Bathes Staged by Ira Hards | (Cast of Characters) Elinor Merriam ... Mary Stills Forbes Edward Broadley Bishop Johu L. Shime Dr. Gage .... . Romney Brent Mra Merriam Aline MacMahon Philip Latimer . . John Miltern (By Herald Reviewer) It a young doctor experimenting in endocrinology rejuvenates the grandmother of his fiancee and then discovers that the grandmother inspired by her retrieved elivir of youth, wants to make love to him, what can he do about it? The an- swer this amusing and novel situation is found in “Indian Sum- mer,” a three act comedy current at Parsons’ theater. Hartford. Getting away to a slow start—the first act needs rejuvenation—the play develops into a smart, modern comedy with smart, modernistic dia- logue. At times the lines sparkle with cleverly turned phrases and pin pricks of humor. The play's chief weakness is its lack of action | although the cast as Parsons’ pro- (duces it with skill. E Johu Miltern of New Britain (in | private life John Sheehan) has one | of the principal parts, that of Philip called by cable from |abroad to the side of the rejuven. ated grandmothcr—now a widow— with whom he had had an affair forty years earlier. He has not | been warned of the transformation and, not being aware of the situa- tion, fails to have his glands tinker- ed with or his youth restored in other ways. All of which proves disappointing to the grandmother, who cxpects to grect the dashing hero of her past whom she has not seen for four decades. Mr, Mil- tern, in his role, reflects the sea- soning of long experience on the stage. He is suave and polished and never fails to be interesting. His characterization of the British gentleman who has eyes to see and cars to hear in spite of advancing | age is altogether delightful. Aline MacMahon appears as Mrs, Merriam, “flaming age.” She has a charming part calling for unusual | talents which she reveals through- out the comedy. Romney Brent has just enough sang froid and nonchalance for his !role of Dr. Gage. His explanation of endocrinology to Bishop Bradford | is handled splendidly. John L.| Shine is the bishop, the pompo sanctimonious bishop who melts be. fore platitudinous empliments to bll| | greatness. Mr. Shine is well chosen | | for the role. Mary Stills is on a| | with Mrs. | days and perhaps for several weeks. | Par wjth the remainder of the cast Monsignor Pacelli, brother of the (a8 Elinor Merriam, the granddaugh- papal nuncio at Berlin, and professor | ter. formed for Relatives Today Watertown, Mass., Jan. 1§ UP— 8till another legal obstacle remained to be handled today before the bedy of Mrs. George Herman Ruth, es- tranged wife of Babe Ruth, could be taken to its last resting place. Mrs. Ruth died last Friday night in & fire at the home of Dr. Edward H. Kin- der, Boston dentist, here. She had been known to neighbors as Mra. Helen Kinder and authorities start- ed an investigation into the circum- stances of her death when it was learned Sunday that she was Mrs. Ruth. That was shortly before the hour which had been set for the funeral. District Attorney Robert T. Bush- nell ordered a second autopsy to be performed today on Mrs. Ruth's body, although he said that he was convinced that Mrs. Ruth died from suffocation and incineration, 88 Medical Examiner George L. West of Middlesex county had reported | after a first autopsy. District Attor- ney Bushnell said Dr. George A. Magrath, medical examiner of Suf-| folk county, would make the au- topsy today because he had equip- ment better adapted to a chemical analysis of the stomach than had Dr. West. s to Police Meanwhile Dr. Kinder, who had been in hiding since early Saturday, reported to the Watertown police of his own accord and submitted to four hour's questioning. Afterwards Chief of Police John F. Milmore an- | nounced that Dr. Kinder had satis- factorily explained his connection with Mrs. Ruth and with the cir- cumstances of her death., The case was closed as far as the Watertown police were concerned, Chief Mil- more said. Dr. Kinder told police, according to chief Milmore, that he had lived Ruth at intervals since 1927, that he had never married her, but that, there was nothing “morally wrong” with his relations with Mrs. Ruth. The chief declar-| od, that Babe Ruth knew that his| wife was living at the Watertown address with him. The Ruths have | Dbeen seperated for three years. “Dr. Kinder told us, said Chief| Milmore, “that on §aturday night | he walked the streets in distraction, | fearing the story was coming out.| He remained in seclusion on Sunday on the advice of his father, who told | him there was nothing to fear.” | Can't Recall Chief Milmore said that Kinder admitted he might have told Med- | streets, open about 11 o'clock last | Abdication of Amanullah 2 year old Dorothy Ruth, who is at a school in Wellealey.

London, Jan. 15 UM—King Am- anullah and Queen Bourlya, fallen rulers of Afghanistan, were believed today to be likely to seek political vefuge in Europe. The present position of the form- er rulers was uncertain but they were supposed to be in Kandahar, Afghanistan. It was thought unlike- | ly that they would stay long since they would enjoy little security in | their own country after their loss ot power. | It was assumed that if they were not already on their way to a safer retreat they would soon be making | for the frontier, probably trying to reach Quetta by airplane to escape | pomible vengeance at the hands o(f Moslem fanatics whom attempts at reform had zngered. Amanullah was supplanted by his elder brother, Prince Inayatuwllah, whom he supplanted with the help of the army after his father's mur- der in 1919. ‘While there was nothing novel in | & king having to vacate the unstable | throne of Afghanistan, it was point- ed out that Amanullah was the first Afghan sovereign to quit for at- temp to introduce the western ideas of civilization among the flery Mos- lems. One writer described the everturn as due to the former queen’s desire to wear western frocks in public, ! which was in opposition to the Ori- ! ental habit of concealing women in | the home or harem. i The largest bronze statue in the | world ia the winged statue of ictory, | near Turin, England, €0 feet in height.

Permission to request the Com- | munity Chest to conduct a drive for funds to pay off the debt of the Grace hospital, was also favored by t committee.
