When one Bertrand Wedge of Woodbury refused yesterday to be left holding the bag, literally to, 68, of Al Union street, was arr rested by Detectives Edward Me- Elligott and Cornelius Shannahan on the charge of violating the pawnbroker's law. Wedge admit ted to Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummel that the bag was his property and he wanted 1t, but he also wanted the wearing apparel that was in 1t when he entrusted 1t to the care of MT Pinto. The bag without it's former contents was no bargain to him. Having no aseurance that the present unusual winter weather would prevail he would have need for some of the personal effects that he insisted he had when the visited Pinto.
 Pinto was arrested on November 18th when a young man named Thomas Dillane complained to the police that he had borrowed dol lar from the accused and had de- posted with him set of machin- ists' tools. When he returned to claim the outfit Pinto claimed that he had sold them to another dealer iu second hand goods.

SPEED PLANS FOR CIVIC CHOIR FESTIVAL
SATIRlC COMEDY
 IS WELL ACTED
Little Theater Presents "The Truth About
 Bayds"
CHARACTER COMEDY

The Blayds family as pictured by A. A. Milne were presented to the public last night at the Wo- mems Club auditorium in a clever portrayal of the excellent comedy, The Truth About Blayds." This was the second public performance by the Little Theatre group this season. The audience was large and highly appreciative of the fine character of the performance. An impressive set showed a room in Blayds' house in Portman Square
 The thing that Stands out in this comedy is individual character portrayal. The plot is clever, 1t is true, with a typical ingenious Milne twist, but 1t is a satirical comedy of character portrayal pri- marily. Satire is perhaps one of the most difficult things to handle by any group of actors Those se- various roles most capably. While went to Eelanor Johnquest as 1so- bel Blayds, and Raymond litter ington as A. L. Royce, 1t was, for the most part, share and share alike; and the seven major charac- ters were exceptionally well done.
 With the exception of one main character, A. L. Royce, and a minor one, Parsons, the maid, played by Edith Stanley, the rest of the cast are members of the Blayds family, Q family famous be- cause of it's veteran member, Oliver Blayds, the poet, ninety years of age, and played to the very year by William D. Pierson. MT Pierson appears only In the first act, but his presence is such that he dominates the entire play: this short but excellent portrayal of old Oliver Blayds stands out as one of the fine pieces of acting that the Little Theatre has offered from time to time. In makeup, voice, and mannerisms, MT Pierson coulo hardly be improved.
 Isobel Blayds, as the faithful daughter, who gives up happiness in marriage to cater to a famous poet and his whims, was given sincere and honest portrayal by Eleanor Johnquest. On her shoulders falls the burden of tell ing the rest of the family the truth about Bladys. Sharing honors with her was Raymond Titterngton as A. l.. Royce. William Blayds- Conway, son -in-law of Oliver, and faithful secretary, who perhaps suffers more from the truth" than the actual members of the family, was played by Percy Leaper. who gives many fine bits of acting. His wife, Marion Blayds-Conway. the most hopeful of the Blayds, and the one who can least understand that there is no longer 8 Blayds tradition to live up to, was well acted by Mrs Josephine Canty, her simple, trusting soul attitude being most convincing.
 The younger generation were represented by Eben Webster and Margaret Adams. who played old Oliver's grandchildren, Oliver and septima Blayds- Conway, with a spirit of youth in rebellion against an old tradition that allows them no freedom. Young Oliver must be a politician. for which he has no taste; Septima would like to branch out on her own, but among the Blayds there is always grand father" to be reckoned with. After the passing of the poet Oliver. however, comes the ironic twist, and one finds the Blayds trying to

BRIDGE CONTEST COMES TO CLOSE
 THIS EVENING
C CulbertsOn Still Leads There Is More Fun Out side the Playing Room Than Watching the Game
By H. ALLEN SMITH Limited Press Staff COrrespondent)

\Outcu IrcSS SNtn SOEICSPOhuClVJ
 New York, Jan 7-(UP)--May- be you'd call 1t late start, as the fellow said when he left at 5 o'clock to catch the 5 o'clock train but Sidney Lenz and Commander Winfield Liggett bore down last night in the Culbertson-Lenz con- tract bridge scuffle and chopped 5,4O5 points off Ely Culbertson's lead.
 Culbertson came up smiling but he knew-and he admitted it-he had taken licking. His state- ment to the press, however, was succinct. "They held the cards" said Ely, they just held the cards"
 Culbertson started the evening with an importer, Howard Schen- ken, as his partner. And he started 14,175 points ahead of Lenz and Liggett. Schenken just couldn't stand up under the Kibitzers. Af- ter seven rubbers had been played. with only six more to be run off tonight to end the contest, Ely and Howard found themselves beaten down to a lead of S,770 points.
 Let us now leave the actual playing room for a moment and tell about the Kibitzers. Tonight is the last night CD and this cor respondent, though his ankles are very strong, will wear wooden shoes, come what may. If last eve- ning's session may serve as a cri- terion, there will be 8 Union Square communist riot no later than 9 p. m. tomorrow.
 The Kibitzers were led by Charles M. Schwab, who remarked as he peeped around the Chinese screen:
 Prosperity is just around the corner"
 Next to him stood Grantland Rice, Judge Joseph Corrigan and two other supreme court justices Rube Goldberg, Cyril Tolley and Damon Runyon.
 Would you mind," said Run yon, "getting off my hoof?"
 Who's hoof?" asked Cyril Tol- ley, as though he were replacing divot.
 Flush up," said Runyon, "be- fore you get put out"
 Outside in the press room your correspondent was i'll at ease. Peo- pie in double wingback collars, claw-hammer coats were amusing themselves by performing hand springs.
 This sort of thing went on all evening. But in the meantime, hoping to keep from being crushed to death, your correspondent stepped out of the hotel for bit. When he returned he stepped into an elevator and said, absent-mind- edly:
 "Five-doubled and redoubled."
