MONDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER 8, 1924 MD PtHRWfT, T 0 0| Rumanian Minister at Washing ton Produces New Farce En titled ‘Married Life’ r BY HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—As dramatist, Prince Antoine Bibesco, I Rumanian minister to the Uniteu States, is a prize diplomat. That seems to be the decision oi first-nighters who witnessed the opening here of a new “farce” by playwright entitled Life.”’ On the theory that a diplomat is measured by his ability to keep ethers guessing, never permitting the people to know definitely just what’s what, the reviewers are that the diploma, held the upper hand of the playwright du ring the composition of the play. For even after a post-premiere consultation, during which they in terviewed each other at length, th critics were unable to decide what it was all about. The. one point which agreement; was reached was that the “farce,” if farce it was—they epundn’t agree pn that—would have to undergo a major operation by dramatic sur geons if it is to live out the season. This verdict doubtless was a hard blow to the prince. Possibly it lowered the regard in which he has insisted he held Washington audien ces. ■ ■ No less a personage than her royal highness, Queen Marie of Rumania, was a patroness, by proxy, at the premiere, and diplomatic Washing ton was out in full force, swelter ing in the boxes through one of the hottest and most enervating even-I ings the capital has known in years. Both as a literary and social af fair, the opening of the Bibesco dra ma had been looked forward to as a possible milestone in capital life.

Here was no novice at the playwright's pen, but a cosmopolitan gentleman, a dip lomat and a prince, withal, with Eu ropean successes to certify his ab ility as a man of letters! Perhaps being a diplomat lias som thered Bibesco’s dramatic facility. I Perhaps the exactions of the English language hamstrung his efforts at expression. Or perhaps Washington critics are too provincial and tfn sophisticated to grasp the “nignifi cmice of the situations presented in. “Married Life.” Anyway, the consensus of criti cal opinoin seems summed up in the following paragraph form the most kindiv review: “Either one thing or the other: Prince Bibesco has written the great est play ever produced in America or he has staged the biggest joke. The play should be cut at the begin ning. in the middle and at the end.” Which statement reveals the re viewer ss more dramatic :han diplo matic.

Harris, with Americus members of {he Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers and the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Firemen and Engineers each furnished with copies. The rec ommendations contained n the let ter are based, it is stated thereon, upon “a thorough examination or the records of all of the senators and congressmen.” The letter begins with tiie name of United States Senator William, J. Harris, and the name cf Senator Walter F. George is not mentioned there in. Os Senator Harris, who ’s a candidate for, re-election in the September-primary, the letter say-5' “Uniter States Senator —Senator William J. Harris, Democrat, x has worked and voted tor every measure in the interest of all the people. He has a one hundred per cent rec ord, and he should by 1 all means ba renominated.” I Os Congressman Charles R. Crisp, ■ who is also a candidate for re-elcc- I tion without opposition, and who will be voted upon by the people of this district, the letter states: “3rd District— Coongrcssman Charles R. Crisp, Democrat, worked and voted for—and in fact was the author of—-the amendment to the House rules which permitted the House to discharge a committee u[>- on petition of one hundred members, thus assuring the pople that com mittees packed with reactionaries {could'not kill tncritbi'iou-: legislation. IHe voted against the Mellon tax I rates. He voted for sufficient ap propriations .for the Federal Trade Commission in order that it might continue to take up and conduct investigations of alleged violation erf the la.w of big buisiness. He voted for increased compensation for pos tal employees, which bill was vetoed by President Coolidge. He demon strated that he was really and since rely opposed to war, also in favor < f economy in Government affairs, when he voted for the performance of Govenment work in Government navy yards, and arsenals, instead of contracting this work out to private profiteers. He worked and votetd at 41 times for the Howell-Barkley Bill.” Altogether the letter constitutes four closely typewritten, pages, which precludes the feasibility of printing the whole text in The 1 imes-Recorder. The recommenda tions as these affect candidates" to' be voted upon in this district, how ever, are extracted that they may be placed in their entirety re-fore resi dents of Americus and surrounding territory. After reciting recommendations i s to the several congressmen and Senator Harris, the letter concludes with a statement signed by W. S. Stone,'president, B. of L. E., and D. B. Robertson, president, B. of F. & E., as follows: Knowing as we do the high stan dard of appreciation and reward for loyal service rendered that has been established by the membership of our organizations, we are confident RAILROAD SCHEDULES Arrival and Departure of Passengej Trains, Americus, Ga.
