WASHINGTON. Oct. 1O.-CPl-
Herbert Hoover turned his attention
today TO the situation in New York
state. calling into conference
Charles d. Hilles. national commit
teeman, and Edmund Nachold, state
chairman. for a thorough-going sur
vey of conditions.
Aside from the drive for the 40
electoral votes Of the home state Of
his democratic opponent. Alfred +.
Smith, the republican presidential
candidate, is evincing a lively in
terest in the success of the state
ticket as we'll as the party candi-
dates for the state and house OF
representatives.
Writing a Boston Speech
Arriving in New York at s o'clock
on the morning Of October p, the
republican standard bearer will es-
tablish his headquarters at the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel. where he will de-
vote much OF the day to conferences
with New York leaders as well as
those from Connecticut and New
Jersey.
The nominee has not vet turned
his thoughts to the subject matter
Of the address he will deliver at
Madion Square Garden hat night,
as he is putting in all his spare
time on his Boston speech next
Monday night. In hat he will dis
cuss both foreign trade ard the
tariff.
Now that the campaign is swing
ing into the most intensive stage
and approaching the decisive period.
more and more OF the republican
candidates time is taken uD with
the direction Of the forces in the
field and in digesting reports which
come from various sections OF the
country. south as well IS east and
west.
May Speak in Northwest
While such leaders as Senator
Borah of Idaho have brought more
encouraging word about conditions
in the Northwest than were reach
ms headquarters only a compare
lively short time ago, there ;eems to
be the consensus among these lead
ers that much work remains to be
done in that section.
This is of the reasons why in
creasing demand is being made that
Hoover deliver a set speech in this
section while enroute to his home
at Stanford University to vote. But
almost equally insistent is the pres
sure for him to talk at st. Louis
and also to deliver one speech in
Texas.

I'd wager that you sign contracts

ure out what is or is not best for
you in them. What's the answer
The answer is to take a good agent
and to leave the business details OF
your profession up TO him or her
incidentally. the agents who are
"her" are just as good as men and
sometimes better.
You have a good deal Of cour-
age and a great deal of patience
as all true artists have. but these
qualities are used in your work and
that to such an extent that there
is not very much left over for reg
ular life. This is the true explana-

tire show abounds in humorous
lines and situations.
Solomon Levy. played by Leo

by John MeCabe. fathers Of the boy
and girl. were probably the out
standing actors in the presentation.
Their parts were played 10 perfec.
ton and they seemed to be able 10
draw the laughter of the audience as
though by magic.
Isaac Cohen and his buxom wife
played by Edward Pascal and Mil
dred Beverly, were also humorous
I characters that carried the audience
along on a a of laughter.
( This play which abounded in hu-
NOR also contained a strain OF pa
thos which at times brought tears
to the eyes of the audienc wehiie the
echo Of laughter still reverberated
through the playhouse.
The boy and girl whose marriage
furnished the theme for the story,
Abraham Levy and Rose Mary Mu--
phy, were excellently played by
Teddy Gibson and Jenny Wren.
In the course of the play, these
two young people are married three
successive times. first to please
themselves. second to please Abie's
father and third to please Rose
Mary's father.
The couple are married first by a
Methodist minister but keep this
fact a secret until after they have
been married by a Jewish rabbi. ia

Although they are at first disown-
ed BY their respective fathers. thew
are again united on Christmas cve
when Solomon Levy and Patrick
Murphy decide to bury the Ratchet
through love Of their children and
their infant grandchildren.
The play itself strikes a blow n
