Sirs: Architects everywhere will appreciate TIME'S description of the monument on Kill Devil Hill at Kitty Hawk, commemorating the first aeroplane flight; for TIME thoughtfully mentioned the architects-Rodgers and Poor (TIME, Nov. 28). Newspapers and magazines rarely give architects and sculptors credit for their creations, albeit painters invariably rate a good story with their names featured in every caption. Incidentally, gifted Architect Robert Perry Rodgers is brother of the late and famed Commander John Rodgers, U. S. N., D. S.

The play finds Clytemnestra, her two antic sons and more sensible daughter inhabiting their villa at Nice, broke. Even the daughter's practical U. S. suitor cannot keep Mrs. Hope from buying on credit everything she fancies, blackmailing the maid out of back wages, formulating grandiose schemes for selling "her poor little home" to an unborn literary club. With a pleasantly insane gleam in her eyes, she falls out with everyone, instantly makes up does housework in a white satin ball gown, frequently retires...
