NAuGURATED under decided

Y NAUGURATED under decidedly
adverse conditions, the Playbox
Theater began its Summer season
i with the presentation of Mrs.
Leslie Franks The Queens
Cradle" play which began its career
entitled Bootleg Babies when it
won the Midwinter competition at the
Arts Club last year.
Although Mrs. Frank has evolved
a most interesting plot and situation
in The Queens Cradle" there is def
nitely something lacking to make 1t

edy. OF satire. there is plenty. Place
babies instead of liquor under the re-
Gently repealed prohibition law and you
can imagine the possibilities or COM
edy, there is comparatively little, with
the exception of one or two lines.
The lack of this Is due entirely to
the manner in which Mrs. Frank has
built her plot, the evolution and pace
being too slow and lengthy.
Despite the difficulty of playing to
a small audience and shouting over
the pounding drops of rain and high
winds, the players really did much to

was without a flaw, as far as acting
was concerned, and Maurice Jarvis, as
King of Fertilia.
Every member in the cast, as a mat
ter of fact, knew the lines quite be-
yond an amateur excellence, with
young Isham Keith, jr.. Of Warrenton
playing Jim Blake, the Kings secre-
tary, though he would have made a
better King.
Choosing from among the long list
in the cast, those who really played
the parts given them with fervor and
excellence are Caroline Mckinley as
Mrs. Grant, Forney Reese as Lord
Lacy, Walter Studdiford and Bethene
Coe as Tony and Mimi and Eugene
Stevens as Father Dunn. The scene
of the play is laid in the island king
dom of Fertilia, where William w,

SUGAR BILL READY
FOR ROOSEVELT
Measure on Way to White
House, Where Protests
Await Arrival.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Awaiting only the signatures Of
Vice President Garner and Speaker
Rainey, the controversial sugar con-
troll bill was ready today to be trans
ferred from Congress, where it has
been under discussion for months, to
the White House for final approval.
Final action by both Senate and
House on the s-Costigan measure,
which puts a tax on sugar to raise
the price received for it by the pro-
ducer, was taken yesterday.
Protests Await Bill.
At the White House, protests were
awaiting the bill. They came from
Hawaiian, Puerto Rican and Philip
pine officials who contended the meas
ure would leave them with surplus
sugar stocks on hand; would greatly
curtail one of their chief industries
and would Wleak great damage upon
their economic status.
These protests, sent to the War
Department yesterday, were referred
to President Roosevelt and he said he
would look into them before signing
the bill.
The Senate first adopted a partial
conference report and approved a
substitute for the House surplus sugar
stock amendment which necessitated
House agreement.
Previously the House in approving
the report had adopted an amend
ment to exempt from the processing
tax, imported sugar in stock in the
United States on which the sugar
duty had been paid.
The provision was broadened by the
Senate to exempt from the processing
tax all floor stocks on hand but not
intended for resale. The House ac-
cepted this change just before ad-
Journment.
Discrimination Charged.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, and others had protested the
House amendment discriminating
against domestic sugar stocks. The
substitute was result of informal
conferences.

John Freeman White, 26, an un- employed resident of St. Johns parish house until recently, was drowned yesterday morning at North Spectacle lake, Kent, when the canoe in which he was padling overturned. He had been employ ed as a dishwasher at Ke-Mont camp.
 Only a few weeks ago, White was the recipient of what Judge Ed- ward A. Mascolo in city court said was unfair treatment, being lock- ed up in jail for several days be- fore it was found that charges of theft made against him were groundless.

 Police here today were making an attempt to locate relatives but no kin has been discovered thus far. According to police. Whites mother died several years ago.
