inson. This was produced In Lon
don first about dozen years ago
under the, title of ITO What Red
He'll" and in those unsophisticated
days did rather well. But today 1t
cannot help but show its age.
This has the considerable aid of
Sara Allgood in the role of a moth
er, good and respectable mother,
OF boy who is about to be executed
for murder.
Miss Allgood is Mrs. Nolan, The
mother of the innocent boy who
must die because he is accused
OF killing an orchidaceous blond.
Guilty of the murder is a wealthy,
well-established young man who is
almost protected by his well-to-do
uncle and an efauent lawyer, who
confess that 1t may be a bad thing
to allow an innocent man to die
for anothers crime but who advise
that a man Of high family should
sit back and not be too noble ard
confess a crime.
All Do . Noble Job.
Miss Allgood, who has heretofore
been concerned with her most in
spring performances with the Abb
hey Players Of Ireland, is heart
warming as the mother.
In fact, all the actors do noble
job. It's just a bad play and can
hardly survive even the advantage
that it has in that almost any mur-
der mystery can usually do good
business on Broadway.
Now 1t Is expected that murder
again will be taboo as drama tor
some time to come. Producers are
notoriously timid about undertaking
subjects which have failed even for
q moment of success. They per-
suade themselves that homicide
must be administered to the public
in limited doses. They seemingly
are willing to overlook the simplest
explanation of the disastrous mur-
der cycle of this spring, that three
OF the four plays were bad and un-
deserving Of support.

Constance Bennett has signed q
long-term contract with Columbia
Pictures. This marks Miss Ben
nett's return to the screen after
an absence of several months dur
ing which she was appearing on
the stage.
Miss Bennett made her screen
debut in "Cytharea." Her first
starring role was in sally, Irene
and Mary" Some Of her many
early vehicles include, ''1'he Goose
Hangs High" my Son." MY Wife
and l." "The Goose Woman,' II

oNAACA PC VA IA dllld, olOdoWdy
managers have been shy of murder
plays, especially British imports,
since the failure on these shores of
a few CORY London successes such
as Live From Stranger"
This season, however, they agreed
the time seemed ripe to give this
species of melodrama another
chance. The idea gained strength
when Gilbert Miller a few weeks
ago produced Ladies in Retire
nent," a grim story about a woman
who was willing to commit murder
in order to guarantee the economic
security of dependent relatives.
With Flora Robson starred it be-
came an instant success. Then the
murder cycle was on, with the man
ayers losing their inhibitions about
producing such plays.
Maybe One at a Time?
Another management produced a
second play by the same authors,
Reginald Denham and Edward
Percy, and 1t was still more grue-
some tale of slaughter called "Sus-
pect." 1t brought Pauline Lord back
to the stage, but even with the ad-
vantage Of her moving performance
the play failed. There were whis-
pers among the managers that New
York was content with one murder
play at time.
There were a few dissenters from
this thought, the first Of them the
producer of Grey Farm" which
dealt with violent death and which
was, again, of British origin. It
failed to captivate its audiences In
spite of the stirring performance OF
Oscar Homloka, q skillful actor, in
the leading role. Homloka had the
same experience Of Miss Lord, good
performers without the advantage
OF a hit manuscript.
And Now Another.
But this liking of managers for
murder mysteries still continues.

Jury Listens to
Evidence inl.. A.
Perfect Murder

LOS ANELES, Feb. 6. CUPJ-A
jury qualified to recommend the
death penalty today began hearing
Of pretty Mrs. Doris Dazey's mys-
terious death which the state
charged her socialitc husband plan
ned as "thc perfect crime.
The state said DR.. George K.
Dazey, Al. learned for the first
time Oct. 3, 1885. that his wife was
not certain he was the father of
her four month old child, that in
fit Of anger he drugged her and
carried her to the garage where
he left her to die from automobile
exhaust fumes.
Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler
attacked the states circumstantial
evidence. He told the jury that
mere incrimination was not enough
that it must find DR.. Dazey gull
ty OF first degree. precleditated
murder and send him TO the gal
lows. or it must find him innocent
and set him free
The doctor pleaded not guilty. He
said the boy obviously was his
son, that the fact he was born seven
months after their marriage IN
dicated only that he was a pre-
mature child. The doctor also said
he was not home the night of Mrs.
Dazcy's death. He found her body,
clad only in nightgown. when he
returned home.
Her death was adjudgcd suicide
and the case was dormant for
four years. It was reopened last
fall when Mrs. Dazey's mother.
Mrs. Walter SchwuchoW told Off
cials that she suspected the doctor
of implication in her daughters
death. She said that she had urged
her daughter shortly before her
death TO tell her husband that she
was uncertain he WAS tho chld's
father.
