Question: What are the fashion,
able wedding hours?
Answer: In New York the FASH
ionable wedding hours are at noon
or at four in the afternoon with
the wedding breakfast or reception
a half hour later.
In San Francisco and generally
in the west, smart weddings take
place at 8 o'clock. The details are
exactly the same as those for
morning or afternoon wedding with
the exception that the bride and
bridesmaids wear gowns more typ
ical of evening dresses. and the
men wear evening clothes.
If for some particular reason it
is desired to have an early morn
ing wedding. nine o'clock is the ac-
cepted hour and costumes of the
bride and her attendants are those
for morning clothes, and the we'd
ding breakfast is in this case. truly
a breakfast. Appropriate dishes are
served instead of those more suit

= r you will glance at Kitty Goodale's recent
book about her tour with Edwin Booth,
across the Continent in 1886-87, you will
find a record of huge, enthusiastic audi
ences, even in comparatively small and
remote cities. Those were the palmy days
of the road. you will say. They are gone now.
High railroad fares, labor demands and, above
all, the competition of the movies have killed
the road. The Legitimate" theater is more,
outside of few large cities.
Let's see about it.
Within the last year Ethel Barrymore, in
~Strange Interlude," a road company; Walter
Hampden, in The Admirable Crichton"; Lunt
and Fontanne in Elizabeth the Queen" a
Shakespearean company you probably never
heard of, and Walker Whitesde, in a mystery
play, have, in points as widely separated as
Salt Lake City and Hartford, Conn. Texas and
Minnesota, drawn in sums at the box Office
which would have made Booth gasp.
Ethel Barrymore, in one performance at a
Richmond Va, auditorium, played "The Love
Duel" to 3715 people, who paid $5,783 to see
her Zone hopes they also heard herr. Walter
Hampden in Hartford, Conn. (where the last
Legitimate theater closed its doors nearly a
year ago. this Spling took in over $4,000 in
one performance. The william Thornton
Shakespearean company played Salt Lake City
for three performances and o matinee to the

The record was made in San Antonio, Tex.
where of course, the play was given in large

up 5000, and Scranton Pa, $4062

the Guild blindly. 1t paid SIS 900 week to
see Green Grow the Lilacs,' totally new
play this season, but last year the tour of
wings Over Europe" lost $4,000. The road
would have none of it.
INCIDENTALLY, the Guild expected just this
] to happen. They generally expect Shaw to
succeed and are seldom disappointed. 1.-The
Apple Cart" this last Winter, which was none
too we'll reviewed in New York, played to $22 500
during the week in Baltimore, $31 900 in two
weeks in Boston, $4,000 in Pittsburgh and
prohtably in nearly all other cities. The road
knows all about Shaw and is eager to hear his
latest words.
Figures such as these are impressive. They
certainly do not indicate that the road is dead.
and that interest in the "legitimate drama has
shrunk to the side streets off Broadway. But
they need some careful inspection. Before we
say either that the road and the Legitimate
drama are dead, or that they on the eve OF
a rebirth. it is essential to consider and anayze
the actual facts-somethng, we venture to say.

decades has had a vast deal to do with the

weekly receipts in Chicago and Philadelphia
were slightly over $40, 900. 1t did as well in
Hartford, Conn, and better in New Haven. 1t
averaged better than $4,000 for two weeks in
Detroit and did $35, 900 in Cincinnati and $780,
900 in Washington and its second week in st.
Louis. But from the larger cities business was
to be expected.
The tour of Elizabeth the Queen last Spring
averaged $4,000 weekly in receipts, playing
only in regular theaters, in larger cities, as far
West as Minneapolis, and South to Washing
ton. It's highest weekly receipts were $4,000,
and its lowest, in city badly hit by the indus
trial slump, $4,000. The first season Lunt
and Fontanne toured for the Guild in The
Guardsman' and arms and the Man." we
were riding the prosperity wave, but their aver
age receipts were only $4,000 weekly. With
Caprice" the next season they pushed this up
to $4,000. Now it is $22,000-and in the face

HOOVER GIVES
APPROVAL TO
DRY REPORT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. U.P)-
President Hoover expressed accord
with the opinion of the Wicker
sham report against repeal of the
eighteenth amendment in a mes
sage he dispatched today with the
report to congress. -=a
The commission by large ma
jority does not favor the repeal of
the 18th amendment of cure for the
inherent abuses of the liquor trat-
fic," Mr.. Hoover stated. Il am III
accord with this view" :
At the same time the President
said he saw serious objections TO
the proposed revised constitutional
amendment suggested in the report,
designed to lodge with Congress the
authority over prohibition.
Praise for the general tenor of
the document was expressed by Mr..
Hoover. He said it was a temperate
and judicial presentation, and
should stimulate the Identification
of public mind and the advance
ment of public thought.
The text of the Presidents mes
sage transmitting the Wickersham
report to Congress, in part, follows:
ITO The Congress:
"The first deficiency appropria-
ton act of March 4, 1929, carried an
appropriation for a thorough iIves-
tigation into the enforcement Of
other laws.
IN pursuance of this provision I
appointed a commission &.
THE commission considers that
the condition of enforcement of the
prohibition laws in the country as a
whole are unsatisfactory but 1t re-
ports that the federal participation
in enforcement has shown con-
tinued improvement since and as a
consequence of the Act o. Congress
of 1927, placing prohibition officers
under civil service and the Act of
1880, transferring prohibition en-
forcement from the Treasury to The
Department of Justice, and it cut
lines further possible improvement

organization and effort for enforce
ment.
~. The commission is of opinion
that there is yet no adequate OBJ
servance or enforcement.
"8. The commission is of opinion
that the present organization for
enforcement is still inadequate.
80. The commission is of opinion
that the federal appropriations for
enforcement .of the eighteenth
amendment should be substantially
increased and that the vigorous and
better organized efforts which have
gone on since the bureau of prohi-
bition act, 1927, should be furthered
by certain improvements in the
statutes and in the organization,
personnel, and equipment enforce
ment so as to give to enforcement
the greatest practicable efficiency.
40. Some of the commission are
rot convinced that prohibition un-
der the eighteenth amendment IS
unenforceable and believe that a
further trial should be made with
the help of the recommended i'm
provements, and that if after such
trial effective enforcement is not
secured there should be revision
of the amendment.
