Wv the turmoil of wars aftermath the airmen
are humming into the future wings of inspira-
ton and silk They are getting away from
us. We stare up at them they soar thru the daz-
zing sheen of the sky. and marvel.
The future unfolds with the pioneer flight Of the
gigantic Yank plane. the NC-4, over the ocean. The
little world of man shrinks and is agog. while the
world of scientific man laughs exultantly We all
feel the most-forgotten thrill of exploration and ad
venture of romance and excitement, that is not in
peace ruthless conquest. but in discovery,
achievement-progress that leaps far out and yet
has its basic scientific framework and will not fall
back.
The mystery Of the universe opens again. The
lure of unexpored planets and stardust are recalled
to the visionary, while the less speculative mind, if
it contemplates the future. the unfolding of
mighty events and wonderful things.

CHRONICLE AND COMMENT OF THE STAGE
The Case for George
C0han and M0desfv

Come in Democracy" There are mo-
monts through all of this when you
are almost ready to believe that Mr.
Cohan has not left unstudied the op-
positions of earns and the Man"
1t is at that point, however, that the
Cohan modesty forces itself on your
attention. For throughout "The Royal
Vagabond" are scattered the shy be-
ginnings of satiric ideas; they are
never followed through to the point of
affirmation, never driven home. The
leader Of the republicans is almost a
good enough portrait to stand for some
of our own demagogues, and in the end
he takes his orders indirectly from the
throne itself. But the satire, such as
it is, is only limited at, never pro-
claimed. Doubtless the Cohan sense
Of artistry keeps it from going any fur
ther, in a we'll ordered belief that
more serious intention would spoil the
pleasantly humorous flow Of ideas of
comic opera.
That is as it should be; but behind
it is good deal more, the modesty of
George himself. So intelligent play
maker could not long hide from him
self the fact that sometimes humor
emerges into the form of an intellec-
tual idea. And the atmosphere of his
playground is against ideas, and out
Of modesty he forbears recognizing
them as such. However, when you
look over the countenance that Broad
way habitually presents you realize it
may not be only modesty that with
holds the Cohan satire from bloom. 1t
is barely possible that he's afraid.
There probably aren't enough Serious
Persons in the world to make it worth
while.
