THE OTHER NIGHT Merle Potter, the Minneapolis Times-Tribune’s drama critic, steppsd out on the stage of that city’s Lyceum- Theater wearing Jeeter Lester's tattered raiment, and played three minutes of “Tobacco Road” in answer to an actor’s taunt. Apparently, the stunt was a huge success. An overflow crowd packed the house. Except for the fact that Mr. Potter's build is more

suitable to Falstaff than to the emaciated Georgia patriarch, his performance seems to have been adequate. He and John Barton, the challenger, made curtain speeches of mutual admiration and trust. And Jack Kirkland, who dramatized “Tobaeco’ Road,”

Potter, though he once struck a New York critic who didn’t like one of his plays. By and large, it was a swell gag. But it still doesn’t setile the moot question of whether one must be able to lay an egg in order to pass judgment on an omelet. The Potter debut came about as the result of a review of Mr. Barton’s' performance. It was the critic’s opinion that Mr. Barton was overplaying the bawdy lines in Jeeter’s role at the expense of its more serious aspects. Whereupon the actor came up with the obvious retort, to the effect that “if you think you know so much about it, let's see you play the part yourself.” » 8 8 NOW MR. BARTON is, as far as touring companies are concerned, the noblest Jeeter of them all. Here in Indianapolis we have had opportunity to compare .his. portrayal with those of Charles Timblin and Taylor Holmes, and it has come off well in the compari= son. But that doesn’t make him, or any other actor, any less fallible , than| a critic. Mr. Barton’s excuse, in hurling the gauntlet in Mr. Potter's direction, was that he had played the part some 500 times, and never had received a! bad notice yet. Well, it is not impossible that, in the course of 500 repetitions, the fine edge might be worn off any portrayal, no matter how brilliantly conceived in the b2ginning. This is especially true waen the performances are given on tour and under conditions best

Cod Bills wil Dissppoar | If This Experiment Works.

By Science Service CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. T.— Trapping the heat of "the sun as it falls on the roof of a house and storing it in the basement for future use is to be attempted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology soon, as part of a long-ran program on the possibilities of us solar radiation as a direct source of energy. An experimental house, which the scientists plan to heat during the winter, air -condition during the summer and possibly even : supply with power, all with the energy of sunlight, has already been constructed and the research is expected to begin at once, One of the major features of the house is a large, well-insulated water storage tank which is to be used in ironing out: the fluctuations in heat which are inevitable with a source as variable as the sun. The heating system is based on a method of forcing air either over the hot surface of the tank: or through the coils of a refrigeration system which is also to be run on energy stolen from the sun. Prof. Hoyt C. Hottel,. who is in charge of the program, plans to try several types of “heat traps,” or energy collectors, during the research. First attention will be devoted to a shallow, box-like device which will be placed in a recess in the building’s roof. For a bottom this box has a thin sheet of metal, painted black to absorb as much of the sun’s heat as possible. Firmly fixed to this bottom is a series of small, thinwalled rote) tubes which are to be heated by contact with ‘the sheet and which will then pass this heat on to water circulating through them. This box has a series of glass covers, separated by dead air, through which nearly all the sunlight can pass but through which little heat can escape back to tke outside. The sunlight is converte to heat as it strikes the metal sheet and the whole arrangement has a layer of mineral wool beneath it to prevent heat escape in that direction. The warm water in the coils is then piped, through carefully insulated tubes, to the well-insulated storage tank where the engineers expect to keep it-hot anywhere from a few to six months, depending on the size of the tank. Prof. Hottel thinks it might be possible to hoard heat all summer and hoard an entire winter’s supply.
