It was the first game for the local professional five and they showed speed and ability, but were up against a well seasoned foe. It was a very small crowd that witnessed the contest, but this Is one of the worst weeks in the year for Indoor attractions, and Harris burg basketball fans appeared to have other Interests. The com munity center teams also took away many patrons. The basketball season In Harrlsburg seldom gets a good start until after the holidays.

Doctor" Written by Friend, Produced by Morgan Wallace By BETTY BROOKS The stage was set for a final re hearsal of Len Holllster's new farce, "Doctor, Doctor," which opened Monday at the Majestic The actors and actresses had their places, Mr. Conness.

the director, tilted his chair back at a dangerous angle, as he glanced from the players to the srrlpt. Half way down the empty aisles of the theater stood Len HoUlster, the author of the comedy, and Morgan Wallace. In the dark, their lighted cigars shone like headlights. We were Just getting acquainted when a shrill scream rent the air. Although It registered eight or eleven different kinds of emotions.

neither Mr. Holllster nor Mr. Wallace raised an eye brow. It was merely Dart of the new play Mr. HoUlster has written.

"It's a comedy," he said (The scream sounded like stralghteight melodrama.) It's written to be laughed at, to keep people amused and entertained." Mr. Wallace praised the play highly. He and the author have been friends for many years. They first became acquainted about fit teen years ago, when they were both nlaving in the Morosco Stock at Los Angeles. For years both were troopers, sometimes meeting for a season, sometimes crossing on Broadway, occasionally neighboring in vaude ville acts in the same bill.

Mr. Wallace has played in four hundred star parts, some forty of them on Broadway, or in London. Mr. Hoi lister has written several comedies and a drama and Innumerable vaudeville skits. Morgan Wallace is an actor manager; he has Just finished play ing with Mary Boland in "Women Go on Forever;" he has the Morgan Wallace players here, and is starting a company in Richmond.

But he appears as the actor. There is something of the studied grace of the stage in his speech, in his gestures. His glance is quick and pier ing, and one can almost see the reflection of footlights in them. "I can't tell you which I prefer acting or directing," he said. "I love them both.

I love anything about the stage. It is never burdensome. Why, acting, with all Its intricacies, has the art of a masterpiece. I love that part of it. I love to produce a good play, not a chro mo, but a living masterpiece." Producing "Doctor, Doctor" was particularly enjoyable work.

"The cast are splendidly well adapted to the roles, said Mr. Hol lsiter, actor turned author. "You bet like writing better than acting. Anyone gets tired of troup ing, of playing all over the country, any time any where. Writing is easy for me because I know the mechanics of stage craft from my own acting, and vaudeville work gives me a brevity that I hope is forceful." Both men are enthusiastic about the new play.

The success with which the Morgan Wallace players have met this year in Harrisburg is indicative of the city as a theater audience. Len Hollister wrote the comedy in ten months, polishing it over and over again. We talked of the American Theater, of actors and audience. Then a I ine Governor of Oklahoma called out the State Militia to keep the Legislature out of the House. That's about what we would have to do If we attempted to keep the Patrons out of our Theaters.

Public amusements play an important role In the lives of we humans and you can't blame the crowds for Insisting on seeing the shows. The pity Is that our grandfathers hadn't the chance to see the kind of shows we see today. Their lives would have been happier. fcMaWiass4sMsVBVaa3U Also Snookuma in Newlyweda Supriae Will Rogers Pathe News shrill scream was heard again. It was the rehearsal still going on.

Mr. Wallace donned his chesterfield and derby, and sauntered away, to the box office. Mr. HoUlster hurried down tha aisle to the stage, looking worried. This Week StageScreen Presentations Loew'i Regent "College," with Buster Keaton.
