Olivier was about to direct and act in a play called The Golden Arrow."

Do not misunderstand me—this is no re heated coffee take. It’s one that, starling from scratch, you can mix and bake in lean than an hour—and have it sending its mouth-watering, cinnamony fragrance through the houst to make tin- family simply ravenous. It sounds incredulous, 1 know, es]>ecially when one remembers how grandmother usetl to spend all day making her bread and rolls and coffee acker But it is no more remarkable than many other streamlined wonders of our age.

W hat's toote it govs grandmother’s coffee cakes one better —it has a flliing too, like a layer sake. There's no reason, of course, why thia delicious coffee rake should be limited to breakfast. Make it for lunch or supper some day when you are using up the raggle-taggl.-«ld« and end- of the day-before'a dinner. You won't need any dessert. Just the fre«h, waim fragrant cake with coffer or c'-coa will. b« enough. And you'll find that the family will think they have had a grand meal. STREI SEI.

NEW YORK.—While th* theatrical season just goes stumbling along, not knowin’ nothin', not doin' nothin' and getting more like 01* Man River, the opera has gone into its sixteenth week and that denotes a tragedy of hardy annual proportions. Not that the theatre is starving, mind you. There are enough good play- on Broadway right now to keep theatregoers interested, and enumeration will reveal that the season started brilliantly but frzzled somewhat on the home stretch. But the close of the opera after sixteen weeks always gtves you that nostalgic feeling, that wish for the merry old days when the seaion was twenty-four weeks and longer, and when Signor Gatti-Cassarza jammed i 'em in to see the old, old chest-1 nuts and gave you aomething new only after a minor revolution. On the stage, at the moment, i we have "Life With Father"; "Margin for Error”; "See My Uwyar"; "The Male Animal'';! "Sky lark"; “The Man Who Came to Dinner"; "The Philadel-: phia Story" and of course ' Tobacco Road”. That's a fine front line as impregnable as the Maginot. For second line effort there's "The Time of Your Life'*, which your correspondent dislikes intensely in spots and which he thinks is gluey and insufferably entimental foosh. Then there's "Two on an Island". Elmer Rice's "Street Scene” made over in the best Horatio Alger tradition, and Mr. Priestley’s pastiche, “When W« Are Married", of which the less said the better. Neither Maginot, nor Siegfried nor Mannerheim, this line, but • low hurdle which you can't quite skitter over. On the other hand, the opera season has been an interesting I one. There hasn't been anything new except the “Nozze di i

Figaro" of Mozart, over which brooded a rather ill-mannered storm raised by a columnist who may not be a music critic but who knows what he likes—and a single performance of that gem, "Pelleas et Meliiande" by Debussy. Why one performance, we shall never quite know. Since Lucretia Bori retired and Edward Johnson took over the management of the Metropolitan, Pelleas hasn’t been dene. Lucrezia was the great, great Meliiande, and she sang like a bird, with that effortless and gentle grace and that indeflnable style that iota tradition for the Mel. The outstanding star of the opera season, of course, is Lotte I-ehmann. whose Marschallin in l“Der Rosenkavalier" is one of J the things grandfathers tell their ' grandchildren about. Sounds unI gallant, doesn't it, but we don't I mean it that way. We mean i that twenty years from now this doddering old gray beard, if rhe Reaper misses him that long, will I hold on his knee his at-present I mythical grandchild and tell him i that lame Lehmann was the greatest singer of the 1920's and 11930'5. Marjorie Lawrenee, the kid from kangarooland, is another Wagnerian soprano who's elected to the bound-to-succeed list. She has the voice, the presence, the build, and something approaching style which will stand her in good stead. When Kirsten Flagstad quits, Marjorie is going to be in there pitching, and we think she’s going to sizzle ’em across the plate. And about that youngster Leinsdorf. who's conducting and who was the center of another storm —give him time. A superb musician, he’s sensitive enough to grow into Bodanzky's shoes. It takes time. I And until then, he's doing all right. His four "Rosenkavaiiere” i were progreesively better.
