New Woods Farce
Fails to Shock
Anybody Much
'sCetting Certie's Carrier at
Republic Has High Spirits
to Recommend 1t, but
Neglects to Raise Bushes
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

1t has been our experience that when
ever gentleman, particularly a middle
aged one, says Here's a pretty good
one fellow told the other night; stop
me if you've heard it," it never is a
good one and we have always heard ii
And yet we have sufficient respect for
honest effort not to stop the gentleman
nor did we get up last nigh. at the
Republic Theater during the perform
ance of Getting Gertie's Garter" to
shout, Louder and dirtier."
But there is limit to tact, and we
cannot longer withhold the fact that
Getting Gertie's Garter" has in it not
a line nor situation to shock a med
ern audience. Radium, RELATIVELY and
the sub-electron have all come and
passed by Al Woods as he stood at his
given point secure in his ancient faith
in the tug of the word garter" DWELL
ing far from the world in that monas-
tic land which we call TIE theater, poor
Mr. Woods thinks that they still wear
them. Indeed, Mr. Woods has spon-
sored several scenes in che new farce
in which lady raises her skirt to adj
just one. A manager can hardly be
expected to know the difference be-
tween scandal and supererogation.
We do not mean to contend that there
is nothing funny in the farce by Avery
Hopwood and Wilson Collision. 1t is old
fashioned, to be sure, but it is exceed
ingly vigorous and as sincere as play
full puppy. The only trouble Is that
MI. Hopwood made his reputation as
farce writer back in the days when the
favorite sport was skating on thin ice.
Since then audiences have learned to
swim. 1t is possible that Getting
Gertie's Garter" might put the house
into tumult If performed before an
audience consisting of John s. Sumner
and John Roach Straton. Even at that
we are not sure Mr. Straton would feel
that it was important enough for him
to send a riot call to heaven, anc
perhaps it would send no shivers down
the spine of Sumner for after all he
has read Jurgen.
For two acts Getting Gertie's Gar
ter" offers considerable amusement by
virtue Of tremendous pace and certain
naive hilarity. Anybody who has ever
been present at the annual banquet
at which the track team of the Union
Theological Seminary breaks training
will understand what we mean But
the pace which kills cannot be main
tanned for three acts. There comes a
time when the average spectator be-
gins to wish that no one will slam a
single door once more or jump into
-four barrel or hide in the trunk.
Arthur Hopkins's scheme OF making
his actors keep close to the back drop
and express themselves laconically
with their shoulder blades seems in

Theatrical Breach Widens

meeting was held yesterday in the
Offices of the theatrical managers be-
tween representatives of seventy the
aters extending from Portland, Me-, to
Omaha, and officials of the union rep
rcsenting stage and orchestra employees
in the various houses in an effort to end
a long standing controversy between
managers and employees. A set of arti-
cies proposed by the managers at this
meeting was not acted upon by the
employees representatives. After the
meeting it was announced that no peace
agreement seemed probable.
The managers issued a statement
later saying that they had decided to
carry out their proposed open shop
policy. 1t was said the union officials
had announced inability to act decis-
ively for the various locals in the ma
sional organization. The representa-
tives Of the managers thereupon ex-
pressed their belief that it was useless
to proceed with negotiations.

The war brought to labor inflated
wages, to merchants exorbitant pro-
fits and to manufacturers fortune
making profits. The war over; eco
nomic law started a downward move
ment. Farseeing men in all bust
nesses, trades and professions accept
ed the changed condition and took in
evitable losses at once, but complete
readiustment has been and is being
retarded by those who cautiously
cling to wartime conditions. The re-
suit is a disorganization of the bust
ness of the country. Appeals to these
misguided classes is fruitless. Only
time with its resulting hardships will
force recognition that economic law
must work itself out, though it must
leave much wreckage IN It's path.

PURSUED BY HARD LUCK

The Democrats in Louisville are
between the devil and the iron works
in the municipal election. They were
off to a bad start in the beginning
and hard luck has been pursuing
them every since Former city ad-
ministrations had been so hopelessly
rotten that the party did not dare go
before the people with the old lead
ers, and it went through a process
of reorganization. The Doolans and
the Galatians. excellent citizens but
novices in politics, took over party
management, whereupon Whalen,
Higgins and Cronin told the goOdy
GOODIES to run along and see where
they would run to. The new mana
gers held a convention and nominat-
ed a candidate for mayor who was in
eligible, after which they brought out
an obscure lawyer named Harris,
who was strong on promises but
weak on works. Then came another
calamity. Harris with lady friend
attended a dinner in the country and
on the way back got lost and wander
ed about on an unused road with the
automobile lights out, according to
the testimony of wo policemen who
had been assigned to that territory for
a clean up. Harris denied that he was
off the main thoroughfare and in
sisted that one of his machines eyes
was blinking when approached by the
officers. and ,contented himself with
the statemnt that it was his word
against the two officers. He Meth
err gave the name of the family with
which he claimed to have had dinner
nor that of the lady with whom he
was driving. And although the Of
ficers' report, if untrue, was libelous,
as we'll as damaging to his candidacy
for mayor, he has so far, refrained
from filing suit for damages or ask
ing a warrant for libel.

" known outside OF the states me-
tropolis, we ventured the prediction
in the columns OF this paper that the
time was not far distant when the Re-
publican leaders Of the state sitting
at their council table would have to
ask young MIR. Searcy to sit in
Since that time he has not only
been asked to sit in, but has been
called to set at the head of the table
as chairman of the State Central Com
mittee. and was recently made a
member of the party's national coun-
Gil. Mr.. Searcy is a new type of po-
litical leader. He has come 20 HIS
honors by sheer force of character
and ability to get results. And his
successful leadership is not clouded
with criticism of a single incident of
conduct unbecoming the high official
stations he has filled. Energy. re-
sourcefulness and honorable conduct
are the wrungs of the ladder upon
which he has climbed to the highest
position within tn gift of his party.
MI. Searcy is not a machine politi-
clan. profting himself or allowing his
friends to profit in politics at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers and a hostile
press has never dared to connect his
name with a questionable act.

. A writer in one of the country's
most widely read magazines assumes
that the church is driving many peo-
pie from its doors by its policy of in
sisting upon legislation to force peo-
pie to observe regulations whose
chief claim to observance is that they
are church-forbidden. The church,
according to this writer whose posi-
ton appears to be based upon solid
grounds. has no just right to go be-
yond the authority Of its Divine
Founder, who relied upon persua-
sion; never on force. The church is
the keepr of morals through its in
flunce upon the hearts and con-
sciences of men, and when it as such
enters the arena of politics it be-
comes a stumbling block in the path
way of moral progress.

The world watches with intense
interest the diplomatic battle between
England and Ireland. While Eng
land was hesitating to give the EN-
erald Isle the long demanded Home
Rule, the Irish nation extended its
demands to independence, and has ac-
tualIy set up Republic. Such action
on the part of the Irish fifty years
ago would have resulted in its lead
ers being shot for treason, but such
is the world sympathy for the little
country struggling for freedom that
the uplifted hand of England hest
tates to strike. But the end of the
struggle can not now be long delayed.
The end will come, and come, soon,
and the result will be grant Of do

eminent, and not independence, is the
verdict of mankind, which England
will be forced to grant and the Irish
people compelled to accept,

The last session Of the General As
sembly. responding TO an advanced
and enlightened public sentiment,
passed a law making it possible to
take the judiciary out of politics. by
legalizing the endorsement of judi
cial candidates by opposition parties
The Republicans of louisville have
respected this advanced sentiment by
endorsing two Democratic judges of
the jefferson circuit court. The
master commissioner of Jefferson
county is and will remain a Demo-
crat but such puerile considerations
were not thought OF by the Republic
cans in making such endorsement.
Judge Slack and Commemorative At

Rarely do the press or the people
pay just honor to the profession OF
the law. A few attorneys who en-
gage in sharp practice bring the
whole profession into disrepute, but
the great body of lawyers are per-
forming an honorable and useful ser
vice to the public. In the natural
course of events many pople can not
agree upon a settlement of their diff
ferencs and go to the lawyers for an
adjustment Some of such disputes
go before the courts for adjustment
by judge or jury, but by far the
greater number of them are settled
out of court by the lawyers. 1t is in
the privacy of their law offices rath %
er than in the courts that the lawyers
render their greatest services to the
public, and it is this fact that robs
the profession of much of the honor
due ii.

vile, Va. This letter is typical of
many contributed by practical farmers

calves a year so as to be able to Gull

II started with common grades Of
all kinds. but they were good ones.
Then l began using my neighbours
purebred bull, and kept the best heif-

bought six grade Holstein heifers and
also a purebred bull. Then I added
two purebred cows.
