Its production here will accurate
ly approximate the original William
Brady presentation in New York.
The entire action of the play takes
place in front of New York walk
up apartment-an ancient town
house of the brownstone front
variety that has become one Of the
cheaper tenements in a poor quarter
of the city.
Its many families and several OF
the paSsersby are casually In
troduced throughout the play.
AS If standing on the street
corner, one sees the various events
of their hves-both tragic and comic
occur swiftly and dramatically,
often involving the other persons
and equally often having no effect
on the others.
Intermingled with the tragedies of
the piece are the humor of gossip
ing tongues and the eccentricitieS
Of dress, speech and manners.
Frances Dale IS to portray the
leading feminine character as Rose
Maurrant. Yvonne Stebbins, who
made her debut with the Casey
company in up Pops the Devil
has the role Of Roses mother. Don
aid Woods inpersonates Frank
Maurrant, and Freddie Sherman
has the important role of Sam
Kaplan.
Annabelle Nation, who was last
seen in Indianapolis as the comic
maid in Stuart Walkers production
Of tits a Wise Child" several weeks
ago, will appear prominently; Mil
ton Byron, who was leading man
with the Berkell players, has a
character role, and william Craigle,
youthful protege of Stuart Walker
and George SomneS, takes active
part In the cast. VIII Lloyd, Carl
Brickert, his daughter Dorothy
Jane Wheatley, Dick Elliott and
many others also have roles.
Among the players imported from
the east by Arthur Casey for his
production Of Street Scene" are
Eleanor Wesselhoeft, who created
and played for two years the role
of Greta In the New York con-
pany; Dora Merande, who played
the role of Mrs. Jones In the tour
ing company which presented the
play here at the English last year;
Mischa Ferenzo. Italian comedy
character star, and Roy La Rue, who
played the city marshal in william
Brady's Boston production OF the
play.

Although the players deserve a
lot of credit for giving their time to
making the scenery, reheaFsals and
the like, yet the biggest credit goes
to Mrs. Bess Sanders Wright who
has directed all plays for the past
three years.
I feel that 1t was her idea which
resulted in this contest by the SEN.
Tors having been started. She. has
done remarkable things with these
young people and she has in two or
three instances presented boy and
a girl with splendid dramatic posi-
bilitieS. A..
Mrs. Wright and others of the
faculty deserve praise for giving the
drama in definite place in the ex-
periences of the seniors of that fine
high school.

effect on pictures in general.
In THE Public Enemy" which is
the current attraction at the Apollo
theater, movie traditions are thrown

Contrary to what has been here
tofore depicted in motion pictures,
women play small part in the I'M

the most notorious Of gangsters, but
she has nothing at all to do with
his business. Another ruthless killer
who was recently shot in his flower
shop was a home loving person.
His tenderness toward his mother
was one of his strongest charac>
teriStics. Away from her he was
one of the most vicious gangsterS
ever known to the business. The
women in the case are usually wide

gagged in. The code Of gangland

Coan is the fifth and final entrant in the limited field which will in- clude Ray Conger, Illinois A. C.; Leo Lermond. Boston A. A; George Bullwinkle, c. c. N. Y., and Gene venzke, Swedish American A. Q. Every man in the field except Bull- winkle has run the mile in compe- tition under 4:14 and track followers believe that the meeting of the five stars will produce Q new world in- door record.
 The Record Holders
 The present record of 4:12 was established by Paav0 Nurmi, at Buff falo, N. Y., on March 2, 1925 and equalled ten days later by Joie Ray of Chicago in old Madison Square Garden. At that time 1t was predict ed that the record would stand for all time and five years of strenuous competition have failed to eclipse the standard.
 Coan's subsequent indoor appear ances. in which he helped the Uni. versity of Pennsylvania relay team establish new world record for a mile-and seven -eighths and estab. fish new I. c. A. A. A. A. mile rec ord have led his coach, Lawson Rob. ertson, to believe he can come through with a victory.
 Conger, whose loss to Goa at the Melrose games last week, was his only defeat at the indoor mile in three years. has trained carefully for the Columbian mil and doubtless will be the favorite to win.
 Out For Revenge
 Lermond, American two-mile champion, formerly was Conger's most persistent rival at the mile and has bright hopes of averaging some of his defeats. His coach. Jack Ryder of Boston, says "the other runners will have to better the world record to beat Leo."
