roles Just remember they have their
side of the question. too. And when
they are perfectly willing to be taken

you may know they are fighting for

be entertained unless the players in
a picture give good performances.
And that's virtually impossible if they

however, a humorous and natural
sketch consisting of matter-of-fact
lawyer, his literary-minded wife and
burnt toast. John Mann, who broke
rib yesterday afternoon but gritted
his teeth and furthered the cause of
drama anyhow, and Elinor Cox
Karsten turned in pair OF truly
commendable performances.
The other new one-act play, Il
Shall be Waiting" by Florence r.
Kahn. has a lot of rather good
dramatic meat to 1t, dealing as it
does with mother love, a son in prison
and daughter who tries to keep the
Imprisonment a secret from the blind
mother. This was performed by Mrs.
Karsten, as the mother: Mildred
Baitz, as the daughter; John Mann,
as the son (the rib seemed to be
holding him a bit in check and Mil
ton Hirshf1eld and Andrew Dent in a
pair of natural performances.
The other piece on the program.
"Overtones" by Alice Gerstenberg. Is
an engrossing affair with keen in
sight into the vagaries of the feminine
mind. Toni Sorel (who has a nice
voice. and Yerby PanEill. one OF the
more accomplished Of the local play

were Edythe Goldman and Constance
