BELASCO BEGINS WORK ON PLAY TO HAV PREMIERE HERE
'PAJAMA LADY
BOWS In AT
NATIONAL

George w. Lederer sponsors the
first musical comedy of the new
season to try its wings before the
flight to Broadway.
"Pajama Girl" opened at the
National Theater before q gener.
ous-sized audience last night lured
by the name of the bijou comic,
Lester Allen, and others of less
renown In the realm Of girl and
melody conceits.
What they received in "Pajama
Girl" was a continental farce of
intimate type adapted to the
Broadway manner, whose slory
was so thin 1t was difficult to
spread 1t over two long acts
Given the opportunity to step
into one Of the barren spots, Ly'
tell and Fant, two black and tan
hooters, calmly proceeded to DOW
off after a few moments in the
spotlight with the high houors
Of the evening slowed safely in
their pockets.
All the action occurs on the
deck of the freighter Aurora,
bound from Halifax to New York
Through some accident Of the
seas and other convenient de
vices, a newly wed couple, q
troupe of show girls. a pSchvo
analyslst, q scrawny old maid
and other polygot types come
aboard the vessel, which has but
a very limited number Of state
rooms. Chester Allen is the
steward Of the good ship Aurora
The plot thickens when a pirate
craft attacks the freighter and
the mysterious skipper of the
maurader demands q feminine
forfeit to spare the lives of his
hostages.
Such a highly farcical structure
depends much upon an accelerated
tempo and pell-mell pace to COM
pensate for its fluffiness. "Pajama
Girl" occasionally offered these
moments Of high-geared fun but
too often moved ponderously
along without spontaneity OF
sparkle. Prancing on after these
periods Of dullness a proficient
troupe Of Albertina Rasch dancers
received more than a full,sized
share Of appreciation.
Among "Pajama Girls" assets
are a tuneful score supplied by
Richard Myers and Phillip
Charig, with Three Guesses, -
"One Two Three" and Lets Sup
pose" the most intriguing Of the
melodies. They are of the whistly
kind.

An Unusual Incident

Implications anc differences that are GER
tain to be drawn from the decision Of the
five Judges to reform methods Of handling
receiverships are more important than the
announcement itself.
There has been very harsh criticism con-
corning the manner in which these matters
have been handled in the past and especially
concerning the size Of fees which have gone
to lawyers.
Creditors and owners of a concern which
falls into the sad days Of court dissolution
have too frequently found that the major
portion of the assets was needed to pay for
the funeral ceremonies.
The Judges now announce that they have
agreed not to take the advice of the attorney
who asks for a receiver in naming such
official.
The practice of which complaint has been
made and which is now to be abandoned IS
to name some friend of the attorney as re-
ceiver. The receiver then names an at
torney. Both draw fees
In many cases one attorney will be named
as receiver and employs another to advise
him.
What is more important is the size OF
the fees given for winding up affairs OF any
bankrupt concern. Every penny possible
should be saved for creditors and owners in
misfortune.
1t would appear from the fact that it was
necessary to have an understanding among
the judges, and perhaps a formal meeting on
the subject, that the judges admit the prac-
tice they now condemn has been general.
That apparently is a confession and per-
haps the public may forgive if the results
from the change of methods produces tangi-
BILE results.
The real test will come when the pea
centages salvaged for owners and creditors
begin to rise and the cost of administration
is reduced.
1t is rather bitter comment that it is too
costly to go broke in Indianapolis.
The high cost of bankruptcy has been
source of much injustice. The people will
watch to see whether the administrative
costs fall and especially whether the new
order results in the naming of men who are
not under suspicion of obtaining them be-
cause of political prestige.

At present in many of the great
cancer clinics both the radium and
surgical methods are used in such
types of cancer, and it is still being
debated which one is preferable.
This would indicate that both
methods yield good results in many
cases and both methods fail in other
types of cases.
For the application of radium
special devices are necessary which
permit introduction of the radium or
the radium emanation in tubes
directly to the point where the
cancer is situated.
In the presence of complicating
conditions, such as infections, severe
anemia, diabetes, heart disease or
tuberculosis, it is necessary to be
especially cautious.

Early Attention Important in Cancer

The studies show, however, one
fact that is especially important;
far too many cases of cancer in
young as well as in older women
are being neglected until it is too
late for more than temporary
amelioration.
Eighty per cent of the cases
seen in the Marie Cure clinic in
London were already inoperable
when first seen.
One of the greatest experts in
France, Regaud, in a recent report
to the League of Nations, advised the
formation or special consultation
centers for cancer which might be in
close touch with laboratories so that
the proper examinations could be
made for early diagnosis of this
disease.
