CAR TRADE-INS hit
new HIGH IN 1889 .

The American people traded in
25 percent more old cars for new
and used automobiles in 1899 than
the previous year, reports the Am
erican Petroleum Industries Com
mittee. Last year SO per cent OF
the new automobiles and SO per
cent of used cars sold by automo-
bile dealers involved the trading
in of used cars as part of the
purchase price. Ten years ago, in
1929, trade-ins figured in only 7S
per cent of new car sales and As
per cent of used car sales.
Used car buyers in 1899 out
numbered new car buyers two to
one, SO that two out of every three
automobiles sold last year were
used cars. Most of the used car
buyers have incomes of less than
$40 a week, and nearly two-thirds
of such used car motorists use their
in earning livelihood.

teen-age daughter, but she did what
she could with the part. Mary Ag-
mes Miller lent a pictorial charm
to the production which we found
extremely pleasant.
In connection with this review
we are inserting the following an
nouncement which came to our
desk from Plymouth church:
REV. Horace White OF Plymouth
Congregational church says that ne
people who saw 'Susal and God
saw a woman seeking real mean
ing from religion, but not knowing
how to find it she sough; happi-
ness and turned to a spurious re-
ligious verbiage that could give her
no happiness. Reverend White will
discuss "The Deeper Meaning of
Susan God" Sunday, February II,
at the eleven o'clock service.
Everyone who saw the play is in
vited to attend this morning church
service at Plymouth Rev. White
says that there are a lot Of psyche
logical and religious interpretations
TO be drawn from the play"

pear a great deal more important
that it actually is. We personally
feel that the best way to counter
act whatever had effects this film

SUSAN AND GOD
Rachel Crothers' Susan and God
had its first local amateur produc-
ton last Friday evening at the Art
Institute and drew such a throng
of playgoers that the AKA's who
sponsored the play, had to hang up
the SRO sign.
Susan and God" is an amusing
and sophisticated comedy about
Susan Trexei and her theories OF
God. Susan's philosophy that con-
fesSion is good for the soul and her
campaign to uplift and regenerate
plays havoc with the lives and
private affairs of those around her
and gives rise to some amusing
situations.
The AKA production Of this play
directed by Evelyn Solomon. did
not quite come off. For one thing,
it lacked pace and proper timing
two elements that are the very core
and center OF successful comedy
acting.
But the chief fault with the pro-
duction was mis-casting. Marguerite
Williams was really not the type for
Susan. We felt she had Susan well
in hand at times only to lose her.
Ralph Cazort as Barry, Susan's
husband, was easily the best actor Of
the whole lot but he was at dis
tinct disadvantage because, try as
he might, he could not bring COM
plete conviction to a role for which,
chronolcgically at least, he was ill
suited. But Cazort made up this
deficit a much as possible by good
stage presence and Interpretation of
lines. Vantella Lane showed good
possibilities as Irene Burroughs,
and Alice Miles Charlotte Marley
was vigorous. Harold T Smith
CARED his role of Michael O'Hata
well. Lester McFall and Fletcher
Routt were adequate as Stubs and
Rochester respectively Leonard
Andrews as Leeds, the butler, would
have done well not TO brave the
dangers of the English accent. We
