T h e Vanderbi l t Thea te r in N e w York lias a new crook play enti t led " In the N e x t Room," and luckily for all pa r t i e s interested, it has all the earmarks- , of being one of__the big h i t s of the c u r r e n t season. T h e a u t h o r s a r e Mrs . A u g u s t Belmont, who was k n o w n l n the rea lms of d rama a s Eleanor RoPSon. and H a r ­riet Ford , who have succeeded in doing a deft feat in p laymaking. Murders a r e commit ted in the next room of a peculiarly myster ious kind and in i den ­tically the same m a n n e r ; not a shot is fired, nor is there a n y gun-p lay . Ono af ter ano the r of iiie inmates of the house fall under reasonab le suspicion. A3 .usual, the chief-novelty lies in the p r e ­c i se means by which the murde r s a r e committed.—"The e-i iafj ictcrsi ire^ist incf^ ly and sympathetically" d rawn . Thri l l follows thrill until a t the conclusion, if one is susceptible to such th ings , there is a feeling of "relief when the solution to all is given. Not in m a n y moons -has a mys te ry play lieen so wel! acted. Not one of the players seems conscious of-the fact, t ha t he o r she is merely a cha rac te r i i f ' the play. There is a de­cidedly h u m a n touch in every rendit ion. The play is full of little t r icks tha t mean so much and often m a r k the difference between a success and a failure. I t will remain a t the A'nnderbilt unti l t he {lowers are- blooming in the Spr ing.

She besought ' h e Lord to bless fa ther and mother nnd sister and brother , and to make Alary a coed girl, and then phe lustily said "Amen." The listener gavr» a s igh :

"There's no prayer for grandmother?" <:ho asked.

Alary eyed her silently for a moment . Thereupon she gallantly tossed her head: "Grandmother ." she replied with dignity, "I 'm speaking of the Smith family."
