(From the New york Herald.

possible to sell what labor is en-
ployed to produce.
Sam Gompers knows that what
causes such prohibitlve production
costs is not merely the inflated wage
scale that is insisted upon by the
union labor politicians. He knows
that a contributory cause Isle fail
ure, too often deliberate, of their
misguided and deluded followers to
turn out the work they ought to turn
out as the fair measurement OF an
able-bodied workman's capacity TO
produce.
Sam Gompers knows that such
labor inefficiency, at whatever wage
scale, makes Il impossible for an EN-
ployer thus handicapped by his ex-
cessive labor costs TO sell his goods
in an intensely competitive field
against the goods of another en-
ployer who even at the same wage
scale does get a fair and square re-
turn of product for the wage he
pays.
And Sam Gompers knows that
when an employer cannot sell the
goods that he is paying his employees
to produce for him. cannot sell them
abroad or at home, he has to quit
making the goods. He knows that
this is what forced colossal unem-
ployment among his union follow
ers when the war was ended but
when his federation of unions would
not agree that war conditions too
must be ended. He knows that II is
what hamstrung the oountry's buy
ing power, since Industries cannot
buy in the form of raw materials
what they cannot sell in the form of
finished products. Just as their un-
employed workers cannot spend
what they do not get.
But Sam Gompers, hunting for
the votes of the agitators' dupes.
does not want or does not dare TO tell
this simple truth.

THE TEXAS NIGHTINGALE
,Ry United Press.l

New York, Dec. 11.-When Zoe
Atkins play comes to the Empire The
ater. the combination of author and
place makes the event Of theatrical i'm
portance.
More important, however, than the
traditional standards oil this theater,
from the viewpoint Of those interested
in American drama, is discovering
what the brilliant young writer. poet,
thinker, Zoe Atkins, has achieved in
the drama.
When Zoe Atkins made her first reai
success as a dramatist in "Declasse,"
those who demand realism and con-
struction, too, demurred at the last
act. Then along came the sentimental
"Daddy's Gone Hunting" and Vary
ing Shores" which certainly did not
establish her rights as good dra-
matist.
But in "The Texas Nightingale"
, Zoe Atkins has really won success for
something more than the literary val
ue of her lines. She has written a
well constructed comedy, so deliciously
funny, so psychologically reflective OF
I, human life, pathos, as to place it far
ahead of anything she has heretofore
| done.
And even in this sparkling comedy
with its amusing situations there has
been lost none of that fine philosophic
lietrary quality which marks every
thing to which Zoe Atkins turns her
hand. For first, last and always Miss
Atkins sees life through the eyes OF a
poet and philosopher.
"The Texas Nightingale" is the
story of an Amazonian singer from
the Lone Star state who has, through
the assistance of her second husband,
Steven Tillerton, been raised from the
cheap concert halls to the Metropoli-
tan Opera House. This robust goddess
has been married four times and is on
the point of again marrying a young
violinist. Her nineteen year old son,
Raymond, of whose existence his faith
er. Tillerton is unaware, wishes to
marry an impossibly stupid young
woman. The dominant, primitive
mother and the sophisticated son, who
is also a real poet, are continually
clashing.
The mother and son both appeal to
the surprised father and the denou-

ment of events is through much com
edy and many quivers of pathos. The
"junoesque" Jobyna Rowland has
achieved stardom in "The Texas
Nightingale. Rather than say she
was made for the part, ii might he
more to the point to say the part was
made for her. While there is no un-
derstandng delicacy Of finish TO Miss
Howland's acting, this is quality to
which she does not aspire. Her meth
DDS are extremely robust and hearty.
Humor is broad and laughter provok-
ing. In the role Of the "Texas Night
ingale" she gives full measure OF VI
tality to the comedy and she is truly
gorgeous TO look upon. Percy Heitoh

sized poet son, gives splendid per
