GEORGE M. CONAN
THE PRIME MOVER
Collier Also Present, as Well as
a Long and Honorable
List of Others.

This years crop of all-star enter
tainments came in like a Lambs Gam
Dol, but il went out like a Friars
Frolic. At the New amsterdam The
atre last night the Friars staged one
Of their infrequent offerings, with a
whirlwind tour OF the country TO fol-
low. II is a good show. There is hard
ly n dull spot in it from cover to cover,
and last night it inspired a cumula-
tive gale of merriment that had plenty
Of sincerity back of it, despite the pre-
ponderance Of professional folk in the
audience. Other cities and other audi
ences may find portions Of it unintel-
ligible. but there was no doubt of what
last nights gathering thought of 1t.
The only serious note Of the show was
the price of admission.
Back Of the Friars' production has
been at least one Of the fine, but not
particularly Italian, hands of George
Michael Cohsn. Mr.. Cohan IS not the
sole author of the entertainment, but
he has been moulder in chief. Conse-
ouently the show was something more
than the composite appearance of col
lection of stars-here and there 1t con-
tains an idea. And one or two OF the
ideas. it seems probable, will eventually
find their ways into regular produc-
tions.
OF particular merit was an offering
by nine more or less celebrated COM
posers, the point of which was the com
posers' indebtedness to Mr.. Mendels-
sohn. Each of the nine frankly con-
fessed that the Spring Song" had been
source Of frequent inspiration, and
then proceeded TO prove it by playing
a cleverly conceived composition which
combined the original and few OF the
arrangements. This act terminated
with what can be described by no less
emphatic word than knockout
Irving Berlin and Harry Carroll did an
acrobatic act! They sang song
danced and then did handspring
apiece for a rousing climax.
And then there was the fact that

concentrations, He Says.

Not because Louis D. Brandeis. is a
great Jew, but because he is a man,
who by force OF ability and character
has attained recognition to a high posi-
ton, was Rabbi Stephen S. Wise's
stated reason for discussing "The
Brandeis Case: It's Meaning" before
the congregation Of the Free Syna-
gogue in Carnegie Hall yesterday.
Notice has been given the United
States Senate, DR.. Wise told his hear
ers, that hereafter every man nomi-
mated to the Supreme Court is to be
put to the acid test just as severely as
has Brandeis.
zone of these days the plain people
arc going to turn on these members of
the bar who have been opposing Bran
Geis," said DR.. Wise, "and ask for their
credentials"
DR.. Wise termed the fight TO keep
Brandes off the Supreme Court bench
as fagrantly partisan.
"Mr. Brandeis is not really a radical,
unless to use ones mind on social eco
nomic questions is to be a radical"
said Dr.. Wise. as q man to be called
a wrecker because he has pointed out
that property is being looted? Are not
they TO be blamed who are makers OF
the moral muck which he sets out to
clear away?
as a man unjudicial because his
mind has not been a vacuum, touching
other than legal questions? Is it TO be
judicial not to think with respect TO
extra-legal problem? Is it not little
absurd TO say no more TO name him
unjudicial. who brought evenhanded

turmoil who invented an instrument Of
peace such as the protocol has proved

"As for the judicial mindedness, the
four or five legal celebrities who pre-
sumed to pass upon Mr.. Brandeis's fit
ness and character were absolutely de-
barred by the circumstances Of char

ton. They did not understand the

Court namely, the people. If he

character which Mr.. Brandeis has
undergone every man hereafter named
for the bench must be subject. In the
light of history Of the Brandeis case
we shall hereafter attach less weight
TO the recommendation of the bar as

ethics of the legal profession is found
TO consist of a rather fimsy profes-
sional caste etiquette"

GERMAN CHEMICALS.

In "The American Magazine" Albert
W. Atwood says:
ut becomes more and more clear
that the fostering care given the Ger
man chemical industry was due not
solely to solicitude for the share hold
ers of the great works along the Rhine.
High explosives, dye stuff and drugs
are merely different stages in the dis
tillation of the same crude base of coal
tar. Germany was prepared for mill
tary victory and conquest far more,
believe, because OF her well-rounded
chemical industry than because of the
existence of large army. She had
one group of products TO export to
other countries in times of peace and
another group for her own use IN time
of war"

A TENDERFOOT IN ASIA
Climber of Temples at Baalbek Meets
with Adventure.


The great size and stability of the
temples at Bsalbek inspire confidence
in the climber, says "The Christian
Herald" A stairway leads TO the top
OF the celia walls-the solid walls Of
the temple proper-which project for
ffty feet above the ground. From the
top of the stairway one has a fine view
Of the surrounding country and also of
the great stones that await one below.
As | was crossing just above the great
doorway my foot slipped. 1t didn't
slip more than an inch. But that slip
nearly scared me out of weeks
growth Of beard that | was wearing at
the time. | looked back at the insig-
nifcant gap that had jumped, and
then down at the mass Of solid stone
below. None of that lace-like stone
was in sight. 1t all looked hard. |
trembled so that | thought | would
shake the temple. | was on one side of
the gap and the only way down was on
the other. | wanted 10 get down the
worst way. Falling of seemed the
worst way to get down, but that didn't
suit me.
l tried to cross that little gap on my
hands and knees and every other way
| could think of, but | would just get
one foot or one hand across the gap
when | began TO conceive liking
for the place where was. Around the
outside of the temple runs little line
Of moldng and five feet above it an
other. This is above a sheer drop of
fifty feet, but went around that mold
ing, over half the distance around the
temple, rather than cross the gap
which had been but step until my
foot slipped. I have since had to
undergo the punishment Of seeing a
woman in a fairly narrow skirt jump
across, but when come to that gap
am a thorough coward. Some day |
am going back there TO force myself
across that gap.
