performance. extremely well pre-

Mr.. Harrison believes that the
Fiiipinos have established a stable
government, and that they should
be allowed to run it-that they
should have independence II they
want It. and that they do. unquer

glorification Of the greatest manu-.
facturer known to the United

raphy, rehearsing Mr.. Ford's life
from childhood to 1922, are as IN
terestfng as can be.
