KING vi SCIlil-
ment which amounts to a betrayal
of the original. Julia began as
personality girl who got what she
could while she could and then paid
for it by getting what was coming
to her. Mr.. Bolton should have
realized it. He would have had sim
certify, believability and a play treat
ing such characters as rational peo-
nle are convinced they should be
treated.
The admirer of Mr. Vaughan will
like the tampering with his disdaln-
f,,l mood for Julia only slightly less
than what has happened to his
dialogue. AS this department re-
members Julia, part of her tawdry
act was to talk like lady and dress
her amorality rather like one. Her
tantrums on the stage, and so many
of her unexcited revelations OF a
lack of moral values, find their
comedy purposes served now by a
lustv profanity. 1t isn't the speech
of a Maugham heroine, terrible
creatures though they are.
The three acts and seven scenes
which Mr.. Bolton allotS to the task
of bringing Julia to life are likely
TO prove too many in the lives OF
members of the audience. Her type
IL rather too familiar even in the
newspapers to need such exhaustive
treatment, and the cast does not
reduce the exhaustion by fitting the
rommonplaces together as If its
members alone were unfamiliar with
them.
The casting of "Theater" Is thing
unlikely to be called inspired by any
one with any acquaintance with the
Vaughan novel The young lover
who embodied the lost youth which
Julia was seeking had a certain
superiority, other than a younger
face, over the husband in the orig
inal. In the play, in neither voice,
physique nor any other quality Wis
ible to the naked eve does Carol
Harbord seem like the chap who
would lure Miss Skinner to throw
over the old matinee idol (the kind
that always look like John Barry
more's prof1le) husband played by
Arthur Margetson. One presumes
that Mr.. Margetson's character was
the maturing matinee idol, never
the considerable actor. II not, one
reviewer was unhinged by yester-
days heat.
Miss SINNERS Julia, pretty much
Of a hysterical woman en- route to
age. could not make that action be-
lievable for a moment even though
she was pretty much of crackbraln
from the opening scene in the park,
where she has gone to test her sex
appeal upon stray males out for an
airing. That failing, pretty much OF
everything else was bound to fail,
all the way through to novel, but
overtheatric, ending when she walks
out through the house f1inging back
happy little cries that she has been
reunited with the old mate.
OF the incidental characters in
-Theater," the same inadequacy is
to be noted. Margaret Bannerman,
who duels throughout the play with
Miss Skinner for the husband the
latter wants to give away, is hardly
ever more than exasperating. 1t is

Court Rejects Plan
For Compromise in
Closed Bank Case
$50 Protest Proposal
For Settlement of
Interest Claim

Justice Oscar R. Luhring in Dis
trict Court today refused to approve
a compromise settlement plan, pre-
viously agreed to by the Treasury
Department. in the case of share
holders of the defunct United States
Savings Bank.
In memorandum opinion, he Sus-
tanned objections to the plan after
about $50 persons had protested.
Frederick j. Young, as receiver,
brought an equity action against the
shareholders and later sought au-
thority to approve the plan. The
compromise concerned settlement Of
an interest claim, allegedly due de-
positors and creditors of the bank,
and this prompted action by the re-
eeiver to enforce against sharehold-
ers the 100 per cent assessment,
levied by the Controller of the Cur
rency.
Agreed to Previously.
The plan before Justice Luhring
was one agreed to by the receiver
and the Shareholders Committee
and understood by them to mean
that those depositors and creditors
executing assignments would be paid
3 per cent and those failing or re-
fusing to assign would be paid
1855 per cent.
Justice Luhring said the sole
question for consideration is Wheth-
er the objecting depoSitOrS and
creditors understood that in eXecut-
ing the assignment they would re-
ceive the per cent and those not
executing would receive the full
amount of 1855 per cent
1T was quite proper for any de-
posltor or creditor. being fully ad-
vised, to waive his claim for interest
in whole or in part, even though
others similarly situated and who
did not waive would be paid in full,
declared Justice Luhring in his
opinion.
Letter Held Not Clear.
But as We have pointed out, the
letters sent to the depositors and
creditors by the receiver and the
Shareholders Committee, with re-
spect to the plan of compromise and
settlement, did not clearly explain
that 1855 per cent would be paid to
those who failed or refused to ex-
ecute the assignment
The court finds that those re-
pudiating their assignment did not
understand that those who did not
assign would be paid in full: that
they believed that all depositors and
creditors would receive per cent;
that acting on that understanding
they executed the assignments, and
that they should be permitted to
withdraw such assignments.
1T follows that the objections to
the approval of the plan must be
sustained"
