THE THEATRE
(By The FeaerateA Pre.al

NEW YORK CITY, March g.
Never has Mr.. Bernard Shaw been
more impressive than in "Saint
JOAN" which is enjoying its first
presentation on any stage thru the
Theatre Guild here. And sterling
production, at that. One feels that,
in this play, G, B. S. has unleashed
the pent-up, hot emotions which, in
his most successful works. he has
subordinated to cold intellectually.
Not that saint Joan" does not
abound in satire. But this is the
weakest aspect of his powerful
stage chronicle. The iibes at the
English in "Saint Joan" often verge
perilously close to the slapstick; and
of the blows at the Catholic church,
few are telling, while many are
overstressed. In the second act,
wherein the Archbishop Of Rheims
unveils the shams Of his cult, one
wishes that his receptions were rem
dered less apparent and that the
dramatist had left us to do more Of
our own "debunlSing." But these
vulnerable passages serve to magni-
fly the mature wisdom and beauty
of the play as a whole.
Mr.. Shaw leaves the traditional
story of Joan virtually intact. Joan
is merely shorn of the superstitions
woven around her legend. Her be-
havior is rationahzed, and she
stands before us, the unripe girl,
obedient to her conscience, courage
ously defying Church and State in
her resplendent faith.
The eternal price of heresy is the
recurrent theme. Last century's
iconoclasm becomes the sanctified re-
spectability Of today. And when, in
the epilogue Joan reappears before
her inquisitors, who are now her
humble worshippers, we are made to
realize that they would avidly burn
her again at the stake, were she to
return in the flesh. We are re-
minded that, because men possess so
little imagination, a new saint must
be crucifed for each generation.
Only the shabby English soldier,
a reincarnated Henry Dubb, reveals
something akin to genuine UNDER
standing of Joan's spirit-and he,
of course, is merely on furlough
from hell.

BIRTH CONTROL
CLINIC OPENS
IN Ger NJ ANY
Information Given Free
to Workers
BY LOUIS p. LOCHNER.

NStan Correspondent Of The Federated Presal
BERLIN, March 3.-The state of
Prussia has received an unusual gift
IN the form of an institute for sex
science (sexualwissenschaft). 1t is
to be known as the Magnus Harsch,
field Foundation for Sex Science and
IS given by DR.. Hirschfeld.
One of the important departments
OF this institute, thru which press
representatives were taken by the
founder, is that in which free advice
on sex matters is given to married
people. This department is consult
ed most by men and women of the
working classes, who for economic
and other reasons are worried over
the prospect of additional offspring.
Birth control information, otherwise
usually available only to the rich,
thus becomes available to the
workers.
The subject of eugenics also comes
in for attention at these consulta-
tions, and couples with bad family
histories, which make it more than
likely that their offspring will be de-
fective or degenerate, are given the
necessary information for preventing
conception.
The institute also treats sadism,
homo-sexuality, perversion and the
like, and tries to find the remedy
rather than merely condemning such
unfortunates to social ostracism. A
special research department is in
touch with the physicians of prisons
and houses of correction and is. gath
ering valuable material for showing
the connection between sex and
crime. In the institute is a museum
showing specimens of every type of
sexual disease and irregularity.
Representatives of the various de-
partments of the federal government
as well as city and state authorities
were present at the exercises mark
ing the transfer Of the foundation to
the state. 1t was pointed out in the
formal addresses that there is only
one other city on the European con-
tinent that has a similar institute,
Vienna.
There is no official center in the
United States for dissemination of
sex science but the American Birth

TACOMA, WASH, Mar. 3.-Three
Fingered Jack Goodwin, an evangelist
who specializes in converting radicals
to the true faith. will confne his re-
ligious attentions exclusively to poll
teal prisoners for some time to come.
Jack has been found guilty by a
jury of a sex offense against a little
girl. When arrested in California at
the request of the Tacoma police he
received much space in the daily press
for his claim that he was being
framed up by the radicals because Of
his effective work against bolshevism.
His claims were not presented at the
trial to counterfeit the evidence Of
statutory crime on which he was con-
victed.

More Wind and Less
Strings Is Alfred
FrankenStein'S Motto
Bx ALFRED V. FRANKENsTEIN.

By ALFRED v. FRANKENSTEIN.
Harvey Noack, first flute player in
the Civic orchestra, was soloist with
the Chicago Symphony orchestra at
the popular concert on Feb. 20, at
Orchestra Hall. This is the first time
in a number of years that soloist
on wind instrument has played with
the orchestra. The only other occa-
sion in the memory Of this writer was
when Alfred Barthel, now first oboe
in the symphony, played concerto.
1t is interesting to reflect for a
moment on why our solo perform
ances should be limited to string in
struments, voice., and piano. 1t is
not because there is no literature.
Nor is it because there is no public
interest, since wind solists have
thrived in the past and there is no
indication that they would get no
support in the present. And only
the musical jackasses declare that the
stringed instruments possess some
mysterious artistic quality that the
wind instruments lack.
The most potent reason is that the
music schools and societies that en-
courage musical endeavor take no
cognizance of anything but singers,
pianists, and violinists. Nowhere in
this country is scholarship offered
in wind instruments, and only one
organization of musicians has offered
anything in the way of encourage
ment to wind players.
The Society of American Musi-
clans, a Chicago organization, for
the last three years has put on con-
test for young American musicians.
Last year the contest was opened to
fiutists. Next year it will be open for
not only singers, pianists, violinists,
cellists and fiutists, but players of
the clarinet, oboe and bassoon will be
admitted also. We hope that next
year the trumpet, French horn and
trombone will be included as we'll
And more fervently we hope that
other societies will follow the lead
Of the Society Of American Musi-
clans.
The depression is long but worthy.
Noack, winner in the contest spoken
Of above, earned in this way his ap-
pearance with the Symphony or
chestra.
]. Henry Walton, tenor, winner in
the voice section of the same con-
test. sang an aria from Coleridge-
Taylor's "Hiawatha" most beauti-
fully.
Other numbers on the program
were Karl Goldmark's delightful
Rustic Wedding" symphony. an
overture by Smetana. a dance by
George Schumann, and the selections
from the Berlioz Faust that were
played on the regular Symphony pro-
gram last week.
For the next popular concert, to be
played at Orchestra Hall on March
lis, Olga Either, violinist. who came
out on top in the contest that
brought Welton and Noack also to
the orchestra as soloists, will play
the first Bruch concerto, and the o.

Looks Rather Thin
to Luigi ScOpdn0
By STANLEY BOONE.


lctAu Correspondent OF Inc feuernteu ffetBl
DETROIT, March 3.-If there is
anything more important in Detroit
than human life, or the much-herald-
ed right to work, or the seldom-men-
toned right to have suitable food. it
is the naturalization law.
With Luigi Scopana, "a years old,
the fright to work" had little to do.
With him it was the necessity to
work. He needed job, didn't have
one and couldn't get one. There were
jobs at the Ford Motor Co. But he
had been discharged from there pre-
viously.
He erased his own name on his
naturalization papers and wrote in
the name Angelo Ferrari. But he
made the alteration IN pencil and the
tampering was detected by the en-
ployment agent at the Ford Motor
Co.
Much propaganda has been written
Of Ford sociology, Of the benevolent
despotism Of that employer Of
100000.
What the Ford Motor Co. employ
ment Office did, however, in the case
of Scopana, was turn him over to
immigration officials. What immigra-
ton officials did was turn him over
TO Judge Charles G. Simons in the
United States district court.
Judge Simons sentenced him to 30
days in the Detroit house Of correc-
ton for violating the naturalization

NEW YORK, March 3.-The av-
erage hourly pay of workers In Zoo
manufacturing plants in the United
States during December, 1923, was
$50 cents, according to the report
of the National Industrial Confer
ence board. This compares with av-
erage hourly earnings Of Sol cents
in November.
Part-time work in a number Of in
dustries was reflected in the fact that
these workers averaged only Ala
hours a week in December as COM
pared with an average OF more than
40 hours in December, 1922.

st. Louis Enjoying
Little Private Graft
Scandal of Its OlUn
By MARTIN A. DILLMON

sStaR Correspondent Of v.he FEDERATED PreIUl
ST. LOUIS, March Am invek-
tlgation of tax books here has re-
vealed frauds by which the CITY Of
st. Louis has been swindled of $685.
78l by erasures and alterations of
real estate tax records during the
last five years. Tax payers favored
by the doctored records are high in
the councils of st. Louis politics and
big business. Those who profted by
the frauds will be called upon to
pay up, according to city officials.
William P. Etling, former chief
deputy assessor, and William P. eau
held, Jr., former clerk in Filings
office, have been indicted on charges
of bribery and alteration of public
records. One beneficiary of the tax
reductions testified he bribed Etling.
Etling was thereupon removed from
office.
Fears are expressed that the
strangle hold of the republican DO
litical bosses on st. Louis city af-
fairs may be broken in the approach
ing campaign as a result of the
wholesale frauds at the city hall.
During 1923 Mayor Kiel and his
board of estimates and apportion-
ment kicked aside several requests
from city employees for better pay
on the allegation that the city was
broke and could not stand improved
wage standards. The board of alder
men recently passed bill providing
for a fiat increase Of $50 month
to city firemen, this being one de-
velopment in two-year fight of the
union firemen for better wages. But
that ordinance must yet survive

tionment board.
