known German actor and her
mother is an actress Of note in
Berlin.
Miss Reicher, likewise, has two
brothers, Frank Reicher, well
known on the American stage,
and Hans, equally prominent in
the same profession in Germany.
Miss Reicher was tutored, al
most from the cradle, by her
talented father, and she was a
clever actress at Is when she OBJ
tanned her first engagement with
Max Reinhardt in Berlin. She
was given the lead, too.
She came to America in 1909 to
be featured and starred by the
late Henry B. Harris in the
adapted Russian drama ION the
Eve" Later she took up pic

A PLAY ABOUT
NICE CROOKS,
NO LESS

When George M. Cohen was in
the heyday of his song writing.
fsshioning popular lyrics and
melodies for the trade, he turned
out a little ,ditty called, When
a Girl Is on the Level and a Eel
lows on the Square" Only to
the initiated, to the stone masons
and the carpenters, is the full
import Of the title known; for
these men have to do in their
daily lives with levels and squares.
There was a pun in the title,
naturally, and the arrangement
was considered quite clever. 1t
comes in the same class with the
title fashioned for his own play
by James P. Judge, author of
Square Crooks" which the Ma
tional Theater Players are pre-
senting, beginning Monday night,
April 20. Square crooks, in other
words, are crooks who are on the
level.
That many Of the most crooked
men in the world have good
streaks in them, and are swayed
by holy impulses many times in
the course of their careers is the
contention Of sociologists and even
OF criminologists. 1t was to bring
out this observation that Mr..
Judge built his play around two
reformed crooks, two boys who
are determined to go straight
after having lead a life of minor
depravity. They had offended
against the laws Of society. They
repented. In their march toward
the goal of perfection, they were
bounded by a detective who could
see no good in any man
Mr.. Judge had before him some
five or six hundred cases where
young men, trying to behave
themselves, were shunted back on
their former paths by foolhardy
police methods. There is, in
Square Crooks" lesson for all
who wish to see beneath the fab
ric of a comedy proclaimed one
Of the cleanest in recent years.
In order to prevent any idea Of
preachment, and to forestall max
ing of the stage a pulpit, Mr..
Judge, author of Square Crooks
CLOSED oyer his real tragic situa-
tions in the play and gave them
a touch of melodrama instead.

RESEARCH IS AID
. To BUSINESS
SUCCESS
BY MERRYLE s. RUKEYSER
(Copyright. 1899. by UnivsrsaI
Service, Ine.)


The natural conditions In the
physical world which contribute
to radio communication, telephony,
air travel and other wonders Of
the modern world were always
here. but it took applied research
to make them available for hu.
man service.
Research, long appreciated in
esoteric circles, is now applauded
at the market place. The stocks
for which the public pays the
geratest premiums are those OF
companies specializing in research,
such as the General Electric Com.
pany, the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, the
Union Carbon and Carbide Com.
pany, e. I. du Pont de Nemours
and Company, the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company,
International Telephone and Tele.
graph Company, the Radio Cor
poration of America and Allied
Chemical and Dye Corporation.
Such companies, recognizing
that flux is inevitable in human
affairs. do not attempt to buck
the factor of change, but seek
ing to anticipate 1t and profit
from 1t. AS A. N. Whitehead
says in his Science and the
Modern World" the great dis
covery of the nineteenth century
was the discovery of the method
of discovery. The first three de-
cades of the twentieth century
have applied this new method of
discovery to the everyday prob.
lens Of business. To a large ex.
tent, it lies behind the new pros.
perity.
DR.. L. D. Redman, director Of
research, of the Bakelite Corpora
tion, points out:
"TEis method Of discovery is as
welI.lxnOwn to research men rs
surveying is to the civil engineer.
The research man will not guar
antee that IL you proceed In q
certain way you will obtain the
results you had anticipated ut the
start, any more than q civil en-
gineer, who may have landed on
this continent shortly after
Columbus discovered it, would
have guaranteed that II you
walked 4 thousand miles inland
you would discover river or
lake. But he would have under
taken to survey the land and
tell you what he found"
Research is intended for the
solid business executive, who is
planning for the long-term future.
1t can have no real appeal to the
get-rich.quick operator"
