Husbands Holiday"
Well Played at Metropolitan.


CONVICTION that an honest love

finds expression in Husbands Hol-

pose to bring out, with strong erect
the reactions of individual players
in a plot which is built upon dellcate
and moving situations showing the
effects of loyalty and disloyalty;
Experiences of the wandering nus
band, who develops an 1nfatuatlon
for woman apart from the famlly
circle, and, after preparations 1or
divorce, experiences a change OF
mind, the departure Of the second
woman Unexpectedly, and the discoV-
cry that the whole incident is mis-
take are It'd in series Of incidents
closely knit and marked by dramatlc
suspense.
Pleasure is assured by the intro
duction of Mr.. Brook and Miss Os-
borne in two personalities as clear
cut and logically worked out as IL
would be possible to find in the
average screen play. The man is
represented as passing through Inc
experience of infatuation, While still
living under the influence OF the
woman that he has discarded. The
latter, unchanging in her a1ectlon,
knows of the infidelitieS Of her hus-
band, ultimately agrees TO the
divorce plan, is always supremacy
considerate, and never until the sep
aration diScloSeS her knoWled9e OF
the mans guilt. The two players
maintain self-restraint. while meet
ing their joint problem.
Mr.. Brook contributes to the story
a quiet. characteristic method. While
Miss Osborne reveals senSibllitles,
but is always the unchanging wife.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Persistency
~ is bound to achieve its reward in
sports as in other things of life.
That is to say that Gregory S. Mangin
stands in the final round of the ma
uonal indoor tennis championship
singles today.
All through his career the former
Georgetown captain has had an uphill
battle to gain recognition. Now that
he has defeated George Martin Lott, jr.,
acknowledged leader of Davis Cup
forces, in straight sets, it will be diff
cult to deny his rightful heritage.
AS the climax of the tournament
Mangin faces Francis x. Shields for
the championship laurels, formerly held
by Jean Borotra. That should furnish
gllttering fireworks in the way of
stroking
Mangin is the lone player of the
seeded group who has held his game
to 100 per cent efficiency. It may not
be amiSs to reveal that he has prepared
most 1ndustriously for this coming sea-
son on the courts. Daily he has fought
through hard sets on the courts of the
heights casino. 1t was there he learned
to change his grip, which previously
accounted for his amazing number of
nets as he volleyed.
Look at his record In this tourna-
ment. In turn he has defeated Edward
G. Tarangioll Ramey Donovan, Chris
tan BousSus, Sidney B. Wood, jr., and
lastly, Lott, the No. l seeded contender.
All have bowed in straight sets.
Mangin has learned to volley with
almost magical changes of pace. He
is one of the fastest men on the ball
now treading the courts Shields is an
entirely different type of player. The
tall Hercules of the courts depends
upon power. Shields now occupies the
position Tilden held several years ago
as the hardest hitter known to the
world.
Much Of Shields play against Berk-
eley Bell, the Texan, held its great
effectiveness in the force of its bonn
bardment. At the net he was never
as secure as Mangin. At all events.
Mangin will have the opportunity to
demonstrate his ability to overcome
power and speed.

MANG|N IS PLAYING
SHIELDS FOR TITLE
Gets His First Chance at
National Tennis LaureIS
in Indoor Meet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, March 19-Gregory
N $; Mansin Of Newark was given
his first chance at national
tennis title and possible berth
on the United States Davis Cup team
today.
The New Jersey star, playing the best
tennis of his career, stacked up against
Frank Shields of New York in the final
round of the national indoor cham
pionships.
Shields is ranked No. 8 nationally
and Mangn at No. IL, but the Newark
boy has shown fine disregard for the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tons official list in this tournament.
His first important victim was Chris
tian Boussus OF France, who succumbed
to Mangtn's spectacular play on We'd
nesday. Then Sidney B. Wood, ranked
at No. Z, found the Newark stars all
around game too much to cope with
Yesterday he entered the finals by
whipping George Lott of Chicago, No
2 IN the national rankings
And what Is more Mangin put out
these three opponents without the loss
of a set. Lott gave him fight in only
one set yesterday, the second, which
went 16 games before Mangin won it.
He took the first set, 6-1 and the
third, 60.
Shields, whose service has been
broken only once In his five matches
up to the finals. disposed of Berkeley
Bell, Ga, "a, Ga. Bell, who had
defeated Jean Borotra, defending
champion, on Wednesday played excel
lent tennis, but he couldn't break
Shields service while Shields broke
through once IN each set to gain the
advantage.
Whatever the result Of the finals It
was considered likely Mangin and
Shields would be called upon to play
singles in the international matches
against France next week. Mangin
also may earn berth on the Davis
Cup squad, perhaps as an alternate, if
he makes good showing against
Shields and in the team matches.
The doubles final brought together
the veteran combination of Lott and
John Van Ryn and the newer team of
Bell and Mangin.
