LITTLE THEATER NOTES

Waterbury is still exclaiming with enthusiasm over "The Pirates of Penzance" and it would seem that the high spot of the Little Theater season had been reached, but the best is yet to come and Miss Schoeni is able to announce that Nora Fauchald Morgan and Harold Ashworth, have consented to take the leading roles in Mol- mars delightful comedy, "The Guardsman." This Is a doubly interesting announcement because the play itself is a masterpiece of comedy and was the theatrical success of 1924 as played by Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne and Mrs Morgan and MT Ashworth are players of exceptional distinction and charm, as Is well-known to Little Theater audiences. They have also a very fine supporting cast. Joseph Mulcahy, who was the captivating butler in The Plays the Thing" (also by Molnar) will take the part of the critic. Miss Mollie Cullen, who will be re- membered for her excellent com edy work in "Under the Gas Light" will take the part of Mamma" AL 6O All LAO Chot aL U NAlo AO"Ao A<hu ria, Mrs Adele Jenks and Donald Dunne. Production is scheduled for April 25th and 26th at the Wo- mems club. The board wants to have the last public play before daylight saving time goes into ef- feet on April 30th with the pos- sible exodus into the country in- duced by light evenings.
 
 Every play has it's technical dif- ficulties. Miss Schoeni, who is 6 stickler for exactitude in sets and props. often runs into prob lems through an insistence on the right thing. In ''The Guardsman" European tile stove is to be made to give more flavor and reality to the Viennese home of the actors. To carry out the idea of the usual bad taste of the successful actor who has risen from a simple bour- geoisie and desires pretentiousness rather than beauty and costiliness rather than comfort, the prop com mittee will be put to 1t to find ex-

As in all worshop events, the technical end will be subordinated to the acting and play values. This particular worshop will be study in national or racial temperaments and dia- 1ects. The bill will comprise an all negro cast in play of southern locale and an all Italian cast in a Neapolitan one-act ply. The third feature on the bill will be by the Cheshire players in an O'Neill sea play with Q Swedish flavor.

But the intrusion of a wealthy local girl with designs on Glynn, almost robs the girl of her new-found happiness

Irene Dunne in
 No Other Woman
Strand Offers Barrymore in ''TOpaze" as Co-
 Feature

Irene Dunne, Charles Bickford and Gwili Andre give a new serve to the eternal triangle with the vitality and realism of their per- formances in No Other Woman which plays two-day engage ment at Warmers Strand on Sum- day and Monday.
 "No Other Woman" is a real and morals, full of romance, con- flict, intrigue and humor. J. Wal ter Ruben directed. Wanda Tuch- ock and Bernard Schubert have written a closely knit screen play from the play "Just a Woman" by Eugene Walter and q story by owen Francis. Other excellent performances are given by Eric Linden, young Buster Miles, Leila Bennett and Christian Rub.
 The companion feature pre- sents John Barrymore in "Topaze."
 The story tells how Professor Auguste Topaze, innocent, naive and of simple soul, is suddenly transplanted from his classroom to the exaggerated excitement of the type of drawing room that has spun glass wall paper and in which lounges the enchanting Myrna Loy.
 The climax finds our professor outwitting the scoundrels who tried to capitalize on his simplic- ity and honesty, which they mis- took for. idiocy. And, of course. he captures the lovely Myrna.
 Brilliantly acted, with an sexcep- tionally beautiful mounting and expert direction, "Topaze" has a French savor that is distinctly re- freshing and gay.
 Besides Barrymore, who has never been more delightful, and Miss Loy, who has never been so naive, the cast includes Reginald

pitched to the tragedy of this heart-hungry girl and the man she loves.
 To the role of the girl, Sylvia Sidney imparts the lustrous charm of her personality. She makes the small, storm tossed character a real. living being, aching for love and finding it, almost to lose it's precious reward at the last mo- ment. Raft, the suave and some- what sinister performer, is a rev. elation in "Pick Up." He matches his superb performance in Night After Night" giving a genuine portrayal of the taxi driver, un- tutored yet ready for love, crude yet decent, despising "pick ups" yet loving this girl enough to make her his wife in spite of her past.

There was a time when one de-
cided whether or not the icebox
needed defrosting by looking at the
amount of frost and icebergs that
had accumulated in the general vi
cinity of the cream and eggs, but
that's all changed now The MOD
ern iceboxes are equipped with d
system of traffic signals which tell
you at a flash what's going on in
side the box. The signals have
nothing to do with the converse
ton being exchanged between the
cold corned-beef hash and the
Thursdays cabbage, but rather
with the temperature and frost ex-
tent.
In other words, red light shin
ing outside the box indicates stop

would start his ace pitcher, Carl
Hubbell, in the opening game, fail
ed to bulge the world series betting

Even Terry's implication that he
might call upon the lean Oklaho-

the odds makers. The Giants were
10 to 7 favorites to capture the
opening game at the Polo grounds
tomorrow, indicating the awe in
which baSeballs current greatest

Today'S one major development
in the world series situation was
the start of single game tickets.

SLIGHT GAIN
REPORTED IN
FARM PRICES

The general level of prices paid
to California farmers for agricul-
tural commodities in August, 1888
was 676 per cent of the average
maintained during the period from
July 1910 to June 1915, and repre-
sented a gain of 1876 per cent from
the low point reached in April of
this year, according to Leroy Holt,
vice president of the local branch
of the Bank of America.
The index of prices received by
farmers in the entire territory OF
the United States in August 1885
was TIC per cent of the July 1910
June 1915 average, a gain of 44.9
per cent over the low point in Feb
ruary, 1888
From 1910 to 1915, California
farm prices were comparatively sta
BILE" Holt explained, From 1915 to
1920 prices received for farm pro-
duce increased rapidly with prices
in the United States as a whole pre-
ceding the rise in California farm
prices.
THE peak for California farm pri-
ces was reached in March, 1920
when index figure was 112 per cent
higher than the 1910-1915 level. The
United States index was highest III
June, 1920, when the level was
1926 per cent higher than the 1910
1915 average.
During the next four years, farm
prices in California declined to a
level about 40 per cent above the
July 1910-June 1915 average. This
level was maintained until 1929
when prices began to fall rapidly.
I'm California, average farm pri-
ces in the year beginning July /
1882, were 81 per cent below the
1910-1915 level. In this same period
farm prices for the United States
as a whole were "A per cent below
the 1910-1915 average.
Farm prices in California tend tic
lag behind the United States pri-
ces in both upward and downward

is not only willing but anxious to
climb way out on limb and pre-
dict New York victory in a seven
game series.
It's perfectly true that Washing
ton is supposed to have better in
field, three votes to one, and a bet
ter outfield, 2 to l. It's true that
WaShingtoE's batting averages
clearly shade those of the New
Workers. Offsetting these advan-
tages is the fact that New York
pitching, solely because of Hubbell's
superiority over Crowder, White
hill, or any of the other Washing
ton FINGERS, is good But for a we'll
rounded club, Washington seems to
be it. So why pick New York? SIM
ply because of that something
which is summed up in one word :
spirit"
Washington has fighting team,
but the power and drive that brought
the Giants, club almost universal
ly tagged for the second division,
into the National league champion
ship, seems to this writer to be
enough to push them safely through
the series.
Besides, while the Washington
batting averages are higher, the
Giants, notably their fiery leader,
First Baseman Terry, have that de-
lightful knack of making hits when
they count.
The Giants look like a happy
choice because Lady Luck has been
travelling with them all season. This
doesn't seem the time for her to

HAY GROWERS
EXPECT CODE
F0R|NDUSTRY
BY J. S. CAMERON

The hay growers Of Imperial VAL
ley are looking anXiouSly toward
Washington with a sincere expec-
tation that code for growers and
dealers will be brought forth and
that such code will put the indus
try on it's feet. This much-hoped-
! for instrument has been proposed
and prepared and is now being con-
sidered by the department of agri-
! culture.
In order that this code and agree
ment may be an accomplished fact,
some evidence of the community
activity in its behalf, an activity on
the part of all alfalfa growing COM
munities for that matter, should be
under way, and the department OF
agriculture thereby convinced that
such assistance from the depart
| ment is necessary.
In view of this condition a mem
bership agreement is now in circu-
lation and by signing such argee-
ment the alfalfa grower will be adj
ding his contribution to the good
cause. Il a.
Those who sign the agreement
declare that they favor and will
support an alfalfa marketing agree
ment for alfalfa hay producers in
Southern California and Arizona,
and that when such agreement is
finally adopted and is signed by the
secretary of agriculture, that they
will voluntarily sign marketing
agreement which will make them
bonafide members of the Alfalfa
Producers, Inc, and such other doc
uments as may be directed by the
secretary of agriculture to carry
out the purposes of the marketing
agreement.
This declaration of purpose is in
circulation throughout Southern
California and Arizona and is de-
signed to give strength and support
to the project as well as give sane
ton to the activities of the group
of men who contributed their time
and effort and money in getting the
organization of the industry under
way The agreement is available for
signature at the office of the I'M
perial Hay Growers Association,
Dunlack hotel, Brawley.
The committee that formulated
the code consists of representatives
from II hay growing districts with
committee of dealers. H. A. Has
tain, president of the Imperial Hay
Growers association is chairman OF
this committee.
Not only the alfalfa hay growers
but all agriculturafists have come
to the point where the long, strong
pull is necessary. If the secretary or
agriculture can be assured of the
accord and enthusiasm of the alfal-
ia producers there is every reason
to believe that new hay day is at
hand.
