While looking for some one who
would make an actor of him MacLarne

him to "give up the stage, go home and
be honest" MacLarnie took the next
train back to North Adams. But it

his system by a mere train ride, and
the fever soon ragged again. A friend

who had the unusual experience of
being stranded with five different the
atrica troupes in five different tank
towns.
Nicander was man of many parts,
and his principal work in these barn
storming troupes, which comprised two
one-act plays divided with what is at
present known as an olio, was to play
the heavy role, wearing the usual
Simon Legree mustache in the first
act and going on in the olio in spangles
and tights for wire walking stunt,
minus the hirsute adornment.
One night Nicander failed to remove
the mustache, and rather than cause
the $500 worth of audience to wait
until he had removed all vestige of the
villain he started across the wire.
"Bet two bits he falls he heard
soto voce from man.
"Take you," replied another.
"Four bits he breaks his neck" came
another voice.
"Make it eight bits and III take
YOU" said the first voice.
Nicander became so interested in
the betting that he fell. The mus
tachc was torn from his lip, but out
side of few abrasions he was unhurt.

voice. ale didn't break his neck"

By Haywood Broun

Although "Hobohemia" illustrates
the difficulties of making Greenwich
Village satire amusing, the trick can
be turned. 1t was done by Wilbur
Daniel Steele in "Not Smart" in the
last bill of the Provincetown Players.
Sinclair Lewis made the mistake of
not conceding the objects of his satire
any sense at all. To do this is to
make the butt Of satire much too vul-
nerable. After all, the satirist is a
raplersnan, and if there exists no
guard through which he must slip the
work is plain murder. 1t becomes too
brutal to be pretty and too easy to be
amusing.
The satirist is not fool killer. He
must take somebody his size or there
abouts. Although it is essential that
his opponent shall be inferior, a little
clash of steel is needful. And when
the final thrust comes, it should be
modified by little tolerance. A sub
stantial flesh wound is ample Man
kills the thing he loves, but he merely
SdUlElZPS,
In "Not Smart" Steele has wisely
made his opponent at least plausible
adversary. His workmanship is
brilliant if not sound, and when he is
laid low there is the feeling that the
audience has had a run for its money
James X. Light, who plays Milo Tate
the exponent of the Greenwich Village
point of view, gives an exceedingly
amusing and sympathetic interpreta-
ton of cleverly devised role
Blanche Hays and Christine Ell are
also effective.
Ida Rauh, one of the best players O.
the Provincetown group, is less eff
fective in farce than in more substan
tlal drama. She gives sincere, strons
and shrewdly modulated Performance,
in 1.-THE SQuealer," by Mary H. Barber
Here we have an interesting but en-
tlrely conventional play about a worker
who goes back on his pals. The only
novel turn contributed by the drama
fist is in the ending, and this is hardly
an improvement, since the author al
lows her little play to 60 into q stale
mate. Affairs in life do get into JUS
such snarls sometimes, but it is per.
haps a justifiable convention of tn,
drama that play must go on to {
finish.
Although We are generally sympa
thetc to those dramatists who seek te
slice life and show it without trim
mings, we do feel that they must a
least use discretion where they cut. 4
play is not justified by the fact o.
being true if it is not dramatic. j
should tell a story and, in broao
sense, point a moral. 1t should dea
with the currents of life rather thar
the eddes. Holding this belief we die
not find Bosworth Crocker's play, "Tht
Baby Carriage" entirely satisfactory
in spite of what seemed to us excellent
observation. Nature is a good but no
an infallible dramatist. 1t is up to the
rcalist to catch her in one Of her the
atrical moods.

Failing out of fourteenth story
window or being cross-examined in
court is quite similar in its effect
OF causing ones whole life to pass
before his eyes in review. Of course,
it passes more quickly in a fall than
IN REORGANIZATION. Still, after
having had two days in court in testj-
flying in libel suit which an actor
brought against The Tribune on the
basis of one of our dramatic reviews.
VIC know much more about cur past life
than ever before. The counsel for the
plaintiff brought out without difficulty
past in which baseball games were
reviewed and przefights criticised, but
it was not until later in the Afternoon
that he made us vince. That effect
came when he thrust out an accusing
forefinger and said bitterly: "You al
ways write in a humorous vein, don't
you?"
Being under oath, there was nothing
for us to do but deny it.
less dramatic than those on the stage.
Any playwright can acquit a man for
murder in one big scene, but it took
The Tribune almost two days to win
the libel suit. There was never a mo-
ment when we were not reminded of the
third act of Common Clay" Not a
soul broke down. We kept thinking
that 1T would grow more dramatic with
the summing up and the charge, and
the jury silently filing out, and we
wanted to do our part. We thought it
made a difference, for instance, where
the accused man sat, but our lawyer
said "No." Just the same we moved
our chair up and faced the twelve
lawyer and then the other discussed
the case. The difference in their point
of view seemed strongly marked. 1t
was while the counsel for our side was
talking that something happened which
promised drama, but it proved a dis
appointment. We were gazing intently
at the jury, and suddenly one of the
talesmen winked at US. We met his
eye again and once more he winked.
1t seemed most propitious sign until
we watched the juror obliquely and
found that he had nervous trouble
with that particular eye and winked
at everybody without discrimination.
After all, it wasn't the cross-exam-
nation which bothered us so much as
the court attendant, who kept pokin.
US in the ribs whenever we let our
feet hang down out Of the witness box.
