Charles Mylott plays the dad in “Adam and Eva’ and it is a sure het that some of the hard worked (and that goes both ways) dads are going to get a big kick out of this performance. You may recognize some-of the other folks in the family—Uncle Horace, the old gentlemen sponger, played by George Dunigan; dad's &on-in-law, Clinton, who thinks work iz only a word in a dictionary, played by Harold Preston. Irving Morrow, Pearl Young. Mary “Bryant, Sally Wall, Peter Ferguson and the other Garrick favorites all have parts that will keep you laughing. . Reed Says Worms Are All Right for Bait 8t.

CURTIS CONFERS INCHIGAGO TODAY Spends Two Hours En Route to Heary, IIL Chicago, Sept. 18 (UP)—Senator Charles Curtis, fast-moving repub- lican nominee for vice president, spent two hours in conference with officials of western campaign head- quarters here today en route from Evansville, Ind., to Henry, I, dis- cussing his October speaking pro- gram among other things. Curtis has a full schedule in the west for the remainder of this month but his plans for the closing week of the campaign are indefinite cago for a speech October 3. Addresses Two Gatherings The energetic Kansan addressed two political gatherings yesterday at Evansville, Ind. At a luncheon he victory in November, and at a mass meeting last night he pledged his party to quick and effective solu- tion of the farm problem. Curtis attacked Gov. Alfred E. Smith's proposals for modification of the prohibition and immigration laws, The senator was enthusiastically received at both of yesterday's meet- ings and secemed well pleased with | the reports he received from Hoosier ' republican leaders. ‘The one fly in the ointment was & | complication arising from the pres- ence of Governor Ed Jackson, re- cently indicted on a charge of at. tempted bribery but freed under the statute of limitations. He was not asked to speak at the Curtis luncheon although several other guests, some of them less prominent, were called upon. Wheth- er his omission from the program was inadvertent or intentional, Jackson's friends obviously were piqued. The governor addressed the eve- istration, but surrendered the plat- form as soon as Curtis entered the hall. MAY HAVE EPIDEMIC London, Scpt. 18 (UP) — Dr. P.

Case (By the Herald Reviewer) Thomas Mitchell has scored again. ; This is the word that went out from Parsons’ theater, Hartford, last evening after the presentation of “Little Accident.” The message was based on the consensus of the several hundred present who ex- pressed their enjoyment over a thoroughly amusing play. The theme might have shocked Grandma and it may ‘even outrage the sensibilitics of certain Comstockian persons but ‘only the hypersensitive will take of- fense. Norman Overbeck is about to be !married when he receives a note trom Isabel Drury, who is a patient at the Ellen Harris hospital, Chica- §0. The cryptic message refers to 4 friendship which existed between Norman and Isabel while the for- mer was at Hartford and the latter was an art student in Boston. He ts the hospital and discovers first to his dismay and then to his de- [Ilgh_l that he is a father of a baby there. But Isabel refuses to marry him because she does not !ove him and she had authorized thie hospi- tal to give the child away to foster parents. Norman remonstrates. He Suggests marriage as the logical thing but Isabel is engrossed in her art, is about to sail for Paris for further study and cannot be both- ered with a husband and a baby. IAfter she departs Norman stealthily removes the tiny mite from the hos- pital. The developn.cnts form a story of fascinating Interest gener- ously interlarded with birth. Hartford society was out en masse last evening to pay tribute to Miss Elvia Enders of that city, who has one of the leading roles in the play. Her work exceeded the expectations of even her warmest admirers. Mitchell appears in the charac- ter of Norman Overbeck with natur- alness and skill. It is a 24 carat +Mitchell part. Kay Johnson is on the stage hardly long enough to re- veal her talents but while there hep 1performance is in keep'ng with the excellence of other members of the cast, Recognition for merit is due Ma!. colm Willlams, Fleming Ward, Olga !Hanson, John Butler, drian Rosley and Patricia Barciay. | “Little Accident” will bhe repeated jtonight and tomorrow night with a | mnfinee tomorrow. _— ORDERED TO OPEN CHURCHES Mexico City, Sept. 18 (UP)—Por- tes Gil, minister of the interior, has ordered the governors of states to open any Catholic churches which still may remain closed, and appqint local committees to act as caretak- crs. The religious situation is not affected by the order, as all churches jwere ordered opened after the priests left, ever, the re-opening was neglected. EMERSON’ STUDIO DANélNc !

The storm struck West Palm Beach Sun- day afternoon and the Muskoffs reached Jacksonville last night after a drive over mllel of debris littered highways. Mass of Debris “The town,” said Mr. Muskoff, a young Jacksonville attorney, “was| one mass of debris. The streets were 80 littered as to make them al- most impassable. “We were driving up Miami and reached. West Palm Beach shortly after noon. A brisk wind was blowing. Suddenly a roof of a building went sailing through the sky.' I looked around for the most secure hotel I could find and drove there. When we got out of the car we could not walk against the| wind. “As we entered the hotel there were many others already there. The crowd stood about, looking out doors. By this time a drenching rain had set in. There could be heard crashes and rumblings. The tiles on our hotel roof clanked off to the pavement at irregular intervals. Hit in Afternoon “The first storm struck about ¢:30 in the afternoon. It must have lasted a couple of hours, then there was a lull of an hour or so and it came again. The second storm seemed to be the worse of the two. The firgt wind was from the north and the second from the south. Builldings Wrecked “I would estimate that mearly 20 per cent of the houses in West Palm Beach were wrecked or damaged. Many buildings were wrecked, but the bigger and more substantial buildings stood, of course, although many windows were blown out. “A string of furniture stores on North Poinsetta strect was hard hit. “The man where 1 put my car said it was the only storage garage of any size to withstand the storm And " the walls of this building—the service garage—were only partly there. *8o viclous was the wind it snap- ped off cocoanut palms—you know how tough they are supposed to be. “The high wind shipped the rain into places it would not have gone ordinarily, and this must have'add- ed to the discomfort as well as to the damage. People Cut and Bruised “I saw a number of people with | cuts and bruises and one or two with broken limbs. It was a rather gruesome sight, people with their from | Fall Carnival Week! heads tied up, a know whether ther were any deaths. 1 asked the police chief and he said he didn't see how the town could have escaped without some deaths ‘Some of the injured were taken to our hotel, and others of the wounded to other huildings, includ- ing the court house. “The crowds wer: as a whole or- derly, although some of them ap- peared a little excited. They stood about in the corridors of the build- ings. Some of the youngsters were crying. There were no lights, no| water and no gas. Drinking water was scarce until the American le- ion men found some. The legion | also distributed blankets. Ronds Littered “The roads were littered much of | the way out of West Palm Beach for a distance of about 45 miles up as far as Stuart. After that, we did | not see much stoem damage. “Not much was ahead of Palm Beach as it is across some water, and telephone lines were down."

Tull. In keeping with her almost regal| endowment, the girl inherits a 2,300 acre estate near the eastern shore | of Maryland. It is acres and acres | more than her father had in the little farm where she lived until Dr. | Tull took a fancy to her and a few | months before his death adopted | her. | It all sounds like a dream to Ed-| na Jane, but the legal aspects are secured by the final decision handed down in Somerset (ounty court. When the will was read which made Edna Jane an heiress, Louis Tull Baker of Baltimore, and Rob- ert Jones. a half-brother of the doctor, protested the will saying the doctor's mind was unbalanced. However, they accepted $75,000 from the estate and the rest belongs to Edna Jane except for a life an nuity of $300 a month for her sis- | ter, Ruth, 15. | Both sisters are now in the Bryn Mawr school at Baltimore, Dr. Tull was a New York doctor before his retirement to Maryland.
