To-Day is tlic vital and vivid story of New York life by Georsje Broadhurst and .Abra- ham Schomer, which has had the lontj- est run of any drama in New York this season. Yet, when it opened on Broadway, October 6. 1913, it was practically unanimously condemned to the storehouse by the New York re- viewers, who apparently could find nothing to commend it except its act- ing.

Milestones, the popular play by, .Arnold l>ennett and Edward KnoJ^." lauch, is repeating its Eastern svtic-\ cess on the Pacific Coast. It is' hailed as a clean play that is worth seeing. Sophisticated young wom- en are quite safe in taking their par- ents to see it. Bla.se theatregoers,' futurists, tango dancers and others with advanced views, will enjoy Milestones, too, because it appeals to all ages and all intellects.

PAUL, Feb. 23.—"The thea- tre as it now exists is a halfway house to hell," Dr. Richard Burton, head of the department of English at the University of Minnesota, saio in an address before the Minne.sotI Federation of Women's Clubf, which concluded a two days' meet- ing here last night. "The playhouse is the people's church," Dr. Burtol said, "but instead of uplifting theifl and making them better men an3 women, it demoralizes and degrades them.
