That is one reason, I beileve, for the success of ‘The Barretts of ‘Wimpole Street,” which is pure romance with a happy ending, as well as for that of ‘Grand H:tel.” “In bad times, the public wants pleasant plays and stage romance, not realism and hard facts.” | JANET RICHARDS Public Questions: Home and Foreign | Every Monday Morning at 11 O’Clock Willard Room, Willard Hotel Ads and 1 Strickland Gi hlun ‘Humorist-Philosophe: 'North of the Ears’ Miriam Fisher, Xylophonist Eugene Kressin, Baritone Adolph Torovsky, Planist Adelaide Flanagan, William Rodon and Company, Ballet Dr. and Mrs, Russell McNitt G.
