BOSTON FAVORABLE 70 ‘THE LADDER' Critics apd Audieace Enjoy Famous Play Boston, Nov. 13.—(UP)—Boston Bramatic critics reacted quite favor- ably today to “The Ladder,” which Bame to the Boston opera house last Bight after an expensive 111 weeks on Broadway. Approximately 1,000 curious Bos- fonians paid $850 to witness the lo- Eal debut of the extraordinary show Which played to almost-empty houses in New York at a loss of Bomethng like $1.500,000 to its sponsor, Edgar B. Davis, Brockton tillionaire. No miatter how well “The Ladder” Ys received here, however, it will be- come extinct at the end of two weeks, according to advance notices. “Here's what Boston's dramatic critics had to say: The Herald The Herald—" “The Ladder’ moves quickly, with a crisis every three minutes. 1t is sprinkled with humor, in spite of its discussion of the march of civilization through the mges, and the cast is good. In fact, 1f you have nothing to do some eve- ning, it's we You can always get it back.” The Glob: ast night's audience appreciated it immensely—which Wwill tickle New York if New York ‘ever hears of it. They laughed out- right at the comedy: they applauded vigorously at cvery curtain fall, and they recalled the company several times at the close. The play is es- \eellently performed. Necessarlly, the leading characters ‘wre somewhat stilted, but the char- | lacter sketches in the group of studio ‘models, and the personalities in the wsion scenes, are fascinating.” Not Bad Play The Post—"No, it is not a bad play. It moves too slowly to be a go0d one. ft is too choppy to be a muccesatul one, and its story lacks | fonviction cither in the telling or in | {the acting. The acting is uniformly {good, but never exceptional.” SAYS U. §.

It is now practically certain that provision will be made for 15 addi- tional United States cruisers. The cruisers matter less in themselves than as evidenee they give of an in- crease in suspicion of European mo- tives and ambitions. “Mr. Coolidge is still come to terms over final disarma- sment but is less hopeful than he ‘was, it is the same in the economic sphere. There is no reason to doubt that Mr. Coolidge reflects the na- ‘tional mind and it matters little that uomc of his arguments are bad. 8o ‘long as the armed peace broods over Europe. and so long as European ,policy is liable to be dominated by some militaristic inspiration as gov- erned the Geneva conference and the Anglo-French compromise, the United States is bound to be driven back upon herself. “America was moving towards Furope and is now moving away. The responsibility for this change lies primarily at the door of certain European governments and not least conspicuously that of Great Britain. Doubtless the direction could be changed again but it Furope wants American help she must be prepared to pay the price, which is onc we need not be ashamed to pay.” Six Missing in Wilds Of Hudson Bay Land Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 13 (P —Six employes of the dominion depart ment of marine and fisheries werc missing today in the “Barren Lands” between Fort Churchiil and the end of the line of the Hudson Bay Rail- way company in northern Manitoba Search was made by airplanc and land partie: The men left Churchill November 3, headed for “Mile 412" on the Hudson Bay railway, 100 mils away, where they could make rail connections for the They car ried little food sleeping bags or tents, depc g for shelter on ~cabins, located about 25 miles apart between Fort Churchill and destination.
