this: One of the Broadway shows

back and cancelled the perform

folded.
When the public decides to stay
away it can do complete job.

One For "Addie"

On the list of future produc-
tions by the National Players is
the George Kaufman-Edna Ferber
play, The Royal Family" It is
away down on the list, which
means if good business keeps up
we may see this opus some time
in August.
For some reason never ex-
planned, this play-which is grand
entertainment-failed to reach
Washington in it's journeys. Pro
ducer Jed Harris closed it up be-
cause it had an expensive cast
and the road displayed only mod
crate enthusiasm for the drama.
My yearning to see the National
Players do "The Royal Family
is that it contains a swell part
for Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard. 1t
so happens that "Addie" being
listed in the the National roster
for character roles seldom gets a
nice juicy part. The script plums
invariably fall to the youthful
leads and Mrs. Hibbard accord
4IlS1S CdOO dC CA4C oCLO11O Uc1O1C
But in "The Royal Family" things
are different. The play is about
q theatrical family very much
like the famous Barrymores) and
the mother of the Cavendishes
is grand old character who lust
creeps into your heart.
think Mrs. Hibbard could do
q magnificent job if she was
handed this part (played in the
original production by Haidee
Wright) and I am sure her E
street following, which is consid-
erable, would love to hang out
the flags and beat the drums for
a beloved trouper.
Anyway THE Royal Family" is
on the waiting list. It's a hard
play to do, for actors must be
found to resemble the Barrymores
Ethel and Lionel and Jack-and
it presents other problems for
stock producers. though feel the
Cochran-Brooke combination can
surnount them.
But they must do it soon for
Paramount is making a talkie of
the play right at this moment.

MRS. HIBBARD
DUE TO GET
FINE PART
BY ANDREW R. KELLEY

The first week of the Meakin
dynasty at the Fox Theater goes
in the book as notable for taking
down the top money in receipts
for the Washington picture
houses. Janet Gayner and
Charles Farrell in High Society
Blues" will wind up tonight With
a rising $4,000 gross. good busi-
ness, any week any time for F
Street.
Still, as one of the rival film
impressarios observed yesterday
at the double-header, IF I had
Lefty Grove to pitch and his
fast one was working right, I
could win a ball game too"
The simile is little subtle, but
twisted it around to mean that
the Gaynor Farrell team is some
thing like world champions at
the box office.

to let the New York Theater

that Mr.. Shaw slice his very fat

With these concessions the guild
was hopeful of running the play
all summer. Shaw said mo"
and the play will close until it
goes on tour.
Maurice Kafka who has been

Biggest Phone Rush
 Since 1926 RepOrted

Not since the North < Judd diS- aster February 4, 1926, when the collapse of d foundry roof under He weight of snow caused the death of a number of men, has the local tels- phone service fa9ed such heavy de mands as last night, according to T. P. McAuliffe, exchange manager.
 Although the wires had bceh busy all day long. by 6 o'clock the recently enlarged switchboard was being taxed to it's fullest capacity. Since the board is much larger than at the time of the North 6 Judd catastrophe, this would indicate that there were more calls than the local exchange has ever before handled. Every position on the board WAS filled, more than double the number Of girls being retained for duty until after o'clock. t@
 The number of calls was far in excess of those handled at the last presidential election and is estimat- ed to have been approximately 16f. 900 within a three-hour period, which is considered more than a 90 per cent overload, 10000 to 11,0W being a fairly high average. "A. Thousands of calls for inforraa- ton on the election were answered at the Herald office.

CURB MAKES GAIN
 ON HEAVY BUYING
Score Of Issues Show Heels to
 Remainder Of List Today

New York, April 9 (P>-The curb market once more turned emphat- ically upward today under the in fluencc of heavy buying of selected issues.
 Thc movement was not broad, being confined to about score of issues, but it was sufficient to lm- part a firm tone to the general list. While speculative sentiment re- mained somewhat cautious, there was feeling that the markets posi- ton had been improved by the mod crate reaction yesterday.
 Deere New Strong
 A strong feature was Deere new stock, which was hurled up nearly 10 points, to the accompaniment ot Wall street estimates that earnings this year will run between s20 and s25 a share, compared to $l6 last year. Aviation Corp. of the Amer icas was also in demand rising mol than points to a new high for the year.
 Aluminium Co. rose about 1O points to around it's best 1950 lev els, and substantial advances were scored by American Chain and the new Tubizc Chatillon class "B shares.
 Utility shares generally moved forward with United Light & Pow. CT "A" in the lead. This issue sold around the peak levels of the year American and foreign power war rants and electric bond and share rallied substantially. The United Gas new shares, however, were again under pressure, reaching new low levels. Niagara Hudson turned over in considerable volume slightly above yesterdays final level.
 Oils Rally Moderately
 Oils generally rallied moderately despite tho American Petroleum h. stitute's estimate showing sub- stantial gain in crude production last week. This was attributed pri- marily 10 the bringing in of Gush- CT by Indian Territory and Foster Petroleum in the Oklahoma City pool. Gulf and Humble sold mod erately higher. The Indian Terri. tory issues. however, were sluggish and Cities Service eased fractionally

Central Falls Restaurant Owners
 Protest Forced Closing of Places

Central Falls, R. l., April 3 Pl- After A hours in which not single meal was served in the 122 eating places in this city of 10000 persons, definite action to relieve the situa- tion was taken today at mass meeting of the aggrieved restaur- anters
 The eating house owners named d committee of three to call on Alder men Dolor Phaneuf and Joseph Girard, so-called insurgents, to in- duce them to attend an aldermanic meeting long enough to approve the victualers' licenses which expired on March 31 and for lack of which Po- lice Chief James Mccarthy yesterday closed every restaurant in the city.
 The assembled victualers were told privately by one of their mem- bers, it was learned, that at least ono of the aldermen had consented to attend the meeting for the pur- pose, and it was said that Thomas Davis, president of the aldermen, had given his assurance that he would call special meeting next Monday if quorum was definitely promised.
 There has been no quorum of the aldermen for more than month while the common council, likewise split into "blocs," has not had Q meeting since last October.
 tn u,pEot
 Despite the plight of the restau- rateurs, the public generally seem- ed to suffer only inconvenience Strangers in the city walked five or six minutes from their hotels and found themselves in Pawtucket where plenty of service and food was available. The same thing was true for those who motored or rode bS street car 20 minutes in another di. rection to Providence.
 The city government. from Mayor J. Adelard St. George down to every member of the common council ant board of aldermen, today was serv' ed with summons to appear in su preme court at Providence next Mon day to show cause why they should not meet and transact official busi ness.
 Their appearance was required 1T answer to a writ of mandamus ask cd by City Treasurer John T. Wade who alleged that vital city business was being neglected while the mem bers of the city government absentet themselves because of private griey anceS.
