Season\u2019s Outstanding Plays.FIRST saw \u201cThree Wise Fools\" in Melbourne, Australia, with that sterling actor, John DO'Hara in the part of Mr.Findlay, Played at The Orpheum this weck by T.Daniel Frawley, and 1 renewed Sy acquaintance with the play with Sladnoss.It proved just as enjoyable as when I first saw it, and there are few plays that will stand the test of a second seeing, It lu à play that, while It has the comedy note dominant throughout, &as its moments of tragic drama, and a vein of sound philosophy running through it.Three old fogios\u2014banker, doctor and judge\u2014sharing one house together, adopt the daughter of an old sweetheart of the three of them.Her coming takes them out of the ruts fato which they had grown.Incldentally they are lod to suspect her of some wrongdoing, the banker's nephew alone continuing to believe in her.Eventually all is cleared up satisfactorily, and the three wise od fools rejoice In the return of their &dapted daughter only to have the Nephew aforesaid take her off their hands on to his own.Most of the parts in the play are Sood acting parts, but that of Teddy Findlay, the retired banker, is the fattest.Played by T.Daniel Frawley, producer of The Duffy Players- 8 Is his original part, [ understand\u2014 3 it is the outstanding feature of the Oerlormance.\u2018 Mr.Frawley was the frascible old banker to the life, his frascibility but hiding the big warm treart of the man, which evidenced Mtsel! at every turn.He has done wothing quite so well as this during thy Duffy season, and he romped \u2018tome with high honors.Mr.Dufty had one of those parts that are so congenial % him, that of the nephew, He makes an ideal laver always, but he excelled him- sel, 1 thought, In \u201cThree Wise Fools,\" particularly in the stronger passages, where he has to turn upon the three old codgers and upbraié them for thelr lack of faith In thelr ward.Aas the girl, Margaret Knight shone brightly, too.The part calls for swift changes of emotion, and Miss Knight ran the gamut, \u201cfrom grave to gay, from lively to severe,\u201d with all the skill and ability that stamp her work.Her success this week but adds another high score to her already long dist.So far, I! have not been greatly endmoured of the new \u201cjuvenile,\u201d William Phelps, but in this\u2019 week's play Mr.Phelps does the best work of his stay amongst us.He plays a crook part, an escaped convict, and although not having much to do does it with an intensity and forcefulness that lifte it out of the ordinary.This youngster is capable of muca higher things, 1 imagine, and he will repay watching.William Naughton has a type of part different from those he usually plays.He is the old bachelor judge with grayed locks, and played with aplomb and finesse.Franklin George is the other one of the three old fool, and gave a çare- fully studied presentation of the character, bringing out the humor and boyishness finely.Al the other parts were capably filled, and \u2018the performance will stand out as one of the best yet given by The Duffy Players, play and players combining to make a\u2019 perfect entertainment, one with plenty of laughter and enough drama to make the play most acceptable fare.JOHN H.ROBERTS.Good Warm Weather Program At Loew's TENSELY thritling story is A embodied in the feature plc- ture at Loew's

part with skfH and character.The love theme throughout the ghotoplay is well conceived, the gir! finding her potter «el in the resurrection of Knight's manhood.Miss De La Motte acte with realism and to good purpose throughout the piece, this charming artist making rapid progress in her profession.The other film features on the program \u2014 comedy, topical stuff, and Pathe\u2014are all

There is the evidence of Ciro Nieri In the bandit trial, to the effect that he and his fellow dandits paid ten per cent.of their gross earnings on every crime to provide themselves with police \u201cprotection\u201d and other necessary \u201cfirst aids\u201d in times of trouble.Nieri's evidence was considered strong enough to send six men to the gallows.Surely it is sufe ficiently important te cause an investigation of the police force, te members of which, preeum- ably, the \u201cprotection\u201d money ; must have been paid.* Secondiy, there is the known fact that Tony Frank, now under sentence of death, was an operator of houses of ill-fame in Montreal's Red Light District, and the fact that he had the public reputation of a fixer, color to which reputation is lent by the activities of Frank in and about the Court House for many years.Any- Jone who works there can tell Alderiman Brodeur of the Frankian manners there, of how he used to elbow jhis Way here and there as though he owned the Court House, and proceeded through its corridors as dy ivine Rightli SERAFINI UNMOLESTED.\\ ©?There is the known fact that \u2018Guiseppe Serafini jumped ball in this city and that he proceeded about ithe streets of Montreal unmolested mfter that incident.There is the public rumor that Frank Gambino did the same thing.There is the fact that Frank Gam- bino, Red Light operator and reputed THB AXE, PRIDAWN JULY, AE, 1926.° \u2014 fixer, was ordered deported, but was not deperted, and remained in Montreal, going about his nefarious bunsi- ness trom day to day without molestation, There is the fact that Mr.Justice Wilson from the Bench han made strong stutements on the subject of the police, refusing to extend cone gratulations to the detective dopart- ment when he congratulated attorneys and court officials for their work in the Hochelaga Bandit Cane.There ia the fact that one of the condemned bandits, Morel, is himself an ex-policeman, and that someone might find it advisable to probe Morel's associations prior to his being lagged on the murder charge.CAN'T CATCH CRIMINALS.There is the fact that à large number of murdercrs are at large, that crime detection in Montreal is at a distinctly low ebb, and that our present detective forco seems to be utterly Incapable to cope with anything other than the arresting Of small boys for playing ball at street corners, Yankee tourists for drunkenness, and a few hopheads caught red-handed in the Land of Dreamy Dape.We are friendly to the policemen.The public is friendly to the policemen.But so many things have been said\u2014by Nieri, by Judge Wilson, by the Mayor, and dy a thousand others of more or less responsibility\u2014that the Man in the Street doesn't know which officer is trustworthy or otherwise, But he hears and repeats a lot of things, does the same Man in the Street, and he hasn't a very lofty opinion just now of the police force and law enforcement and the catching of criminals.For the sake of the police force, who are in the main fine honest fellows, devoted to their duty and to their familles, there should be à clearing of the air.For the sake of the taxpayers who pay for legitimate police protection, the clouds of suspicion should be dispelled.If Alderman Brodeur doesn't know how to go about this air-clearing process, then Brodeur doesn't know how to do his well-paid job.We hold to the popular view\u2014which we do not think Brodeur shares\u2014that he is a public servant, mightily well paid, hired by the public, and, therefore, responeible to his employers.Just now his employers want to know the truth about all these rumors of \u201cprotection.\u201d .It is up to Brodeur and hig associates to ece that the public gets what it is entitled to \u2014 the truth.THE CHARGES HAVE BEEN LAID.LET MR.BRODEUR GET BUSY AND STOP TALKING!

Leviathan travelled a man of principle, sturdy and uncompromising, and to this passenger not knowing what they did, the stewards of the restaurant offered \u201chash.\u201d That, however, was not what hurt him.His complaint was that on the \u2018menu\u201d the dish was described as \u2018\u201chachis de volaille aux haricots verte.\u201d To him, the chairman of the board softly replies that in the ordinary dining saloons of the Leviathan and among the crew hash is always called \u201cbash,\u201d and nothing else, We had not supposed the United States seaman suffered from such poverty of vocabulary.Bw that is à side issue.As to the restaurant menu's effort in providing an elegant alias, the chairman protests that no one is bound to use the restaurant, and those who do \u201cgre accustomed to sce hash described in the French way.\u201d Who will deny that \u201chachis de volaille aux haricots verts\u201d lends a certain dignity to a substance which is in much need thereof?But on the plain question-of the use of English for menus, the Shipping Board surrenders altogether, if ever, says the chairman, a French phrase has stolen into the menus of the Main dining saloon, it is only because his employees cannot give an adequate translation of such flowers of speech as \u201chachis de volaille aux haricots verte.\u201d But who can?There was ever something mysterious about a hash, We submit that the good old Anglo-Saxon monosyllable is far lems precise than the scientific language of the menu.Before the United States Shipping board bans French from its ships, we would counsel a study of the history of the question, The Kaiser Wilhelm IL.for inatance, once tried something of the same kind.About twenty-five year ago he announced that no true German could ent beartiy
