Special Washington Correspondence
 Washington, D. C., May S.-Con- gressman Wingo has been acting as Democratic Floor Leader during the absence from Washington of Repre- sentative Garrett. It is generally un- derstood that if the Democrats get control of the House this fall, MT. Garrett will be made speaker and MT. Wingo will be rendered tho office of floor leader. Democratic success in the coming election however would mean that MT. Wingo would be eligi- 'ble to the chairmanship of the Bank ing and Currency Committee, and as that is one of the most important and desirable committees of the House it is doubtful that he would forgo the honor of presiding over that commit tee for the thankless though important duties of floor leader.

SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT--By HEYWoOD BRoUN

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-As q test
Of antiprohibition sentiment in
America "The Old Soak" by Don
Marquis. may prove even more in
formative than the Literary Digest
poll. 1t seems to us that for warm
appreciation the play demands an
audience with feeling for
liquor" Nor does the play limit
its appeal merely to moderates in
the matter. "The Old Soak" has no
patience with beer and wine and
all such soft drinks. Possibly he
is merely little franker than the
rest. We have always suspected
that many of the persons who an
nounce themselves as satisfied with
modification are under the impress
sion that gin Ia light wine. There
can be no question about the posi-
tion Of the Old Soak. At such times
as he can he stands squarely for
hard liquor. =,
The play Is interesting as a
proof of the fact that exactly the
same methods which have been
used manys times to celebrate the
ennobling influence Of country air
or home cooking can be, employed
to indicate the sentimental appeal
Of rum. At no point in the play

and publicly confess himself a pro-
hibitionist.
The comedy evidently had its
genesis in a character and not in
any turn Of plot. Somebody must
have told Don Marquis that there
was a play in the Old Soak whose
reflections on the tragedy of life
under the volstead act were ap-
pearing in the Sun. This statement
has not quite been borne out. The
entertainment which is presented
to us Is rather the Old Soak and q
play. The two touch but casually.
The plot was an afterthought
Mr.. Marquis has provided a story
because that is the conventional
thing to do. And yet we fancy that
the overly dutiful narration which
follows the Old Soak at a distance
is not calculated to disturb or
worry anybody much except drama
leaguers and other students of the
theater. Technically speaking. '.The
Old Soak" is a very bad play, but
why be technical about something
which provides almost the best en-
tertainment in New York?
There is traditional sanction for
the style of entertainment which

'1f Winter Comes" as Play,

A. S. M. Hutchinson's Popular Novel Reaches
Footlights But Receives Mixed
Verdict From Critics.

The intense popularity in Amer

IF Winter Comes" makes of par
ticular interest the news that Lon
don theater circles have been
deeply stirred by the dramatiza-
tion in England of this very un-
usual story.
The adaptation was made by B.
Macdonald Hastings. 1t has been
tried out first at Margate, a popular
resort on the Kent coast, and is
to be taken on provincial tour be-
fore 1t makes London in the fall.
Probably no production outside of
London ever has attracted so much
attention. IF Winter Comes" was
an extraordinarily successful novel,
but whether 1t was the kind Of
novel that lent itself to turning into
a successful play was another ques-
tion, which dramatic critics made
wholesale pilgrimage to Margate to
answer.
They have brought back a very
uncertain answer. There Is a clear
cut division of opinion among the
most competent critics whether the
play Is good or bad; nobody conn
promises on finding 1t just indiffer-
ent. The book had its dramatic
scenes, but its chief interest lay in
the character of Mark Sabre. Again.
1t was a longish novel, with a mass
