BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM . UMrltoled *••* I wUsres.

NEW YORK - There's a sardonic aptness in Paul Vincent Carroll's choice of a name for his play, "The Strings. My U»rd. Are False", which opened at the Royale the other night. Carroll went to Shakespeare for his title, but retreated considerably from the workmanship and competence of his "Shadow and Substance in his new work. We can’t quar rel with him on the ground of sincerity, for laird knows Iw s tried hard and he's honest. But his hand -»ets heavy too often, and the drama becomes, in many spots, a melodrama neither potent nor effective. Carroll presents a small Scot tish town under bombardment bv the Germans. His action centers in the refuge room in the presbytery of a church, and in the church's crypt. His central character is the canon, played with immense understanding by Wai . ter Hampden, but even Mr Hampden couldn't quite take the raveled edge from the soutane of , this one-sided priest. The whole town. a» one time and another, comes into the crypt or the refuge room, and every character has been chosen with infinite care for dramatic value- such care, indeed. that nearly every one to overdramatized, almost carica tured. There's the Communist Scot who won't do things for the system but does them for the people. There's the young Pacifist apostate who goes back to the church and into the army after a bomb kills his •weetheart. There a the one armed Jew. maimed at Dun kirk. who talks such language as no Jew or Ontile ever dreamed of spouting. Thereto the town harlot turned angel of mercy. There's the grafting and city councillor who gets hto just deserts, and the noble and upright young councillor w|k> make* an honest wo,na " out o< “ mans misstep. Th, rr * approving monsignor who chides

PERSONAL? John 11. Heller will return this evening from Indianapolis, where he looked after business and attended a meeting of the slate col-1 lege board. Mr. and Mrs Frank Morrison and daughter Erma and son i-eonard and Miss Eileen Bowman have returned from a nine day's visit In Kansas City. Mo. Dan Holthouse has returned to Bloomington, where he will take a short course in mathematic*. Miss Marjorie Miller, who recent- ; )y completed her sophomore year at Indiana university. Bloomington, is working at the Centra) Soya company during the summer. Mr. and Mrs. William Klusrnan have returned from Sydney. Ohio, where they visited their cousins and with Mr and Mrs. Frank Draper. Mrs. James Fisher and children Nancy and Michael of Marion are sp-nding the week with .Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schmitz and family. Mrs. Edward Etnenhlser of Monroeville was admitted to the Adams county memorial hospital this morning for a lonslleectomy. Miss Jane and Raymond Meyers of this city had their tonsils semoved at the Adams county memorial hospital today. Chauncey Brokaw of North Second street left yesterday for Hines Hospital. Hines, HI, where he will remain indefinitely for treatment. Mr. Brokaw has been ill for about ■ a year. Mrs. Marie Deßolt. deputy county clerk, has been confined to her home on Jefferson street since Sat. urday evening when she became ill She is thought to be suffering from a cold and complications. o \A 9 By W<j I w M*UW K 1 Q How Far Can You Go On 3 Gallons Os Gas? With gas rationing in effect In the East and probably soon in other states. It becomes very Important for you and me to get the greatest possible mileage per gallon of gas If we are of the •infortunates who will get but 3 gallons of gas a week, It will be well for us to drive at a rate of speed that gives us the maximum miles per gallon. Tests prove that the average car gets less than 12 miles p -r gallon of gas at 70 miles per hour, hl miles per gallon at 40. IS miles per gallon at io. and 21 miles per. gallon at 30. You can go a lot farther on 3 gallons of gas when you drive at a safe speed. — — Winslow Now Is Fort Custis Kiptopeke. Va.

the canon for uncanonical speech and behavior. In ail, every character which a shallow imagination would people a bombed Scottish town with is there, and all the accidents this imagination would put them through happen to them. But our chief disappointment is in Mr. Carroll’s bemuacme'.it with the music of his words. Here indeed, the strings. Mr Carroll, are false. That Carroll ca" tune them to closer harmony was evident in . his previous plays, and on such i occasions as offer a character a • simple and telling line, Mr. Car- I roll docs come through with a fine directness end simplicity , which to far more dramatic and touching «han ail his flights Into purple literature. Howard Bay's settings are convincing »nd dramatic. Some ol the lighting In the crypt scene is j beautifully done. The cast is 1 dotted with good names, some great, but in many an instance, I particularly that of Miss Ruth ; Gordon, speaks no good for the caster. Miss Gordon is a fine comedienne. She plays the part of a canteen -vorker whose mis step raises hob with the fine a tie upright councillor, and she hano business playing it. The names ’ include Frances Bavier. Constants j Dowling. Margot Grahame and a 'sweet little trouper named Joar Hayden Shepard on the distal side. Mr. Hampden gets fim support from Colin Keith John ston. Philip Borncuf. Reynold! Evans. Tom Tully. Art Smith Hale Norcross. Ralph CulHnar and Sherman MacGregor. Hu staging by Eha Kazan did a grea' deal to tighten up weaknesses u the play's structure and action. •'The Strings, My Lord. An False" Is certainly no "Shadow and Substance.” We cannot rec ommend it wholeheartedly, bu it's better than no play at all. ant not to any decree teen worthy than most of the plays of this un fortunate season.
