Ul HE NEW little West Fifty-second Street Theater was opened with free sand- wiches, coffee and cake and, as an extra inducement, a play by Willis M. Good- hue called “Myrtie.”. “Since I wasn’t par- ticularly hungry on the night the play opened, I didn’t go up to review it, but those persons who were able to tear them- selves away from the free lunch tell me that it is a most grievous opus. [am sorry to learn it, as it is always bad news to hear of the failure of a play at which the management dishes out grub gratis. What with the income tax falling due again, | one can never tell when a free meal may | not come in handy. It is all very well to go and review “Cyrano de Bergerac” or “Outward Bound” or “The Miracle” and havea thoroughly enjoyable time doing it, or but one can’t eat a thoroughly enjoyable time, and if one doesn’t get one’s nourish- ment regularly one is likely to fall seri- ously ill and make Morris Gest, a valuable producer whom the theater‘cannot afford to lose, die laughing. would never do.

In the heart of New York City a new building of twenty- nine stories is to become the home of several metropolitan central offices serving some 120,000 telephones. This building will contain, as well, offices for executives and for engineering, commercial, plant and accounting forces, pro- viding space for over 7000 telephone workers. Each of these buildings helps to render adequate and economical telephone service in its own community. They stand at the extremes in size, equipment and personnel. Yet they both indicate the nation-wide need for adequate housing of the activities of the Bell System; and they illus- trate the varied ways in which that need is being met. One of the largest single items of plant investment of the Bell System is real estate, comprising nearly 1700 buildings acquired, with their sites, at a cost of $180,000,000. It is continuously the aim of the Bell System to construct and so to situate each new building—whether executive office, central office, storehouse or garage—so that it shall serve its community with the utmost efficiency and economy, and remain a sound investment throughout its period of life.
