II IGHT HERE is where Margaret

or her convictions in The Tribune Of
last Sunday. And the point Of differ

the old, old experience. the experience
that Geraldine Farrar has never had

fence that Margaret Mayo. the play
wright. makes the basis Of her objec-

Office, but what about the art Of lv-

That's the big art. the worth while
art and it's the art that sends YOU
out Of your narrow. selfish little
sphere into the Ives, into the actiyi-
ties, into the pain Of other PEOPLE. It's
the art that makes aspirations out Of
women, inspirations out of wives
Isn't there the possibility that with
