lighting effects which accented the

during intermission was by the Federal
Theatre Project orchestra conducted by
Chester Mason.
Much credit is due the research of
Director Ralph Coleman who dared the
storm of adversely to bring this play to
Boston after its previous rejection by
Puritanical opposition which spurred
him to work the group into the last and
most brilliant dramatic production of
the Federal Theatre season by every
individual actor and actress giving of
their best to show the brass hats their
birthright
The play, written by Hughes Allison,
scholarly young colored playwright,
deals with the prosecution of DIR. John
Beck for the murder of his wife on the
theory that he, being light complexion
ed, preferred the company of a fair
paramour to his dark skinned wife. The
plot mercilessly exposes racial and So
cialogical theories peculiar to the color
ed race and deity argues the pro and
con of intra-racial prejudice. Much of
the medical testimony is brutally frank
for the sensationalIy minded. The
thrills appear in rapid succession and
the curtain closers are all hair-raisers
eliminating in logical announcement
which surprises everyone in the theatre.

She turned again to the passage
which had excited this comment,
and read it slowly aloud-with
dramatic emphasis.
"The brave Sir Roebling seized
his glistening lance, mounted his
fiery coal-black steed, and advanced

glinting silver in the sun, and his
scarlet pennon flying, while the fair
maid of Aberwyn stood watching at
the castle gate, her bright hair glis-

Gee, Madge, why the heroics?"
broke in a deep, amused voice at
this point.
Madge came back to earth with
thud, and whirled, stammering:
''Why, why, Dick, where did you

"Just dropped in to take you for

A day came, however, when the
pair over the sink could not longer
be ignored. No smiling face greet
ed Philip at the first door to the
left, third floor up, when he came
home at noon. He missed it, and
even before he turned the knob, had
feeling that something must be
wrong.
He crossed the threshold. "PhiI,
oh, Phil" 1t was a terrified cry
that welcomed his coming.
Two strides brought him to the
kitchenette. Before the gas range
stood Arlene, the corner of her
apron all afame. He caught the
look of Mortified appeal in the blue
eyes turned to his, snatched the
rug from the floor and wrapped it
tightly about his wife.

How did you happen to think about
the rug?"

sured her, with countenance so

She gave him a simulated,
naughty glance, then continued:
"Well, if you think 1 shouldn't be
too stupid, let's ask her to come
and make us a nice, long visit.
Maybe she'd teach me how to make
the things you like best. And, Phil,
would it be awfully extravagant to
get new curtains for the kitchenette

I'd like white ones better, and we
should have them before Mother

no rug of the proper size being

scenery through which they were
passing. If Dick noticed her pre-
occupation, he made no mention of
it. He was used to her moods, and
philosophically decided to wait until
she was ready to speak.
After some time she told him
as he knew she would-with whole
souled ardor pouring out the story
of her dreams.
Dick listened attentively, as he
always did. And, being a practical
young man, he resolved to do some
thing about it.
Now not even his worst enemy
could accuse Dick of being an ideal
ist. His plans were always severe
ly practical, and business-like in
the extreme, and thus, in his usual
manner, he proceeded to carry out
what he gathered to be her wishes
in the matter.
The next day found him at
Madge's door with two sleek chest
nut mares (the nearest he had been
able to get to coal-black chargers)
stamping impatiently in the rear.
Madge was astonished, but game.
To be sure, Dicks smart tweed
riding suit was scarcely equivalent
to cleaning armor, but it was I'M
doubtedly more becoming. After a
scarcely perceptible hesitation,
Madge came slowly out to inspect
the mounts.
Now Madge had never ridden a
horse before, but after some time
she managed, with Dicks deter
mined assistance, to mount the back
of the less Withholding of the two
horses.
Dick swung onto his mount with
a little less difficulty, and off the
two started.
In very few minutes Madge was
balancing precariously in her sad
die, and swinging dizzily from side
to side. She called frantically to
Dick, but that gallant young escort
was by this time having troubles
of his own, and he did not even hear
her. Thus they continued for some
minutes, at the end of which time
poor Madge loosed her frantic hold
on the horses name, and slipped
helplessly to the ground.
The intelligent animal stopped a
few rods farther on, and Dick, risk
ing one fleeing backward glance,
saw the empty saddle.
With herculean effort he man.
aged to arrest somewhat the speed
of his own mount, and at the risk
of broken limbs, jumped from the
still galloping horse.
He ran swiftly back to the small,
huddled form, and lifted her from
the ground.
"Madge, oh Madge, please speak
to me-" he pleaded.
Madge obligingly opened her
eyes.
"What-what happened?" she
choked
The next night a certain familiar
little roadster drew up before
Madge's gate, and a pleasant-faced
young chap in spotless f1annels
raped briskly on the door.
upon nearing tnlS Madge rose
rather painfully, to be sure-from
the chair, seized an apparently
harmless leather-covered volume,
and threw it with well-directed aim
into far corner of the library.
"Just a minute, Dicl1ie," she
called gayly, and in slightly over
the allotted minute she was seated
by his side. CHANGING roguishly up
to him, she murmured softly:
"They can have their old pranc-
ing steeds. We'd rather have this,
wouldn't WEI"
And Dick nodded silent assent. He
was still very lame.

But felt a song
Go out your heart.

To towering Ritz
You danced with Chick

You came to hear

In this misplayed tournament hand the opening lead was the king of spades. followed by the queen, which South ruffed. Declarer took three rounds of trumps, then laid down the king of diamonds. East won and forced South with another spade, taking his last trump. De- clarer took the flnesse of the dia- mond ten, and when East produced the jack, followed by another spade, declarer lost six tricks.
 Such a catastrophe is inexcusable, and is the result of nothing but carlessness. The declarer must re- alize that he may lose two diamond tricks in establishing the suit for club discards. He can afford to lose two diamonds, provided that his trumps outlast the spade suit.
 The correct play is to take only two rounds of trumps, leaving one trump in dummy to stop the spades while the ace of diamonds is knocked out. The worst that can happen is that he is allowed to win the first round of dia- monds. Now he has terrifying vis- ions of having a diamond ruffed If he continues the suit. But what of that? If the adverse diamonds are split three-two, 1t Is immaterial whether the second and third dia- monds are won by the ace and jack or by the ace and a run
