the Will come back on the |
road" is not shared by this writer.
Expenses on the road are too
great.
And public taste on the road for
"fiesh-and-blood" plays has been
lost.
The newer generations in the
smaller cities never have seen a play
except, perhaps. in metropolitan
centers.
There are exceptions to the rule.
tKatherine Cornell and George M.
Conan are such exceptions this year.
Such exceptions always will occur.)
Likewise. a play which has a semi
religious appeal. such as Green

vided II has universally.
Some places objected to It as BIAS
phemous (although vhy Is beyond
this writer. The same objection,
however. was held In the beginning

Toms Cabin" OF course, has been
played oftener.
Richberg
The labor attack IN Donald r.
Richberg Is certain to have some ef-
feet in congress.
His making Of speeches before
various industrialists at every OPP
portunity Is offering an opening TO
attack. OF course, presumably upon
presidential orders, he Is trying TO
win complete cooperation from the
industrialjsts for the administration.
Labor says II Richberg were back
in washington attending to bust
ness instead Of making speeches the
country would be better Off"
But then, when Richberg Is back
in Washington, labor objects to his
efforts there.
Labor's thoughts On Richberg are
phrased apparently by the Nation:
Lifted to responsibility and vested
with power. Mr.. Richberg almost i'm
mediately broke with his past. He
was general counsel for the rail-
road brotherhoodS). Since then he
has exerted endless ingenuity in
contriving one argument after an
other to disprove the right Of trade
unions to profit by their guaranty
of collective bargaining. In less than
two years he has emerged as the
spokesman OF Jul most reactionary
employers. 49,"
New HOUSE for King
Since we are speaking Of Eng
land, we shall tell Of that new
house to be built and given TO
King George (and his successors)
by the tradesmen to the royal fam
lily.
The London Daily Express gives
this interesting account Of this
unique gift:
"A wonder house. comprising ev-
erything that Is most modern in
design, construction and equipment,
is TO be the jubilee gift OF the
Royal Warrant Holders Association
to the King.
1T will be known as The Kings
House.
Famous architects are to com-
pete for the honor of designing the
house. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

British Architects. will advise on
the design to b. selected.
The association will provide an
endowment fund TO relieve the
property Of any charges In per-
petuity.
The king has approved the Sc
lection OF a site, which Is on the
south side of London.
Sir Duncan Watson. president Of
the association, said. in an inter-
view last night:
THE house is going TO be within
reach Of London, in a charming
spot, presented by a peer who Is
associated with the Royal Warrant
Holders Association.
Everything Is 70 be Of the finest
design and construction.
1.-The question OF cost really does
, not arise. The house will be the
last word In efficiency and equip
ment.
THE house will be absolutely at

the tenant Is concerned.
THE position has been specially

II be possible for the view from the
residence TO be disturbed.
"'It Is hoped that the foundation
stone will be laid early in the new
year
When the proposal TO build the
house first became known, many
offers OF land were received by the
! association from well-known pco-
pie. including a number OF peers.
The Royal Warrant Holders AS
ISOLATION consists of tradeSmen TO
the court. IL has a membership OF
about 1900.
This year it commemorated its
centenary.
"A small news agents shop has
the right TO use the royal arms, and
among other traders who hold the
warrant are a lamprey pie maker
and a horse milliner' whose privi-
leee IL is to supply rosettes and
ribbons for the decoration OF the
royal coaches.
The association has been re-
sponSible in recent years for ac-
tons in the chancery division

use OF the royal arms OF devices
resembling them.
