BeIasco Lights
Up With Gay
Comedy

mo More Ladies'" presented by
the Belasco Art Theater Society,
opened last night at the Belasco
and not to prolong the suspense
let US say at once that this com.
pany Of actors deserves success.
A capacity audience last night saw
a finished piece of work presented
smoothly, entertainingly and SYM
pathetically.
This play, by A. E. Thomas, con.
tains fully as much of drama as
it does OF comedy, although the
script is rich in sparkling shafts
OF wit. And the situation toward
the end, where all the conflicting
forces in this story are gathered
under one roof, is comedy only
in that it Is handled, for the most
part, with the light touch.
Centers on Modern Marriage
The play centers about the mar.
riage of a sophisticated couple-a
&C Aple who contracted a marriage
apparently with their eyes wide
open, believe it or not.
The inevitable Cor are we too
cynicaD happens and the wife
finds that her husband has been
philandering. His reactions and
hers, where the stronger emotions
begin to break through the veneer
of Sophistication, call for acting
of the highest intelligence and
the Belasco troup supplies it.
Miss Helen Kingsley, as the
modern girl who risked marriage
fully cognizant of it's pitfalls, does
a superb piece of work, playing
with perfect restraint and poise a
difficult role
Mr.. Grandon Rhodes does no
less well as the other half of this
match. And he contributes an
unforgettable Characterization of
the worried male during the final
action of the play.
Mr.. Robert G.. Pitkin, as the
Earl of Moulton, does a joyous bit
and one in which we found huge
amounts of amusement and in.
tereSt.
Miss Edith Ketchum, as Mrs.
Fanny Townsend, the modern,
plain-spoken grandmother, carries
the first act almost alone and a
good job she does of it. Her role
gives her good lines throughout
and she gets the most out Of
them.
Supporting roles are ably
handled. Foster Williams, as q
"wronged husband" Vera Tatum,
as a sort of community wife, and
Josephine Duval, as the other
woman, are outstanding.
We are glad to report further.
more that the stage settings are
in full keeping with the excellence
Of the play. They are new and

juvenile millionaire, is now to be

Home On the Range" is Wild

New News Reel

The new March of Time news
reel was unraveled for a selected
group of Showmen in the Fox Ex-
change yesterday. It proved to
be an extended footage of events
recently in the news and drama.
tized by genuine action pictures.
Its highlight was a shot of a
patriotic alien who destroyed a
Tarrytown IN. " painting which
belittled President Roosevelt and
the New Deal. The outraged alien
got six months in Jail and faces
deportation for his vandalism.
The low point was a feeble at
tempt to glorify the buns and
scum who are gathered to break
strikes. This effort to make
heroes out of thugs screens as
labor-baiting propaganda and gives
the new reel an inauspiciouS start.
Most interesting historical shot
was the pictured story of the Saar
Valley coal lands over which Ger.
many and France have long strug.
gled. Another good sequence
showed how an American arrested
for speeding in France had his
court fine applied to the American
war debt.
The preview audience seemed
to find the new reel interesting
and adult but not sensational or
