There are two things for which Mr. Hearst has
been positively committed. They are, first, the
replacement of high income taxes by a general

sales tax and, second, a "hands off" policy by
the United States in foreign affairs. The President
has ignored the Hearst advice on both these
points. He stated that he was "horrified" at the
suggestion of a sales tax and is engaging in in-
ternational discussion to a degree unattained by
President Hoover. But Mr. Hearst realizes the
tremendousness of President Roosevelt's popular-
ity and he does not dare to indulge his venom
openly. So the clever journalist is toming around
to his point gradually. From an attack on Con-
gress, he can proceed to an attack on the presi-
dent.
dust how powerful Mr. Hearst is, the next four
years will show. He has been able to stir up the
flames of popular passion in years past. Can he
do it again? How long will the American people
tolerate Mr. Hearst?

'Back To Joe's
And The Orient'...
C OLLEGE MEN and women went
west of Division Street Thursday
to see what legal beer looked and tasted like.
They went in crowds, hundreds of students. And
this is what they discovered. Legal beer tastes
very good but it has almost no "kick." It has not
half the strength of "alley" beer. It is really im-
possible to become intoxicated on 3.2.
Legal beer was an entirely new drinking experi-
ence for many of the students who went back to
"Joe's and The Orient." It was the first time that
most of them ever had an alcoholic beverage
that tasted good and was not intoxicating.
We sincerely hope that legal brew will teach
the college students to drink sanely. If it succeeds
in doing this, there will be little harm, as far as
the younger generation is concerned, in unqual-
ifiedly repealing the Eighteenth Amendment.
For those who believe that the east of Division
ban is a good thing, and that 3.2 may demoralize
University students, we advise that they buy a
case, put it on ice, drink, and witness the fact
that they are neither intoxicated nor, by any
means, demoralized.

THE GREAT
AMERICAN PLAY
By ROBERT HENDERSON
Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times has
called "Another Language" very nearly the Great
American Play. It is, indeed, one of the most
extraordinary comedies I have ever played in. By
the audience, it is regarded as an amusing do-
mestic melodrama-what we call a "back-parlor"
play. Actually it is something far more subtle and
tender. Tom Powers has said to me that he re-
gards it as the nearest approach to Ibsen ever
achieved by an American dramatist.
Underneath all its obvious comedy, there is a
slow, strange strain that is definitely in the mood
of Tchekov or Ibsen. Instead of hurrying the lines,
actors in this play purposely pace the play as
slowly as possible, with big "holes" between the
lines. It is through this unusual pace and atmos-
phere that suddenly the audience is taken-not
into a theatre, not before merely another clever
American comedy-but actually into their own
dining and living rooms. The play is a .long suc-
cession of laughter, but often it is a laughter that
hurts. Atkinson said that "Another Language"
was as real as the truth. It is even more than
that: in many scenes it is the truth. In every
sense it is a play of signal importance. That it
should not have received the Pulitzer Prize is one
of the discouraging features of this annual award,
which can one year omit "Mourning Becomes
Electra" and the next pass over Miss Franken's
beautiful play of the American family.
"Another Language" is solely about the Hal-
lams; all of the characters are Hallams. Most of
the family are bourgeois groundlings, insensible
to the charms of art and romance, and center-
ing their torpid parochial lives around a malicious
old matriarch. Three of the sons are wedded
to dull women of their own kind; but a fourth
(Tom Powers), his mother's favorite, has as his
wife a charming woman-as he says-"of esthetic
disposition and yearning for the purple mists!"
Edith Barrett will play the wife, and anyone
who has seen her lovely performances in "Mrs.
Moonlight" and "Michael and Mary" can under-
stand how perfect she will be in tle part. I played
"Candida" with Miss Barrett this winter. She gave
the most beautiful interpretation of the part of
any of the five actresses I have played it with;
and this is not forgetting Patricia Collinge's work
last spring. Very little has been said of Miss Bar-
rett, but I make the prediction that she will be
one of the most popular players in the festival.
She is the grand-daughter of Lawrence Barrett,
(grandfathers remember the great combination of
Booth and Barrett); and his patrician mantle
seems to have settled on her. Her charm and
grace are quite irresistible.
Naturally the young wife is not liked by all
her in-laws. They accuse her of being flighty and
superior, and they resent her non-attendance at
the weekly gatherings of the clan. In particular is
her thorny mother-in-law an obnoxious influ-
ence.
With such a situation vividly established in the
first act, Miss Franken proceeds to elaborate it
with touches of both life and the theatre, These
are written with a keen sense of comedy and a
shrewd affiliation of the subtle and the obvious.
The everyday talk among the Hallam daughter-
in-laws for instance, as they exchange the family
gossip, is in the best vein of stage humor and
observation.
In order for "Another Language" to establish
this extraordinary validity and truth, all of the
roles must be cast with scrupulous care. It is, in
no sense, a '"star" play. Katherine Wick Kelly
of the Cleveland Playhouse is Helen Hallam, the
more acid of the Hallam wives; Doris Rich, who
played Mrs. Alving two years ago with Tom Pow-
ers in "Ghosts," is the eldest wife; and Helen Ray
ind Raymond Van Sickle (the author of "Best
Years") are both being brought on from New
York for this one production, with Miss Ray as
the slightly poisonous mother and Mr. Van
Sickle as the bumptuous Walter Hallam.
"Another Language," of course, has achieved
an artistic and popular success inNew York quite
unprecedented since "The Green Pastures." It is
still playing on Broadway after a solid year's run.
Possibility this is a better achievement than even
prizes and awards.

who fears he is about to be kicked, and we per-
sonally are left in the aisles.
Hobert Skidmore gave a very amusing perform-
ance when he was sitting down. When he was
standing up he seemed to feel it necessary to
stagger about like a Tony Sarg puppet. We take
it he was trying to look drunk. Mr. Skidmore
has a fine hearty way with him and we wish to
heaven he would stay put, that's all.
We forgot to mention that the plot of "Mur-
ray Hill" is about a young man who is mistaken
for someone else and gets into all sorts of mixups,

Editorial Comment
THE GREAT WHITE MENACE-
(The following is by our staff military expert. Gen-
eral P. Matsumyama, and is printed solely for the
edification of our Tokyo subscribers.)
Citizens of Tokyo! While American military
generals are planning their conquest of the Jap-
anese Empire, they are camouflaging their ne-
farious designs and entertaining their leisure with
magazine articles about an imaginary Japanese
conquest of America.
Countrymen, consult a map of the Pacific and
you will see the Aleutian islands extending out
of Alaska toward our fair shores. This thousand-
-mile-long finger which menaces us from Amer-
ican territory represents, I warn you, the true
spirit of acquisitive American imperialism. Some
day these islands may become alive with specks
of flying life. Like locusts making for orange
blossoms, bomb-laden planes will head straight
for our fertile hills and populous cities. If this
should ever come about, our lands will become a
prey to covetous Americans and our daughters
to their barbarous soldiery.
Do not believe that I am only a jingoist. The
Americans are a war-loving people. In order to
inhabit their land, they dispossessed savage abor-
igines. Today American school children are fed
daily on the tales of their merciless Indian-fight-
ing progenitors.
What have we to defend ourselves from these
warlike Nordics, these descendants of Goths, Huns
and others who vandalized Europe before Amer-
ica? Can we protect ourselves from these con-
scienceless fighters who are backed by the great-
est industrial and financial organization in the
world, a land of which one state, California, alone
is 10,000 square miles larger than Japan?
Even now they may be preparing their terri-
tories in Hawaii, Samoa, Guam and Midway
islands to form stepping stones for the American
conquest. From these and other islands which
could readily be conquered, submarines and de-
stroyers could harass and bottle up shipping from
our ports of Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe, Nagoya,
and Osaka, while, overhead, low-flying bombers,
protected by high-flying combat planes launched
from the Aleutian and Philippine Islands and from
airplane carriers, could bring the war to our very
hearths, terrorizing our staunch citizenry in
Tokyo and other great cities.
Then we must rely entirely on our navy. But
while we risk bankruptcy to appropriate for 62,-
236 tons of defensive ships for 1933, the Amer-
icans swimming in more gold than they can count,
are building two tons of aggressive ships to our
every ton of defensive keel. They have appro-
priated for 122,560 tons, a 17 per cent increase in
the total size of their navy. This despite the fact
that the first of the present year found the United
States with more than 1,900 tons superiority to
Japan, and despite the fact that America already
has 14 capital battle ships to our 10. Can there
be any question as to the outcome of a naval en-
counter in which our fleet not only is outnum-
bered by four capital ships but by one 1,900 ton
coast-guard vessel in addition?

"NOT MORE THAN FOUR PER CENT"
Thursday night we drank no 3. beer at all,
either east or west of Division or any other
street and so, not being prejudiced one way
or the other, we are eminently qualified to
record the judgments of others. It seems
there were those who drank and drank. Also
there were those who merely sipped preoccu-
piedly. Practically all of them that we talked
to absolutely. denied that anything happened
beyond a progressive intensification of that
taut sensation about the midriff.

As a matter of fact, the only reported case
of anybody getting an actual kick out of the
brew was the local profligate whose wife
booted him downstairs when he came in at 4
a. m. sloshing around like a rowboat half full
of water,

Our own reasons for maintaining a digni-
fied aloofness from the long-promised lager
are pretty personal, but they've got quite a bit
to do with the price those pirates downtown
are gettting for the stuff.

The Erstwhile
Mr. Hearst, Again.

0

W ILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST is
angry, again.
The great publisher of the nation's outstanding
bold-type chain of newspapers doesn't like the
grant of dictatorial powers made to President
Roosevelt. He thinks that Congress is falling
down in its constitutional duty by letting the
President do what he thinks it should do. Mr.
Hearst attacked President Hoover for not doing
anything and now he attacks Congress for letting
President Roosevelt do something. Inconsistency,
but, then Mr. Hearst has a reputation for just
that. Last spring, he supported John Garner for
the Democratic presidential nomination and lam-
basted Governor Roosevelt all over the pages of
his many papers. When it became evident that
Roosevelt would secure the nomination, he decided
that the governor was the "people's choice" and
was satisfied with second place on the ticket for
his pet candidate. Thereafter, he praised Candi-
date Roosevelt in the same columns in which he
had assailed him.
Why has Mr. Hearst suddenly developed such a
strong distaste for "dictatorship?" He must know
as well as everyone else that a "dictatorship" in

MISS JOHNSON AGAIN-
Last night Comedy Club presented "Murray]
Hill" by Mr. Leslie Howard, who, it appears, is a
much better actor than playwright. What was
most strange about the evening was that the pro-
duction excelled the play by the length of a star-
boarder's reach.
Mr. Howard's connection with the stage led us
to think that he would write a good actor's play
if not a good audience play, but it is our painful
duty to report tpat the triteness of his plot and
the awkwardness of his construction make the
whole business exceed-ingly difficult for the play-
ers.
