ST. PAUL CLAPS BAN-ON 'TOBACCO ROAD' St. Paul, Dec. 24 (JF). The City Council voted today to forbid showing the play, Road." because it is "indecent, immoral and lewd," but left a loophole for its showing "if it is cleaned up to suit the Council." Members of the Council saw the play in Minneapolis, where it wag perrnittt-d to go on over objections after certain portions were deleted.

The -play, recently banned in Chicago, is scheduled to open here Sunday. OPENING TONIGHT at the New Amsterdam. George White's revue, with music by Ray Henderson, Ij-cs by Jack Yellen and dialogue by William K. Wells and Howard A. Schiebler.

After she found out she still loved him and was ready to marry him when his wife gave him a divorce. But the closer Alice approached the marital hurdle, and the more she thought of leaving her widowed mother alone, the less she liked the idea. When I left the theatre she had called it a day, and, so far as the drama was concerned, was just about where she was earlier in the evening. So was the drama. Reticence is a playwriting virtue.

But it can be overdone. Too much reticence, no drama. Mr. Riehman, -who writes graceful dialogue and has an intelligent dramatist's feeling for character, quite reasonably had a play in mind when he started "The Season Changes." The Play Gets Lost. Whether it was to be a play concerned with a mother fixation that might easily ruin a girl's life Or a mother's possessiveness, which frequently has ruined the lives of both mothers and daughters Or something In the Freudian line with an unholy slant that Boston certainly would ban I cannot tell you.

Whatever it was he lost it Robert Milton has given the play an orderly and smooth production, assisted by a nicely selected cast. Phyllis Joyce came within seconds of a scene call because, as the 1 THEATRE NOTES I sM aa EfSsS an Lain. 1 Srlialitr Sq.

Doris Dudley Clicks. Doris Dudley, Bide Dudley's pretty daughter, brought so understanding and intelligence and such nice sense of poise and modest self-assurance to the role of the problem daughter that I was greatly pleased with her.

This happens to be Miss Dudley's first Broadway part, and it would not have been at all surprising if she had accepted it timorously and played it hesitantly. But she didn't Which is promising. Eliot Cabot, playing one of those honest light heavies to which he is bo admirably fitted, is also helpful to the drama, and in the back ground are such admirably competent players as Nicholas Joy, Zamah Cunningham And James Spottswood. The one set, a pleasant country house interior, is by Gretl Urban, daughter, of the lamented Josef. At least, there was a dash of BOOTH THEA'W.
