Because it did make audiences laugh, at least part of the time, (he producers tried to ride out the storm, but were obliged to quit after 13 weeks with a lose estimated at $90,000.

Aware that an adverse verdict on boom-or-bust Broadway does not necessarily mean that a play is not worth seeing elsewhere, the Vagabond Players revived it last night in their playhouse in the Congress Hotel, Defects. Magnified Unfortunately for all concerned, Mr. Holm's bit of supernatural fooling does not lend itself readily to the arena style. The close-up pres entation greatly magnified its de lects, and those who see it Here may wonder how it ever got to New York at all. The basic plot, however, has quite a few built-in.

sure-fire laughs, arising from the story itself. The spectator, however, must check his reason at the door and indulge for the evening in a naive belief in ghosts. The heroine (Dorothy Cotton) Inherits one of these with an old house on Gramercy Square. Killed by the lobsterback while carrying a vital message, the ghost was believed a traitor, and condemned to haunt the place until he can deliver the mesage to a descendant of the man to whom it was addressed. Sees And Talks With Ghost Miss Cotton can see and talk with the ghost, but others cannot, and this casts some doubt on her mental status, on the part of her fiance (Herman Bainder) and his rival (Robert David).

Since the former Is a rich stuffed-shirt and the latter a poor but impudent writer, it is obvious from the first how this part of the story will turn out; but there are unusual complications when the 200-year-old spook (Thomas V. Lewis) alsos falls in love with her. The thief difficulty with the New York production was the too, too solid flesh in which the apparition was clothed, and in the Baltimore version, he is plainly a live actor wearing a Revolutionary outfit from the local costumer's. Aside from this and other unsolved production difficulties, this is not, in any department, one of the Vagabonds' better efforts.

The check was given to Francis M. Andrews, superintendent of the school, by Malcolm Neifeld. who was president of the club last year when the money was raised.

In thanking the club members for their generosity, Mr. Andrews said the hearing aid, which was bought last October, has been of "tremendous value" to the students. Each Phone Regulated He revealed that most of the deaf children are totally deaf and that the hearing aid enables them to listen to everyday sounds for the first time. Following the presentation, the members watched the hearing aid demonstrated in one of the class-; rooms. The aid consists of a group of earphones attached to a phono graph.

Each set of earphones can be regulated individually by dials which govern the volume and tone of the sound coming from the phonograph. The children sat around a cres cent-shaped table, wearing the phones and holding books in front of them with simple drawings of animals, musical instruments and furniture. Associate Sounds A record was placed on the phonograph by Miss Carol Stair, the teacher, and sounds of dogs barking, pigs squealing and horns blowing came over the earphones. As the children recognized the sound, they pointed to the drawing in the book with which it was associated. Then, with some hesitation and difficulty, they would pronounce the name of the picture they had pointed out.

There are 54 Negro deaf children being taught at the school. Mr. Andrews said. 'School' Planned For City Officials Two classes for policemen, may ors and councilmen from Maryland cities and towns will meet from 7 to 10 P.M. today at the University of Maryland.
