Parking Debate Lively
A request from w. A. Van
Duzer, Director of Traffic, for
an expression on night parking
caused long debate, w. A. Too
mey, James A. Brogan and
others urging that a no-parking
ban be proclaimed at the earliest
possible date. Martin j. Stecker,
however, offered resolution
against changing the present
parking law and that the ban be
lifted from the downtown section.
President George j. Cleary sup
ported this.
Action was deferred until the
May meeting, when members are
to submit opinions in writing.
On motion by Lawrence Nc

Attending a session Of this kind
cannot help but bring home to every
conscientious musician the realization
creep in and mar an otherwise well
thought out performance. Once at
tention is called to these errors by
man of Mr.. Stojowski's experience
and with his concise and clearly ex-
pressed remarks, the student is given
a technique of thinking that can be
applied to every number in his reper-
toire. In the informally arranged at
mosphere, with an audience of seek
ers after knowledge like himself, the
performer is nevertheless put upon his
mettle as in a concert room and the
judgment of his work has a more
professional meaning than any advice
received from teacher.
1t might almost be said that Mr..
Stojowski took his favorite expression
Of proportion in art is everything"
as the theme of his instruction, SO
often did he find the need Of recur-
ring to this motto to add further en-
phasis to his remarks. BY means of
it and with deft illustrations on the
piano he demonstrated how the eli
makes of phrases should be developed
and how a crescendo should be
brought about. He insisted on accent
as the proper method for gaining
clarity and gave expert examples Of
how tonal color was created by the
proper use of the pedal. From time
to time Mr.. Stojowski paused in his
technical explanation to speak of the
composer himself, thus uniting the
work to the man who wrote it and
reinforcing his comments by intro
ducing the personality of the author
of the number played.
Mr.. StojoWskis class was not meant
to deal with any deficiencies of meth
cd. but with a careful word here and
there he gave advice as how to prac-
tice and, without emphasis, cleverly
recommended the studies which could
serve as "the doctor" to cure the
malady. It was an evening full of
brilliant thought. highly instructive

While Mr. Lawrence should be
praised for having said his say with
minimum theatres and with little or
no fireworks, he has neglected to give
Miss Cowl one of those long, juicy
parts in which she revels. Appear
ing only occasionally, if always effec-
lively, in the kind of flowing garment
which she has made famous, Miss
Cowl speaks her speeches slowly and
beautifully, giving each syllable its
due, and building each thread of the
story into what should be magnifl-
cent whole.
Unfortunately, however, the story
does not inspire the casual observer
to enthusiastic admiration, and while
you may be interested in the various
sound mental reactions-Whlch the
medical boys say are quite correct
we doubt if you will get much enter
tainment out of them.
So far as acting goes. there are no
visible flaws. Miss Cowl and Mr..
Watson are letter perfect in their
parts, and so is Mary Philips in an
equally large role. OF the others,
Clyde Franklin is the most vigorous
and believable.
Donald Oenslagers set deserves spe-
cial mention.

and getting craZier all the time. When
somebody invited Edgar Allan Woolf
to a party, he was talking rapidly
with a group of intimates and could
only remember when he got home
that he had promised to dine with
some one on Wednesday.
He racked his brains in vain, wor-
ried bit about spending an hour or
so on the telephone, then decided
to advertise and find out who his
hostess might be. The following ad
appeared in our local paper:
Il promised to dine Of a Wednesday
with some one but have forgotten
with whom. Will you please phone
and let me know?
"(Signed) Edgar Allan Woolf."
The next day came an unsigned
telegram. 1t read:
"You promised to dine with us but
we don't want you now"
Richard Boleslavsky faced an extra
player who was required to dismount
from horse in scene from "Oper-
ator 49,"
DO you know how to dismount?"

Although the play makes no other
claim to plot than its intriguing
situation, the clever handling of this
three -and-one" theme by Miss Lo-
gan and the three young men who
make the Brothers Valois very inter-
esting persons, together with an eX-
Cellent portrayal by Mana Bryant of
the worldly mother, make this racy
bit of drama splendid entertainment
for those theater goerS who like their
theater with a bit of spice.
AS in Design for Living" all the
characters wear pajamas in one OF the
acts of the play; but, unlike the Noel
Coward piece, the theme is about four
persons who love each other a little
bit instead of being about three peo-
pie who love each other very much"

Is little more than a good prologue,
which lets you understand that Nine.
Lois ValoiS, a famous dancer. Is the
mother of three sons by three different
fathers. Each of these sons has in

of his sire. Charles, whose father was
a priZeighter, is a famous athlete;
Arthur. the son of an American busl-
ness man, is a successful banker, and
Paul, the offspring of a concert artist,
is a poet. With this family history
as a background, there enters a beau
tiful young woman in the person of
Yvonne Dallier (Jacqueline Logan

country estate by the mother, and the

Her coal black hair was braided cor

an emerald the size Of robins egg

Billie Burke, another lifelong friend,

Bara, most famous of the screen
vamps, made the fourth of this group
of old friends. Lionel Barrymore,
who seldom attends parties, came out
for this one. So did Zoe Atkins. Lou
Tellegen, who has known the famous

many old friendships.
Mrs. StoteSbury wore black lace

Each of the brothers courts the fair
visitor in his own manner. Charles,
enthusiastically played by Sherling
Oliver, undertakes to appeal to her
physically; Arthur makes love with a
stock list in one hand and the flnan-
cial section of a newspaper in the
other, and Paul would win her with
moonlight settings. poetry and music.
The outcome of it all, although 1t
may give your latent Victorian moral
sense Qf you still have one after the
second act a slight bit of a jolt now
and then, is quite satisfying from an
entertainment point of view, and that
precisely is all that it is supposed
to be.
Miss Logan, as the quest of these
three amorous brothers, plays with a
well-restrained abandon the part Of a
young woman who loves three men
differently. but loves herself most. Her
beauty, which was evident on the
screen a few years ago, is just as
apparent across the footlights. Sher-
ling Oliver almost steals the show as
Charles, the rollicking athlete who
keeps a rowing machine under his
bed. The self important young bank
Ell is well done by King Calder. Don
Darcy plays the love-sick poet with
just enough gusto to make him very
likeable, and Mana Bryant is excel
lent as the mother.

veyed as yet. let it be known that

In spite, however, of Miss CoWl,
and a very distinguished cast, includ-
ing Minor Watson, who does some in
credibly good work, this new Reginald
Lawrence play does not seem the sort
of stuff out of which successes are
made While its thesis is interesting,
and the working out of it vaguely
reminiscent of Pirandello, 1t has
neither the punch nor the heart to
grip you more than mildly, and for
the life of us We couldn't seem to
feel badly over Miss Cowl's plight.
This plight is the crux OF the
affair. Miss Cowl, who has had many
years of blissful married life with her
husband, goes out of her mind when,
at the birth of her child, she learns
that her husband has temporarily
stepped to the primrose path and
found favor in the eyes of Janet

discovering this tranSgreSsion not
only robs her of her mind but of her
child, and she goes down the years

have no business believing-the final
curtain leaving her gazing Wlstfully
