dates in the presidential campaign,
it was decided today by the execu-
tive council of the federation.
The decision to be neutral was
reached after meetings of the coun-
Gil late yesterday and today, when
the members failed to indorse either
Governor Alfred E. Smith or Herbert
Hoover for the presidential nominal
ton.
The council earlier had heard a
report of its nonpartisan political
committee, Although neither can
didate had been Endorsed, many
members of the Hoover forces re-
garded the outcome as victory for
their candidate, as they had de-
feated an apparent effort to in
dorse Smith.

UNION CITY, Ind, Aug. T.
The following made" Page l
in a local newspaper:
For some time there has
been esveral couples who are
quite indiscreet, who have per-
sisted in breaking the locks
at the Catholic cemetery gates
and driving inside of the ceme-
terry at night and doing their
loving surrounded by tomb
stones and the croak of bull
frogs. So persistent have they
been, that they have even went
so far as to cut the wires loose
from the gates and the other
evening a well-known couple
was caught in the cemetery.
The girl tried to hide her
identity by throwing her coat
over her face, but one of the
men who was trying to break
up the practice removed the
mask and was surprised as to
her identity.
This is bad business and
had better be eliminated"

play
We are concerned with the career
of Norine O'Day (Edythe Elllott)
and Paul JearpuX Milton Byrom.
They are married and in the same
company. Paul is a good actor and
his wife is terrible. So when his
chance comes to go to New York,
she forces him to leave her While
she goes on transforming. In the
first act we see Norine and her
daughter. Paul did not know that
he had a daughter because his wife
refused to correspond with, him. He
makes a hit on the stage, retires
with pot of money and adopts
son. The son, played by ST Clair,
writes a play.
The leading woman Of the play
gets soused and Norine's daughter
is put into the role. Norine had
always kept a song that her hus-
band had composed and named
"Norine." This is put into the show
and the daughter makes a hit. The
first act is back stage of a New
York theater. Norine O'Day is
wardrobe mistress and her daughter
was in the chorus before she got her
chance.
The second and final act is placed
In Paul's bachelor apartment on
Fifth Ave. His adopted son falls in
love with Norine's daughter. Paul
objects, but when he hears her sing
''Norine," his memory Of his first
happiness comes back. Then his
wife walks into the apartment and
everybody is happy.
AS a story, the plot is mighty thin.
There is no reason except possible
temperament for Norine staying
away from her husband.
The prologue is placed in small
town Michigan hotel in 1908. This
gives Miss Elliott, Mildred Hastings,
Irene st. Clair chance to wear
some old-faShioned clothes.
st. Clair in the first act has not
spotted the 'Norine" song right. 1t
now sounds just as vaudeville Spe-
cialty would, having no connection
with the story. 1t should be the key
note to the plot.
AS this play now stands, it is not
a big city play. st. Clair has lost
nearly all of his definite types in the
first and second acts. His prologue
is good, but not strong enough to
make a play.
There were all kinds of bad d.
recting on the opening night. The
snow scenes were a farce instead of
being atmospheric. And the church
being next to the hotel was another
bad move. Both the storm and the

that the vaudeville stage has seen
here in the last two years is being
presented this week at the Lyric
under the very bad meaning title
of Garden of Roses"
The chief woman dancer is Rose
mary Dering and she can do SYM
phonic expression things with her
toes that would make some headline
women dancers become alarmed.
Miss Dering has grace that is not
only startling, but commanding in
its strength. She does her dancing
with Gerard FaWlers, if I have the
name correct. Here is a male dancer
that does not offend in his poses.
Splendid and honest in his work.
Miss Dering works out her various
dances in a routine that is new.
Tommy Tucker is the chap who
sings if am right on the name. He
is good, but rather uncomfortable
in his attitude. But he knows how
to do a song. There are a number
of girls who dance here and there.
Villa and Strigo have an instru-
mental act that develops the per-
sonality of the man. The man
saves the act with his intimate
handling of the orchestra. He
doesn't appear serious and that is
relief.
Waller and Kuban have hokum
burlesque offering. Only fair in
spots. Joe Fanton and company
live up to their title of Sensational
Seconds" These people do aston
ishing things.

attempted by Elizabeth Nelson and
Barry Boys. If were to name the
bad acts in vaudeville this one
would top the list. Jack and Sol
