SOLUTION OF YESTERDAYS i CROSS-WORD PUZZLE I SWAMPSCOTT, April 14 A fire on the roof of the Neighborhood Club on Humphrey st this morning caused 25 children, between 5 and 6 years of age, to be led from their kindergarten class and resulted In damage of about 4200 to the' roof of the building.

The children were lined up by Miss Grace Swett, Instructor, of Beverly, and, after filing to the coat room for their coats, filed out of the building. The school Is in the Beach Bluff Section, and the children are from wealthy North Shore families. The fire was discovered by Miss Swett. Realizing the danger If the children became excited, she exercised particular care, and prevented any disturbance. Within a few moments all the children were out of the building and watched the fire-fighters put out the blaze.

It is thought the fire started from the sparks of a passing locomotive.

Ladies' Aid Society. AMUSEMENTS COPLEY THEATRE Monkey Flay by Sam Janney. First time on any stage. The cast: Robert Kenmore. Jack Storey Dr Howard Hollins.

Donald Thompson Braoker Janie 8. Jenmeon Greta Kentrtore Brooke Joe Banning. Heniierion Murkn Harry A Husrenot MeSweeney Mark Kent Onai Barbara Haune Betty fvna Davm Stole Doufla Mclean Howard Pt.vrnian David Baker Dr Niehol William Jeffrey Monkey Henderson, Richard Whorf Medical Hxaminer Jpeel EfteUe Fenlav Eunice Brownine If you like your police inspectors grim and your policemen mere supernumeraries; if you insist that your mystery-solvers shall be deadly earnest, and the rest of the cast pretty fairly noble, Monkey is no play for you. It is by the author of Loose Ankles, so you know beforehand that it isnt going to be dull. Monkey is the nickname of an eccentric police detective, eccentric to the point of having the hobby of saving money for the taxpayers, and kidding the whole detective business right in the presence of, the upturned boot-soles of the murdered man.

It must be said also that by the grace of the author he follows a logical course straight through his puzzle, and convicts his man with a quaint sequel and a snappy tag that 'make "Monkey stand out in strong contrast to plays of this sort. The curtain rises Just as Robert Ken-more, rich banker with a mean disposition, Is arranging with his physician that the doctor shall marry his stepdaughter, and between them they shall have all his money. The stepdaughter, played with fine intensity by Miss Alison Brooke, has fallen in love with a hoofer and thats just the trouble. Stepfather wont have it, and the plot proceeds from there. Theres a neat bit of side-plot with some minor villains, but actually the whole play revolves round the antics of Monkey Henderson and the wonderfully well chosen and beautifully expressed cracks of an Irish policeman.

McSweeney, arriving after the murder, doesnt act a bit like the policeman that reporters meet on murder cases. But then, neither does any member of the cast; thats what makes the play unusual and intriguing. The mystery Isnt so much; most of the audience appeared last night to have solved it before the smoke had blown away. The chief suspect was shown madly fumbling through the drawers of a desk, desperate to kill the man who was making 4iis sweetheart scream with pain and terror; the curtain descended in the midst of the scrabbling, and the sound of five shots was heard. Then there was a after a considerable pause.

There were four possible suspects, and the second and third acts were spent in eliminating them, or rather in working through the inessential to the inescapable. Richard Whorf, in the title role, gave a marvelous performance and created an unforgettable character. He skipped about; he chattered and gibed, and sat on a limb. He did everything but hang oy his tail. And he gave a fine read-irg to some remarkably snappy lines, biggest laugh coming when he observed What between the seventh commandment and the 18th amendment, we re having a hell of a time.

Mark Kent as McSweeney, the harp with braEs buttons on him, was irresistible. He had the real flavor, and, in common with every one of the company, made a clean-cut character Finally, for a first-time performance, it was splendid. The only man not up in his cues was the lights man. TREMONT THEATRE Magician Thurston May we assure the woman who sat in row and lamented through the performance, I really cant understand how it is done that she was not alone' in her difficulties. For the celebrated master of magic carries with him a collection of Illusions that probably would prove baffling to some of the Hindu Jugglers from whom he professes to borrow some of them.

Mr Thurston is more than a sleight-of-hand performer; more, even, than a magician of the first order. He is an exceedingly fine entertainer. By virtue of his ability to create funny situations (both with malice aforethought and on the spur of the mo-rnentj he manages to keep his audience, in spasms of laughter through a large part of the evening. One comes away from the Tremont Theatre with a bewildering impression of broken eggs, ladies' sawed in halves and stuck together again, quacking ducks appearing most inopportunely from the garments of gentlemen in the audience, terribly em'oarrassed gTownups and wholly unembarrassed youngsters on the stage itself, beautiful girls floating around In midair or being shot out of cannon or having swords stuck through them, and finally a lot of uproarious laughter over heaven only knows just what. Mr Thurston is very ably assisted by his daughter Jane, who, for the last three years has been appearing with her distinguished sire, and already has attained eminence herself as a dealer in the magic arts.

The lady is exceedingly easy to look upon. This asset, combined with an ability to dish up with the proper flourish and snap a great variety of the stock tricks and some of the newer ones, lends a pleasing variety to the long production. Perhaps Miss Thurstons most novel trick is that of shooting a live canary bird into a lighted electric bulb. To attempt to give mention to a.l the Illusions presented by Howard Thurston himself is out of question, for they run into the dozens to which Jane adds 14 or 15 of her own. Most Impressive, though far from new, is the famous levitation trick, by which the form of a woman is made to float ftom a couch on which she reclines, high into the air.

Wires? Well, how about the hoop that Thurston passes around the suspended form? Then there is the sequel levitation combined with disannearance. The supposed form of the woman, covered with a scarf and floating over the heads of the orchestra and actually down into the audience, turns out to be nothing but impalpable air. Where did Bhe go? Ah, thats Just It. Where did she? The woman who is sawed In halves, while a mob from the audience stands on the Stage and looks on, is as old as magic, but always brings one of the biggest bursts of applause. And the Iasia mystery, the disappearance of a woman from an iron cage, suspended high above the stage, Is still another wonder.

But, in the minds of the great army of children who doubtless will see Thurston in the course of this engagement (and the army started marching in on him last night, and had a gorgeous time) will stand out above all else the moments when eggs hold the center of the stage. Egg3 by the dozen, eggs piling up, eggs crashing, eggs appearing from' mouths, from hats, eggs even being tossed, nonchalantly into the orchestra pit, with all the while the audience screaming with laughter. When mirth and magic mix, its great stuff. UNLIMITED PARKING DOWNTOWN AFTER 6 P. Metropolitan! LAST TWO DAYS Even the Hard-boiled Critic Go Wild Over i I Paramount Mcsmterpiee of Entertainment with JACKIE COOPER ROBERT COOGAN M1TZI GREEN JACKIE SEARL EatertaliOMt for tk Faolly PLYMOUTH THEATRE The Patch Comedy by Patrick Kearney.

Presented by Robert V. Newman. Staged by John D. Williams. First lime on any 6tage.

OSullivan Mr Weatherbee. Marie Burke Billed as a new American comedy, The Patch is often more of a farcical burlesque than anything else In exploiting what the author proclaims as new material in the theatre realistic representation of the Irish in America. The Irish residing in America who deny their birthright are lambasted to a frazzle and the Irish who boast of their ancestry are lauded to the skies, but ail in such an extravagant and boisterous way as to rob the play of all suggestion of serious characterization If the author ever intended that there should be any such suggestion. If the author merely sought to win laughter he no doubt had reason to be gratified with the reception accorded his play by last evenings audience. There was real if broad humor in some of the lines and there were explosions of laughter for such declara' tions as Who in Gods name ever could control the Irish and Can you picture a man who shook hands with Parnell wearing pajamas! But there was a lot more dialogue that was tiresome chatter and there was not much in the sentimental prattle that was convincing.

Structurally, The Patch Is on a par with Abies Irlsh Rose, yet one would hesitate to predict that It will make a like popular appeal. But, as the best of all Irish playwrights has said: You never can tell." The time of the play is the present and the scene is laid in a town of the Middle West, alternately in the fashionable section oi the town and in The Patch, the Irish settlement across the railroad tracks. Was this patch anything Jike "The Cabbage Patch that brought first fame to William Hodge? Mr and Mrs Charles Murfee have risen to wealth and social recognition, and all because, as Mrs Murfee insists, they had changed the spelling of their ancestral name Murphy. The daughter, Elinore, is engaged to the most aristocratic young man in town. Mr Murfee is a candidate for Mayor andf Mrs Murfee has visions of herself as the fist lady of the land.

She has one harrowing fear. Her husband's old fa'ber, Pat Murphy, has been promising to come from Ireland and make -them a visit. Oi course, he does come, and with his arrival begins the farce and he shattering of the ladys ambitious dreams of social exaltation. He is a jovial old soul, who revels In the fact that he Is an Irishman of the old sod, makes bombastic political speeches and Insists upon wearing his hat and smoking his pipe In the parlor. Mr, Murfee's campaign manager rather welcomes the old mans appearance he Is likely to insure support of the Irish vote needed in the coming election.

Pat does gather in the doubtful votes, but when his daughter-in-law turns him out of her house he threatens to give the votes to a rival candidate. When the daughter, Elinore, meets Mike Donovan, a young man from The Patch who has been engaged to advertise Mr Murfees candidacy foT Mayor, she falls in love with him at once and the aristocratic youth is immediately in the discard. Mikes mother, a true daughter of the old sod, is brought into the picture and ably supports Pat in the hilarious ructions that continue until the curtain falls at a late hour. Arthur Sinclair, remembered for his clever work with the Irish Players from Dublin, gives a hearty and broadly amusing portrayal of the joyous natured old Irishman, and Maire ONeill, also remembered from the same Dublin players, is no less amusing as the rabidly patriotic but good-hearted old Irish woman. The other roles are adequately portrayed.

on the question and those in favor of the Everett School site won, 515 to 409. On Article 2, proposing the so-called Willett Lot, action was indefinitely postponed at the request of Mr Willett. At this time hundreds of citizen began to leave the hall, believing that the question was settled. When Article 3 came up, Francis Foley of the Finance Committee offered an amendment to this article that tho preference of the citizens of this town was for the Washington-st site near the Municipal Building, A motion to Indefinitely postpone was made, but Moderator Halloran ruled this out of order and put Mr Foleys amendment, which was carried 339 to 330. Now the Selectmen have two sites to offer the Government for a Postoffice and the wires will again be hot until the matter is finally setled.

McBride. Oscar Johnson, whose home Hazel st, Cambridge, was raided, has engaged counsel. Johnson returned home from New York April 4, and, finding his home on the second floor of the Hazel-st address ransacked, reported the matter to the police of the North Cambridge Station. Police of that station investigated, learned that the place had been raided by the liquor Bquad, and sent that report to Police Headquarters.

Chief McBride said that he learned of the case only this morning, and will question members of the liquor squad a to the alleged ransacking of the house. mnvAY monv HassT- 5S-ave' ONLY THREE DAYS MORE TO SEE HOLLYWOOD By MOLLIS Special Dispatch to the Globe and the North American Newspaper Alliance.

Hugh Herbert, watching the ponies run at Callente, wore this subdued little Spring costume, a gray flannel suit with yellow stripe, yellow shirt, yellow, black and white tie, green hat and brown buckskin shoes.

The story Is called A Backstage Glimpse of Some Hollywood Phases, and the director admits Its the toughest casting Job hes ever been given. Like most stories of its type, the characters are composite In the main not being direct caricatures of any one person. It will be an initial venture in ironical farce for the screen. Turning Back the Clock When all the present plans for revivals are complete, you can walk down the street, walk into a cinema and in no time turn back the clock years. Mae Marsh will be playing in Over the Hill lured back to cinema ways by Winfield Sheehan, after a round dozen years of retirement in Flintridge with her three children, the oldest of whom is 11.

Pola Negri will be once again enchanting the world as she did of yore. That is, if Pola clicks when the new methods are applied. Pola was purely an artist of silent films, and there are microphone quirks to overcome and accents to be dealt with. Also one will be able to attend the Mata Harl story on almost any corner, because it is the theme chosen for La Negri the theme (camouflaged) in Dishonored with Marlene Dietrich, and the theme of one of Greta Garbos forthcoming releases. As of Tore' Back in the colony will be shortly the two Princess as of yore, still not speaking since Mae Murray married her prince.

Pola once had Maes particular Mdivanl as cavalier servente. The pale Pola with her scarlet lips and passionate dark eyes accepted a Georgian Prince at that time for what a Georgian Prince was worth in her estimation. Her estimation seemed to rate a title in this country as anyone who owned a herd of a dozen goats or so." Along came another and more allurng suitor. Perhaps Valentino, and Pola let Prince Mdivani slip through her fingers, like nothing at all. Then Mae Murray became the Princess Mdivani, and Pola found to her concern that the press took the Mdlvanis of Georgia quite seriously, and that Mae Murray was a Princess indeed nad got great big black headlines about it.

Pola heard that there was another Mdivani at large, with a title also. Another little Princeling who wouldnt be above the flattering attentions of a beautiful and famous moving picture actress. So Pola up and married the brother of Maes Prince just like that! And there were two Princess Mdlvanis in Hollywood, the supremacy lying with the elder of the two. Pola said her husband was the elder Mae said hers was. The two ladies ceased speaking to each other.

Now Mary McCormick will become the second Princess Mdivani if the present schedule is adhered to. Pola may once more bow to Mae the titular differences being all straightened out, and Mary being challenger in the championship Mdivani honors. Kens Exercise Ken Maynard is bound that Hollywood income will not rob him of his reputation for physical fitness. So, although he has a couple of quarts of airplanes, 30 horses and two speedboats, Ken may be seen running five miles each day so the waistline will keep its place. The company has been working in Place rita Canon making a picture of the West, where men are men and pansies are flowers.

We were bowling along its shady roads when we spied he Maynard car rounding the curve leisurely with chauffeur comfortably enBconsed behinc the wheel, taking In the scenery with a lazy eye and the Industrious Ken loping along in the limousine wake doing his five miles. Look at that fellow has an airplane, 30 horses and a couple of boats, and runs five miles a day! said I could run five miles a day, too, if I had all that money to come home to, said the village cynic. NORWOOD VOTERS SELECT TWO SITES Three Locations Proposed for New Postoffice NORWOOD, April 14-Having se lected two sites for the new Govern ment Postoffice, after two and one-half hours of debate, the citizens are now wondering which one the Government officials will accept. At a special town meeting in the Junior High School Hall last night, attended by nearly 1300 citizens, the largest meet ing In this town for years, three sites were suggested to the voters for them to make a choice. Moderator James Halloran called the gathering to order and submitted Article 1, providing for givinig the Selectmen power to submit for sale the Everett School lot containing 29,200 square feet of land, at a price not less than 75 cents a foot.

Joseph McManus, a former postmaster, at once took the floor and made a long argument to the voters explaining to them the advantages of this lot. He said that the lot was near the railroad station and the large industries. Charles E. Houghton of the Planning Board then submitted the Planning Boards report, which favored the site within the town square. Charles Britton spoke in favor of the site near the industrial center.

Frank A. Morrill gave a resume of Norwoods growth and said 40 percent of the income of the Postoffice business came from industrial houses and 75 percent cf the business was dene south of the Everett School site. He stated that the so-called Washlngton-st site had only a 78-foot frontage. Herbert Plympton, a well-known manufactcrer, opposed the Washmg-ton-st lot, as he said a building there would spoil the looks of the new Municipal Building. Francis Foley then took the floor and said that the Everett School site should be reserved for the growth of the Norwood Hospital, which Is adjacent to the 6ite Walter p.

Tilton, who presented the carillons In the Municipal Building to the town, took the floor in favor of the site adjacent to the Municipal Building. Former Selectman Thomas B. Mulvehlll supported Mr Foleys views. Attorney Joseph Riley spoke in favoT of the Everett School site and said that If the hoKpital desired to expand there was plenty of room on the Lln-den-Bt side and that plans were now made for expansion In that direction. Mrs Florence LeFevre opposed the Everett School site.
