Certain it is that Old Lady 31 when produced by Lee “Kugel on the stage was one of the greafest theatrical successes New York ever saw. It ran for more than a year in the me- tropolis, and subsequently for long en- gagements in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi- cago and other large cities. It is even now being played “on the road,” so great is its charm and popularity. Emma Dunn, who is starred in Metro's picturi- zation of the comedy drama, created the leading role of Angie Rose on the stage and was specially engaged for stardom on the screen in the same characte ness and nobility, and just the sort “mother” role that brought fame to Miss Dunn on the stage.

The hearing was hell Monday afternoon at the commissioner's office in the Central building apd the finding was announced Friday afternoon. According to the commissioner’s 'find- ing the facts in the case are as follows: The respondent admitted at the hear- ing that on Febroary 3. 1320, the said Earl Warren was employed by L. A.
