FIGHT MAY CLEAR.
AIR ON BROADWAY.
Kirkland.Watts Battle Re.
calls III Feeling of
Others on Stem.
BY DALE HARRISON,
Associated Press Staff Writer


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Some times,
like Thursday night, a little thunder
shower clears the air, even the funny,
dizzy. dopey air that Broadway
breathes.
So they are saying tonight that
aside from the purely physical dis
comfort that may have been suffered
by the principals, the dinner hour
alteration Thursday between Jack
Kirkland, dramatist, and Richard
Watts, jr., critic. may prove to have
been. like the thundershower, all for
the best.
Men of the Broadway theater and
the writer's of dramatic criticism have
rarely been chummy. The former
often feel that the critics are .un-
necessarily bitter in their comment.
The latter often remark that the for
mer are foisting tripe across the foot
lights.
Other Overt Acts.
Not within the memory of man had
the strained relations come to the
point of open warfare until Mr.. Kirk
lind, who dramatized Tobacco Road, u
and more recently "Tortilla Flat
went listing for Mr.. Watts, who Is
critic Of the New York Herald Tribune
But there have been overt acts none
theless.
In their day the late Percy Ham,
mond tMr. Watts predecessor, Alex
ander Woollcott. George Jean Nathan
and others have been told by producers
never to darken their theater doors
again.
Percy Hammond was barred from
Shubert theaters because. in writing
about Shubert musical show, he
commented at the end of his review
I'm looking over my review OBJ
serve that have knocked the music
the acting. the production. the plot
the lyrics and everything except the
chorus girls knees; and nature has
anticipated me there"
Quite = Furore.
This occurred in Chicago. and there
was quite a furore. 1t was shortly
afterward that Mr.. Hammond wa.
brought to New York by the Herald.
Tribune and the Shubert ban was
dissolved.
James Whitaker. who was critic OF
the New York Daily News, was for
hidden entrance to a chain OF Broad
way theaters because he referred in
review to one theater as q
"mausoleum'
George Jean Nathan was barred for
a time from the Erlanger- controlled
theaters; and Alexander Wooicott was
denied entrance to several playhouses
when he was writing reviews for the
old New York World.
Several producers have expressed
disgust with the critics from time to
time. though none has been as two
listed about it as Mr.. Kirkland. who
boiled over because of reviews shout
"Tortilla Flat" of which he is both
the playwright AND part producer.
Assisted BY Critic.
Brock Pemberton burns the writer's
with acid remarks now and then.
Elmer Rice. playwright-lroducer and
now novelist. said some pretty cutting
things. A nice little anti-climax to
that episode was that Mr.. Rice's son
Robert was assisted into a newspa per
job by critic and now is an assista mt
drama critic on the New York Morn
ing Telegraph.
Jed Harris, producer Of Front
Page" Broadway" The Royal Fam
ily," "Coquette." and many other
plays, told Ward Morehous+ of the
New York Sun only this week.

public schools here, graduating from
Central High. She married Mr.. Cans
in 1901.
Mrs. Cans was the sister of the late
Col. Arthur Barton Of this city, whose
widow now lives in Ithaca, N. Y, and
of the late Dr. william M. Barton,
for many years prominent physician
here. She leaves no children.
Funeral arrangements had not been
completed late last night.

their reviews are silly and stupid. I
get laugh when I look through my
scrapbook. Critics don't have to pay
for their mistakes; and heres no
denying that what they write has an
immediate effect upon the seat buying

March Takes Beating.
AT least one actor-producer. how
ever, was taking a critical beating
with good grace. That was Fredric
March. who opened during the week
with "Yr Obedient Husband" The
critics didn't like it, and said so; and
the show closed tonight.
Announcement Of the closing was a
special advertisement in today's pa
pers. 1t was drawing showing a
man on trapeze, and another man
flying through the air, having missed
catching on. The man on the ira
peze, who was supposed to have been
the catcher" is saying: "Oop-
sorry"

at the bottom these names:

He could not have better chosen his
words; they we're just of that kind
which delighted Trevvy's heart. The
submerged Musketeer came to life.

but that wavy graying hair. the clas

look cluttered and spotty.
Dark areas can be used effectively
for occasional strong" effects, when
the photographer is shooting into the
light, with tree trunks in silhouette
and long shadows coming fanwise to-
ward the camera. When making pic
lures like this, choose position where
one of the shadows falls on the camera
lens, 50 that the sun does not shine
into the camera. Pictures will also be
brighter, more sparkling. if a lens hood
is used to keep sidelights from striking
the lens.
Shadows are important to snow pic
lures and they require use of yellow
filter - otherwise. they may appear
faded in the picture, or sometimes dis
appear entirely.
Pictures of unusual charm can be
made while snow is falling, Shutter
speeds of l/25 or 40. or very short
time exposures, are necessary if the
snow is to appear to be in motion.
More rapid shutter speeds freeze"
the flakes in mid-air and they look
like mere specks in the print.

sally forth to capture the sparkle and
charm, the wonder and magnificence
of white new world.
Things most commonplace take on
a new appeal beneath this soft lumi-
nous mantling. The picture shown here
is splendid example of how snow can
give charm to an otherwise dull scene.
So new, so bright is this wonder
world that the snapshooter must ap-
proach it with caution. There is one
requirement in virtually every snow
picture and that is delicacy Of arrange
ment and texture. And texture, when
the snow is brightly lighted by the sun,
can be preserved only by reduced ex-
posure. On most sunlit snow pictures,
exposure should be cut in half - that
is, to about + Is and 1850 second in
midday, or the second largest opening
if the worker uses box camera. In
early forenoon or late afternoon, nor
NAL exposures can be given.
Snow shows the greatest sparkle and
brilliance when it is sunlit but the
mood of winter can often best be
expressed when the day is gray. And
in this case normal exposure can be
used.
In arranging his picture, the camera
worker should be careful not to in
clude too many things, people, trees or
buildings, in one picture. If too much

Yes, the lynching bill was de-

been, but, at what a price!
Thirty days of lost time and
$46O,OOO.
When you come down to the
real facts, wasn't the antilynch-

Now what do the Negroes
think of it? Does adding half
a-million dollars to the public
debt, which is shared by Negroes
and whites alike, help them
any?
Doesn't the Negro know that
no law will stop lynching2
Laws didn't stop people from
drinking or making liquor. And
with lynching on the decrease,
no new laws seem necessary.
