P. “Pigs,” bailed by an enthusiastic and imaginative press agent in tlie Emerald yesterday as the play "that once seat New York theater goers into fits of hysterical laughter” drew from an appreciative audience audience at the lleilig last night a few ripples of polite merriment, in : numerable chuckles and three guf faws sufficiently vociferous to be ■ considered uncouth. If the play actually was the cause I of fits in New York, it was be ! cause New Yorkers are more sus ' ceptiblo to such things than Ore gonians, for there were no hysterics at the lleilig last night—no so much i as one hysteric. “Pigs” was a farce, a rather or dinary farce. It was aided in parts be excellent acting, and injured in j others by lack of it. Gordon Stearns, in the part of Thomas At kins, Sr., a none too successful law yer, played his part with profession ; al skill from curtain to curtain. The other role which was outstand , ing was that of Grandmother Spen cer, taken by Constance Both, who | also directed the production. 1 The rest of the cast without ex ception fell far below anything rep resenting , the professional stage. Judged purely from the amateur standpoint, Edward Merges as Hee i tor Spencer, Lawrence Shaw as Tom Atkins, Jr., Grace Gardner as Mil ! dred Gushing, and Helen Allen as i Lenore Hastings did fairly well. Merges improved from one act to the next to a noticeable degree; Avoid annoying delays: On the trip home for Christmas. A lift It1 wire loose may cause you any amount of trouble.

Letitia Abrams Next to First National Bank Mi S3 Gardner'also played tin- third net nine'll bettor tiia’ii flu' first.’Miss Hastings was blosseil with good lilies, and il is to her credit that tslie took a I vantage of these to bring her performance '.just a bit above the average of the rest of the cast. Diana Doininger a's Kllvn Atkins, mother of Toni Atkins,''Jr., the hero, was a disappointment. Her lines rose to a glorious climax at .the 1 t>ml of the second ad, lmt she failed 1 to take advantage of the occasion and the scene was pi a; ed in a flat : and almost uninteresting undertone. The mother was a tragically com mini person, when she might hue. ; been most eharming, most lovable j-and most interesting. Hugh Uogan as Spencer Atkins, elder son of Tom, Sr., amt (tlenii I’otts as Smith Hastings, hotli show . ed effort in reading their lines. Neither acted, or even made a lioticer.Ide attempt at acting. The story, such as it was, dealt with ail investment by Tom Atkins, Jr., ni,d Mildred Cushing, his mi recognized fiancee, in a pi n lull of sick pigs, using Mrs. Atkin’s on j gagenient ring as financial backing for the venture. The investment, contrary to the belief of everyone in the cas*. except the two investors, developed into a big money maker and the mortgage on the old home stead was lifted and the two young i stars got married. ' On its own, of course, the stun '■ would never have gotten liv: but farce stories are not supposed to. i The play drpcmled upon its laughs, i and it contained much broad humor, ! though as before mentioned, no one | was thrown into any fits. As a j matter of fact the biggest laugh and the greatest applause was given the pigs who squealed after the cur A Merry**.
