New York Letter

NEW YORK, Jan A-The theories
on why the current thcatcr season
has reached its lowest level for poor
business still pour in. The argument
advanced By M. J. Holmesdalo in the
World that the sitch-ee-ay-shun was
the result Of the terrible traffic in
New York has been snubbed by the
editor of one of the theater indus
try's better weekiies. The editor of
one of t.t.i.b.w's says that so long
as New York contains 80 or more
theaters with not enough good shows
to draw the particular playgoers SO
long will the losses pile up.
A DISASTER
Mr.. Philip Goodman's amazing
losses on his ill-fated Rainbow are
difficult to understand. Rainbow
contained, among other things, an
enchanting score and east Of re-
tables, gorgeous scenic effects and
a viriIe book. First-night hindrances
however, left a trying impression on
the premiere attenders, and although
the critics were almost unanimous in
approving the attraction, "the word
Of mouth advertising probably did
more to damage it. Business never
was good, and in less than a month
the production persisted.
ANECDoTE
As a boy, Kelley Allen, the critic,
used TO hang around the great and
near-Ereat of the Theater World.

600 people, except for the time it takes
to feed and tend the stock.
while the country annually produces
about 100000 bushels of wheat, be-
sides other cereals, quantities of stock,
wine, honey and silk cocoons, it is a
fact that our export of incandescent
light bulbs last year amounted to more
than the wheat export. That indicates
that we can go heavily into manufac-
turing industry if we can get the raw
materials and the capital for operation:
"Of water poWer-eXcept for small
mills-we have almost none, and we are
largely dependent on imported coal for
factory fuel.'
Plan to Take Up Slack.
"You see," Stephen continued, while
agriculture is our mainStay, and the
country is well supplied with railroad
facilities, we must plan to take up that
slack time of our people, enforced by
climatic conditions-and by our lack OF
manufacturing industries.
I'VE now manufacture three types of
automobiles, the Weiss Manfred, the
Mag and Raba trucks-with few auto
mobiles of the latter make. But these
automobiles are all high priced, costing
in United States money, from LOO to
$4,000. Only the more prosperous can
afford them. Besides, until we have
mere improved highways, the peasantry
will stick to horses and motor cycles
with SidecarS."

He is the older of two sonS-the only

very hard, Stephen said, at state mat
tiers, but, though 81 years of age, keeps

day.

SELLS YULE SEALS
FROM WHEEL CHAIR
Crippled Sailor Captains
Team at tuberculosis
Hospital.

"Smiling" Frank Phelps, just a sailor
lad who was taken to the tuberculosis
Hospital two and a half years ago a
helpless cripple with arthritiS of the legs
and an active infection of the lungs, has
added side line to his trade as news
boy as he wheels himself about the
wards of the institution every afternoon
selling the daily papers to fellow pa
tientS.
Frank has been made captain of the
mems ward for the hospital sale OF
Christmas seals. He sells the seals with
his papers and also takes the names OF
prospects given him by other patients
and has the seals mailed to them.
In his long siege at the big hospital
at Fourteenth and Upshur streets Frank
has made fine comeback. Although as
vet unable to walk, he looks well, Win
bright eyes and round cheeks. AS ne
pushes his wheel chair among the ped
ridden patients he has friendly WORD
of encouragement ana a smile LOT all
Hence his nickname.
His idea of selling newspapers came
to him about six months ago after ne
had improved so much that he was aoR
tn Use q. wheel chair Prior to that time
he kept his mind off his troubles by
making hand-woven belts.
That instruction was given 10 nlnl'
as to OtnerS at tne LOSplJdi, ny hAo'
Agnes H. Stewart, director Of the occu-
pational therapy department, and her
assistant, Miss Naomi McKenny. who
are employed for this service by the
TubercnAoSis Association, using por--
ton otHthe funds raised by the annual
sale of the Christmas seals.
That is one reason why Smiling
Frank and others are keenly interested
in booting the present seal sale: They
have organized the several wards into
rival teams, and where there are not
patients able to give active service the
nurses volunteered to serve as team
captains. Their goal is at least the
sale of $500 worth of the seals, and
nearly half that amount is already in
sight.
Yesterdays cash receipts at the
Christmas seals sale headquarters, In
the Social Service House, 1922 Eleventh
street, advanced the total Of seals sold
up to more than 100000 OF penny
life-savers. This means that In the
six business days remaining before
Christmas 100000 more seals must be
cashed at a cent each in order that the
minimum amount for the next years
bulge may be raised by the Tubercu-
1oSiS Association.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, December TT am here
just to work and to gain knowledge
by actual experience of industrial proc
esses which I hope to turn to good ac-
count for my country when return"
This is the explanation given me by
Stephen De Horthy, 25-year-old son
of Admiral Horthy, the regent of Hun
gary, for taking job in the Ford Motor
Co. here. Young Horthy, who was
graduated from the Royal Technical
College of the University of Budapest
last MAY, recently had modest mention
in the newspapers when it was an
nounced that he would work at the
Ford plant.
Mass Production Is Studied.
Young Horthy's 'job," as he explains
it, is years intensive study of
economics and methods of mass pro-
duction for which the Ford Motor
Company is famous. Behind this
purpose is the story of modern
Hungary. Reduced by the terms of peace
to a fraction of its former size, bereft
of sea outlet and industrial territory,
with two-thirds of its population idle
for nearly eight months of the year,
Hungarian leadtrs face an acute ma
to the question What to do? is Buck
up and GO to work at new industries.
That is why he is in Detroit-to learn
something of new industries"
The son of Admiral Horthy arrived in
New York, November IL. From May to
September he was in Uganda and the
Belgian Congo, hunting big game with
his uncle, Eugene Horthy. After snort
