SOLID SOUTH
SAFE FOR AL,
SAY LEADERS
Democrats Hungry for Vic
tory Worrying Only
About North.
BY RAY TUCKER

ATLANTA, Ga, July 3.-The solid
South, With its ia electoral votes,
is safe for AL Smith.
This message was given to friends
of the Democratic nominee today
as they trickled through the south
land on their way home from Hous-
ton.
Southern leaders scoffed at sug-
gestions that prejudice against
Smiths wet views, religion and pc
litical affiliations might ALLEVIATE
some one of the States down here.
What About the North?
The only question among the
southerners, apparently, was
whether or not Smith would sweep
the North likewise.
They are hungry for victory and
restored prestige.
Smith" said James M. Thomp-
son of New orleans, "offers the best
chance for Democratic victory since
Woodrow Wilson"
Thompson-and his wife, former
GeneVleVe Clark-Supported Jim
Reed at Houston, but he said he
would take off his coat and work
for Smith.
Senator Pat HARRISON of Missis-
sippi said Smiths majorities in the
southern States would be the nor
NAL Democratic majorities.
Don't worry about U.S." he told
Senator Wagner of New York.
Predict United Front
Georgia leaders, returning home
today, told the same story. Differ
ences in their ranks would be ad-
justed, they said, and a united front
presented to the enemy.
Josephus Daniels, while deprecat-
ing Smiths moist message to the
convention, indicated disbelief in
the idea that it might hurt the
candidates chances in the Caro-
linaS.
Senator Glass, author of the pro-
hibition plank, said Virginia would
STAY in line.

it is human theater, regardless of
what the highbrows ana the near
highbrows have argued for years.
Some people boast that they will
go to their grave never see.ny Able.
l for one have seen it fourteen
times. This play is a typical racial
cast show. 1t is difficult to cast for
stock, especially where there are no
Hebrew actors. "Abie's Irish Rose"
to be successfully presented must
have those basic racial qualities
which bring the tear as we'll as the
laugh. Able" is not burleSque. It
is comedy. There is sincere heart
tone to Able" I figure that the
role of Solomon Levy is the most
difficult to cast in stock and Milton
Byron last night proved my con-
tention. Bryon made an honest eff
fort not to burlesque Solomon, but
it was difficult to keep away from it.
Solomon is a big heart character.
He has strong prejudices and he is
honest in them. Byron overacts the
role, but believe that most actors
in stock organizations would do the
same thing. I do not blame Mr..
Byron. He should never have had
the role. Solomon is not burlesque,
but real character study.
And yet in this play, there is
comedy and even a burlesque char
acter, that Isaac Cohen who is at
tached to Mrs. Isaac Cohen, his
wife. Mrs. Cohen is always talking
about her operation. 1t is to be
said that william Worswick as Co.
hen is giving the best characterize
ton in this production. Here is an
overacting comedy role with
strong touch of burlesque and Wors-
wick is certainly giving it these
qualities in good measure. His
makeup is such that he gets an
ovation the second he shows his
face.
Nice straight legitimate perfor-
mances are given by Edythe Elliott
as Rosemary and by Robert st.
Clair as Abraham Levy. st. Clair
does not attempt dialect and he is
right in that. He dresses the char

So, Miss Adels accompiishes two
things in this show (aS judged by
last night)-by being not SO good

two.
There are numerous people in the

last act. 1 can not excuse such
things in the Stuart Walker Com
