TURKEYS ARRIVING FORHOLIDAY TRADE { Most Shipments From Vir- ginia—Country Pork Supplies Increase. Turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday | are_reaching local market. Most | of the early arrivals are from Virginia according 1o s, Tennessee and other turkey raisers in the South | expecting to get their birds here the | coming week. AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—"Macbeth.” Punctuating a season marked thus far by lighter forms of theatrical offer- ings, “Macbeth,” considered by many to be Shakespeare’s master tragedy, opened a week’s engagement at the National last night with Miss Florence Reed and a notable cast of players. In no other work, perhaps, has the great author brought out so forcefully the theme of retribution. Vaulting ambition, destroying everything in its path, is at last destroyed by the forces upon which it has wreaked its unholy purposes. In this play Shakespeare has freely used the powerful ally of superstition to make more dreadful the Witches, goblins and other creatures of the dark only add to the horror of deeds which reccive thelr just deserts in the final triumph of good over evil. It is reporied that the turkeys thus | far received have been in splendid con- | dition. Ma of them will be cared for | in commission hou: il the time| for killing arrives. The time of killing | will be governe ¢ weather con- | ditions. Live turkeys this mo quoted at 40 and 43 cents, ock | being quoted at 50 and 55 c ‘While it is yet too early to determine just what retail price will prevail at Thanks- giving, according to reports of mer- chants, it is believed there will be about a 60-cent market. Pork Supplies. Cooler weather and snow yesterday suggested to dealers in the local mar- bility of hog k and and Vi largely ag : upplies of country pork are i re mands for sauerkraut and g tables, both being fairly plentiful and cheap. Dealers still have small quantities of | green corn to offer the trade. It is| not in the best condition, however, and receipts are so small that whoiesale | prices are not quoted. It is late in the season for the vegetable, dealers state, and because of its scarcity, it is stated, it finds ready sale. A few home-grown tomatoes still are being received from nearby growe most of them ripened under gla Prices depend entirely upon size and condition of the vegetable. Florida _growers are supplying the | Jocal market quantities of cucumbers, squash and string beans, supplies being light. Bushel hampers of the beans were quoted at $4 and $4.50 this morn- ing. Cucumbers were quoted at $4, while the squash brought $5 and $5.50. Moderate supplies of potatoes, cabbage, celery and lettuce and light receipts of onions were reported. Dealers reported a continued firm condition of the butter and egg market, prices of both commodities as well as those of most other foodstuffs remain- ing unchanged.

It seemed that she fitted more easily into the Oriental role. At y rate, she dominated the action of he Shanghai Gesture” to a much an she did the scenes Shakespeare’ terpicce. But a compari be unfair, Last night she was capable of convey- ing to her audience the tremendous character she portrayed and her per- formance was worthy of the highest praise. There is, of course, a vast difference between the group of people in “Mac- beth” and that in “The Shanghai Ges- ture.” Even the minor characters of Shakespeare stand out in their own ex- cellence and thus give opportunity for the display of talent seldom, if ever, found elsewhere. (And Miss Reed is surrounded by a cast of unusual ability. Lyn Harding is a splendid Macbeth, both in voice and personality. .His scenes with his ambitious consort are convincing.

Doug- las Ross, as King Duncan, and Percival Vivian, as the porter, are also worthy of mention. The settings ara excellent, particu- larly the scenes depicting the witches on the heath and in the cavern and the palace of Macbeth. The entire fourth act presents a memorable and striking picture. SHUBERT-BELASCO—"The Sacred Flame.” W. Somerset Maugham’s newest play, | 2 mystery-tragedy with a silver lining, | did not get well under way in interest | last night until the second act. The performance then attained heights of { intensity and brilliance during this act, and after this settled down and merely ended. How it ended is the mystery. The first act can almost be tossed out. | Tt is one of those things about which | something will undoubtedly bz done. An aviator, “cracked up” about a year after he was married, has for five years been a hopeless invalid. He has |'an abiding faith in and devotion for "ms wife, who, it early becomes apparent in the first act, has given her love to her brother-in-law. This is about all | of the first act. |, The plot gains considerable momen- | tum right at the start of the second act, | when it is discovered that the invalid has died in the night. The piece speeds up still more when, with the family doctor announcing his intention of giv- ing a certificate of death from heart trouble, he is confronted with the asser- tion of the invalid’s nurse that the patient was murdered. An overdose of a sleeping potion, she points out, was the weapon. The wife, she points out also, was the last person with the pa- tient. Then the nurse springs her final shot; she tells the family that the wife is to become a mother. With this bombshell to play with the third act opens and the news is defi- nitely out that the child is not to be the heir-apparent of the invalid husband. The web of circumstantial evidence closes about the wife with the suspicious nurse, a highly virtuous and conscien- tious woman and admittedly in love with her patient, weaving it deftly and strong. ‘The case is all ready to be presented to the coroner when the culprit comes forward and confesses in a startling way. The feminine members of the cast completely carry away the honors, with the heaviest vote from last night's house being the portion of Nurse Wayland played by Claire Eames. As Mrs. Tab- ret, mother of the slain man, Mary Jer- rold has a wonderful part and glorifies it. Jane Reynolds, as the wife, does her | bit well.

Lipford was attempting to cross the | street when he was struck. Painfully | injured, he made his way to the Howard | House, 600 Pennsylvania avenue. The room clerk summoned police and the Emergency Hospital ambulance. Five other persons were slightly in- jured in traffic accidents yesterday. Samuel Helper, 23 years old, 1627 First street, was struck and knocked down near his home last night by a truck operated by Earl Gillett of Clarendon, Va. He was treated at Sib- ley Hospital for an injury to the right | hand.
