THEATER TO DEVELOP
NATIVE DRAMATISTS
WELCOMES IN ROME
ROME, Mar. 26.—(AP).—The open
ing in Rome this month of the Tea
tro deli’Arte under the direction of
Italy’s famous dramatist, Luigi Pir
andello who is known to American
audiences by “Six Characters in
Search of an Author,” “Henry IV,’1
and several other productions, is
considered in theatrical circles here
1 an event of considerable importance
for the Italian drama in general, but
of incalcuable consequence to the
j theatrical life of the Itailian capital.
! The announced plan of Signor Pir
andello to give Rome a theatrical
playhouse worthy of the best tradi
tions of the capital of the Caesars,
in which native talent will be fos
tered and foreign works of quality
welcomed, is heartily commended
here in artistic circles, especially
| because of the noticeable absence
at present of such institution.
In fact, Rome is perhaps one of
the few great centers of European
culture where stage productivity has
not kept pace with dramatic develop
ment, and where the theater has not
been stimulated by the post war
wave of interest in the drama. While
scores of theaters and many artistic
and experimental companies are
J busy in Paris, Berlin, Prague, Bud
apest, Bucharest, Vienna and Lon
don, the Italian capital has but an
approximate ten playhouses, and of
these only a fewr devote themselves
to important native talent.
The Romans have been fed inter
national fare. At one playhouse a
Viennese light opera has had a long
run and is still playing. At several
other theaters translations of light
French plays have held the boards,
w'hile at another a famous French
company has just closed an engage
ment.
The most active company is di
rected by a Russian actress who has
produced with varying success pieces
by Wilde, Shaw, Chekoff, Pierre
Louys, W. Somerset Maugham and
works by other foreigners.
If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.

Every day you miss good news of an improve

you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
TELEPHONING MADE PLEASANT
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 26.—(AP).—
The “line’s busy” nuisance in tele
phoning has been mitigated in this
city through the installation of an
ingenious arrangement called the
“waiting lino.” It will apply the
“first come first served” rule to plac
es much in demand such as hospi
tals, drugs stores, doctors’ offices,
ticket agencies, information bureaus
and newspapers. This is done by the
reation of a special central and
whenever a number is reported to
be “busy” by the operator or the au
tomatic switching machine, the “wait
ing” is called and the desired num
ber duly recorded in the sequence
of its receipt. Then, as soon as the
line is clear, the connection is made.

Clyde Hill at Leesville, Ind., they car

shelving, an empty cash register and
a hanging lamp.
