THE. DRAMA ON BROADWAY
By Percy Hammond.

Soldiers and Women" is a good show,
a mediocre play and one of the shrewd-
est second-raters of the new year.
COME of the taeater's long heads have
~ been declaring of late that the
drama, in order to save its soul, must
sequester itself in closets far from
Broadway and the general public. They
say that its preservation from the
cinema and kindred sciences depends
upon its withdrawal from the arena and
its retreat into aloof and monastic
inches. Ill-equipped to battle with the
Hollywood hordes, it has been biting the
dust recently, and the air Is blue with
portents booming it to the potter's field.
It's most prominent artists have
turned argonaut and are scurrying to
the California gold country-greedy
'29ers, as it were. Its audiences ls~se
deserted to Balaban and Kate anc It's
mercenary authors persist in wrS-.g
with both eyes on the camera. The
going is too rough for an art so delicate
as the drama, and hence the auguries
that it soon will HE itself into the
privacy of the Little Theater, forgetting
Broadway and by Broadway forgot.
There it can be ITSELF living arts simple
life, undisturbed by the degrading inf1u-
ences of vulgar patrons. Pulitzer prizes
and the traffic of the films.

mitages Is that about to be opened here

Plans Glider Erection.
Everett Meeks writes In to say that
he intends to construct q northern
German training glider during the Win"
ter season.
His letter follows:
This Winter I intend to start the
construction of a German training
glider. The plans for this plane were
published in a magazine recently and
that is where got my idea. My grand
father is going to assist me In the build
ing of the plane. which has q S6-foot
wing spread and is about Is feet in
length. These gliders fly very slowly
at about 20 miles per hour. making
them very safe to ride in. They weigh in
the vicinity of ITS pounds. which ac-
counts for their slow sinking speed.
1.-THE pilot sits on a little seat out IN
the open. as there is no built-up, COW
cred fuselage. There is just a triangle
lar bracing straight up and down from
the wings.
"A top view of the glider shows just
one straight spar, which hides all Of
the others. No long nails or screws are
used as the joints are fitted together
with glue and braced with wood"
Everett hopes to have his glider COM
pleted by the beginning Of next Sum-
mer.
