NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1925. 1 9 Plays and Things -By ARTHUR "The School for Scandal" Is Presented at the Knickerbocker Theater.

FORGE TYLER for some son brought a company of players to the Knickerbocker night to give a single performance, Scandal." of, It Sheridan was Mr. Tyler who sent a troupe of notable performers on the road last season in "The Rivals" and it enjoyed, is stili enjoying, extraordinary success. The present production of "The School for, Scandal" is traveling, too, and Mr. Tyler protests that the prohibitive rents of Manhattan theaters keep it outside the city limits. So he brought it into town last night, givIng a performance free in order to prove whatever it was he had in mind to prove.

Since there was already a compuny playing this old comedy in town lit be supposed that Tyler wan may ambitious to indicate that his productiton of it is more deserving of New York than the other. At any rate, he exhibited it, inviting notables to the exhibit. It was a pretty good performance, though nothing extraordinary. Perhaps this special showing will attract attention to it and so help it to live long upon the read. It could not enjoy a long life along Broadway, He has hired a number of rather good players and Basil Dean has drilled them.

The playing at the Knickerbocker last night was therefore done by better players than are to be seen in the subsidized production of Mrs. Insull at the Booth Theater; but the latter company nevertheless achieves a greater liveliness: seems, in fact, to catch the spirit of the witty Sheridan a bit betier. The Knickerbocker performance wits leisurely affair without any grent gusto. This mellow comedy requires speed in the playing and did not get it last night. Its players find it necessary to read their lines cautiously in order not to muddle them.

George Silberstein of 1505 Ave. who is a lawyer, described the sitcation to the $5 persons present. He said that a group of unidentified buyers, represented by the RikerHoffman Company of 188 Montague st, are buying up all the property on Ave. between the Brighton line structure and Ocean ave. for the pur11 pose of tearing down the residences now standing and erecting business property their plac.

Mr. Silberstein declared that this group of buyers, which he characterized as "very wealthy," has the backing of A prominent politician. He refused to divulge the names of the politician or of any of the buyers. According to Mr. Silberstein, the builders of apartment houses on this property would not have to petition the Board of Estimate to change the status of the section before starting to build.

He said that they could proceed on assumption that the classing of the property in Zone was unconstitutional, since the original restrictions on the Manhattan Terrace Development, which includes the part of Ave. in question, expired in 1920. The question could be carried to the courts, he declared. To Petition Zonnig Change.
