Holmes, Approaching ga, Finds
Diversion in Mystery Stories
Former Justice Silent
on His Interest in
Gold Case.
COnfesses Scant Liking
of Books of ImprOU-
ing Type.

BY the Associated Press.
While industry and the public await
the Supreme Court decision in the
gold cases, Oliver Wendell Holmes
looks to detective stories for diver
sion in his retirement.
The former justice, veteran of
many such historical disputes. may
or may not be interested in whether
the 59.06-cent dollar is constitutional
He is not saying and his secretary
has politely declined to speak on the
subject.
But as to the living Of life as one
approaches "a, that is a question on
which the justice has not become
reticent. His birthday anniversary
comes March 8.
Life Still Worth While.
"Life is an end in itself, and the
only question as to whether it's worth
living is whether you've had enough
of it" he once said.
On January IL, 1882, he handed
down his last decision in a voice
faltering with the emotion Of ending
his 90 years on the supreme bench.
But he still finds life worth living
In a pattern that he outlined to
Rosika Schwimmer, subject of one
of his famous dissenting opinions"
when she visited him two years ago.
Now that I'm retired take things
leisurely." he told her MY secre-
tary reads to me. We take little
drives. He is reading to me this
book 'Microbe Hunters biographies
of Pasteur and other scientists"
Likes Murder Mysteries.
"You enjoy it?" his visitor asked,
and with twinkling eyes Justice
Holmes answered.: Il blush to say
that nowadays I don't care to read
improving matter. I'd rather read
murder stories"
His motor trips in hired car now
often take him out Virginia way
to his wife's grave in Arlington
Cemetery, or exploring the country
near Balls Bluff, where he was
wounded in the Civil War.

MerryWives
Played With
Local Cast
Shakespeare Drama
Well Handled by
Study Society.

THE Shakespeare Society's produc-
ton Of Shakespeare's Merry
Wives of Windsor" presented last
night at st. Paul's Auditorium, was
doubly welcome. both because the play
hasn't been attempted here by local
group in the past Is years, according
to members of the society, and because
the players handled their Shakespeare
well and provided an entertaining eve
ming.
The version of the play used by the
Shakespeare Society occupies Is
scenes in 5 acts. There were no long
waits for scene shifts, though, because
the comedy was played on bare stage
with nothing but drapes for scenery.
All Of the members of the cast per-
formed smoothly and gave the audi
ence much of the amusing humor Of
the piece. J. Edmund Veitch naturally
was the center of attention, playing
Sir John Falstaff, whose attempted af-
fairs with the merry wives" provide
the comedy. He did a neat job as this
designing and asinine knave.
Ada Louise Townsend, as Mistress
Quickly, the go-between who serves
many masters and brings Sir John to
most of the grief which befalls him.
turned in perhaps the best acting in
the piece, however Her first scene and
one of her third-act scenes with Fal-
staff were two of the comedy's high
spots.
Kent Dyer, too. did splendidly as
the jealous one Of the two husbands
of Windsor, drawing much applause
for a couple of his suspicion-tortured
soliloquies.
Paul Murphy as the country justice,
Shallow; Milton Hirshfield as the
host of the Garter Inn; Yerby Parnill
as Mistress Ford; Esther Marshman,
I as Mistress Page, and Virginia True
as daughter Ann Page. are some of the
others who gave lot Of enthusiasm
and contributed carefully done per-
formances to Merry Wives Of
Windsor"
James Rawls, John Victory, Charles
A. Bell, Stanley Karmazin and Will
liam Zeller are others in the large
cast who helped.

comedy was the dance performed by

THE score of Anything Goes" still
shines. 1t is packed with melody
and we defy you to take a nap during
any one of its numerous hits. Even
that quaint little song which Victor
Moore sings at the very end-the one
with the bird call-has its very def
mite place in the sun, and while
You're the Top" may be trifle thin
at the edges this season, 1t still is as

Producer Vinton Freedley has not
stinted his production on the road.
The sets are as they were in the home
town. the costumes are fresh and
pressed and handsome and the girl
in the blue hat who stands on the
balcony is knockout.
The only thing we've ever had
against the show is that it lacks good
dancipg-but then, you can't have
everything. Either the steward or the
assistant purser or the chief officer
breaks out into a pretty good jig and
that's about all there is-except for
the chorus, which has a couple OF
pretty unimportant numbers.
Nevertheless, as we said before. you
can't have everything and Anything
Goes" is definitely one of the better
musical comedies. The book, begun
by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse
and polished off by Howard Lindsay
and Russell Grouse, is funnier than
most; Cole Porter's lyrics are Al Cole
Porter and even gowns by jenkins"
have their moments. Leslies Barrie
is still appearing nightly in his
Shorts" those two eloquent China
men, Ching and Ling, still ream the
Rev. DR.. Moon of his so bucks" and
the Rev. DR.. Moon still is a WOW at
shooting clay pigeans with machine
gun.
Somehow, with all Of this to back
it, you couldn't very well go wrong
and you won't, either, If you go to the
National this week.
