group, headed by Harry A. Wheeler OF
Chicago, viii meet to devise plans for

simultaneously with these committee

would divert business from the Youngs-

Three hundred and nifty protesting

freight from railroads to trucks, and
that in the East two subsidiaries OF
railroads were turning to the use OF
trucks as more economical.
The Short Line brief said 1t was "fair
to state that agriculture (Which should
be enlarged to include fruit and vege-
tables) has made q strong showing in
support OF the proposition that an In

not result In substantial increase OF

Just Before Death.

NEW YORK, November 20.-David
Belasco believed life was a lie.
lived to hear 1t sung. It is In the
hands now of Achmed Abdullah in the
form Of "Pantaloon," a play-and it
may wait yet awhile until actors worthy
of the BelaSco tradition are found.
The great producer-until his death
last May the dean of them all-wrote
the play in collaboration with Abdullah,
and, so says the latter, he meant it to
be the symbol of his own philosophy.
His philosophy was: RemorSe and
forgiving will in itself do away with
evils.
The play concerns the theater. For
the characters the theater man drew
upon his ancestors, and made panta-
loon and harlequin the chief dispensers
of his philosophy. Belasco's father was
a famous pantaloon of England. His
grandfather was a prize fighter and
ancestors before him back to the Middle
Ages have been Shown1en Of one type
or another.
"Play for the Masses"
cts good theater," says Abdullah,
nothing highbrow: symbolic. but in
terpreted in strict terms Of life-it's a
play Tor the masses.
Harlequin delivers the theme, pro-
logue:
'Sirs: I beg your pardon. I do not
mean to disturb you. But-do you
know what is back yonder-back stage?
No? Permit me to tell you then, sirs!
Back yonder is truth-my mistress.
Truth and I are lovers. For the sake
of truth, change the patches on my
suit day after day. Why? Because
truth changes. Because truth is never
twice alike. Because truth is a thing
the road down which I travel. Truth
speaks under my feet all day.
Therefore, should there be any liars
amongst you, sirS, will you not have the
goodness to leave the theater-So that
truth may not shock you-or, belize,
that you may not shock truth? All!
No one departs? Capstal-by my stom-
ach! Now then-between men and
men-pardon! I perceive some ladies in
the audience. All truthful ladies I en-
treat to remain. But as to those who are
addicted to lies and gossip-out with
them! Do see right? Not lady de-
parts! Good-by my tall We are all
friends. And so-ladieS and sirs-
quilting curtain aside) behold truth!
IT wonder, though, would you know
truth If you saw it face to face-you,
VINO are so IruLnIulT nor Au-permlC
me to tell, you ladies and sirs-truth Is
Lie!
Life Is a Lie"
Life is lie!"
Love Is your pardon, ladies and
sirs. We are at play-not at a SER
mon.
And the play goes on.
Mr.. Belasco spent the last two years
of his life working on the piece, Alb
dullah helping with dialogue.
A character dies in the first act. He
is alive again in the third. Remorse
and forgiving bring him back.
Abdullah says the play will be ex-
pensive to produce and difficult to cast.

said. "Columbine must be great emo

The program, distinctive in that

poser. was opened with four attrac-
tive preludes from "Op. 3d." by
Rachmaninoff, the poetic D major,
the popular G minor, the wistful ED

standpoint of poetic feeling as well
as of q facile technique.
The second part of the program
consisted of Palgren'S May Night,
