'PORGY" is
BOOKED HERE

''Porgy," one of the outstanding
successes of the New York Theatre
Guild comes to English for three
nights. starting Thursday, Dec. 5.
Dramatized by Du Bose and
Dorothy Hayward from Mr.. Hey
wa 40 novel of the same name, and
first produced by the Theatre Guild
more than two years ago, "Porgy"
has established itself in unique
position among the folk plays of the
American theater.
It has played three separate en-
gagementS in New York, totaling a
run of over year, it CAPTURED Lon
don when it played for eleven weeks
last summer. and it has established
records seldom eoualled by a folk
play in many of this country'S larg-
est centerS.
"PorTv" is all sense, and sound,
and motion, amazingly fresh and
vigorous of action 1t IS full, too, of
color and throtb'ng with curiouSly
insiStent rhythm that gets somehow
into ones pulses. Unhackneyed
spirituals are sung as they are hearo
in the south.
But the heart of the play, the cir
cumstances that make it a docu
ment as well as drama, are found

"CPORTY WIDOWS" surely is a
~ title to conjure with as it is
full of meaning in the sense that it
suggests the character of burlesque,
and after all that is the main thing.
This show is far from being a
stranger, but it comes to the Mutual
next Sunday afternoon on its initial
tour of the Mutual circuit.
1t is in the stimulating laugh cpl
sOdeS that Sporty Widows" has won
a way to fame, and it still lays claim
to supremacy as a fast going fun
vehicle.
1t is said that the ether features
are red hot contenders for similar
high honors.
According to reports the singing
and dancing numbers have been
voted into the list of modern fresh
ness.
To make the atmosphere CORE
spondingly attractive, some of the
most fantastic color schemes for the
scenic and costume inveStiture were
utilized
The two most important farces
are "Roat Scene" and Oriental
Scene" The cast may be judged by
Vic Plant, the leading comic; FlosSie
De We're, star soubrette. and such
other burleSque favorites as Bob

James Clayton, Buster LIE Roy, Vir-
ginia Dare and Irene Santley and
many other favorites.

have received an interesting
statement corcerninq a unique two
hour THANKSGIVING afternoon broad
cast of a number Of the greatest
orchestras in this country and
Europe.
AS this is so important and SO
UNIQUE in its conception, l give you
the following statement as sent to
this department:
Deems Taylor. composer of 1.-THE
Kings Henchman," now working on his
second opera. has lately surrendered to
what he cells the Inevitable and is lead
ing his critical skill and his humor to
the making of radio announcements and
program comments. realizing that radio
is here to stay and it is up to critics and
musicians to make the most of it,"
His next undertaking on the air will be
the announcing. with comment and ex-
p'anation, of a two-hour broadcast on
Thanksgiving day, which is to go on The
air over forty-one Independent radio
stations by means of an electrical
transcription device.
Actually during those two hours. Taylor
will be digesting his Thanksgiving turkey
in the music room of the Colonial farm
house on his abandoned farm fourteen
miles from Stamford. Conn. which his
friends have named "Taylor's Folly"
There on Thanksgiving. he will hear
his own voice from any one of a dozen
nearby station, while gently app.auding
his own witt.cisms and being spotted by
friends gathered from the artistic agri-
cultorS of that corner of the Nutmeg
state. who are the proud owners of old
houses, tired acres. lovely views, antique
furniture. hooked rugs and. in most cases,
healthy MORTGAGES.
The most interesting thing about this
two-hour broadcast" said Taylor. putting
his feet carelessly on an early American
butterfly table in curly maple and light
ing pipe with an early American aroma"
is the fact that it gives the radio listener
chance to compare performances.
There are six military bands on tn,
program, from England. Ireland, Scotland,
Germany France. and Joohn Philip SouSas
from the States. 1t would be just as easy
to put half a dozen of the greatest or
chestraS of the world-don't ask me which
they are-on the same program. and 1
doubt not it will be done. Thus the
musical devotee. not to speak of the i'm
poverished critic. can hear and compare
at his ease. without spending time and
money on travel. can form an opinion
of their relative merits and defend it
with that tenacity SO characteristic OF

fessional. To hear them play IN the flesh
would take several weeks of travel over
the Continent and the states.
The time elapsing between hearings
would be so long that impressions would
have faded. Through this electrical
gadget that makes it possible to get them
all on the air, anywhere, at any time,
once they are transcribed onto permanent
plates. it will be possible to back up argu-
ments as to whether Toscannini or Sto-
kowski or who you will is the greatest
conductor of the music of certain COM
poser-say of the great Deems Taylor.
Anything that aids argument is 8 boon
to the music-minded.
This broadcast will be independent of
transatlantic weather conditions. I I'M
derstand that great progress is being
made in short-wave transmission and re-
broadcasting, but I don't think I am get
ting out of my privileged field when I
say that Experimentation broadcasting
is still about as dependent upon atmos-
pheric conditions as 1t a transatlantic
airplane hop.
Important American performances
from stations distant from here are often
scrambled by static. Even if q terrific
storm should make broadcasting impossi-
BILE over most of the country on Thanks
giving, they would be able to broadcast
later without the hugh expense of bring
ing bands. orchestras, ensembles and
choruses togethep again in ten countries.
This electrical program can be broad
cast at any time by any station equipped
with the device to put it on the air. To
my nontechnical mind that seems a great
advantage provided the plates faithfully
reproduce the performance.
TN the future a great orchestra OF
operate performance or an important
public ceremony can be recorded on the
spot and preserved for posterity. What
wouldn't we give for a permanent radio
record, for instance, of the Gettysburg
speech as delivered by President Lincoln?"

it is mystifying. Appearing with Mr.

Georgia Templeton, the girl with the
X-ray mind, and Elsa j. Brown, the

revealing their inexplicable mental
powers, are highly talented must

come and gone. They came to Ketchikan, but escorted and guarded by government officials and members of commercial clubs, only the select could meet them. Whether they desired to meet tn people of Alaska, I do not know, but such is the fact.
 They spent not more than three weeks in the Territory travelling constantly, attending Chamber of Commerce ban uuets, where you better believe no fishermen or working alen were present or invited, all While in the tow and under survei'- ance Of Government Officials. They travelled on a government boat for a considerable time, ate there slept there, lived there. The Blu c.. us fed them, dressed ad uncrcssed them, and put them to red.
 It is unavoidable of course, that even 9 congressman could go thrcugh so much to do with out acquiring an opinion about Alaska. Does anyone for 8 mo- ment q. ubt that it W ;. to assist in forming this opinic,l that the bureaus took them in tow, and led them around like the blind? It usually happens that juketing officials who come here and spend a few days can settle off, hand out of the depths of re- gently asquired wisdom, ques- tions that have perplexed Alas kans of 30 years residence. And this was no exception. Listen to Congressman Dickinson, speak ing in Seattle, of course:
 Before we went north we of ten heard that bureaus were handicapping development of Alaska. Whenever you find a man running down bureau con- trol, you will find man who is wanting to do something the Government won't let him do.".

 "The congressman added that he found governmental regula- tions were designed to aid the Territory rather than retard de- velopnlent
 We wondered if this trip, free board, lodging, adulation and whispering by the bureaus would return no dividends, and Wiaeth- CT they, the bureaus, would get their moneys worth, when we ran across the following in the same paper Congressman Sum- mers of the State Of Washington, where they can discharge the President Of the University but not the football coach, speaking:
 'The regulations adopted for fishing promise to put the sal mon production back on stable basis, while the schedules for cutting wood pulp are designed to establish that industry on permanent basis from the start.
 The Congressman has killed two birds with one stone. He takes charge of both our fish and cur timber, and informs us that the bureaus know what is best and will save US if we are not too obstinate and do not refuse to heed the voice of bureaucratic wisdom. It is quite evident that some other bureaus besides the Bureau of Fisheries are on the job and MT. Sommers is not afraid to tackle two big problems and solve them in three weeks study and investigation. Con- gressman Dickinson must have wasted considerable time, being able to solve but one small prob- lem, while MT. SOmmers has al- ready settled two, and God only knows how many more he has

 Congressman Winters spoke of putting the salmon production lack on stable basis" How comes it ever to get off a stable basis? This industry has always been under one or more Govern ment bureaus, always, and if it became unstable, what were the bureaus doing, and who but the bureaus were to blame? If they permitted it to become unstable, which in the language of com mon sense means that the fish cries are depleted, is it not bit far fetched to leave these same bureaus to replenish them. And is it also not crowding the inourner's bench for Mr. Dickin- son to indulge in such abuse of Us who somewhat distrust these bureaus who are admittedly to blame for present conditions.
 But nevertheless and notwith- standing we are sure glad to have the advice of that Old Sourdough, Congressman Dick inson and that Ancient Mariner and Fisherman, Congressman Summers, from the. Seaport of Spokane. A word to the wise is sufficient We have been advised and warned and we know what to do, and if We are not saved and go to Hell in spite of all this good advice, it is no fault of the Congressman. They told us and they warned us.
 Let it be said Tn fairness that the Democratic Congressmen do not seem to have been so cock sure about it all, for they kept quiet. They may have been con- vinced that questions as large as these could bear some study, and they may have further suspicious that bureau chaperonage was not altogether conducive to as- certaining facts and truth or
