Famous Playwright Says Civilization Still Marchâ€" ing On and Upward Broadway, the most renowned Gay White Way in the world, doesn‘t even support its appetite for jazz, for senâ€" sation, Channing Pollock, author of "The Enemy," "The Fool" and & host of ‘other serious plays which have been huge successes, declares in an aiticle in The American Magazine. It is the great mass of people who‘ are not and never have been jazzâ€"mad that support the better plays, the betâ€" ter books and the better art, says the playwright, and there need be no fear that class will always be preponâ€" derant.â€" "The newspapers may be catalogues of‘ crime. The country may be dotted with night clubs," Polâ€" lock continues, "but men and women get married and the majority stay married. Flaming youth makes maâ€" trimony and the football team. It achieves parenthood _ and . normal, healthy children. "There are more lights in library windows than there are on Broadway. You may not be aware of them, but they are there. ; generally known as the jazz age. The year began with an inundation of sex and murder plays. Before Christmas, all but one of these truck gardens had Gisappeared and Easter found our stage without a single success that didn‘t deserve it." Pollock‘s review of the outstanding successes of nearly a decade fails to show a single lasting success built on sex or crime. Even the light comedies that endured were those without obâ€" jectionable lines. Twentyâ€"eight plays that had runs of more than 500 nights appealed to the supposedly archaic instincts of sentiment, loyalty, pity. "Consider the recent theatrical seaâ€" son, almost at the apex of what is "There may be a rash on the face of â€" civilization," Pollock concludes, "but its heart is still beating vigorâ€" ously and its feet are still marching on and up." Chicago leads the United States in number of professional colleges, acâ€" cording to the Chicago Association of Commerce.

Sanitary Board Discusses New Plant Plans for the location of the proâ€" posed $900,000 sewage disposal plant on the North Flats were furthered at the meeting of the Sanitary district board, Thursday of last week in Waukegan. ‘The members of the board also disâ€" cussed plans for the holding of the $1,500,000 bond issue election which will provide for the erection of the local plant and for new plants or adâ€" ditions at Winthrop Harbor, Zion, North Chicago, Lake Forest and Highland Park. The stand of the Waukegan city council that the plant should be loâ€" cated at the foot of South averiue and the contention that citizens of Wauâ€" kegan would not approve the expense of a costly trunk sewer to connect the plant with the South avenue sewer system, was also debated upon.
