Dancing in "Du Barry" may not
be as extensive as when Miss Cradle
was in the show on Broadway, but
1T is kept reasonably in balance
with the musical and comedy fea-
lures of the production. Soloists
include such talented people as Jane
Sproule, Ruth Bond. Harold Cromer,
all good. Robert Atoms ensembles
reveal only slightly those signs of
dances too often repeated.
Even with a few marks of time

may find details at which to demur.
Its members may feel the music is
more Mermanish than Frances
Williamsish, but rot much. They
may discover a few flyspecks, or
the marks of a few tossed away
laughs, on the scenery. They may
even detect sort of natural limp
ness and the hint of delayed
laundering in the costumes. If they
take time out for mental notes on
these things, however, 1t will be at
the cost of something more vital
and venal in the words, music, or
action.
After its years run on Broadway,
''Du Barry Was a Lady" retains its
full enthusiasm for proving its title
is a cute irony. This Du Barry
may have kept the 18th Louis at
arms length, but she never was
lonely, and the audience is never
certain he, too, is not going to crash
the party. The battle. which occurs
(of all places III dream, is the
most realistic thing of its kind you
ever saw effectively Also it is the
rowdiest and funniest.
Chief asset of the current version,
of course. is Lahr Freed of his job
as gents room attendant by virtue
of a sweepstakes ticket victory,
tossed into dream world which is
Louis court by virtue of Mickey
Finn, he leers the Lahr leer and
snorts the Lair snort with a virtu-
osity which seems actually enhanced
by his long Hollywood vacation.
Self-preservation may be natures
second law, but it certainly is not
its first when he's around.
On those rare occasions when he
is not in full pursuit of Du Barry
miss Williams, Lahr has time for
two comedy scenes which are likely
to linger in memory long after the
last couplet of Hamlets soliloquies
is forgotten. One is that in the
gents room in which he teaches his
successor Benny Baker, the tech
nique of running so intimate and
important an establishment, kind
of pantomimic method of getting
rich quick The other, which takes
place in the dream sequence, is that
which finds Lahr, as the Inundated
King Louis, seeking expert surgical
attention for the removal of an ar
row from the royal derriere. Neither
is just the thing for the Riddles. but
they create the barest minimum of
shocked surprise on the part Of
adults.
Secondary honors for the hilarity
attendant upon this melodious fam
tasy probably should 60 to De Sylvia
and his collaboration on the book,
Herbert Fields. 1t was they who
conceived the idea of merging that
mems room of modern night club
and the old palace at Versailles. In
spiration like that is almost morbidly
rare. The result in raciness of sit
uation and of dialogue is absolutely
unique.
Porter's music may have been
written with Miss Norman in mind
The story goes that it blank well
was. That, however, has not placed
it beyond the range, either vocal or

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There have been gypsies in Spain
for at least $50 years. We have
record of their being in CASTLE, a
part of Spain, two years before
Columbus first sailed across the
Atlantic.
Konrad Bercovici, who has carried
on long study of the gypsies in
different countries, has this to say
Of tho Spanish gypsies:
ct have never seen gypsies as
handsome or graceful as those of
Andalusia in Spain. The gypsies
of Spain are the mobiles of the
road"
In Spain, as elsewhere, the gypsies
do a great deal of moving about.
Yet they have colonies in several
cities in the southern part of the
country. In Seville, for example,
there are something like 5000
gypsies.
In all countries gypsies make
their living in large part by "for-
tune telling" but they also have
other ways of obtaining money.
Before the days of the automo-
bile, gypsies did a great deal of
horse trading. They were sharp"
in making deals, and many a man
has felt he had the worst of the
bargain-after the gypsies left.
To this day, gypsies take part
in such trading, but in countries
where automobiles are common

Perhaps the most prevalent bad
speech habit in the United States is
the mumbled telescoping of many
words of two or more syllables.
These slovenly and unlovely ex-
amples are to be found in the vo-
cabularies of far too many educated
speakers:
An-yul for annual.
Curnt for current.
Form for foreign
Family for family.
Poplar for popular.
Ornge for orange.
Mem-ry for memory.
Gen-ral for general.
Forst for forest.
Gal-ry for gallery.
There are hundreds of such IA
miliar words. Do not humble them
if you value correct speech. Prac-
tice the correct pronunciations
aloud until they are firmly fixed in
your vocabulary. Be sure to say:

they set up tents and spend a week
or more in a certain location.
Gypsies seem to have reached the
United States about $50 years ago.
Some of them married in Indian
tribes.
Gypsies also reached Brazil at an
early date. In that country they
are said to have married with Por-
tuguese settlers.
In New York, Chicago and some
other large cities Of this continent
there are settlements of these peo-
pie. After they settle down" they
may take part in metal-working of
one kind of another. Next to for
tune-telling, metal working is their
chief trade. They have been known,
however, to work as carpenters,
shoemakers and BARRIERS. Some of
them make living as singers, bear
tanners, snake-charmers and aero
bats.

muCn easier contract, DuU NOrIn
hesitated to show the suit for fear
of indicating more strength than
he actually held AS a matter of
fact, even if North had bid two
clubs. South might still have rebid
his hearts, and the result would
have been the same.
West opened the king of diamonds,
and East made the brilliant play of
overtaking with his ace to return a
trump. Now South saw that he
would not get chance to ruff a
diamond, and that he could not cash
his third club trick except after only
two rounds of trumps. Apparently,
he was limited to five trumps, two
clubs and a rather doubtful spade
trick.
What would you do under the
circumstances? Make your own plan
before reading on.
South let the trump ride to
dummy's jack and led three more
rounds of trumpS. On the third
and fourth trumps he discarded low
clubs from the dummy-as though
to him. East should have known
better, but discarded low club!
Thereupon South cashed the club
king and overlook the club queen
with dummy's ace to cash two more
club tricks.

suit was:

How did you play the trumps?
Answer-Correct play is to take
the ace first, then lead toward the
king-nine. If second hand follows,
finesse the nine. Even if you lose
, that trick, only one trump will be
left out-and your king will pick
that up later. If second hand shows
out, you play the king and lead
back toward your jack. This method
Is proof against four trumps to the
queen-ten on either side of you.

be that of promoting and maintaining clean
and adequate sports in the Newark schools,
and to attain other valuable and needed OBJ
jectives as they came to the attention of the
organization.
Today that group of men and women, can
look back over period of four short years,
and feel very proud of the accomplishments
of their organization.
In 1887 the group promoted and substan-
TALLY assisted in obtaining an electric score
board which was installed in the High
School gym. Deserving and needy athletes
in Newark schools have been aided mate
rally since the founding of the club. The
group is responsible for the campaign
which, through the cooperation of the
Board of Education and WPA made possible
the stadium at White field. They sponsor
ed banquets and provided medals and
awards for members of state championship
basketball squads. Lights were installed
for night games at the stadium, through
their sponsored efforts. The Newark high
school band was provided with new uni
forms, which are the pride of all Newark
citizens who helped make them possible. A
full time band instructor is now an actual
ity.
Despite the foregoing accomplishments
much remains to be done, among them the
completion of the stadium in regard to in
stallation of additional dressing rooms, etc.
To continually work toward securing part
time employment for needy and worthy
High school athletes; to generally promote
clean and adequate sports, and to see that
the present high level is improved upon.
The drive for membership is on again,
with increasing interest manifested by
sports conscious citizens. The cooperation
of all will greatly aid in realizing the ulti-
mate attainment of the objectives of this
worthy organization.

Sanitary Products

Sanitation is playing an ever increasing
role in the lives of the American people.
The improved quality of dairy products has
played no small part in the increasing ply
sical superiority of Americas youth.
Borden's Dairy & Ice Cream Company
realizing the Importance of cleanliness and
efficiency and the necessity of maintaining
a high quality product, decided to build a
new and complete dairy plant to take care
of their ever increasing business, and at the
same time get in stride with the march of
progress.
The building which now stands on the
corner of Third and Walnut streets in
Newark, with it's robot-controled pasteuri-
ger, making sure that the milk you drink is
absolutely safe, and it's ingenious bottling
methods, whereby the raw product is not
touched by human hands, is the ultimate in
sanitation and efficiency The dairy is said
to be the first in Licking county to fully
meet the requirements of the u. S. Public
Health Service.
During the opening days, Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday, this modern plant
was visited by hundreds of people, who were
impressed with the modern equipment, the
spotless interior, and the endeavor to main
tain constant care and cleanliness.
"The erection of their beautiful, modern
plant and office buildings, is lasting mon
ument to progress and advancement ;. a
monument to civic pride of which every cit
izen should be proud" is the congratulatory
message of one of the many firms who had
part in the building of this sanitary, mod
ern institution. We do not think that state
ment can be improved upon. We too, say,
Congratulations.
