Miss Eagels Finds
Appropriate Role

Last year, The Letter" an en-
crossing play from the pen OF w.
Somerset Vaughan. the distinguish
co English playwright and novelist.
appeared on Broadway where 1t en-
Joyed q successful run. At the time
IL was expected that Jeanne Eagels
who created the much discussed role
OF Sadie Thompson in Maugham's
sensational success. 'Rain", would
play the leading role OF Leslie Cros-
bic. 1t was generally conceded that
Leslie Crosbie offered Miss Eagels
m opportunity in character study
That would enable her to reach the
treat dramatic heights that marked
her portrayal Of Sadie Thompson.
Unfortunately. Miss Eagels was net
available at the time. and after the
first expression of disappointment,
the public. Enthusiastically enough.

generally conceded that the advent
OF Miss Eagels In talking pictures
marks O high water mark in this
new art which. step by step, Is en-
deavoring TO offer 20 the movie
public the highest type OF entertain
rnent with players who have dis
tinguished themselves on the legiti-
mate stage.
The Letter" tells the story OF q
woman, sensitive. selfish and TO

land OF oppressive heat: OF rubber;
OF Oriental night life. highly pitch

skilfully woven a story Of frustrated

FOR FRUIT FLY WAR
Hyde Says He Will Ask Congress
for Funds to Aid Florida
Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Hyde today said he would
ask the special session Of Congress to
appropriate $26,oo0,0O0 to continue the
campaign of eradicating the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly in Florida.
The Agricultural Department head
declared it would take that amount to
adequately broaden the inspection and
eradication measures to the extent ex-
perts declare necessary.
The present eradication measures
and the inspection and certification Of
fruit and vegetables grown in Florida
will be continued and intensified under
the new campaign and the border In
spection which guards against the ship
ment of fruits in bulk will be increased.
The action of Secretary Hyde follows
the lifting of the quarantine on beans
and the lessening Of the regulations on
other Florida grown produce.
Mr. Hyde said that none of the money
would be used for equipping packing
houses with sterilizing equipment as
that would be cared for by the Federal
Farm Board, which already has appro-
priated 100000 for that purpose.
