LeOna Powers Gathers
Red-Heads Together

Years ago, when Leona Powers,
the leading lady of the National
Theater Players, was slip of
girl, red heads and white horses
were the cause of much merri-
anent. Now. with the disappear
ance of the white horse. except
as a picture on some well-known
bottles, red hair has come to be a
badge of beauty rather than deriS-
sion. So Miss Powers feels that
she has 1t last come into her own.
AS president of the Leona Pow

formed last week, she has re-
ceived many letters asking for
the requirements of admission into

improbable that in the very near
future. when there is a little let
up in rehearsals. etc, there will
be banquet of the red heads,

CONAN FARCE
DEALS BLOW
TO HICK

The Big City with its fabulous
gins and pitfalls, isn't full of gold
6iggers and sharpers. Indeed, the
heart that thumps behind a hard.
boiled shirt may be just as pure
as that which does its palpitating
under the bright blue overalls OF
Eodunk's rising sons.
This is the great moral lesson
which George M. Conan, that
quaint old moralizer, teaches in
.s,rhe Home Towners," which is
speeding the National Theatar
players on to the end of a perfect
season.
"The Home Towners" is genu-
Inc, Observation-Disclosures Conan.
Anyone who saw the National
Players in THE Baby Cyclone"
earlier in the year knows what
that means. And for those who
don't know Mr.. Cohan's style,
here's q great chance to get
acquainted with him.
The farce moves smoothly
through the first act and part
of the second almost too smooth
ly-before the fighting begins.
Then 1t blows UP and bangs away
at ones risibilities for the rest
of the evening.
The plot is simple enough. A
man from South Bend comes to
New York to be best man at
the wedding Of an old friend and
former South Bender. The pros
pectiye best man has never seen
the bride or her family, but from
what the groom-elect tells him,
is certain that his old pal has
fallen foul OF a lot of city
sIickers. He attempts to con-
vince his old partner that it
would be far, far better to forego
this marriage than to marry q
family that wants him for his
money alone.
Naturally. the groom-elect gets
mad and slaps his friendly coun.
selor. That sets off the plays
powder magazine, because the ex-
Southbender will have no other
than his old pal stand up with
him at the altar, and he who got
slapped is resolved not to be
reconciled.
You'd better see this thing and
find how it comes out. Your
sense of values will undergo a
complete reversal, and you should
be able to see why New York and
South Bend don't hit it off so
well together, until they know
each other.
Charlie Hampden, with the fat.
test part that has fallen his way
for some time, supports the COM
edy on his broad and capable
shoulders. as the Wise Guy from
South Bend.
Leona Powers isn't required to
do much work, but what she
does is ably accomplished. How
ard Miller has a breezy super
salesman role which fits him like
a glove. Helen Wallace. teamed
with Hampden, plays with gusto.
John Holden, new face in the
company, was on briefly, but Jared
well.
Robert Brister is great as the
worried groom-to-be. Edward
Arnold. Adelaide Hibbard, Mary
Loane and the rest deserve credit
for their work In minor parts.

NEW YORK. June l5.-A1-
Charged with responsibility for the
bottle throwing that marked yester,,

Hornsby, manager Of the Braves, to-
day was ordered suspended for five
DAYS "for inexcusably bad conduct on
the bali field" The suspension was
announced by John A. Heydler,
president of the National league.
In the reports upon which the
league executive based his action
Hornsby was held accountable for
arousing fans at Braves field to n
point where they directed a barrage
Of pop bottles at Umpire Pfirman.
The disturbance occurred In the
fourth inning and followed the ban
ishment Of Hornsby from the game
by Pfirman for protesting the nm
pire's calling him out OF strikes.
Pfirman was unframed by the BON
bardment.
