Possibility that acquisition of the Citizens Gas Company by the city might result in the city having a “white elephant” on its hands in event of cheap electricity, was pointed out by William Bosson, former city attorney, before the Brookside Civic League Monday night. Admitting that if natural gas should be introduced here and its use decrease employment, as labor unions predict, its opponents would have a strong argument against it, Bosson said one of the most important factors is possibility of lower gas rates. Bosson also discussed tax reduction, declaring taxes can not be cut until government costs are reduced. He discussed the possibility of eliminating many employes now on the public pay roll and cutting salaries of public officials and employes, including school teachers.

PAJAMAS MAKE THIS ! SCENE JtJST A NIFTY Frances Dale Inherits for the Moment a Southern Dialect But Donald Woods Does Not Approach Italian. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN RATHER thought the first time I saw “Strictly Dishonorable" that the pajamas in the last two acts made the play. Always rather thought In New York as well as other cities that I have seen the show, I had the idea the person who wore the pajamas made the hit. And the same is true in the way that Arthur Casey and William Blair has done this piece of nifty near dirt at English’s this week. Miss Frances Dale, has the “p.g’s” and she has the southern dialect regardless what she wears. Miss Dale is giving as spirited and as well spoken a performance as one has the right to expect. But Donald Woods forgets

Italian accent and his hot actions so often .that he fails to register as he should. Here is a hot singer in opera who knows his eccentric tricks. Woods at no time under-

stands the character. He should be careful of that famous line he says as the curtain goes down on the long first act. It is the title of the show. He did not put it across on the opening night. Freddie Sherman should allow the idea of a souse to take natural effect because Henry gets a peach on in the first act. The chair fall over was splen-

Frances Dale

did. Should be kept in. But here is a mounting souse and the “souses” I have seen in this play look “soused.” A little realism, Mr. Sherman. You say the lines splendidly but you should have unsteady pins (meaning legs). Will Lloyd by his artistry could make me believe about any character and dialect. This man knows how to walk in character. I still think that Dick Elliott as Judge Dempsey is dressed wrong in the first act. A tuxedo is the necessary dress in both acts. But otherwise Elliott stops the show any time he wants. From a scenic standpoint the tables in the first act should not have white linen. Red dotted stuff is the order. And there is too much furniture in the second and third acts. s The entire cast reads their lines in a way that all can hear the words. And that is something that the road company did not do here in regular season. Asa buy of the theater here is rich fun that will increase in value at every performance. At English’s all week and It is nifty fun. u HERE IS A REAL MURDER MYSTERY MOVIE Am beginning to believe that the murder mystery (novel style not the racket stuff), is going to be the next main order of entertainment on the talking screen. The way that Dudley Diggs (and here is an actor accociated a long time with the New York Theatre Guild), Bebe Daniels and Richard Cortez puts over “The Maltese Falcon” even increased my idea. . There are several guys murdered at the beginning of the picture! It is confusing but before the director

gets through he has connected everything that has happened. And the heroine gets the “rap” although she is nicely treated in Jail. Must be a little human with heroines even if they make a mistake. But the heroine (Bebe Daniels) is consistent. But we have anew type of bad man in “The Maltese Falcon.” That is the picture I am talking about. He is played by Dudley Diggs in his best Theatre Guild manner. Oh, what fine work this is. This is work that is a joy to see. I may forget the picture but I will never forget Diggs. And Cortez kept me guessing because he played this private detective role In a fine baffling way. The entire picture, is in the terms of the day, “a honey.” In the vaudeville section Bob Murphy delivers a lot of noise. He uses the sledge hammer method but he puts his stuff over. The sketch and setup of Jack and Kay Spangler seems mighty familiar to me. The man is rather broad (too broad) in some of his comedy. The best thing of the act is the fine work of the comedy acrobatic team. Great. Grace Barrie sings songs of different character. Bill includes O’Neill and Manners, and Samaroff and Sonia, a dog act. Now at the Lyric. INDIGESTION STOPPED Relief in 5 Minutes Practically all forms of indigestion from mildest stomach discomfort to chronic dyspepsia are caused by excess stomach acid which sets up premature food fermentation, generates gas and attacks the delicate stomach lining: - These distressing conditions are best and most quickly and safely relieved by taking just a little “Bisurated” Magnesia after meals or whenever pain or discomfort is felt. This instantly neutralizes excess acid and stops fermentation. Food is made sweet and digestible, the sore inflamed stomach lining is soothed and strengthened, and normal digestion proceeds without hindrance or pain. Hook Drug Cos. and reliable druggists everywhere supply genuine “Bisurated” Magnesia, either in powder or handy tablet form. Taken as directed, it will bring almost instant relief from acid caused stomach troubles.—Advertisement.

advertising In food matters, and in encouraging dealers to be honest in their claims and their products. This developed today in connection with the association’s annual convention, when the board of trustees presented a report through Dr. Olin West dealing with fraudulent claims made as to “health virtues” of various food products. A special foods committee now gives “seals” of approval to certain foods meeting its standards, and refuses these to others, it was revealed. Some manufacturers, anxious to have the support of so powerful a body, have Indicated desire heretofore to change their products or advertising to concur with the association’s ratings. Through the committee’s efforts many manufacturers have been in-

duced to abandon trade names which make absurd claims or misrepresentation/^ Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the Association, speaking on “Food, Fads and Follies.” said that “every new discovery in medical science is promptly exploited beyond reason by commercial interests.” He ridiculed propaganda which to the effect that the inhabitants of uncivilized sections do not die of cancer because they do not eat white bread. “This is not true at all,” he said. “The most logical reason why uncivilized people do not die of cancer is because they do not live long enough. Cancer is a disease of eldonly people and the life span of the savage is about thirty-three years.”
