AMUSING COMEDY
 VERY WELL ACTED
"Aren't We All" Presented By the New York
 Actors Theater
CAPABLE PERFORMANCE

Aren't We All' filled with bright and pleasant conversation, amusing if not exciting situations, was. presented by the New York Actors Theater last night at the Waterbury Women's club. This reliable group of players gave an intelligent performance and all wore agreeably cast in the anus ing English drawing room com: edy that doesn't say O great deal but what 1t does, exceeding well l.. Frederick Lonsdale Is the author and his usual light touch and clev- CT dialogue are apparent.
 The principal figure of tho com edy is a middle-aged horo with Q penchant for stepping out. This was tho role that Cyril Maude made famous. Thomas Ruther- fund played this admirably in the present production, a difficult Job for a young man. Ills makeup and mannerisms, however, wero entirely in keeping and he gave . very careful performance as Lord Gronham. Margot Tatham was played by Mary Cullinan who also made her interpretation very con- vincing. Miss Velma Royton was most happily cast as the sprightly Lady Frinton, who got her man; Donald Arbury was Q serious and much upset Hon Willie Tathom, playing naturally and easily; Miss Eleanor Sayles knitted through her part most oxpertly; and Edward Power as Rev Ernest Lynton, VII: liam Myron and John Willocks. and Miss Sue Moultrie as the vampish Kitty Lake. all added much to tho success of the performance. James Quinn filled the butler role.
 The locale was the Mayfair sec. ton of London, the entire action taking place in Lord Grenham's house. The plot though negligible Is amusing. consisting of Q few mis- understandings that have caused q breach in tho martial relations Of tho Honorable Willie and wife With Lord Grenham, the little fixer, who in tho end gets somewhat liked himself; and as the title and con. cluding lines ask. and which the Rev Lynton so strongly resents when called "a bloody old fool' aren't we all?
 Mir Myron made announcements last night that next weeks play would be "White Collars" to bo followed by Jane Cowls success, "Art and Mrs Bottle" with tho promise of "Little Women" for the last week in october.

 Water and light services were suspended. Food and medical sup. plies for the hundreds of IT ana injured were urgently needed.
 Tho waters of the Panuco river swept to the seq, seven miles away, over what had been the poorer sec. ton of tho thriving city. Portions of the resi- sldentiai section still wero undor from six to 10 feet of water.
 Authorities feared many bodies were in ruined homes. The present death list stood at 80, but further up the Panuco and the nearby Tamesi river 1t was feared more victims would be added.

 Carey ascertaincd that none or the 1000 Americans in the Tampico area, Mexico's chief northern port and outlet for four great oil fields, were injured or killed. There was much damage to American prop erty. and the American Ward line steamship Panuco was blown aground.
 Though fortunately the known death list indicated total casualties well below those reported unohhci- ally, 1t was apparent that the material damage, at least, was not exaggerated.
 This correspondent came to Tam pico from Mexico City by air' plane.
 Tn the swiriing waters as the plane approached the ruined city many house6 were floating.
 The poorer residential district of Tampico was entirely inundated. thatehed houses were swept away by tho wind. Wooden shacks were blown down before water rose over the ruins.
