WEEK OF LITERARY

1t is also made quite clear to
casual observers that Molnar has
no lingering affection for some of
his reviewers. It is, of course,
quite consistent in drawing the
character of a naughty princess
worthy to be played even as de-
lightfully as Miss Crewes plays
her-aS being haunted with an
idea that dreadful newspaper
men" follow her about the world
for the sake of spying on her
elegant foibleS and possibly upon
her domeSticitieS. AS a matter of
fact, S2cPetS at court have seldom
been proclaimed by journalistic
print with anything like the in
duStry, or the effectual irritation,
attained by the books resulting
when a courtier himself decides to
turn chronicler. Even today some
of the whisper books" could not
have been published in any news

The further publication of polite
print receives renewed impetus as
Roland Robbins decides to turn his
exclusive attention to the publish
ing and printing business of which
he is president. His retirement
from relationships which he has
maintained on cordial terms with
the public for SO many years may
easily be construed as another
evidence of essential changes
which the American theater is
preparing to make in its method
Of organization, and it's processes
of distribution.
In preparing current attention
for dinner to be given in honor
of De Wolf Hopper the latter part
of this month, Bide Dudley, one
of the sages of the New York
theater, interviews "the big boy
comedian" in a vein which in
cludeS the following epigramS:
I'm 10, but age is nothing to
me. I still have the effervescence
of youth and have managed to
retain my bubbling laughter. In
cidentally, I'm going to keep them
until I am summoned to- that

auctions I cannot remember them

The man who can do what he
really wants to is rich whether he
has wealth of a material sort or
not. He is the Luckiest of Eel

actor marrieS an actress and they
can be together in their travels,
but there is danger in this, also.
Let the wife earn more money
than her husband, or be more in
the favor of the public, and she
will become unmanageable. Peo-

NATIONAI-"Simhan -

The names of Mr.. and Mrs Martin
johnson are not strangers to Washing
ton theatergoerS; nor is their wonder
ful picture "Simba," which made many
friends upon its showing here last
Spring, and so the management of the

"Simba" shows the many animals of
