}ooth Harrington Gained
Material for SPoldekin''
When lie Was q Socialist

Radicals Of every shade and hue have
,oon directing their attention for sew
sral weeks past to Booth Harrington,
Nhose anti Bolshevist comedy, "Polde-
Nin,' in which George Arliss is appear
ing at the Park Theater, has aroused
a tempest of comment.
1t is charged that the Indiana play
wllght-novelist knows very little about
3olshevism or socialism, either for
that matter, and that in satirizing the
program o. the existing regime in
Russia he has not given the Reds what
IS known in the vernacular as a fair
ST axe"
This is interesting, in view Of the
fact that Mr.. Harrington was once
Socialist himself and an enthusiastic
cne. This was in the early days of his
writing career, when he used to meet
weekly with q Socialist group in little
hall over corner grocery out in In
dianapolis. At The time socialism was
considerably rarer than it is now. In
Il letter to friend in this city, writ
ten before the production of "Poldc-
kim" he referred to this early and
his early life and correctly antic-
pated the possible trend of the criti-
cisms which would be directed at him.
THE Socialists, of course" he
wrote, will say that my arguments
are pueriie Socialists always call any
anti socialism puerile or the like.
was an avowed Socialist myself once
and an internationalist into the bar
gain. l know the stuff. When any
body Jecred or argued at socialism
felt the fellow was ignorant-that was
the explanation. | knew it all"
In other letters written to this
same friend before and after the pro-
duction of "Poldckin," he has outlined
at length some of his own views on
the general subject of socialism with
the pungency and terseness that are to
be found in everything he writes. This
friend, in discussing the play, had
written him that he felt Something
was wrong with our economic system"
something that called for change.
Here is the pithy little essay which
came through the mails in reply to
that:
Something wrong with our economic
system-Whoa
What is our economic system?
"Is it ours?
Isn't it neture's?
Who devised, planned this system 2
Wouldn't you be more accurate If
you translated thus:

Gerard and of interviewing" her. But
