around q cool million dollars which
the city doesn't have TO spend on
such things right now.
The next best thing to aid In re-
lieving traffic congestion Is the
widening Of street intersections,
giving cars more room in which TO
perform fancy curves and the
tricky maneuvers some motorists
are in the habit Of making.
The widening, OF course, means
that the pedestrian will have a long
er stretch across which he must
sprint, but with years of constant
practice behind him, this added
distance shouldn't be SO bad.

What's It All About.

1.-THE APPLE CART" Bernard
L Shaw's newest play, which is now
at the National Theater, has its scene
laid in the future-1960. to be exact. In
the drama Mr.. Shaw seeks to give his
views of the problems which democracy
will have to face in the days to come,
and he offers certain startling prophecies
as to what will happen.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Shaw
has made prophecies before and that
they have been accurate with a star
ting uniformity, his sprightly utterances
concerning 1860 must be looked upon
as coming with authority.
Since Mr.. Shaw'S play, far from
being fantastic, is a reasoned and witty
forecast of what the author expects
will be actual conditions, Lee Simonson
Of the guild was unable to fall back
upon the wild fantasy that Is usually
the Samaritan of stage designers in a
like situation. He had to forecast what
was actually going to happen In the
physical world also, just as Mr.. Shaw
forecast what was going to happen in
the social, economic and political.
Two of the scenes are interiors. One
Is placed on q terrace overlooking the
London Ct the future. It Is this last
set that offers the most interesting
surface possibilities. The terrace itself
Is strictly formali2ed In a manner that

A Ready Wit.

CONSTANCE BENNETT, Pathe star
of "Sin Takes a Holiday" is reputed
to be one of the readiest wits in the mo-
ton picture colony.
Recently several reporters sought to
test the claim. It was at reportorial
luncheon. One sob sister of the press
gushed over the costume Miss Bennett
was wearing. Miss Bennett thanked
her for the compliment and remarked
quite casually she had designed 1t her.
self, The reportorial ladys eyes grew
round as she exclaimed:
why, how surprising that you of all
people should go in for designing your
own clothes. I've always heard that
Patou, Boue -"
Miss Bennett interrupted, quietly:
"Id like to tell you a little story. A
few years ago I was in Montreal At
the same time the Prince of Wales was
there. The debutantes were making a
great fuss over him and talking royalty
this. royalty that and royalty every
thing else to him. He stood it as long
as he could and then-with obvious de-
liberation - drew a letter from his
pocket and read part of it. It was
from his sister, Princess Mary. She
was telling him about a new hat she
had. The hat had been designed and
put together by her n1other-the Queen
Of England"
$50 you see," she concluded with an
amused smile, I'm stepping along with
the best Of them"

logical conclusion. There are wide
plane. surfaces and minimum Of those
Earring angles that mar much OF the
present mode. The terrace Is crowned
by formalized urns, supported by metal
ornaments, thin and extremely plain.
This attribute Of formalization and
elimination of all conventional details
will be, according to MFR. Simonson, the
most marked characteristic of the
future in architecture, furnishings and
even clothes
The most striking interior Is the
council chamber of King Magnus of
England, the central figure of the play.
Interesting use Is made of vertical and
horizontal lines on f1at-colored back
walls that are decorated only by line
ornaments in metal. The entire cor
nerS of the room are units of diffused
lighting behind heavy ground glass.
The door Is plain and solid, with no
frame or Intel.
Perhaps the most interesting Of the
designs are those for the business suits
Of the men Of the play. Mems clothes,
like furniture, have changed very little
in the last hundred years: in fact, only
in details since the days of 1912, when
men first graduated to long trousers.
Mr.. Simonson keeps the chief char
acteristics, but changes many details
and sirnplifles the whole effect accord
. tng to his generL p1an.
