There have been those who wondered that the prize should have been awarded this play which minces no words. But the stuff is drama, no doubt. It is tense and compelling from to curtain. There were those in the audience last night who dis- tinctly turned thumbs down on the show, but the majority liked it; they hung on the lines; they held their breath in silences when the tradition- al pin could have dropped with a tin- kle.

Honors go to Walter Gilbert, in an Intensely human, sympathetic and touching portrayal of the role of Tony, the Itallan grape grower, made rich by prohibition, who as an old man succeeded by a ruse in marrying a young and beautiful wife, then win- ning her love.

Out of this maze of deception, disil- lusicnment and emotional erisis into which the little girl is plunged at first she emerges into what appears to be supreme happiness with the old man, until a specter from that first terrible day and night arises to haunt the happiness of all. This brings to the play its tense climax, when all seems about to be shattered into a bursting skyrocket's daze of burning, conflicting elements and with nothing ahead but the long, black drop to earth below. Then old Tony claims the expected child of Joe and Amy as if it were his own, and the apparently broken threads are patched up in a surprising finale. Russell Fillmore gives an excellent portrayal of the doctor, and Ftfancis Fraunie is entertaining as the post- man. There are several hilarious Ital- ian hangers on and workers on Tony's g, farm, brightening up the show with plenty of clamor. MUTUAL—“Vamps of 1927.” A bright and snappy revue is being presented this week at the Mutual by the “Vamps of 1927.” Many difficult dance numbers are presented both by the principals and the chorus. Johnnie ‘Weber, star of the show, has much to offer in the way of comedy, and is evidently appreciated by the audi- ence. Rose Bernard has a good voice. Doris Stone, Dollie Barringer, George Mack, Tony Curley and Sam Lewis, with the chorus, round out the attraction. —_— PLANT LIBERTY TREES. Patriotic Societies Memorialize 13 Original States. PHILADELPHIA, October 12 (#).— Thirteen oak trees, living memorials to the valorous deeds of the patriots of the original Colonies, were planted in the native soil of these States in Independence Square yesterday.

LEAGUE REJECTS ABYSSINIA DEMAND Refuses to Publish Note of Independence as Urged in Appeal. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, October 12.—Abyssinia’s note indicating the action which the imperial government wishes the League of Nations to take regarding the Anglo-Italian demarche for con- cessions in Abyssinia was published yesterday, after being held for a full week in the league's archives. The note reiterates the absolute in- dependence of Abyssinia and asks that the note be registered and published in the same manner as the British and Italian exchanges on the subject. This request, which might be taken as an effort by the Abyssinian gov- ernment to interpret the Anglo-Ttalian documents, is refused by the League's secretary-general, Sir Eric Drum- mong. In a letter to the Abyssinian rep- resentative, Sir Eric says there is no precedent for registering and pub- lishing a unilateral declaration in the League's treaty series. A suitable reference will, however, be inserted in the treaty series after | the text of the mnotes exchanged be- tween the British and Italian gov- ernments, and_the Aby wn note will be especially forwarded to Lon- don and Rome. Six thousand workers in leather plants of Lithuania are on strike. Snail Has 1,500 Teeth. The common garden variety of snail has 1,500 teeth, while the great black slug h: more than 30,000 of them.
