"Whistling Oyster" Cast
 Walks Out on Author

Cambridge, Mass. March 1 l (UP)-Trouble still dogs the at- tempts of Arthur F. Blanchard, politician turned playwright, to have his play, "The Whistling Oyster" presented to the public.
 On the ground that the work was "too saiacious." the entire cast walked out on Blanchard at rehearsal last night, refusing to appear in the production. The play, according to Blanchard, was written as a satire on Boston politics and society.
 Attempts to have it banned by police edict failed recently and for a time it was thought all would be smooth sailing. Then the Cambridge Laboratory thea ter, where it was to have been produced, was condemned by state building officials. Brattle hall. also in this city. was finally selected. as suitable theater and Blanchard planned to stage his piece March "A.
 Now the former politician has a theater, play, and permission to produce if, but no actors.

FASHIONABLE CLUB
 STRUCK BY BOMB
Three Hurt, Rumors Say
 Patrons Dodge Policemen

Chicago, March 1 P>-The club Algiers, night life haunt of smart and wealthy gold coasters, closed last night with a bang.
 A bomb, planted on the alley side of the transformed undertaker's barn, exploded when about 25 fash ionably dressed men and women were dining or dancing inside. One side of the club was wrecked and at least three persons were slightly hurt.
 A post office sub-station across the street was damaged, the explosion smashing windows not only there but in other nearby buildings. even in the Allerton house block away.
 Police were told that a musician, bond broker and a young society woman were among those cut and bruised. The place, however, was de- serted except for employees when of ficers arrived, and names of the in jured were not obtained.
 It was the last night of the club Algiers at the 657 St. Clair street address. The club was to reopen to- night downtown" members were told. A federal paddock had been ordered for the club today.
 Two years ago the building at 6o7 St. Clair street was a barn in which, an undertaking establishment kept it's hearses. Many thousands of dol lars were spent transforming it into a night club catering to a gold coast clientele.
 Warning to Owner
 The bomb, police were sure, was another warning of gangsters to Cock Eyed Mulligan" Albin, club to get out and stay out of business. Police have charged that Albin had consistently refused to take orders from the gang claiming the '1iquor privilege" in the territory in which the club is located.
