was the first play to be awarded
the Pulitzer Prize.
Mr.. Walker has also announced
that the leads will be played by
George Gaul, Larry Fletcher, Marie
Adels, William Ingersoll, Aldrich
Bowker, Judith Lowry and Regina
Stanfiel.
Miss Adels is one Of the new lead
ing ladies with the Walker Players
this summer and has been seen in
many Broadway successes. She was
Walter Hampden's leading lady for
two seasons.
To the layman the title, why
Marry?" suggests a salacious drama.
1t is not. Neither is it an attempt
by the author to destroy the ideals
of marriage but is a clean, whole
some, effort to define this oldest of
mans customs. And there are
laughs galore from beginning to
end.

The most enjoyable dramatic
event of the season was THE Cradle

in line would be Diplomacy" then

to death and We got another black
eye for not supporting the best.
Other enjoyable events we're
Merry Wives of Windsor" Fred
Stone, Robert Mantell, What Every
Woman Knows" "She Stops to
Conquer" and Broadway"
The real novelty of the season
was 1.-The Spider" I thought that
Fly By-Night" would appeal only
to those who know intimately the
show business. 1 am informed that
this show is rated as flop in Chi
cago.
Of the revues, to my way of think
ing Earl Carroll Vanities is easily
the best, with George Whites Sean
dals in second position.
The two feature movies, wings"
and King of Kings" both came in
for much praise and enjoyment.
The most unsatisfactory offering Of
the season was "Oh Kay" and the

lish's, Murat, Keith's, Palace, Circle,
Indiana, Ohio, Apollo and the Little
Theatre Playhouse, but they deserve
praise for the extreme courteous
treatment accorded us who day after
day cover the theaters. An usher
or a doorman can do a whole lot
to put one in a bad temper A critic

can say with the greatest ease that
never in the history Of my work in
covering theaters have 1 had more
considerate treatment from theater
attaches than this season.

Club Play
Due Here
Monday
Castles in the Air to Be
Given at the
Murat,
and beauty amid pretty

YOUTH and beauty amid pretty
Il settings will be the keynote of
Castles in the Air. when it is
presented at the Murat, April 80,
by the Harlequin Club of Purdue
University.
Never before has Harlequin had
such a talented group of vivacious
youngsters assembled in one cast,
and never before has the board and
director expended such great care
to make its production complete in
every detail.
The musical co1Nedy itself, which
proved so popular in New York and
Chicago, Is particularly adapted to
production by college actors.
The action starts in the exclusive
"Twenty-One Club" which is spon-
Sored by Evelyn Devine, wealthy
young heriesS, one of the conditions
of membership being that the per-
son in question must not be over
the age of twenty-one. Enter the
Prince, just graduated from an
American college, and travelling in
cognito with Monty Blair one of
his college chums in very decrepit
and collegiate Ford. Evelyn, who is
determined to marry royalty, is
equally determined not to be adj
mired for her money, and changes
places with Anne, the cigaret girl,
and so the action gets under way.
AS a joke and purely by coinci-
dence, the Prince is introduced I'M
der his actual title by Monty, who
has known his companion for four
years only as John Brown.
Mr.. Rodman, Evelyn's guardian,
is willing to go TO any expense to
cure his ward of her taste for titles,
and being aware of the joke, offers
to rent castle for the supposedly
"phoney" Prince, to which the en-
tire company is to be invited.
There, it is Mr.. RodmanS inten-
ton to reveal the hoax to Evelyn
and thus permanently destroy her
foolish ambitions. The beautiful
romance between Prince Carol and
Evelyn that follows, and the fast,
sparkly comedy that is introduced
by the doings of Monty Blair and
Annie Moore, is better seen than
told, but the happy, though unex-
pected ending is forthcoming.

in the first performance, and
because it is one of the Broad
way successes with real stage
value.
Edythe Elliott, former leading
woman with the Berkell Players in
two previous seasons, is heading the
feminine side of the cast, while Mil
ton Byron, a favorite of several past
seasons, will appear in the leading
male roles.
Miss Elliott has appeared III sew
eral New York productions since
her engagement here in 1926-27.
Mr.. Byron has been doing cycle
Of Guest Star leads in a number of
stock companies in The southwest.
''Mary's Other Husband" is one
Of those comedies which keeps an
audience in a high tide of good
humor during its presentation, and
sends it away with little less de-
sire to miSrepreSent the conditions
surrounding the home.
It comes here Immediately upon
closing a successful run in New York,
where Earl Carroll produced it at
the Wallack Theater. 1t was writ
ten by the author of that other
Sure-fre hit, What Anne Brought
Home"
The story of the play concerns a
young wife whose pride in her hus-
band and in her home leads her to
exaggerate their financial status
when writing to the folks back
home. An uncle writes that he is
coming for visit, and young wife
concludes that in order to bear out
her statements she must do a little
figuring about a Encouragement of
things.
She borrows curtains, silver,
furniture, ETC., from generous
neighbors, dresses her husband in
buffers attire, and explains that
her husband is necessarily away on
a business trip.
The uncle, to increase the con-
fusion desires to remain until fond
husband returns, in which case it
is imperative to even borrow a hus-
band. A neighbours friend assumes
this role, but affairs are hopelessly
tangled when the uncle brings with
him the f1ancee of the borrowed
husband.
The untangling of such laugh sit
uations makes the entire show an
unusually funny piece. 1t will be
seen in the usual ten performances,
with matinees opening at 2:15. An
informal reception will be held on
the stage after the matinee during
the opening week.

Safety of Niagara
Bridge Is Brought Up

From the Buffalo Evening News.
The question raised by special In
vestigating committee of the Niagara
Falls (Ontario) Council as to the sta
bility OF the upper bridge at the Falls
ought not to go unanswered.
Your committee feels sure" says a
report to the municipal council, that
the pronounced Swaying OF the upper
bridge at certain times is established
as an absolute and indisputable fact.
We are of the opinion that this swaying
Is sufficiently pronounced to indicate
that the bridge lacks stability In lat
eral direction"
Engineers of the Canadian Board OF
Railway Commissioners some time ago
inspected the upper bridge, after COM
plaint, and reported that 1t was safe.
The council, OH recommendation OF the
Investigating committee, voted to call
on this board, with the Queen Victoria
Park Commission, the International
Railway Co. and representatives OF New
York State again to take up the matter.
1t would be expected that the owners OF
the bridge would indorSe this proposal
with the idea of resolving all doubts re-
garding the safety of the structure.
In any event, the question that Is raised
cannot we'll be ignored. 1t Is one OF
keen public interest, to say nothing OF
public welfare. There should be thor
ough investigation of the bridge by COM
pstent engineers of the Province OF
Ontario and the state of New York. II
not of the governments at Ottawa and
Washington.

At this the Judge shouted, What? Mos
uuitoes in New Jersey at this time OF

In the Summer at widely isolated points,
but you will have to give better ex-
PLANTATION than that, because there is no
such animal here in Winter" When
the defendant persisted in his story he
was fined ten dollars for contempt, but
was told that his fine would be re-
mitted II ne could produce the carcass
of one dead mosquito to the court.
Immediately following this episode
the postal authorities Of West Orange
congratulated themselves that their

happy now; the judge has proved his

probably not even be shaken by the

completely eradicated."
"The processes Of Standardization,
according to the Omaha World Herald,
"are reaching out far and fast, but they
haven't reached all of us yet. We have
come to think of ourselves as one peo-
pie, who eat the same breakfast food,
grin over the same comic strips, wear
the same collars and shoes. read the
same books and news dispatches, see
the same pictures, engage In the same
struggles and aspirations and think the
same secondhand thoughts.
But York, Pa, with its witches and
witchcraft and witch doctors and evil
spirits, gives us pause. Nor does this
community stand alone. There are
many others like it. The men,

great-grandfathers settled, and practi-
cally no one has come in to join their

Holds Travel by Auto
Cuts Railway Income

From the Chicas0 Daily Tribune.
Railroad revenue from passenger
traffic has been seriously cut by the
competition of the automobile. 1t will
not be many years before the compete
ton of air lines will be factor In the
railroads problem. How serious the
factor eventually will become is a mat
ter of guesswork, but 1t is not guess
work to suggest that 1t can be set
farther In the future II the railroads
will speed up passenger schedules
Is it not easily practicable to reduce
the rail time between Chicago and New
York from 20 hours to Is without dis
proportionate expense or hazard? The
Dl asent schedule involves the loss Of
half day each way. A l6-hour Sched-
ule would mean virtually no loss at all.
The time gained, therefore, by aeroplane
would not be an important factor In
choice of transport, and the advantages
OF comfort and safety would be on the
railroads side, at least for some years.
Doubtless this Is not a pressing con-
Germ of railroad policy at this early
stage of the development OF aviation
transport, but 1t is deserving Of more
consideration perhaps than 1t is get
ting. A general improvement in run
ming time of the chief trains would
strengthen the railroads position COM
petitively Our time standards are
higher than when most of the sched-
ules were adopted. 1t has been more
than quarter century since the fast
New York Chicago train service was
established. yet the time is longer
rather than shorter than that adopted
a generation ago.
