sharp and witty lines of Gertrude
Tonkonogy's comedy will go ur-
heard. The cast numbers nine
persons. some of whom are new to
the dramatic group, but all have
captured the spirit of the play
with remarkable success.

Of the reigning Broadway hits, will
be the opening attractions of the
eleventh annual season of the
National Players to begin April %.
Constance Cummings is the
star of the New York company
of Accent on Youth" which en-
joyed the unique and pleasing ex-
perience of being neglected by the
"firSt string" critics but through
sheer weight Of merit winding its
way into the list Of ''in demand"
successes with the play brokers.
During the fourth week of the
New York run, accent on Youth"
was purchased by Paramount
Pictures for 100000 and will be
made into a picture for 1886
release.
The play expounds an interest
ing theory, i.e., that Grabbed age
and youth can live together, and
love one another. Besides its
light treatment the play has q
genuine sentimental pull epitom-
lied by one critic with this recon-
mendation: "A play that all be-
tween 20 and 80 should see. that
all over 40 should not miss"

speaking Lincoln's Gettysburg
address.
Because of the impressive
power of this, the climax of the

evening. Laughton delivers the
address very softly at first, ris-
ing to more powerful finish, but
his rendition throughout is
marked by restraint, and the con.

Major Edward Bowes, Of the
Capitol Theater, New York, is re-
sponsible for giving it a popular
ity rebirth on the radio networks.
Instead Of a hook the Major util-
ICES bell to warn the inferior
entertainers to cease and deSist.
Major Bowes is reported getting
$4,000 a week to Emcee these pro-
grams. Even though Gene Buck
reminded him last night that an
M. c.. "is only the punk that starts
off the real fireworks" Neverthe-
less, Major BoweS thinks so
much of his new air assignment
he resigned as vice president of
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, a life job
in which he was said to receive
$500 a week. He still remains as
managing-direct Of the Capitol
Theater. And his Sunday morn
ing radio programs continue.
The amateur night may prove
a blessing to the theater as a tai
ent finding method. At least it
provides new entertainers. Some
last night we're good. Some ter
rible. Some capable Of develop
ment.
Major Bowes is kindly and hu-
man director, blending his an
nouncementS with wholesome l.u-
NOR and endowing the program
with his keen sense Of Snowman
ship. Two hundred telephone
operators take message ballots
while the show is on the air and
the winners are promised con-
tracts for the RKO vaudeville
stages.
Thus one Of the theater's old
ideas, infused with a new per-
sonality, goes to the head of the
radio class. The Bowes program
last night drew pleasant wire
messages from Governor Lehman
of New York, Bishop William T.
Manning, Rev. S. ParkeS Cadman,
Rosa Ponselle, David Warfield,
Frank Crumit and Sir Gerald
Campbell. British consul-general.
Met AfterD. c. Date

four performance season here but

ANSWERS PHONE,
 BLAZE RESULTS
Fire Marshal Issues Warm ing to Housewives to
 Avoid Similar Fires

The fire department had a fire last week wherein the answering of a telephone call was responsible for the fire. The bell rang just as the lady of the houshold had some bacon on a gas range. During the conversation, the bacon blazed up. and when the lady returned to her kitchen, she found the meat in flames. She grabbed up the pan rushed 1t to the sink, where cold water was turned onto the blazing bacon. This caused more trouble. and as result a nearby curtain got on fire. The fire department was then called.
 The office of the fire marshal to- day issued a warning to house. wives to keep a box of common baking soda within reach for all such occurrences, with the top removed. And then if the fat or grease blazes up, they suggest that the soda, box and all be thrown into the kettle or pan. The soda up- on contact with the fat or grease will form a layer of foam. and smother the fire.
 Here Is what the marshaps of- flee says:
 Don't attempt to use a dish towel or cloth as they will catch fire and cause more trouble.
 Don't use cold water as the ac. tion will cause the flaming fat or grease to fly in all directions and may set fire to the clothing of the housewife, or any inflamable ma terials nearby.
 Keep the baking soda within reach, with the cover torn off, and then in case of trouble, throw it as 1t is into the burning meat.
