One letter sent to The Times recently by Claude Allison, manager of the Strand theater, 1332 East Washington street, in regard to the self-government plan, stated he intends rewarding the children. His letter follows: “Director Wally Middlesworth’s self-government system in the city parks is doing more good than people realize. I read an article about it and when it mentioned a theater for those who worked, I visited Willard park to see the matrons. Miss Welch, Miss Anderson, and lifeguard Christopher. “I offered them, for their workers, a free pass to the Strand any night they chose, for I was sure other managers would co-operate in their neighborhoods. Nine children will be our guests each week and when they heard about it, you should have seen them. They are to see the current attractions and, knowing that you will help, I want to say that anything you say on our park page is appreciated.” The children who worked in east side parks last week and who received free tickets to attend the Strand Thursday night included Peggy and Mary Norton, Bob and Mary Louise O’Callahan, Tom Griffen, Dick O’Connor, Ernie Donnelly, Ted Connelly, Jim Reilly and Catherine O’Brien. All children from east side playgrounds, through arrangements by Sergeant Timothy McMahon of the police accident prevention bureau, have been invited to attend a special free show at 10 Saturday morning.

7TSCOK A QffT BY BRUCE CATTON

FOR readers who like frothy and airy tales of murder and sudden death, the June list offers a good variety of entertainment. Up near the top of the list is “Montana Rides!” by Evan Evans (Harpers: $2). Here is a hard-boiled, competently told western thriller which has more realism than most books of that kind. It has to do with a remarkably tough young two-gun man of the old days in Texas, who tries to slip a raw deal over on a rich cattleman, makes a friend of him instead and takes him off into the wilds of Mexico to rescue the cattleman's daughter, kidnaped by bandits. All in all, it’s a thrilling and wellwritten western romance. A readable detective story is

“Blood on the Common,” by Anne Fuller and Marcus Allen (Dutton: $2). A bullet-perforated corpse is found on the common of a little town in New England at dawn, and the rural constable, aided by a young newspaper reporter from the city, has to solve the mystery. Complications arise from the traditional small-town gossip, which makes a suspect of everybody in the place . . . It’s not bad reading. If you like Francis Beeding, you’ll enjoy his newest item —“The Emerald Clasp” (Little-Brown: $2). A young English girl marries a retired army officer whom she meerts at a continental vacation spot, and gradually awakens to the fact that he is a conscienceless cutthroat who plans to put her on the spot and get her money. It is a bit slow in unwinding, but it contains a suitable number of regular Beeding thrills.
