English and American stage dur

his best-Known works are “Mr.

The new Thalian - Blackfriars
production cannot be classifiad
technically as a comedy. Strictly,
it is a mystery story, although
the audience is admitted to the |

Halled As “Different”
Following its first performance
in London two years ago and its
subsequent year's run in New,
York city, critics hailed “The
Perfect Alibi" as a welcome re.,
lief from the wusual stereotyped
mystery play. During the past
few months, since it was released
for amateur production, it has
headed the list of choices for pro.
duction among little theaters over
the country. 1
The swiftly-moving plot and
‘gparkling lines of “The Pertect’

youthful actors. Its two leadingl
characters are young people of

He told a crowd of 8,000 persons

“Republicans who think more of
their party than of their country

are mistaken,” he said. ,
“1f we nominate a man who is no

He charged the Uniteg States
