New-York tribune., 1921-08-15
By Haywood Broun

Stout Cortez was silent when he saw
the Pacific, but if he had lived long
enough to discover authentic satire II
a Broadway theater he might have
shouted with the rest. Dulcy, by
George S. Kaufman and Marc Connolly,
was produced at the Frazee on Satur-
day night. The new comedy is built
around the character of Dulcinea. Gre
ated by Franklin P. Adams in the Con-
ming Tower. 1t seems to us that the
authors, aiming at a certain OBJ
ject, have hit something else on the
ricochet. This by-product of their
Workmanship happens to be- the more
valuable prize of the two.
The intent of the playwrights has
been to satirize the making Of bro
mides, with Dulcy as the horrible ex-
ample. This is an amusing pastimc,
but it does not begin to be as hilari-
ously funny as the incidental satire
directed against the makers of national
advertising and motion pictures.
Vincent Leach, scenarist, seems to us
by far the happiest Characterization in
the play. 1t is Leach who obliges the
company at Dulcy's house party by de-
scribing the plot of his new film. a
super feature picture not released on
the regular program. His scenario is en-
titled "Sin," and, beginning with Noah's
Ark, it describes the progress of evil
through the ages. Long before Mr..
Leach has finished his outline of the
first reel the curtain descends to indi-

White Denounces
Republican Tax
Revision Measure
Change in Bill, Democratic
Chairman Asserts, Has
Added Confusion to Gov
ernment's Fiscal Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-The Ad-
ministration tax revision program was
attacked tonight by Chairman White
of the Democratic National Committee,
who declared in formal statement
that business men would not be fooled
by the methods adopted by the Repub-
licans sin order to make false show
Of economy"
"The sudden change in the Republi-
can tax bill program decided upon at
the recent White House conference"
said Mr.. White, "has only added con-
fusion and unce rtainty to the govern
ment's fiscal situation, and business
and financial circles generally are sar-
prlsed and disappointed at President
Harding's Reputation OF Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon as his fiscal ad-
wiser and his recognition instead of
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee as the financial
guide Of his Administration
Secretary Mellon told Congress
presumably with the knowledge and
approval of the President, that he will
need $4,554 100000 to meet government
expenditures for the next fiscal wear.
lie told Congress also, in view of these
expenditures, that taxes cannot be
reduced.
This meant, Of course, that the Re-
puplican campaign promise to reduce
Federal taxes would not and, in fact.
could not be kept
chairman Fordney, who wrote the
wonderful tariff bill of which the Sen
ate IS expected to leave only the en-
acting clause, came to the political
rescue of the Administration and an
nounced plan to reduce taxes regard
less of the amount of money needed
to meet expenditures which would Gre
ate deficit to be taken care of by bor-
rowing the money, thus Increasing the
public debt; but, as the optimistic Mr..
Fordney saw it, his plan would make
1T appear that the party was keeping
Its campaign pledge to reduce taxes
and was making a grand record of
economy.
Upon his return from his vacation.
President Harding was called upon to
choose between the Mellon plan of
providing for enough revenue to meet
expenditures and the Fordney plan for
juggling the taxes by fictitious reduc-
tions and false show of economy. He
chose the Fordney plan, seemingly
sacrificing an honest financial policy
to political expediency, which ought to
deceive nobody.
The business world has waited long
Tor sane and honest revenue act in
order to adjust it's affairs and escape
the business stagnation caused by two
years delay under Republican rule in
revising the internal taxes. 1t will not
be satisfied with this sort of political
Jugglery. Speaking as business man
myself, | warn the Republican Admin
istration that business men will not
be fooled by such methods in order to
make false show of economy"

Sixty-seven schools with a total Of
aiy 1l9 pupils are maintained by New
ork State, according to the following
able:
New York State maintains fifteen
chools each of which is attended by
My one pupil.
New York State maintains ffty-two
schools each of which is attended by

New York State maintains 1877

,y the league with the cooperation of
women's clubs and organizations in
many counties. Returns SO far have
been received from forty of the fifty
seven counties in the state.
The purpose of the survey is to
New-York tribune., 1921-08-15

arouse interest among women in con-
aitions affecting the health of children,
to uncover conditions actually existing
IN the schools Of the state and to draw
conclusions from the evidence as to
what is necessary in the way of cdu-
cational reform.
Consolidation in Rural Districts
In preliminary statement Of the
accomplishments of the first part of
the survey, signed by DR.. S. Josephine
Baker and DR.. Dorothy c. Kempf, they
say:
zone Of the foremost needs is con-
solidation in rural districts. The
school district now is an area two
miles square and the result is that
there are fifteen schools in the state
with only one pupil. 1t is obviously
an inefficient system that permits the
equipment and maintenance Of school
tor only two or three pupils, when
through consolidation of the districts,
with. transportation provided for the
chlidren, a far better training could
DC given at less cost. Efforts to bring
about consolidation often are met with
stubborn resistance
ITO particularize, a school in one
OF our counties has been conducted for
several years with only three pupils.
The school trustee happens to be the
father of the three children. He is
also employed as janitor of the school,
and, to. clinch it, he boards the
teacher"
Calls Country School Archaic
Disadvantages of the country school
child in comparison with city trained
children were pointed out yesterday
by Professor Mabel Carney, of Colum-
bia University, after conference with
country school superintendents from
al, over the nation.
After referring to the fact that the
country school term averages 1877 days
year, as against 1877 for city children.
and that the country child suffers from
inefficient teaching as we'll as poor
administration in country schools,
Professor Carney said:
THAT country children prosper as
we'll as they do is due more largely
to the wholesome influence of the aver
age country home than to any advan-
tage gained in the one-teacher school.
The latter is an archaic institution
which should be abandoned. The wis
est and most direct solution of our
national country life problem is to be
attained through proper attention to
the rural schools of the country.
New-York tribune., 1921-08-15

cate the passing OF half an hour, and
when 1t goes up Leach is saying, "Then
Fred rushes to the edge of the cliff and
looks over, but the Weasel is dead"
Coming to the final reel we are in
formed that Fred Kisses Clara, and "to
preserve the symbolism Marc Antony
is Immediately shown Kissing Cleopatra
and George Washington kissing Martha
Washington" The whole scene of
Leach's recital and it's effect upon the
composite house party ia the most sue
cessful portion in the play and as deft
and happy piece of satire, or possibly
burlesque, as the stage has known in
our time.
The young advertising man who has
made the country es-conscious'
is almost as good and the snatch of
the musical evening which we are per-
mitted to see is another glorious piece
of foolery. From our point of view
the richness of the new comedy is
found chiefly between the ribs. 1t tells
n story which is an ingenious and
workmanlke manipulation of moder-
ately familiar theatrical material We
have, for instance, the big merger, the
mysterious millionaire who turns out
to be somebody else, and the pearl
Kaufman and Mr.. Connolly have OBJ
served the workings of the thcater to
good effect But they have done bet
ter than that in the rest periods be-
tween the rounds. The towels fly
faster than the more premeditated
punches and stir more breeze. And
on the breeze come currents from the
world outside the theater. This gives
Dulcy the air which makes it tingle
1t achieves in its best moments an
impromptu spirit which challenges the
moods of Glare Hummer and Of Tark-
ington. This is a gaiety so free that
it owes no allegience to plot or to
plan. 1t salts the tail of the diem and
catches it.
The first medal for shaking the
shaker belongs to Lynn Fontanne
This is an exceedingly merry perform
ance. The humor of young woman
supposed to be deadly bore might
actually become so in less skillful
hands, but Miss Fontanne preserves the
spirit Of mockery and the authors have
been wise enough never to let the
bromides swirl into drifts. Howard
Lindsay, who staged the piece, is very
funny as the motion picture writer
and Elliott Nugent does capital work
as the young advertising man. Greg
ory Kelly is funny, but shade toe
much aware of his opportunities. He
has trick of hurling every line as if
it were a bombshcll. Gilbert Douglas
Wallis Clark, John Westley and George
Alison are all effective. Dulcy is an
ingenious trick play and the patter
which introduces the legerdemain is
even better than the stunts.
New-York tribune., 1921-08-15

in the form of heart failure as soon as
he has confessed the murder of which
he had convicted his best friend.
The parting of the hero and his
faithful spouse at the prison door and
the scene where he pleads with the
warden not to drive him out into the
cold, hard world from the kindly shell
ter of his cell just because his inno-
cencc has been established twenty
years too late are particularly touch
ing. He finally returns to his home,
however, arriving just in time to save
his son from murder, his daughter
from life of shame and his wife from
the brutalities of a second husband.
The appropriate happy ending follows.
The picture should make a big hit on
Fourteenth Street.
