"Broadway" Scores Success in Current Run at Selwyn With its mingled elements of com- edy, tragedy, girls and music "Broad- way" has literally swept Chicago off its feet during its long run at the Selwyn Theatre. Jed Harris' colorful drama of the cabarets is now in its fourth month at the Dearborn street playhoust and in the matter of average weekly receipts, Chicago heads the list of cities where the play is now on view, including New York, Phila- delphia, Boston, San Francsco, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Sofia. London gave it thirty-five profitable weeks last season. The world-wide success of "Broad- way" has been variously ascribed to its unique blending of comedy and tragedy, its splendid stage direction and its novelty of theme and atmosphere but with the rank and file of play- goers its absorbing and well-acted story is probably the strongest factor in its success. How Roy Lane, an egotistical but likable young "hoofer" in a New York night club makes love to Billie Moore, a beginner in the chorus, and rescues her from the clutches of a vicious gang leader, is told in color- ful, swift-moving scenes in which gay humor is interspersed with grim trag- edy. All the action takes place "back- stage" in the club and there is a bevy of sprightly chorus grls to add realis- tic musical comedy atmosphere. A jazz orchestra also lends pep to the performance. CHANGE STORE LOCATION Miss Lulu King's Book shop moved this week from 724 Elm street two doors west, to 728 Elm street. The new shop is larger, making sufficient room for a large supply of books and cards for Christmas, as well as for the reatal library.

Cage Season Opens Saturday; Play Crane Tech Two Crane Tech teams come to the north shore this evening to aid New Trier basketiers in the official open- ing of the basketball season. The first game between the lightweight fives will start at 7:30 o'clock and will be fol- lowed by the heavyweight tilt. As the Chicago school has long empha- sized basketball in its sports program, it is probable that the game will be featured by fast floor work and clever shooting and while the season is only at its start, will probably be one of the most interesting games scheduled. Prospects for the season are ex- cellent and the air of gloom common- ly worn by varsity coaching staffs is entirely absent at New Trier, "Duke" Childs, head of the athletic depart- ment, and Coach Grater appearing "sans" mourning signals and wearing to the contrary an expression general- ly associated with pleasant anticipa- tion. Even the most pessimistic of local fandom appear content with the forecast and fail for once to "view with alarm." Fifteen games have been scheduled for the year by New Trier and the boys started active practice on Friday of last week. Over a hundred candi- dates are out in each section and it is reported are shaping up well for so early in the season. Four letter men are to be noticed. In the heavy- weight division Capt. John Sheldon and Nelson and Markley are contend- ing with the new men for a place on the team. Stanley Smith represents last year's squad with the lightweights. LECTURES AT LA CROSSE Carleton W. Washburne, superinten- dent of Winnetka public schools, gave a series of three addresses on the Win- netka system of education at the La Crosse, Wis, Normal university Friday of this week.
