best grace they may, controlled by
the Hallam traditions. Mother Hal
lam, queen of the little group, is
however, unable to dominate Stella
wife OF Victor Hallam, who speaks
another language" and whose eff
forts to create a life of happiness
tor herself and her son, constitute
the plot.
Fine Cast
Alice Clark, as Mother Hallam,
did a nice bit of characterization
for she played the role with suf-
ficient gentle sweetness to make
her sons alteration reasonable but
revealed also the dominating pos
sessive strain which kept her bows
captives to her will.
Ada Besse Beynon in the role of
Stella, was excellent. making very
real and appealing the heroine's
desire and right to have an indi-
vidual life apart from the Hallam
traditions.
AS her husband, Harlow Alabaster
was equally good, creating a Hallam
husband true to type but with
enough inner fineness to appreciate
his wife and enough courage to
stand up for her against his FAM
lily. His transition from the obtuse
complacent husband to the uncer-
tain but awakening individual was
we'll done.
Minor Roles
Iplpr p0colio pr,,
cherie and Ethel Macurda in the
roles of the three wives were effec-
tive in their Characterization OF
three different women, which were
deftly and distinctly done. Miss
Barsumian had the bigger part and
gave an excellent Interpretation.
The three husbands, played by
William Outlook, Warren Wash
burn and Allen Bailey, also did dis
tinctivc work and made the three
brothers most convincing.
Hollis Clark, as Father Hallam.
plaved his role. entirely Subservient
to Mother Hallam nicely. affording
4 contrast to her dominant charac-
ter.
Difficult Role
Leroy RumSey as Jerry, the young
nephew who fancieS himself in love
with Stella, had the most difficult
role of all and did remarkably we'll
in portraying the sensitive, emo
tional boy.
To Warren Washburn much Gre
dit is due for the skillful direction.
while the production staff deserves
praise for the excellent sets and
the efficiencv with which they
handled tho changes of scene.
others who deserve mention are:
Bob GLASGOW, assistant director;
Malcolm Macurda, stage manager

GLORY-For Sale
ID. Sebastian Schiller

There is glory for sale. Display
ed with price tags are victory me-
dals won by Americans in the Ar
gonne, at st. Mihiel, at the Marine;
the Medialle Militare, rarest of
French decorations; the Mots Star,
awarded survivors of the British
force that save the Allies from dis
aster in 1914 by suicidal resis-
tence on the retreat from Mons;
medals of regimes now extinct
czarist Russia, the Austro-Hungar-
ian empire.
Glory for sale-at 81, So, or So
per medal-in nearly every pawn
shop you may pass in any city.
For many a soldier, decorated on
the field of battle, later bewildered
discouraged and hungry in the de-
preston caused by war, the path
of glory has led ironically to the
pawnshops.
Those symbols of heroism, now
mere baubles for curiosity seekers,
are mute indictment of war as
futility.
Through them speak the disillu-
stoned veteran Of many a nation:
you take the Medal Of Glory
had to eat"
The history of the human race
is an unfolding record of mankind s
endeavor to grasp the meaning of
substance and supply, and there by
acquire a sufficient amount of
something to meet his needs and
demands.

1.-THE need for cash received
through the sale of these seals is
apparent when the results of the
work of this organization Is
KNOWN" Mrs. Pflaum said.
Deaths from the white plague
in this country have been strik-
ingly reduced through the efforts
of the league, as each spring there
is skin testing made of school
children that discovers the disease
in its early stages, making the cure
possible before it is too late"
"The work of this league is not
only for the other fellow but is
for all, for tuberculosis is no re-
specter of persons and may strike
any home, and family. In discov-
ering the disease in the schools,
and seggregating those who have
contracted it, the league is remov-
ing the possibility of tuberculosis
being given to others. No home
is safe from tuberculosis until all
homes are safe"
Mrs. Pflaum explained that the
only method of securing funds for
the work of the league is through
the sale of Christmas Seals, and
that the money thus received is
used in the community in which it
has been raised.
