During the meeting 80 stakes

will be presented.
Included are the tracks four

Usually the big handicap and
San Juan Capistrano are run on

sandwiched between the two and
and is expected because of the
later date tc attract even better
3-year-olds. In the last four
years, however. Hill Gail. De-
termine and Swaps won the
Derby here and then the Ken
lucky Derby.
The big horse" in the barns
is Ellsworth's California colt,
Swaps. who will return to the
race track for the first time since
he lost to Nashua in their match
race in Chicago last summer.
Swaps has had an injured foot.
Swaps is a nominee for the
Santa Anita Handicap, and so
is Nashua, but 1t appears doubt
full that the latter will come to
Santa Anita for the engage
ment. He is slated to do all his
winter racing in Florida. Neither
Swaps nor Nashua was nomi-
mated for the rich Maturity.
Also missing will be the ia
miliar devil red silks of the
Calumet Farm, which will race
in Florida for the first time in
many seasons.

Communication is one Of the
theater's happier experiences In
entertainment and education.
Miss Draper, who writes as
well as acts her amazing reper-
tory, has chosen q varied pro-
gram for the six nightly per-
formances of her week at the
shubert.
This includes Three Women
and Mr.. Clifford more faini-
iiarly known as "The Cliffords, !"
"A Scottish Immigrant at Ellis

Rwareness Of the follies and

Most ambitious Of the four
sketches. all apparently as fresh
as the day they were written, is
"Three Women and Mr.. Clif-
ford" The three women are Mr..
Clifford's secretary, his wife, and
his widowed inamorata. Collec-
lively these three, each played
In minute and humorous detail
by Miss Draper. add up to q
dattering revelation Of the un-
seen Mr.. Clifford.
Clearly he is q man who de-
serves the devotion Of such a
secretary and an informal COM
panion such as the attractive
and understanding widow, If
only to redress the injustice of
having vowed to cherish Mrs.
clifford. Yet 1t is an interesting
aspect Of this three-scene play
that its most piquantly inperson-

results that are cheerfu1ly dew
astating. A ride In the Clifford
limousine between q midtown
theater and the Clifford town
house Is all the interval needed
by Miss Draper. to indicate why
Mr.. Clifford left home as often
as possible.
A sharp change Of flavor Is TO
be found In the Scottish immi-
grant girl sketch, played as an
after-piece to aThe Cliffords." "
This 2l-year-old Lesley Mac
Gregor at Ellis Island-when It
was the gateway-is q dramatic
symbol of the far from raw
material out Of which this couri-
try was made. As etched by Miss
Draper, she is o lovable, wide-
eyed, confident innocent from
whom harm would have no
choice but to shrink.
1t is the briefest item In the
evenings reportory. but no less
pointed for its brevity.

That so many gifted satirists
have performed 80 brightly on

faddists is In no way q handicap
to Miss Draper in Doctors and

throws in an Italian beggar
