in this belief. And “Pomeroy’s Past,” the first Clare Kummer comedy to poke its head above the surface for too many months, is being run off these days on the stage of the Longacre Theatre. It is a high and light comedy, so high and so light indeed that its feet find the floor with difficulty in the last act. But for all that, it is a production of marvelous virtues and any excellent entertainment with it. The lines of Miss Kummer and the performance of Miss Laura Hope Crews were the chief matters of moment. Miss Crews played a
were the chief matters of moment. Miss Crews played a fussy maiden sister, who has a way of sweeping in upon any random moments of romance that may intrude upon her helplessly efficient household. The cast is composed of a sufficient number of celebrities to make it surefire. Among them are Ernest Truex, Helen Chandler, and Osgood Perkins. At last this tenacious season has decided to do a little waning, as seasons are supposed to do in May. This one has bowled along into May at a regular February clip.

the authorities of Montpellier (Hérault). A few days ago there was an investigation because the civil records did not correspond with the actual number of M. and Mme. Guy’s children. It appears that a clerical error was made when the couple legitimized their offspring in 1918, recording as living a child who died in 1912 but neglecting to enter the birth of Rose-Marie in the same year. Besides, the child was called by another name, to distinguish her from her mother, who bore the same name. Sale Ernrd: Gontran Arcouet, pianist, 9 year old.

Arrest of Jonard Clears Several Burglaries, Despite Etrange Tales By Eye-Witnesses That keen-eyed person known as “eye-witness” has seen Stanislas Jonard in various guises. He has been a dark-skinned Italian; he has been an olive-tinted Spaniard;
been a dark-skinned Italian; he has been an olive-tinted Spaniard; he has even been described as two well-dressed women. Yet he is actually a Pole, who makes no attempt at disguise but who has found the burglary trade well adapted to his talents. Now he has been arrested and the reliability of the “eye-witness” has been considerably reduced. Jonard was captured after a chase in the subway and in the Bois de Boulogne. Inspector Leroy picked up his trail and visited a café which he was known to frequent. But Jonard scented trouble and escaped to the Métro, only to
Jonard scented trouble and escaped to the Métro, only to find Leroy still at his elbow. Becoming nervous before the detective’s steady gaze, the Pole made another break for liberty. At the Porte Dauphine station he ran into the crowd, gained the street, and took to the winding paths of the Bois de Boulogne. His efforts were futile, however, and soon he was driving to police headquarters in a taxi, surrounded by policemen. For a time he refused to answer questions but finally he broke down and admitted a series of daring thefts. One was from the house of M.
of daring thefts. One was from the house of M. de Kervillers, at Saint-Ouen, just outside Paris. He entered a window there, removed his shoes, and with an unloaded revolver compelled M. de Kervillers to point out where jewelry and money were placed. When he departed a night watchman fired at him and vowed he wounded him, but Jonard has a whole skin. M. de Kervillers described the thief as a dark Italian or Spaniard with typical accent. The exploit was told with much delight by Jonard, because of the useless revolver he carried. The burglary of M. Lillaz’s home
useless revolver he carried. The burglary of M. Lillaz’s home in the Avenue du Bois-de-Boulogne, was facilitated by the absence of the owner. No difficulty was met with. An eyewitness informed the police that he had seen two women arrive in a taxi, one of whom entered the house with a key, causing the police to wonder about some lady raffineries. Other burglaries were admitted by Jonard. He told of spending his money in restaurants and cafés and then gave the names of three men to whom he sold his loot. An attempt to connect Jonard with the murder of
loot. An attempt to connect Jonard with the murder of Mme. Régnault, wife of the former French Ambassador to Japan, has been unsuccessful. Suspicions had been directed against a dark individual who worked in his stockinged feet, a description which fitted Jonard, but it was discovered that at the time the murder was committed the young man was engaged in rifling the home of M. Lillaz. Buoy Marks Submarine Treasure.

work of the treasure hunters who hope to salvage the $5,000,000 in gold and silver that lies in the wreck of the Egypt off the coast of Finistère. Nevertheless, the powerful tug Iroise has returned from a stormy trip to the spot where the treasure is believed to lie, 110 meters below the surface, and has succeeded in marking the exact spot with a buoy, anchored by a cement block weighing two tons. Another tug, the Pélican, is now on the way for Brest and as soon as the sea has calmed the two vessels will sail again, equipped with

The Egypt was rammed and sunk in a fog in May, 1922. Train Kills Mother; Baby Saved. A mother has again sacrificed herself to save the life of her child. A railroad engineer, driving his train at a high rate of speed near Maillancourt (Oise), suddenly saw a woman rise up between the rails
(Oise), suddenly saw a woman rise up between the rails fifty yards ahead of the locomotive, wildly waving her arms for him to stop. The emergency brakes were applied but not in time to permit the woman to jump aside. She was struck and hurled ahead between the rails, where the train passed over her and halted with a jerk. The engineer then saw, only a few yards in front of his engine, a baby carriage containing an eighteen-month-old baby girl. Apparently, the mother had walked a short distance down the track gathering flowers but left the carriage on the

Schnitzler's Suicide. The high cost of living and the constant tumult of Paris caused M. and Mme. Fernand Leroy, both over seventy, to seek another abode.

know not all of Broadway. Broadway is thirteen miles long. It springs from the Battery at the tip of Manhattan and runs the entire length of the island. Then it springs across the Harlem River and invades the Bronx and continues almost unto Yonkers. Manhattan’s Forty-Second Street and Broadway is famous. But the Bronx has 242nd Street and Broadway. Those who love Broadway with a personal interest are formed into a Broadway Association. Yearly its seventy-five members go in pilgrimage along the full length of the thoroughfare. There were twenty-five gaily decorated automobiles in the third annual pilgrimage. Small groups
gaily decorated automobiles in the third annual pilgrimage. Small groups of people stood shivering in the cold wind outside the railings of Hyde Park, and watched the breaking up of the huge camp that has been responsible for feeding London during the past fortnight. Many admiring comments were heard of the wonderful organization which had provided meals and other food for the population in face of great difficulties. “I have never known anything like it”; said Sir William Price, the Controller, “Everybody willingly worked twenty hours every day, and it was owing to this that the arrangements went so well.”
was owing to this that the arrangements went so well.” To these and other volunteers the Prime Minister has addressed a message of thanks on behalf of the Government. “To their patriotic efforts is largely due the salvation of the community from great peril,” L’Amérique Latine à la Société des Nations M. Lebreron, délégué de l’Argentine au Comité de réforme du Conseil de la Société des Nations, a rappelé que son pays est aujourd’hui, comme en 1920, animé du désir d’aider à la démocratisation du conseil. Malgré tous les inconvénients qu’il peut y avoir à élargir le conseil, l’Argentine accepte
qu’il peut y avoir à élargir le conseil, l’Argentine accepte le projet Coii qui porte le nombre total des membres du conseil à 14. Quant à la thèse du Brésil qui prévoit deux sièges permanents pour l'Amérique latine, le représentant de l’Argentine a indiqué que son pays ne tient pas à représenter d’autres intérêts que les siens et qu’il n’accepterait pas non plus que d’autres Etats prissent la responsabilité de la représentation directe ou indirecte des intérêts argentins.

Knickerbocker himself—or at least by Mr. J. B. Vandevent, of the Broadway Association, dressed up as Father Knickerbocker. The pilgrimage had as guide Van der Donck. He was one of the earliest white settlers of Yonkers. On this occasion he was impersonated by Mr. William B. Bruce, of the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce. There were also Miss Broadway and Miss Yonkers. Miss Broadway was chosen to represent the Broadway Association on all official occasions. She is otherwise known as Miss Irene French. Miss Yonkers is Miss Wilma Ansell. There were a number of new things to inspect on Broadway this
a number of new things to inspect on Broadway this year. The pilgrimage paused at Times Square to look over the new Paramount Building. At 174th Street the pilgrims were received by Dr. Christian F. Reisner, at the new Broadway Temple. When the party reached the historic Manor House at Yonkers it was met by the Mayor of Yonkers and taken to luncheon at the Hudson River Country Club. Once “Broadway” and “bright lights” were synonymous. Once Broadway was the nation’s playground. But trade is remolding the Rialto. Skyscrapers are displacing théâtres. As a movie sub-title genius would phrase it:
displacing théâtres. As a movie sub-title genius would phrase it: A Domain of Dalliance Has Been Converted into a Region of Rush Hours. When the Metropolitan Opera evacuates its historic citadel at Broadway and Thirty-Ninth Street to go further uptown it will abandon to the besieging hosts of trade the chief remaining stronghold of a playground celebrated in topical song and snappy story. The Great White Way has capitulated to the banners of Cloaks and Suits. The night is not far distant when Broadway, from Thirty-Fourth Street North to Times Square, will be a skyscraper-walled canyon as empty and silent
Square, will be a skyscraper-walled canyon as empty and silent as Wall Street. A twenty-three-story hive of the garment industry will replace the Thirty-Ninth Street Theatre. Across the way the Casino— with memories of halcyon days of Francis Wilson, Lillian Russell and comic opera — cannot long withstand the battering those who offered their services but were not called up. The demolition of such camps as Hyde Park all over the country was not allowed to take place without fitting celebrations. Concerts and breaking-up parties were held in most places prior to the demobilization of the thousands of volunteers. While

While Mr. Baldwin was probably “browsing among the classics,” at Chequers, his own description of his favorite recreation after a period of strenuous work, those who were wise spent their Sunday in similar occupations, for it was more a day for the fireside than a ramble. Three inches of snow fell in several of the Southern counties, while in the Cotswolds a fall of six inches was reported. The usual Sunday Socialist gatherings on the commons and open spaces around London drew only a handful of people, and the claims of
drew only a handful of people, and the claims of a Labor victory in the strike had a cold reception in more ways than one. One band of Sunday workers was able to keep itself tolerably warm, however, as it endeavored to cope with one of the results of the strike. This was the sorting staff at the Mount Pleasant parcels post department. Here the men could be seen making a frontal attack on the mountains of parcels which accumulated during the past couple of weeks. An official estimated that there was nearly one hundred times more work to be
there was nearly one hundred times more work to be done than on a normal Sunday, while a perspiring sorter gave it as his opinion that “It’s like ten Christmases rolled into one, mate.” There were nearly ten thousand parcels from France alone. In London, newspapers will appear in their customary form and bulk tomorrow after exactly a fortnight of enforced holiday. They are certain to be received with a specially warm welcome, since during this period else people have been prepared to put up with the lack of news, which was something to which the average man had never
which was something to which the average man had never been accustomed, and he found it very difficult to tolerate. Newsagents have a special reason for rejoicing, not only on account of the renewed commerce. Nearby, the appearance of daily papers, but also the portals of the Majestic Elliot Theatre, shake beneath the assaults. Only a buyer is waited for before the Empire— which Charles Frohman left behind and where Maude Adams brought Peter Pan to life—lapses into oblivion. The Knickerbocker is isolated and beleaguered. And these are the last of the galaxy that once included Daly’s, Wallack’s, Weber and
of the galaxy that once included Daly’s, Wallack’s, Weber and Field’s Music Hall, the Herald Square, the Broadway. Year after year in the first quarter of the century has seen block after block of Broadway wrested from leisure and given over to bustle. The Rialto has helplessly watched its dining, wining and gossiping displaced by trade and barter. Fast disappearing are the one-story and two-story frame buildings that have given a Main Street aspect to that part of Broadway above Thirty-fourth Street. Now an entire block of them between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Streets and half a block between Thirty-seventh and
and Thirty-ninth Streets and half a block between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth Streets await only a demand at a sufficiently handsome price. “It’s Always Bright and Sunny Weather on Broadway” once strutted a troubadour of Tin Pan Alley. Now look at the downed Street Stand at the Métropolitains curb in mid-afternoon and look South beyond the McAlpin... There is a solid bank of murk as if a conflagration raged without flame. To the North a wall of fog clips off the horizon at the Hotel Astor. The sky is drab with a yellowish tinge. A dozen chimneys pour our smudge in

IN THE CITY OF THE ANGELS, Los Angeles spent $8,000,000 on a splendid new Hall of Justice of steel and concrete. Prisoners escaped wholesale from the county jail on the fourteenth floor. The bakery installed at a cost of $50,000 was abandoned after the authorities found it cheaper to buy two-day-old bread than to bake it. Then the prison dining hall had to be abandoned. Then the chapel also. It was so situated that attorneys
Then the chapel also. It was so situated that attorneys would not run the risk of conducting prisoners to and from their cells. The great prison laundry was next given up and its equipment moved to the roof. The roof was originally designed as an exercise yard for prisoners. But the guard irons were placed facing the wrong direction so that any prisoner who could find a rope could find a place to tie it and slide fourteen floors to freedom. Judges and attorneys complain that courtrooms are so poorly lit that stenographers can scarcely see their notes and attorneys
lit that stenographers can scarcely see their notes and attorneys cannot read their law books. The $4,000 gold leaf ceiling in one courtroom was menaced when a choked jail kitchen drain on an upper floor overflowed. Judge and court attachés at first tried to conduct business under umbrellas but they were soon impelled to adjourn elsewhere. A Grand Jury investigation of the $8,000,000 Hall of Justice is now underway, because the weekly periodical and magazine trade will now be revived. Bookstalls, which are generally very attractively arranged, have presented a very bare appearance of late, but they will soon be

The business of distributing such papers as have been published has been in the hands of a group of society volunteer helpers, which has included such well-known women as Lady Diana Duff-Cooper, Lady Louis Mountbatten, Lady Poynter and Lady Violet Astor. With a number of Members of Parliament, and American Rhodes Scholars from Oxford, they have lined up with their parcels outside the Fleet Street newspaper offices and taken the
