CONVICTIONS ARE SAID T0-BE SURE Buckner Promises Dry-Thanks: giving--Prominent Folks on Lists sessions of a list of prominent pa- trons of gilded cabarets where champagne flowed as of old—except in the matter of price—is one factor upon which Federal Attorney Buck- ner is counting for fulfillment of his predictions that there will be a dry Thanksgiving on Broadway. He believes that the proprictors of 40 exclusive places upon which notices of padlock proceedings have been served will consent to close their places without forcing jury trials, rather than have their books scrutinized or undergo the loss of prestigo they would suffer by hav- ing the names of their patrons re- vealed Names of some patrons of one of the cabarets under fire have already been revealed, without, however, any intimation that their chedks covered anything more than the heavy cover charge of expensive food. Prominent Names An announcement of the opening of Del Fey, one guilded palace in- volved in padlock proceeding when known as Del Fay, which has come into the possession of Mr. Buckner, says: “It is New Year's eve every night at the Del Fey.” The an- nouncement then mentions as among past visitors to the club Lord and lLady Mountbatten, Harry K. Thaw, Ann Pennington and sun- dry other stage and screen celebri- ties. Abe Attell, ex-pugilist, was caught carrying champagne into the club. Curiosity remains unsatisfied as to how Mr. Buckner obtained the evidence against places which, he says, had a regular Bertillion sys- tem of identification for patrons, in- volving introductions and serutiny through peepholes before admis- sion. Soon after he entered office he padlocked 14 cabarets by the ex- penditure of $1,400 for champagne through lawyer friends, one of whom was threatened with black- balling recently when up for admis- sion to the bar association. ~But these places were selling liquor more or less openly. Nothing has come to light as how| he obtained evidence against ex- clusive old-time bars at which men and women in' evening dress stood up to the brass rail or against heav- ily curtained after-theater clubs to which champagne and burgundy were supplied by piping systems, ases Are Certain “We have iron-riveted cases,” says Mr. Buckner, regarding the newest batch of places under fire, “and 1 will urge the court to hand down a 12 months’ padlock to each defendant who elects to fight” The best bargain obtained by a consent decree, he added, would be six months padlocking. He esti-} mated that all cases would be dis-| M A A BN front of the proscenium arch cre- ating on the stage an effect of nat- ural outdoor daylight. This makes it possible for the players to aban- don artificial make-up for counter- aclinf the shadows of the old time foot lights. Old fashionéd back drops and overhead “fliee” are replaced by the only “sky dome” in Chicago, a huge plaster wall beginning at the back of the stage and arching sixty feet overhead, on which scenic Jighting effects can be projected to accentu- ate the outdoor atmosphere of blue sky, clouds and storms. No Center Aisles The outdoor walle of the theater are mere parapets, about eight feet high, but the broad staircase leading down into the auditorium creates an appearance of spas¥ousness. The an- ditorium itself iy paore roomy than the usual “little thaater.” There arc no boxes and the geats are placed on the European an, rows widely spaced and no eenter aisles. THe stage ie, “he largest in Chi- cago, not only ¥ee proscenium width in view of the wtidience, but back- stage, which has space on either side for a 40-foot “wagon stage.” On these big wooden platforms the next scene is set, and when the curtain goes down, the completed set is rolled into place with only a mo- ment’s delay between curtains. These two wagon stages make it possible to handle elaborate per- formances within a minimum of stage help and the first season’s plays are being selected for this effect. In the premiere production, John Galsworthy's “The Forst,” the scene changes from a London office to an American jungle and back again, Shakespeare's “Mid-Summer Night's Dream” has been chosen as espe- cially adapted for production on the sky dome stage with its facilities for fpid changes of scene. The direct- or of the Meyerhold theater in Mos- cow, Marion Gering, will manag the production of George Kaiser” intricate ‘expressionistic play “Gas, during the winter. The faculty of the schoo! com- posers, for the most part, the cast of a permanent stock company for the production of classics, while the thirty students, chosen from hun- dreds of applicants, will present short plays and masques. For cer- tain plays, noted guests artists will e _included. The stage staff are, many of them, pupils of the school, which aims to create its own costumes and scen- | ery. A union scene painter has been working at the theater for several months with the encouragement of his union, to perfect his technique and study designing. The theater was donated to the city as a part of the art institute by the parents of Kenneth Sawyer Goodman, playwright, as a memorial to their &, who died in the World war.
