LONDON STAGE SUCCESS
BASED ON ROBINS STORY
Roland Pertwee's Cheat Wave" Is
,Dramatization of Plot Invented
by Friend.

LONDON (NAN.A).-Roland PERT
wees play, Heat Wave" which, with
Phyllis Neilsonterry and Herbert Mar
shall in the chief parts, has become an
established success at the st. James
Theater, is based on a story by Denise
Robins, the novelist.
Mrs. Robins is great friend OF the
PertWees, and when she was writing
this novel she happened to tell them the
plot. Mr.. Pertwee Immediately saw its
possibilities for the stage, and at once
suggested that he should dramatize 1t.
The result is a Workmanlike melodrama
of the Near East variety, which has
become one of the most popular pieces
of the pre-Christmas season.
Mrs. Robins Is a niece of the late
Charles Klein, Anglo-American drama
tist, drowned when the Lusitania went
down during the war. When she was
a child she lived with her uncle in
New York, and she can remember the
little dolls he used to use to represent
out a new play.
The ArdoSsan and Saltcoats Players,
a band of amateur Scottish actors who
won the British Drama League Cup
and subsequently toured in America,
are giving a season of plays at Sir Nigel
Playfair'S theater in Hammersmith.
Their program consists of "A Night
With Burns" a piece which enables
them to sing Scottish ballads very
charmingly, and Sir James Barrie's ia
nous one-act play, THE Old Lady
Shows Her Medals" Their acting has
been favorably compared with that Of
many professionals.

D. c.. Naval Reserve

has upon occasion authorized temporary
training duty with pay and mileage for
Reserve medical officers for the purpose
of recruiting this class of the Reserve.
This has been done only when the num-
ber of recruits was sufficient to warrant
the expense involved. The bureau is
willing to consider requests for such
duty If other arrangements involving no
expense cannot be made. This counts
against the districts training quota for
officers and the mileage against the
districts allotment under the Naval Re-
serve appropriation.
In localities where Naval Reserve
medical officers are located their serv-
ices should be made available to COM
manding officers of the Communications
Reserve for examining applicants. In
cities where divisions of the fleet Naval
Reserve are established arrangements
will be made by commandants so that
applicants desiring to enlist in this
Communications Reserve may be eX-
amined by fleet Naval Reserve medical
officers during the regular drill nights
of such divisions.
It was pointed out that few districts
have made little or no progress in re-
cruiting and organization of the Com
munications Reserve. The bureau be-
lieveS that successful expansion and or
ganization depends largely upon the in
tereSt and initiative of the communica-
tionS officers detailed to such duty and
desires the naval district commandantS
to make special efforts to select ofncerS
for this duty who are in position to
devote time and effort to this end.
In order to interest men who are ar
filiated with amateur radio activities 1t
is desirable, the bureau says, to detail
communications officers of similar al
filiationS to duty in charge OF sections
or units that will be made up princi-
pally of amateur personnel. CONNER
cial radio operators can be interested
more successful through these officers
employed by commercial communications
companies.
1t has been found desirable as an
initial step toward organization in any
given locality to establish first skele-
ton organization consisting of COM
municationS officer authorized to ad-
minister oaths for recruiting the Naval
Reserve and a Naval Reserve medical
officer. When this has been done re-
cruiting can then proceed without seri-
Gus difficulty.
Recommendations having been made
that all divisions of a battalion cruise
for training on the same type of YES
sci, the department says that 1t is the
prescribed naval policy to give cruises
to Reservists on vessels as nearly as
possible like those prescribed for mobi-
iization. Unless all divisions of bat
TALON are to mobilize on the same type
of vessel it will not be possible to cruise
them on the same type OF vessel with
out violating this policy. The policy,
the Bureau of Navigation says, is
thought to be sound. A change in the
war plans and reassignment of certain
vessels now is under consideration and
it is felt that it may be practicable in
many cases to assign all divisions of
battalion to the same type of vessel.
that this can be supplied to all bat
talionS.

Delaney to a standstill, was considered
good enough to stand Sharkey of and
make him eat his words. You all know
what happened. Jack tore in with a
vim from the opening round and did
not stop his attack until he had his
hated rival on the floor. Since then
Maloney has not been Of much account.
Got Under Jacks Skin.
Practically the same situation pre-
vailed when Sharkey was matched to
fight Loughran. The Philadelphia had
gotten under Jacks skin by disparaging
his work in the ring and otherwise be-
lifting the Boston man, so that Sharkey
could hardly wait until the bell sounded
and sent him on his way to battering
down hated rival.
Boosting has not helped Jack to make
good his threats. but ridicule has sue
ceeded where other tonics failed.
The writer is not willing to subscribe
to the opinion that Sharkey has enough
of this worlds goods to sit at ease. His
actions of late months have given this
impression, but a talk with Jack d1ssi-
pates the notion. Sharkey has 1t in
him to ascend to the heavyweight
throne and he wants to do that very
thing. Last February, after his sloppy

he has experienced change Of mind
since then. Now, with Loughran out
Of the way, Jack wants to go on and
offers to fight any one whom the Madi-
son Square Garden Corporation can get
for him at Miami next February.
Will Beat Foreigners.
There is a possible chance that
Sharkey. will be sent in with Max
Schmeling or Phil Scott. If such is
the case, Jack will not need to nurse
grudge. He will have all the incentive
to fight without stirring up bad feeling.
Pride will suffice in that instance. Jack,
as you know. is proud Of his honorable
discharge from the Navy and to this
day sports the anchor and chain, SYM
bolic Of the Navy men, on the blue
dressing gown he wears in the ring.
AS Sharkey says, Don't worry about
the worlds title leaving this country
when there is an American like me
around. I'll beat all the foreigners I'll
be called upon to fight

It seems to me that the amateur as
ISOLATION has one or two things to do
in regard to the amateur question.
Either it must ban the player from de-
irving any income whatsoever from the
game or go the other way and allow
the same concessions as the French as
ISOLATION.
TO enforce the amateur rule COM
pletely would eliminate many Of the
younger players. and it might mean
iull in the whole game. On the other
hand, to allow the players the same
as the French aSsocia-
ton permits would unquestionably
mean the lowering Of the bars in every
way and would probably bring on many
more controversies such as the tennis
fans saw at the time of the player
writer squabble.
All in all, it is bathing situation In
every way and one that will take lot
of rearranging before happy solution
is reached.

That leads me to believe that Big

The French Lawn Tennis Association
has never made any bones about Its at

ton. It has allowed the players to
write, sell sporting goods and make ten
mis- motion pictures, and apparently has
never felt the players were committing
acts of professionalism.
Under the amateur rule in the United
States and England these acts would
constitute professionalism in every

be banned from tournament play.

the United States Lawn Tennis ASSocia-
ton must take more liberal viewpoint
on amateurism, so the younger players
will have q chance to develop their
games.
It is an interesting line of thought
and one that would undoubtedly help
the younger players as they struggle to-
ward the top. But personally I don't
see how there can be any change In the
present amateur rule. The rule has
been written into the books of the as

of the amateur rule committee and 1t
Is likely to remain there for years.
AS have previously written, the ad-
vent Of open" tournaments may have
q bearing in changing the amateur rule
to some extent, but that is in the dis
tant future. The rule which has caused
so much trouble in amateur tennis the
last three years Is the player-writer
rule, put into force in 1924 after a con-
troverSy that for q time threatened to
shake the very foundations of the game.
Resents Writer Rule.
This states that q player cannot
write about q tournament he Is partici-
pating in until three days after the
event. It Is that rule which has hurt
Tilden, so far as his writing is con-
cerned, during the last few years, and
the one that believe he resents most.
Yet big Bill" was on the committee
which wrote the rule into the bylaws
of the association In 1924. He was a
member Of that committee along with
Grantland Rice, George Wharton Pep
per, Wallis Merrihew and officers Of the
national association. This was the rule
that caused the suspension Of the tall
