romance under Southern skies.
The framework of "Coquette" carries
one Of the most effective pieces of
drama that has appeared in the Ameri-
can theater in the past two decades
It has to do with little Southern girl
whose romance, through misunderstand-
ing. is wrecked on the rocks of paternal
authority. There is a point in the story
where it reaches supreme tragedy. Not
withstand1ng this dramatic tension,
there is a constant flow OF rich, likable
humor, with five laughs to every tear.
Leneta Lane will assume the Helen
Hayes role. There is a splendid part
also for Mrs. Hubbard and good roles
for nearly every member Of the cast.

 IN THE RECKLESS UDJR' DRAMATIC HIT NOW Ar STATE

The Reckless Hour" which opened an engagement at the Wagner Bros State thcatcr this afternoon, iA one of those rare pie tureJ which make one feel that the players are people we have always known and that the events are happening in actuality, instead of in the shadoWIand of the screen.
 The Reckless Hours" K an adaptation of the play, 'Ambu9h" by Arthur Richman. The heroine of the story is the daug hter of q dealer in books, rather intellectual man who accepts his wife's fault finding, AS being his due. There is another daughter in the family, q jealous. sIangy blonde. who IS continually wishing hat she might have her sister Margarct's luck in being model at q Fifth avenue atelier. Margaret can wear the sWanky clothes and meet the swanky people. and who knows what swell match shc may fnak", go thinks Myrtle,
 Margaret does indeed meet the swell and therein lIes the tragedy. She believes his cxtrayagant pro- testations of love, accepts his gifts and Is finally deserted by him. Elm bittered by his dupllcity. too proud 10 live with Il man who does not love her, she refuses to accept even money from his rich father. IL IS Margarcta own father who invests all he has iD sl doubtful venture Co make money enough 10 pay her hospital expenses. Her baby dies, and she comes back 10 the WorkA- day world diaillusioncd and cyn.- cal toward all men.
 1t is when she is taken aA q model by a young artist that the fates decide to be kind to her. But many exciting complications hap pen before the climax of the dccp- ly human story. Mss MaCkaill. known for her vivid impcrsona- tion8 of the modern girl, has never been 20 effective nor reached such emotional heights aA In Inc role of Margaret Nichols.
 The men who play Inc false and the true lover are Walter Byron and Conrade NaGeL II. r.. Warner plays the part of the devoted father. Her mother iH portrayed by clever Helen Ware. The rough neck sister is done with her we'll known verVe by Joan Elondcli, who is abettcd in her antics by nimble-footed Joe DOnahuc. Big Billie House is the crooked pro- moer wh swallows up dads sav- ings, and his wife is portrayed by Dorothy PetersOn. Ivan simpson gives another of his inlmitablc but Ter characterizationa. and Mae Madison adds her blonde charm 10 that of the star and Joan. Claude King does the wealthy father Of the first lover.
 The balance of the program is likewise top notch entertainment.

 Not syllable about the revolu- tion Not d whisper about cx-

 Where did you learn your Eng l Iish 2" ask him.

 know 8 man can turn in a few inches of space, whereas a bull has to have lots of room. How Skill Counts 4-The stroke by which the to- rero kills the bull is not the high spot of performance. The real skill comes in playing the angry animal with the 'muleto," the small square of red cloth which the tore- TO waves in front of him. If he is a great terero he barely moves from his chosen spot, but he makes the bull charge time and again, 80 cleverly maneuvering that he is not gored.
 5-There is common belief that for some hours before fight the bull is not fed and is torment

 We will not go into the matter of the bull fights. They have been
 described enough. Some people like
 them. Others hate them. But they
 were known in Spain long before
 the Christian era.

Managed Economy

Numerous cries for changes in
both the social and economic order
are resounding through the country
and many are doubtless justified
Even the most case-hardened capi-
talists are admitting that some
changes are necessary-and this Is
not surprising since We live in a
world of change and progress is al
ways forward.
Unquestionably some of the idea:
which are being advocated now vii
be adopted, II not at once, then later
But the present struggle primarily /.
one between the so-called capitalistit
system and the urge toward an in
direct communism by expecting gov
crnment to solve every problem.
These hopeful quests for an all
seeing and all-powerful government
are based, usually, upon the assurnp
ton that the government is all-pow'
.erful and all-wise. It is q false pre-
mise, for everyone in America knows
if he stops to think, that he. as vel
as the rest Of Us, really constitute tn
government.
The encouraging thing about tn
