HIGH POWERED
BURLESQUE
AT STRAND

High powered burlesque is on
tap at the Strand this week and
is being. put over with a bang
by Max Fields and his 'Kuddling
Kuties.'' Fields not only wrote
the book, lyrics and music of the
show, but as the comedian-in-
chief he is OIL top of it much of
the time. His style is easy and
il appears no trouble at all for
him to convulse his audience.

share Of the honors with their Of

Others in the company who are
deserving of mention include
Eddie Murphy. Henri Kellar, Eli
Lucas, Jack Baird and the Sut-
ton sisters.
The chorus ranks high in sing

incidentally this week marks the
beginning of Howard Burkhardt'.s
regime as house manager OF the
Strand and he is to be congratu-

Tine Sacred Flame" tells its
story within the confines or an
English drawing room. The epi.
gramatic Maughan of earlier plays
gives way to an author intent
upon a morbidly depressing tale,
worthy of Eugene O'Neill. but un-
folded with all of his accustomed
polished diction and sophisticated
dialogue. A little daring, some
what frank in sex discussion and
always sombre, it's mystery ele-
ment offers its most effective
appeal.
Slow in starting the play fall
ters and drags frequently in a
welter of words and it seemed to
me that Mr.. Maughan was so in
tent on impressing his lessons in
sex repressions, pathological re-
actions, and the degrees of love
that he delayed his final revela-
ton to the point Of irritation.
After guessing for the better part
of two acts the audience would
be saved precious 10 minutes
and the play tightened with an
earlier playing of the trump card.
AS to the story. Maurice
Tabret, an aviator, hopelessly
crippled in an accident, appears
condemned to martyrdom in an
invalid chair. His mother and a
severely professional nurse are
aware that Maurice's youthful
wife is having an affair with his
younger brother. Maurice dies
very suddenly. His death is
about to be attributed to natural
causes when Nurse Wayland
dramatically declares he has been
murdered. Who put the overdose
of sleeping tablets in his glass?
OF such is the mystery. For
the benefit of those yet to see
the play it is well that Mr..
Maugham's secret be kept.
Producer Gilbert Miller has
given his customary close atten.
ton to casting and direction and
Maugham's lines are given intel

EVANS HITS CHARGE
AGAINST XII KLUX
Denies "Whispering Cam
paign" Against Smith
Financed by G. O. P.

Charges that a whispering cam
paien" against Gov Smith is being
carried on by the KS KluX Klan with
money supplied by the Republican party
were denied emphatically in a state
ment by DR.. Hiram w. Evans, imperial
wizard of the Khan, made public today
For days" he said, certain propa-
ganda agencies have filled the news
papers of the United States with articles
charging that the Ku KluX Khan was
being financed by the Republican party
to make a whispering campaign against
Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The fact that
for years we have been maligned by
such agencies caused us to ignore these
statements. Now, however, since they
have been advanced by Gov. Smith, the
responsible head of the Democratic
party, we cannot longer remain silent.
Says Khan Supplies Own Funds.
1.-The Khan has never in its history
received one dollar for any purpose
whatsoever, that did not come from one
of the following sources: Cd From its
Klectoken or membership donation. (2)
From dues. 90 From Klans.
Neither the Republican party nor
the Democratic party neither any
individual or corporation has ever
directly or indirectly furnished single
dollar to the Khan for any purpose
whatsoever. The Khan seeks no political
preferment and has no political affilia-
tions
For years we have been fighting to
preserve Americanism against subver-
sion by un-American agencies and
ideas. Our fight against Gov Smith
is because he represents these agencies
and believes in these ideas.
His Reason for Fighting Smith.
Because of these facts the Khan has
for years been publicly fighting Mr.
Smith by the widest possible dissemina-
ton of the truth. We have shouted, not
whispered, and Gov Smith need not
now be surprised that millions of the
American people know that he is un-
fitted for the presidency
His statement that the Ku Klux
Klan is receiving money from any
source outside the Khan is unqualifiedly,
wholly false. His attempt to raise the
religious issue and to arouse hatred is
clearly the desperate expedient of a
man who knows he is beaten

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS
SPLIT ON PROHIBITION
Endorsement of Smiths Position on

William F. Donnelly, a candidate for
Congress from the first district de-

moved insertion in the plank of the fol-
lowing phrase:
1--WE particularly indorse the position
taken by Gov. Smith on public questions
in his speech Of acceptance"
The plank was adopted in committee,
but the action was reversed on demand
Of a group headed by William A. Com
stock, the party's candidate for COVER

The matter was then placed before
the convention as a whole Opponents

followed argued that no stand should
be taken on the liquor question itself,
but urged Endorsement of Gov. Smith
