Thus abruptly ends the protest and
the prediction Of disaster for Barney
Barnard if he follows his intention to
personally produce "The Merchant Of
Venice" this fall.
The prediction is somewhat flushed
in view Of the fact that Mr.. Demands
determination to give Shylock is based
on the success he achieved in the role
during the early years of his career in
California. In fact, his performance
in "The Merchant Of Venice" given in
San Francisco was Of such distinction
that the fame Of it still lives here and
there. Indeed, he has often been asked
to portray the famous Jew for his New
York public. Finally, one Of America s
distinguished aeronauts and art collec-
tors SO wanted to see Barney Bernard
as Shylock on Broadway that he agreed
to finance a production Of "The Mer-
chant of Venice" with unstinted lavish

Admiring Friends Fear for
Bernard i'm Role of Shylock

Since Barney Bernard's recent an.
nouncement that he would give fou,

son there has been started back fire
Of protest. The general approval OF
Mr.. Demands intention to portray
Shylock is here and there shot with
CONSERVATION. That CONSERVATION is
born Of habit--the habit which has
been acquired by Mr.. Demands public
of seeing him in the long line OF Potash
and Perlmutter comedies. So CLOSELY
mas he become associated with the
bungling, lovable Abe Potash in the
thought of this public that here and
there some one has risen to tell him
frankly that he should never digress
from his present role.
Writes one Of Mr.. Bernardo admirers
on the subject from New York City

In the program for American

people are asked to consider what
they, as a nation, can do for the
army OF five million persons over ten
years OF age enumerated as litter
~ttes in the census OF 1920. Illiteracy
is a relative term. II may be ap-
pied TO persons who vary all the
way from those unable TO sign their
names up to those possessing a de-
gree OF hteracy that is equivalent to
that Of a child in the NTH grade of
the elementary school. The five
million persons classified as iiliterate
by the Census Bureau are only those
who, by their own admission cannot
write their own names. 1t does not
include millions OF others who de-
serve to be classified as illiterate be-
cause they lack that degree Of edu-
cational attainment necessary to-
discharge intelligently their duties
as citizens in a democracy. II the
standard set by the army, the ability
to read and understand a newspaper
and write letters were used as
basis OF measurement of literacy,
the number would be increased to
20 millions.

the world has as high a percentage |
of illiteracy as the United States. |
This is a blot upon the nation which /
thinking citizens cannot permit to

democratic institutions Is TO remain

look to each State for the adoption
of a program of adult elementary
education or Americanization that

the opportunity to learn TO read,

deficit for the current year OF 5000,

economies and readjustments have
already reduced It TO $273, 600, 900

now put at $3.50, 100000.

chose TO risk deficit rather than to
increase taxation. It appropriated
much more than the Treasury's ex-
