The play adapted from Alexandre Dumas’) play, “Kean,” and is based on the | | life of Edmund Kean, the great is | | English actor who thrilled Great | | Britain with his Shakespearian roles |more than one hundred years ago. | The play, which deals with the | love affairs of Kean, is refreshing and will be greatly enjoyed by all |who are interested in London life | in the year 1808. At times Whiteside overplays his role, becoming dramatic to an ex- \treme. Judged as a whole, he gives a very fine performance whieh fa- vorably compares with any on Beadaar today. The supporting cast is likewise admirable, espe- jcially Hugh Bentley as the Prince of Wales. In many ways he is the most realistic of the entire cast, ich includes some unusually goad | actors end actresses. The Swedish | Ambassador is played by Manart | ippen; his wife by Lulu Mae Hub- |bard, and the leading lady by France Hele. Elwyn Eaton is superb in a | small role. | In addition to playing the lead- ing role, Mr. Whiteside has staged He is to be |congratulated on reviving this amus- jing comedy which was last played in the United States 80 years ago with its author, Charles Coghlan, portraying Clarence.

Rabelais died of pneumonia, Voronoff said, and his death in no way destroyed the theory that aged stallions may be given new strength by gland operations, whch have been -successful on smaller animals. The stallion was not given enough anesthetic when the operation was performed, and he awoke too quickly after the operation had been suc- cessfully performed. He began kicking, raisedea sweat and caught pneumonia, attendants said. Pneu- monia usually is fatal to an old stallion.

Grafo, a taxi driver. Tired after a hard days grind behind the wheel, Grafo pulled his cab to a side, at 46th St. and 6th Ave., and climbed into the passen- ger compartment of the cab and went to sleep. Grafo had forgotten to shut off the motor and the carbon monoxide fumes entered the cab and was be- gining to work on the sleeping hack- man, when a cop, who through force of habit looked into the cab, shook the driver out of his slumber. He invited the tired hackie to get on his way. fo got out and started driving But he did not get very far away ;when his cab crashed head on into an elevator pillar. A passing taxi driver helped the cop extract Grafo from the wreck- age and rushed him to Polyclinic Hospital. Only after patching up Grafo’s bruises was it discovered that Grafo was suffering from the deadly carbon monoxide ‘fumes. After staying at the hospital a few days, getting a much needed rest, |Grafo was sent home. His cab has jbeen patched up and Grafo is back ‘at the wheel paying notes again.
