contrary enough to do 1t, too.
 "Get Away Old Man" is the re- suit of Saroyan'S sad experiences in Hollywood as writer for the films couple of years back. In fact, as I recall them through the haze, the news stories of his mis- adventures with M-G-M and vice versa were something more inter esting than this stage story. The result of that association, you will recall, was '"The Human Comedy" which was made into picture after he left the studio to turn the scrip into a novel which became a Book-of- -the-Month Club selection. Yeah, things like that happen-to Saroyan.
 Anyway, the play tells about young writing genius, who, like Saroyan, writes about the little people" he loves, and the efforts of great movie magnate to get him to write an epic of the human race for the films. There isn't much point to trying to describe the plot, if any, in greater detail because it wouldn't make sense on paper. The movie-maker emerges as something of a charlatan for whim you now and then feel bit of pity, only to decide you were right in the first place when the final curtain shows him to be irrevocably a heel.
 One of the plays chief faults is its repetitiousness. There just isn't enough meat to pad the bones and Saroyan is reduced to making his point over and over again. In spite of this and other things the play is an interesting exhibit and pro- vides sufficient stimulation to make visit worth while. In view of some of the awful tripe that has ap- peared in the guise of plays this season it may not seem fair to snipe at an infinitely superior, if not sat- isfacory, play such as this one, but that's life in the theater.
 Abbott, who also driected, assem- bled top-notch cast which con- tributes much to the play. As the young writer, Richard Widmark demonstrates talent for some thing more than the light frivoli- ties of farce comedy, with which I last saw him engaged, and Edward Begley does noble job a S the movie producer. Glenn finders takes top honors, however, as a rambling drunk. The feminine interest is supplied by Beatrice Pearson, Joyce Matthews and Hilda Vaughn.
 "A CONNECTICUT YANKEE, |"
 A that 16-y ear old musical comedy by Herbert Fields, Richard Rodgers and the late Lorenz Hart, has been refurbished as to book, lyrics and music and is now on dis play for those who were not around when Thou Swell' and My Heart Stood Still' were the top tunes. These two great hits remain in the score, but about half of the songs are new ones, as felicitous, at least, as the ones they replaced.
 Basically the story is the same, about the modern man who gets conked on the head and dreams he has been transferred back to the court of King Arthur - the old Mark Twain. The modern charac- ters, however, are now living in

 BANK DIVIDENDS
City Treasurer Estimates Eventual Realization of
 93% of Investment

The city stands to realize about 8 per cent of it's total investments from the Merchants Trust CO, city treasurer Serge Belanger reported yesterday to the board of finance. To date about 70 per cent has been received. Dividends in the amount of S2O9, ,431 91 nave been paid by the bank to dat on the original muni- cipal investment of $307. .760.34 leaving a balance to be paid of s98,328.38. However, the city treas urer yesterday informed the board that he has been advised that S76896 of the total remainder will be paid leaving the city subject to about a per cent loss O.. the total investment, which in itself is considered a remarkable re- covery. Dividends have been paid to the city on this account in amounts of $16,38799 and the last paid was in October.
 Yesterdays board meeting also resulted in the motion that a com mittee of three be appointed to re- view the recommendation of Budg- ct Director Thorvald Olsen that his recently completed reconciliation of the comptroller's summary account and that of the Tax Collectors and Corporation counsels be reviewed by the board.
 AS reported in The Democrat yes terday the board of finance accept ed and. passed on the motion that an additional $500 be transferred from the contingency fund of the controllers, office to the fire pen sion budget schedule. The fire commissioner recommendation, on which the board passed the motion, stated that so many additional pensioners cropped up since the budget was drawn up that an in sufficient amount of funds was in effect.

The face-lifting hasn't done much good in enlivening the comedy, which was not too good even in 1927, and the redeeming feature is still the music. Foremost among the new pieces by Rodgers and Hart are ITO Keep My Love Alive" as sung by Vivienne Segal, and Cant You Do Friend a Favor"
