THE crisis in ticket speculation has
provoked much argument. None
Of 1t, however, has contained word
from sidewalk brokerage, an important
though humble element in the dramat
barter and change. The curb salesman,
as you may know is the fellow just outs
side the play house gates who succofS
you when you have been turned away
from the box Office, hungering for
show. AS you wiring your hands in
starvation and despair 1t is he who
helps you out and let's you in on pay
ment of a suitable premium. Newman,
Kay and Mcbride may be more impoS-
ing marketeers, but the man on the
curb is the man Of last resort.

CAD Mr.. Carroll, producer Of the gay
"Vanities," is again severely cud-
geled by the authorities for disobeying
some of Broadway's more vigorous COM
mandments. He is ambitious to free
the theater from its hidebound restric-
tons and to make 1t pagan picnic
ground for Nature in moments Of re-
Taxation AS a D. H. Lawrence or q
Frank Harris of the stage, he has be-
come a victim of his own enthusiasm.
Now the nicer people speak Of him In
whispers and 60 in multitudes to his
show, only that they may be able to dee
nounce it with clear conscience. Mr..
Carroll, perhaps, is a glutton for perSes
cution and is happiest when martyr.
He may like to revel in retribution and
prefer his present status to the re-
spectability of his brethren in art, Mr..
Ziegfeld, Mr.. White and the Messrs.
Shubert. Perhaps some day he win be
known as the emancipation, Which re-
minds me that ! erred in saying that
Mr.. Carroll introduced Abraham LIN.

Sound Changes STYLES.

THE day of exaggerated screen fash
ions is past, according to Caroline
Putnam, costume designer for Para
mount.
There was a time" she said, when
motion picture actresses were 'dolled
up in creations never seen elsewhere on
land or sea. The star wore diamond
studded evening dresses with trains i've
yards long, while the vampire was
dressed in skin-tight garments with
black and white stripes.
Sound has changed all that now.
Actresses are cultured people, able to
wear simple costumes with grace and
ease. It Is no longer necessary to go to ex
tremes to put over the idea of wealth
to the sticks as an old-time director
once expressed it to me. Those who
live in what used to be termed the sticks
now travel in Europe and wear the lat
est Paris creations.

our players in the height of fashion,

PRAYERS FOR RAIN
 DECLARED FUTILE
FeE Preachers Uphold Idea in
 Chicago Symposium

Chicago, Sept. (UP)-Prayer5 for rain are futile, in the opinion of . majority of prominent Ameri- can clergymen who took part in a symposium conducted by the maga- zine Christian Century"
 One fundamentalist leader. Dr, Mark Mathews of Seattle, declared that God had answered prayers for rain in Biblical days and that he could do it again if he so desired.
 Another answer on the positive side came from Dr. James M. Gray, president of the Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago. He upheld the possibility of divine intervention 1n meteorological affairs by declaring that since God made the weather he also could change it.
 pr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of New York. John D. Rockefeller's pastor. led the doubters.
 "No imaginable connection exists between a mans inward, spiritual attitude and a rain storm" said Dr. Fosdick. He pleaded for an aban- donment of "crude, obsolete super naturalism in this benighted and uncivilized country"
 pr. W. P. Lemon of Minneapolis called praying for rain an attempt to involve God in "a cooperative scheme to maintain present Ameri- can living standards" It is he said, too much like asking God to send an earthquake to aid, an excavation or a hurricane to complete a wreck ing job.
