For sheer, mile-a-minute melo- drama, with deep-dyed villains, beautiful heroines, noble heroes and all the other familiar components of melodrama of this type, “The Whip” can scarcely be surpassed. It has train wrecks, a hero with amnesia, an automobile smashup, numerous falls from horses both un- intentlonal and otherwise, enough plots to start twenty South Amer- ican revolutions and divers other ac- companying highlights, As an added attraction the first all talking comedy “The Lion's Roar" will be presented on this program along with a new chapter of “The Collegians.” Beginning Sunday the Capitol of- fers George Bancroft in an all talkie “The Wolf of Wall Street” with Baclanova, Paul Lukas and Nancy Carroll, Astrid and Leopold May Cut Their Visit Brussels, Belgium, Feb, 27 (®— Publication by a Dutch newspaper of the alleged Franco-Belgian mili- tary accord, which has met with de- nial both in France and Belgium, has had at least one unexpected re- purcussion. The advisability of shortening the tour of Crown Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid to the Dutch East Indies is now being dis- cuased in responsible quarters, Final decision is nnderstood to depend on the Dutch government’s reaction to the publication and on the suggested inquiry into the mat- ter.

London, Feb. "27 (M—Bernard Shaw is resting from the labors of a three-act play, *“The Apple Cart,” the announcement of which brought him new invitations to visit the United States, but Shaw resolutely sticks to his decision never to set foot in that hustling, bustling land which worships literary lions. At 73 BShaw fears Americans would make such a fuss over him that life wouldn't be worth living. Years ago when he would have gone to America, he had to work as hard as a cockney cart horse. Now he is rich and famous; every year Amari- cans tempt him across the Atlantic, but all fail. Imphesarios who try to sign him for lecture tours ruin their chances by the sheer magnitude of their offers. Great bags of gold dangle be- fore him, but 8haw lectures only for “causes,” not money. He persistent- ly refuses American offers because he knows that the large fees offered for his appearance would mean vast audiences in great auditoriums where his sense of appreciation of his audience would be negliigible. No Pay for Lectures Shaw probably is one of the finest public speakers living, but his subject, or the purpose of the meet- interest or his sympathy. Good busi- ness man that he is, Shaw never ac- cepts a penny for his lectures. Fabian society might still entice him to America. But the New York so- ciety hostess who offered him $25,- 000 to cross the ocean, dine with her, converse with her guests for an hour or s0 and take the next boat home if he wanted to, won't land Shaw, though he lives as long as Methuselah himself. Here in England Shaw is deluged with invitations, pleas and demands that he be present at all sorts of private and public functions, those who invite his usually must be satisfied with a postcard.

HARTFORD Just before the production of “Saint Joan” in London, this writer heard Shaw talk about the play— how and why he had written it— for nearly three hours to a small group. The talk,.if advertised, would bave drawn thousands. Still Writing Plays Shaw at 72 continues to write for the stage, but it is a difficult task to get him to talk from one. It took London many years of handclapping to get a curtain speech from him. He believes the glory of the footlights belongs to hard work- ing actors. Royalties satisfy him. He doesn’t approve of authors hanging arqund after the last curtain to talk about how kind everybody has been. ‘However, when the British censor at last raised the ban and permitted “Mrsl Warren's Profession” to be staged 25 years after it was first produced in New York, an insistent audience on the night of the dress rehearsal, largely complimentary seat holders, howled and howled for the author.

Miss Thorndyke tried to drag Shaw from the wings. Then she urged the house to keep up the applause—she would per- suade him to come out. She came to the footlights for a moment to say he would come, but as she was saying it, Shaw fled from the stage door for home.

Alderman A. J. Prignano, against whom the forces of “Boss” Eller were concentrated in the 20th, was defeated by Willlam V. Pacelli, state representative. Both candidates re- ceived death threats before the election, Alderman Titus Haffa, under two year penitentiary sentence following conviction for violation of the feder- al prohibition laws, was swamped in the 43rd by A. F. Albert, The Municipal Voters' league, an independent citizens' advisory or- ganization, stated that the election will mean *“a great improvement” over the present council. The league statement said there “is every indi- cation that after the run-off elece tion the council will have a number of aldermen who will themselves and resist the ence of the Thompson machine.” The league noted that in the &4 wards in which it made recommens dations 17 of its choice were electedy and that a run-off will be in several others. “Unfortunately.' the statement adds, “the Thompeo® followers in 12 of the wards hawg been elected.” Loses in 8th The outstanding setback suffered by Thompsonians was in the eighth ward where Alderman William Dy Meyering, a persistentecritic of the Thompson program, was reelected. ‘Three propositions were approved by the voters.
