They Taunt Him

"It's too bad" mused Craven,
shaking his head. They tell
me YOU used to be a promotion
man and that you were making
a hundred bucks a week When
you were fired"
The goat seemed to be in
something of q daZe.
That's right" he said. Eyes,
that's right"
"Well, asserted Craven as he
moved off, IF they're paying
you $22 a week now you're sure
moving up in the world. Good
night. jenkins"
Goodnight" muttered Jen-
kins...
At 4 O'Clock in the morning
Craven and Smith sat around
in the office and discussed Jen-
kins' reaction to the little gag.
HE wasn't as funny as I
thought he'd be-" chirped Cra-
ven. That's one gag that fell
flat with him. You know, some
times get to feeling a little
sorry for that guy. We ought
to lay off him for a while"
The Sad Ending
"Sure we will" agreed Smith.
IF he'd only get wise and stop
being so almighty cOckSure Of
himself. That's what peeved
me about him. That's why we
kid him. He's too sure Of him
SELF"
Craven chuckled.
"He didn't look so sure when
he left here tonight, " he laughed.
"He-"
The phone rang. Smith
answered it. He spoke cheer
fully. The happiness died from
his voice. His tone grew fright
ened. He bit his lip and placed
the receiver back on the hook.
You're right, Craven" he
muttered. "He wasn't sure.
Jenkins killed himself by gas
an hour ago. His wife told the
police he was going to lose his
job on Saturday and that he
couldn't hold out any longer"

two kids across the bridge in
New York. 1t would never do
to kid him in that direction,
but a kidding slap at his pocket
book might provide some
amusement. So the plan went
through.
Both Smith and Craven made

to await the reaction upon critic and
public alike.
His cast, headed by Basil Rathbone
with whom we are already pleasantly
acquainted, has other celebrities who
also deserve special mention.
For instance, Selena Royle. the only
American in the cast, is the talented
and distinguished daughter of Edwin
Milton Royle, the noted dramatist and
author. She plays the leading feminine
role. Henry Daniel, who also has an
important part, first came to America
70 play with Ethel Barrymore in de-
classe." He also appeared with her in
The Laughing Lady" and "The Second
MRS. Tanqueray," and with the entire
barrymore family in "Clair de Lune."
Betty Lawford, another of the English
cast OF Heat Wave" Is the daughter of
Ernest Lawford, one of George Arliss'
noted actors, and she already has made
quite reputation for herself. Hugh
Buckler Is an actor with q high repu-
tation in plays classic and modern,
whose worth was demonstrated in
Revolt" Wings Over Europe" 1.-THE
Ladder" 1.-THE Two Orphans and
Chinese ONeill" to mention a few.
1t thus win be seen that the advance
information of our American premiere
only serves to deepen the interest in the
forthcoming presentation of the play
Heat Wave" at the National q week
from tomorrow evening.

elegantly described by the average press

the National Capital has had to take

The announcement, therefore, that
we are to have really, truly American

to put our nervously inclined on the

New York saw and enjoyed, but
washington did not, because

may or may not interest the casual
reader. ALI its plays have been
given a production that will rank
with metropolitan road shows of
big caliber. And the players, vary
ing from year to year, with always
enough Of the stock favorites of
each year on hand, have gone
hence to higher and more impor-
tant things in the world beyond
Washington. For instance, Minor
Watson, the first leading man, is
now a Belasco star, recently ap-
pearing here in ITS a Wise
