1.-THE Silver Cord" was first pro-
duced by the New York Theater
Guild on Dec. 90 1926 at the John
Golden Theater under the direction
of John Cromwell To portray the
leading role, it had the inexhaust-
ible artistry and ability of Miss
Laura Hope Crews, supported by
such Guild actors as Eliot Cabot,
Bargalo Gilmore. Elizabeth Risdon,
Earl Larimore and Barbara Bruce.
Stuart Walker presented THE
Silver Cord" in Cincinnati two sea-
sons ago. when it proved one OF the
finest pieces in his repertory.
The Silver Cord" is a psychology
ical study of a selfshly poSSesSive
mother who seeks with such power
and craft as she is capable of COM
handing to rule the lives of her two
sons long after they are grown men.
The play opens with the younger
son Robert and Lis finance waiting
for the arrival from Europe of the
older son Dave and his wife, whom
they have never met, a charming
young woman who is a biologist, or
"lady-scientist," as her new mother
in-laW calls her.
The two young women meet and
like each other. The mother, Mrs.
Phelps, comes in to greet her re-
turning son,
She is all absorbed in him. The
result of the play concerns this all
consuming devotion and mother love
which she has plastered on the two
boys, since she was left young
widow at the age of 25, and which
has so dominated the two boys I'M
til they have localized her and built
up a powerful, psychological bond.

land. During 1929. he played

time when a concert ticket was the

Of daylight hold-upS This is true not
only in New York, Chicago, Philadel-

large cities. but also in the smaller
municipalities.
The average age of the yeggmen
was above 40. A pete man served a
definite apprenticeship before becom-
ing cracksman and was always looked
up to by other criminals The Grim
inals of today however, range from 90
to 81 years of age"
Dependability of the motor car in a
"uuick getaway" and the ease with
which automobiles can be stolen. to-
gether with perfecting of mechanical
protective devices in banks were cited by
Mr.. Clark as probable reasons for the
