In New Play
At Irrational

j. B. Priestley, who has Just
finished a new book, Round Eng
land" and is off on travelling
holiday, tells us an extraordinary
story about his suburban comedy,
"Laburnum Grove" which is COM
ing to the National Theater,
Washington, for a week commenc-
ing New Years Eve, with matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
In the play, Melville Cooper
scores what is most certainly the
best success of the evening after
Edmund Gwenn, as sponger
from "Out East" who insists on
eating bananas all day and leaving
the skins about the room.
The humorous realization of
this character, by both author
and actor, is one of the prettiest
things in the play, and one might
have imagined it to be one of the
basic concepts. Now ]. B. Priest
ley tells us that Mr.. Cooper's role
was nonexistent when he first
drafted the play, and only as
sumed it's present magnitude after
number of rehearsals. Like q
rolling SNOWFALL. Melville Cooper's
part got steadily larger as the
production date approached.
This used to be the way most
English plays were written-at
any rate, it was quite common to
word them and shape them on the
stage during the spa :ouS days of
Queen Victoria. Nowadays, on
the contrary, it is more common
to have young authors refusing
to let comma of their work be
altered nnce it leaves the study.

AWAIT
SPEED CLASSIC

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May %.
Thirty-three sleek racing cars
will start tomorrow in the twenty
second annual 500 mile automo-
bile classic on the Indianapolis
motor speedway here.
The starting field was selected
with completion of the time trials
late yesterday. Among the SO
drivers who will compete in the
Memorial Day classic is Louis
Meyer, the Southgate, Cal. pilot,
who has twice won the long grind
first in 1923 and again last
year.
While mechanics and drivers
were tuning up the cars today,
squads of workmen were prepar-
ing the speedway grounds for an
expected crowd Of 100000 spec
tators.
OF the 80 cars qualified, 81
are powered by gasoline motors,
while two are driven by oil burn
ing engines.
Kelly Petillo, Los Angeles pilot,
made the fastest time of the
qualifiers, thereby cinching the
pole position for the start.
Fred Frame, veteran driver from
Los Angeles, went out of the race
yesterday when his car swung
out of control with a broken
steering arm and crashed into a
retaining wall coming into the
stretch. He and AL ThieSen, his
riding mechanic, were shaken up,
but they were not injured.

Barney Was Equipped
It looked to me, sitting there
just seven rows from the edge
of the canvas, that Barney Ross
had everything last night.
Ross got the better Of the in

miss on the average of three
times out of every four. The

out. He won the first two, lost

three to McLarnin. The ninth
was even.
Now do not get the impression
from such a lopsided score that
it wasn't a good fight; because
it was a. splendid contest
throughout. McLarnin was in

all those rounds and in several

Fifteenth Furious
Particularly in the fifteenth,
when Ol Pop Foster must nave
told him he was behind, did he
make a furious but futile bid.
The tiger in him flashed bril-
liantly, but his strength had
been wasted in the previous
rounds and his feet scraped

blow on Ross, Barney's as.

head came with machine-gun
rapidity and precision and
Jimmy McLarnin commenced
to tire midway of the battle.
A badly cut eye affected his
sight from then on, but he
fought back with all he had'
little as it was at times.
Talk of Return Bout
There is talk of a return en-
gagement for Chicago this sum-
mer, the Windy City being the
home of the victor. The fight
was one of those clean-cut en-
gagements mindful of the Terry
McGovern days. Only twice
did the referee have to warn
McLarnin about erratic blows
and it was quite clear these
were unintentional. In the
ninth, both boys were down,
but not for so long as it takes
to toll a single count.
It was a good fight with the
most deserving man winning.
It was a great tribute to the
Milk Fund under whose man
agement it was staged. Many

less than half as many GUS
