 / And Hear Billings Pardon Plea

Folsom Prison, Cal, Aug. 4 LP- formed into a court chamber today for the hearing by six supreme court justices of Warren K. Billings plea for a pardon.
 The spectacle of supreme court Justices converting behind peniten tiary walls to hear a convict's story IS without precedent in California and believed to be unique in the his tory of American jurisprudence.
 Billings and Thomas J. Mooney are serving life sentences for the Preparedness Day bombing which killed 10 and injured 70 persons in San Francisco in 1916. Their fight for a pardon on the ground they were innocent and had been con- victed on perjured testimQny has been before the courts and governors 0, California for 15 years.
 Jurists Safeguarded
 The prison hearing will begin this evening after Folsom's 2,100 con- vlcts have had dinner and have been locked in their cells. Every precau- rIon was taken 10 safeguard the Jur- .sts and prevent any possible dem onstrations hy the prisoners. many Of whose pleas have been denied by the high court.

DOWNINGGIVES
CLASSIC AT
AUDITORIUM

Robert Downing, whose name
is prominent on the roll Of the
great actors of yesterday,
emerges from retirement this
week to present a revival of
some of his greatest successes.
A large audience last night at
the Washington Auditorium
gave a warm reception to
Damon and PythiaS," the First
offering in a classical repertoire
with which Downing and his
troupe initiated their trans
continental tour. under the di-
rection Of Henri GreSsitt. The
object Of this tour, as Downing
pointed out in a curtain talk,
is to awaken appreciation of the
classical and Shakespearean
drama, especially among the
younger generation.
The story of Damon and
Pythias" is familiar enough. It
has come down through genera
tions as the symbol of the per-
feet friendship. 1t is acted by
Downing and his troupe in the
old-time declamatory fashion
and should at least prove inter-
esting to the younger generation
as an example of the dramatic
fare that satisfied their fathers.
The group of actors associated
with Downing includes Herbert
Delmore, who plays Pythias,
Raymond Barrett, as Dionysius,
Helen Dale Brown, as Calanthe
and Ken Cartierz, as Marcus.
Downing, of course is Damon.
Simple backdrops are used in
Stea a d of elaborate painted
scenery and prove effective
enough.
"Ingomar" will be presented
the later part of the week begin
ming Thursday.
Isaac Cans, former president
Of the Chamber of Commerce,
gave short talk before the rise
OF the curtain last night. calling
attention to Downing's claim on
Washington as his home.

In a limited group of pleasant

I pluck this communication
from a Washington manager.
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
May the undersigned, one
Of those castigators of critics
who appends his signature to
his opprobria and takes the
consequences standing, add his
encomium to the many plauditS
you have no doubt received fol
lowing your maiden effort on
the air? An entertaining
melange of things theatrical
not clear to the layman with
out the explanation of the
critics or their squirming
victims.
Since reading the addenda
to your talk in your daily
column, I feel constrained to
say that either you did not
have your thoughts correctly
arranged or else the timekee per
deprived your listeners of an
outstanding statement. your
golden thought of the day that
did not find utterance. Two
minutes more would have done
it as the thought came as the
second addendum in your
column. AS in arguments, de-
bates and orations, the best
thoughts come afterwards and
are lost.
so allow me now to thank
you for your very truthful state
ment relative to the Shubert
Theater Corporation and the
class OF their plays during the
present season. We may well
hope that some of them will
come to. Washington from
Broadway in order that local
theatergoers may make their
own comparisons as you have
so frankly done. And don't
give too much of your air to
the pictures, your column indi-
Gates that your mind is full of
the legitimate. Let's have it.
Ever cordially,
"T. D. BONNEVILLE"
What" writes L. j. E.-who
insists he desires information
and not a controversy-have
the Shuberts done in serious
drama that entities them to
the same consideration as the
New York Theater Guild?"
Considerable, is my reply,
without even poring minutely
over the record, Death Takes
a Holiday" for instance,
and THE Infinite Shoeblack."
Also "Topaze," the, high grade
comedy from the French now
running at the Music Box with
Frank Morgan featured. Again
John DrinkWater's Bird in
Hand" and the production of
"The Matriarch" opening last
night with Constance Collier.
In the offing, a new Pinero
play. On the whole a better
record of play picking than the
Guild can show in a season
where George Bernard Shaw
looks the only Guild hit in a
succession of flops. Unless
perchance, "A Month In the
Country" registers positively.
