Notes on the Death of Life
By Jack O'Brion

NEW YORK.
Amid the mourning over the
closing last night of Life With
Father" the longest play
in the history of the American the
ater, one glimmer of hope shines
for all concerned:
The sequel to Life With Father"
to be called Life With Mother"
and recounting further amusing ad-
ventures of the family of Clarence
Day in the 1905, will be ready for
a Broadway opening next January
or February" according to Oscar
Serlin. Serlin produced the Won
derful comedy which ended its
amazingly lengthy Broadway stay
last night at the Alvin Theater
after 3205 performances.
Serlin said he has no explanation
for the drop in business which ne
cessitated its closing except that
apparently every one in America
has seen it."
Among the final notes to be ap-
pended to the Life With Father"
legend are several financial sta
tistics:

cut of the proceeds, including How

has returned s36O000. Jock Whit
ney. another well-heeled gentleman
whose previous theatrical invest
ments have been considerable, has
got back 100000 for his original
5000.
Among the less wealthy folks con-
cerned. please list prominently the
name of Oscar Serlin. the producer.
Completely broke before the show
opened. Oscar went to Arthur Mayer,
who runs the Rialto Theater on

him to invest money in the project.
