Nine Pine Street (by John Colton, Donald Blackwell, Carleton & William Miles; Margaret Hewes, producer). The case of Lizzie Borden, who is popularly supposed to have murdered her father and stepmother in Fall River two generations ago, has produced a body of New England legend and at least one folk ballad.

Weatherman Colton's crash made citizens conscious of a new profession. Before airplanes, kites and balloons took weather recording instruments aloft in out-of-the-way places. But kites require wind, balloons not too much wind; both are unusable in bad weather; both have been scrapped except for one kite-station in Ellendale, N. Dak.

His chief work was being done inside a little streamlined box strung on rubber cords between the outer struts of his right wing. In it, human hairs squeezed of oil and moisture were taking...
Saint Wench (by John Colton; Helen Menken, producer). Playwright John Colton is the man who wrote The Shanghai Gesture, co-dramatized a William Somerset Maugham story into Rain. Helen Menken of the thin face and beech-leaf hair accomplished emotional successes in Seventh Heaven, The Infinite Shoeblack, The Captive. It is to be recorded with reluctance that Mr. Colton's Saint Wench, acted in and managed by Miss Menken, is an unconscionable bore, a pitiably uninspired piece of stagecraft...
