Fields comes to the Ohio next week cast as the chief character in "The Potters," the comic strip characters of J. P. McEvoy, which have finally reached the silver screen.

Richard (Skeets) Oalligher, Jack Egan and Joseph Smiley head his supporting cast. “The Potters" is a comedy of middle class American life, whose chief character is Ta Potter, a pompously ineffectual man; a solid citizen, husband and father, witli an alpac|\ office coat and a patch on the j seat of his trousers. Ho is the type that is a hero every day but pay day. * As Pa Potter, door mat of the whole Potter tribe, Fieuds is said to step into an element peculiarly his own. tlie delineation of familiar American types, liberally sprinkled with those laughs which usually spring up in Mr. Average Citizen's life. Mary Alden torments Pa to such a degree that he decides to invest all of the mortgage money in an oil deal in order to get rich quick.

Advance notices of this play describe it as a hilarious comedy filled with the typical satric Dalton epi grams. In it the author, ignoring the usual causes for divorce such as drunkenness, nonsupport.. unfaithfulness, etc., claims that 90 per cent of all divorces are caused by the one attribute w’hich he says is selfishness. . In this farcical comedy the an thor seeks to laugh out of court primary cause for divorce which w thinks is the fact that each bra™ and groom who appears for dlssoiu tidon of his vows, is really but ta king himself or herself too seriously. The scene is laid in that di> trict known as the "East Side," New York, from which so much teeming life springs to lead eventually the affairs of the metropolis
