BroadlUay Comes Out or Slump With NRA
Happy Days Ahead Again for Show Business as Blue
 Eagle Screams Says Deems Taylor

New York, Nov 1.-The lights of Broadway are going to be brighter and the blue eagle is going to help, declares Deems Taylor, noted composer and critic. Movie stars are leaving Hollywood for the Legitimate stage" and. the MIRA theater code is going to accomplish some very Interesting" things, MT Taylor writes in McCalps magazine.
 "In New York, with its seventy odd theaters (not counting movie houses), in the early fall, the news papers advertised eight plays (two of them holdovers from last sea- son) and one. musical show. It looks as if the show business in this country has registered an ali- time low. If renting auitoriums, paying stage crews, and selling tickets to out-of-town buyers were all there were to the theater, one would be pretty safe in predicting its extinction by New Years. But the theater is not wholly Q busi- ness. And, curiously, during the past few months, the less 1t has looked like a business the more 1t has begun to look like an art. Things have been happening in the American theater fascinating things; and, believe, important things.
 "The most spectacular of these phenomena has been the mush- summer stock companies. Whilo some of these little theaters have died overnight, an amazing pro- vNnrffnn nf fhan1 r,ao a n Und fn rlQU out their seasons and emerge, if not with profit, at least with hon. or. They were made possible, first, by low production costs--no union stage hands, no union scene design- CTS, low rents for converted barns; second, by the fact that actors like to act. Two thousand first-rate actors must have been out of work last summer. Not all of them were in actual nede of money, but rath- CT than stay idle they preferred to play in summer stock companies that could pay them little more than board and lodging. During the summer months in New York, New Jersey and the New England states alone, there were sixty-eight summer companies, each playing in its own house, with its own cast and technical staff. Many of them confined their repertoire to plays that had already had successful runs. On the other hand, many others set bravely out to produce brand-new plays, frequently by brand-new authors. Naturally. many of the plays were bad; but many were good.
 "The road, which everybody knew was dead, shows signs of re- viving. Out-of-town theater-goers this winter are to see Katherine Cornell in Candida The Barretts of Wimpole Street and Romeo and Juliet The Theater Guild will send its productions out, as usual. Eva Le Gallienne is going out with Romeo and Julet' and Alice in Wondreland; while two heavily panoplied road companies

URGE LEGION
 WAR ON CRIME
National Committeeman Makes Suggestion For
 Small Towns

Philadelphia (UP)-Mobilization of American Legion members. In the war against prevention of crime was urged here in an article writ ten by Col Vincent R. Carroll, Ma tional executive committeeman of the American Legion, and Assistant District Attorney.
 'In many remote communities, legionnaires have served, effective ly in crime detection" Carroll wrote. "Post members have formed posses to apprehend fleeing crim- inals and, strengthened by their military training, have given other valuable cooperation to local po- lice.
 "But this service still could be more effective if they devoted their attention to crime preven- tion as well as to detection. par ticularly in the smaller communi- ties not policed with the thor oughness of 8 large city.
 "There, for example, theya might be constantly alert to detect sus- picious characters and report their presence to the civil authorities. Many crimes are averted in large cities by this unseen and generally unrecognized vigilance of metro- politan police forces"

of Uncle Toms Cabin will sally forth, headed respectively by Otis Skinner and De Wolff Hopper.
 "A year ago the motion pictures were still robbing Broadway of much of its finest talent. Now actors are coming back to the the- ater. Helen Hayes, rejecting fab ulous picture offers, joins the The. ater Guild in its production of Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scot land.' Roland Young and Laura screen for the theater.
 "The MIRA has accom- plished some interesting things in the theater. For one thing, actors, un- der the new theatrical code, are guaranteed a minimum wage twenty-five to fifty dollars a week, depending upon the Individuals ex- perience and the shows scale of prices. There are to be no more 'throw-aways'-slips of paper that look like passes and are exchange able fo rseats at reduced prices. Brokers buys are curtailed.
 "In other words, the American theater has turned some sort of corner. The American theater is going to get well, after all. When it does recover, however, 1t is not go- ing to be quite the same theater that 1t was. The theater is going to be far less centralized than 1t was. New York is not going to be the sole American producing center. The summer stock the- aters may diminis hin numbers as the need for them lessens, and as actors salaries begin to rise; but they will not disappear entirely. The road company, too, will return.
 "New blood is coming into the theater-new actors, new produce CTS, and above all, new play wrights. The expert, dramatically valueless, machine-made 'Hokum' play shows signs of dying and go- ing to heaven-meaning the mov- les.
 "If the new provisions of the MIRA code were merely a matter of agreement among the producers, one could dismiss their brave words concerning 'throw-aways and speculatQrs as meaning what similar pron6uncements have all ways meant-precisely nothing But with the government prescrib- ing not only the rules, but i've hundred dollar fine for every vio. lation of them-who knows Something may happen"

MOUNTAINS DANEC
 AIDS COLO TOWN
Event Netted Durango $50, 0,OOO-PhenOmenOn
 Thrills Tourists

Durango, Colol, (UP)-Carbon Mountain, the moving peak four miles from here, put on dance this year that has netted Durango $50,000, according to J. P. Channel secretary of the chamber of com merce.
 Approximately 5000 persons from 41 states watched the phe- nomenon during the summer. Chan nell estimated this tourist trade to be worth about $500,000 to Duran- go.
 Carbon Mountain slowly is slip ping downwarv into the Animas river valley. The movement is caused, scientists believe, by the burning of coal veins.
 Few tourists were disappointed on their visits to the mountain. It grumbles most of the day and night and occasionally puts on a spectacular show, pouring forth volumes of sulphuric smoke, or re- leasing an avalanche of rocks into the rive rvalley.

JAMES PRESTON
 STILL WITH CIRCUS
Has Toured the Country But Finds No Place
 Like Home

James Preston of Baldwin street. who has been with Ringing Bros and Barnum and Bailey Combined shows, has written to his old friends on Washington Hill, stating the troupe has just returned to winter quarters at Sarasota, Flor ida, after the most successful tour in its history.
 MT Preston manages to keep in touch with what takes place in Waterbury. He sends regrets for the folks who have been called away during his absence, and also refers to other things with a knowledge which would lead one to believe that he never left the old home scenes. He is familiar with what happens at the card tourna- ments in St Francis Xavier parish hall and speaks as though he knew from. personal observation how the different players handle the pasteboards. He concludes by asking to be remembered to May or Hayes and the rest of his friends and acquaintances in his home town, and adds that although he has seen much of the country Wa terbury has charms for him which he cannot find in any other part of the United States.
