ULYSSES RETURN
 BASIS OF COMEDY
Homer'S Hero Chief Character in
 "The AdVenturer"
tBy Herald RcyieTer1 Cast of Character.

Zoe .........,,...,... Jane Corcorau
 If MT. Homer, the eminent war correspondent, historian and biogra- phcr could have dropped in at Par sons theater, Hartford, last evening he would not have recognized his Ulysses, his Penelope and the rest of the family. True, they were at tired according to the book but their language was of modern vin- occasion and the surprise of the audience. These characters from dim history appeared in The Ad- vonturer," q satirical comedy by Raifaele Calzini with the English version by Brian MarloW.
 Heading the cast was Lionel At- will, as Ulysses with the support being provided by Hllda Spong as Penelope, Jane Chapin as Astoria and Ernest Cossart as ITO. The story Of the play deals with the re- turn of Ulysses to hlS homo on the island Of Ithaca after twenty years Of wandering. The Trojan war had been ended ten years previously Ulysses discovered that the people who, at his departure, had been warllkc and ever ready to spring to arms in defense Of an ideal. had degencrated into pleasure-loving lounge lizards. and he was thor oughly disgusted. Even the chaste Penelope who. according to the tradition abroad in the then-known world was patiently awaiting the return Of her hero, ropelcd him. His bow had been placed in the woodshed. The land was turned over to commercialism. Exporta- ton of olive oil was an ohsession. His queen quoted statistics on pros pcrity like a Chamber of Commerce. secretary. IL was not to his liking and he turned to little Astoria, who. If devoid Of morals, was at least frank about it.
 ""rhe Advcnturer" is not a com edy that would appeal to the gall lery; it is for the classes not the masses. Some familiarity with Homer's story is necessary to a complete enjoyment of the play.
 Mir. Atwill gave a splendid de- lineation Of Ulysses. Miss Spong was striilingly fine as Penelope. Miss Chapin made a fascinating Astoria and her acting was followed with the closest Of attention. MT. Cos sart as 1ro, whose chief thought was When do we cat?" and whose lines were intcrlarded with modern idioms, provided q great deal of the comedy. Harold Wald- rige likewise deserves credit for his Of Telomachus.
 The Advcnturer' will be rcpeat- ed tonight and tomorrow night and at a matinee tomorrow.

Looking Forward

SCIENCE! What word to conjure with It
has come to have sort of hallowed meaning like
HOLY GHOST of old. What SCIENCE has done
will do can do and may do is being awefully con-
Jectured about in much the same way as the won
der workings of HIM were piously broadcast in
the age of needle-dancing angels
The gamut of miraculous power with which this
new shibboleth is clothed runs from the complete
blottlng-out of the race to a mechanical paradise
for billions of synthetic super-humans 1t extends
from the gushing imagination of H. G. Wells to
the dark forebodings of a genuine thinker like
Bertrand Russell. In between, you find thousands
OF Sunday supplement blurbers, "scientific' maya
zine hacks and news-gap shoppers hailing the dav
when you can fly to work in an air lzzy and carry
your lunch IN capsule
But what they all forget because thew don't
know any better choose to forget because thew
do know better is that science has not vet become
divorced from society Their efforts to make their
haloed men of science into clustered wizards work
ing miracles with test-tubes, radio-activty and
ductless glands quite uninfluenced by social con-
ditions and historical processes hanks back to the
day OF the ALMIGHTY who likewise much too
important to be touched by such inconsequential
things.
But this making religion of science may not
be as silly as it sounds. Mightnt there be sort
OF purpose behind it? The old time religion is
going to the bow-wows. The immaculate concep-

In the meantime, you are, of course turning nuts
and bolts for Mr.. Ford who is now starting his
second billion.
In the other direction there are some otherwise
levelheaded thinkers of great cerebral repute like
Prof Haldane who have already begun bleating
about SCIENCE getting so far ahead of mere man
that humanity is certain to commit hari-kari with
the tremendous power that will be at it's disposal
This is simply the reverse of the medal which on
the other side shows heavenly picture of radio
activized sweetness and monkey-glandular light
And rests on the msconception of what real
science is all about
For all the tremendous advances in knowledge
and scientific achievement showing on the credit
side of the ledger in the last half century wage
slaves still lurch to the job on traction magnates
run down. understanding flat-wheelers; YOU still
go hungry if you can't get boss to do you the
favor of letting him exploit you; when you go to
war; you get murdered much more cunningly and
IN far greater numbers, but you still get muir
dered: your expoiters are able to enioy their profits
IN much more intensive and pleasurabe way than
they used to but they still parasites innovation
follows innovation, discovery becomes commonplace
but there is still as little anxiety to discover way
to eliminate the profit system as there ever was
in a word, the class-war is still on
So that if worker can withstand the barrage
OF dream inspiring, wonder-science sermonizinp
long enough to take quick look about him he will
discover that he is still very much of wage slave
and that science like everything else is the prom
erty of the capitalists. The URGE behind this
feverish scramble of invention and discovery is
primarily PROFIT. Some of the most remarkable
scientific achievements, in themselves, of course
all to the good, have been made in the laboratories
OF the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. and
Westinghouse. The radio has already become a
mint-ike monopoly for comparatively few profit
rakers. Television awaits the same fate The de-
velopment of aviation means the development of
new source of income Scientists are by no
means gods demi-gods
They are part of the system No fear of them
getting too far ahead. They will be held in check
If they show disposition to get too cantankerous
Their genius will continue to be diverted into chan
neis that will show ways of making profits or
create new machines for the subsection of reyo-
lutionary Chinese, Indians and WORKERS.
What solid scientific progress is being made
under capitalism will not be lost to the world It's
accumulation of mechanical and chemical creations
will be much deserved bequest to an order in
which science will not be hamsrung by social divi-
sion and private gain Let the scientific revvalists
