A Cay Mix-Up
Potpourri of Misinformation Regard
ing The Beggar's Opera
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have amused myself this
afternoon by searching for more errors
of statement regarding one play, Gays
"The Beggar's Opera" so recently and
so variously in the public linotype.
Alas, my communication of June IL
now seems colorless indeed; behold the
latest findings from only part of my
clippings on the subject:
''The Beggar's Opera" was revived
in London in 1859 Boston Post), in
stead of 1920 1t came to America after
"a two years brilliant run in London
(Musical Leader), instead of about
seven months. 1t played in New York
for eight weeks Indianapolis Starr, in
stead of little over four weeks. It
was written by Benjamin Gay (Chi-
'cago Tribune), instead of John. It
contains sixty-eight songs (The Drama)
instead of sixty-nine. Its music is ga
modernized version of old English
tunes by DR.. Arne, Pepusch, Handel and
others of their time" (Chicago Ameri-
CAM, instead of old English ballad airs,
mainly, of uncertain composition. 1t
contains Handel's march from "Rinal-
do' as a finale for the second act (Bos-
ton Post), instead of close to the be-
ginning of that act 1t had a sequc.
called Polly Peachum" (Cincinnati

Medicinal Use of Alcohol
American Medical Association Veers From Former
Opposition York County Society Silenced
% The Editor of The Tribune.

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Medical, pharmaceutical and
chemical organizations, as well as in
dividual medical men Of prominence in
this city. are protesting the passage
OF the bill supplemental to the Vol
stead act as destructive to medicine,
chemical science and industry in this
country.
At the recent meeting in Boston of
the American Medical Association the
House of Delegates refused to re-
affirm decision of this body made in
1917. This decision was to the effect
that alcohol had neither value as
food nor merit as a remedy in disease.
On the other hand, resolutions were in
troduced at this meeting in the section
on pharmacology and therapeutics,
where this subject properly belongs,
declaring that this act would ~nullify
the right of the physician to prescribe
in accordance with his knowledge and
his judgment and would substitute for
his qualifications and experience the
provisions of statute laid down by a
lay body.
While these opinions are being open
ly proclaimed at this time, one of the
most influential and representative
medical organizations in the country,
the Medical Society of the County Of
New York, is debarred from discussing
this subject. This situation had been
brought about by what The Medical
Record calls Curious error" This
error, so called, is founded on the de-
cree Of the comitia minora after con-
sultation with counsel that: "The Vol
stead act deals with the regulation of
intoxicants used for beverage purposes
and not with alcohol used for thera-
peutic purposes, and therefore does not
come within the jurisdiction Of the So
ciety." Commenting on this decision,
Fhe Medical Record says: "Of course,
