the clear presentation Of an idea or of
a story. But in Berkeley Square" the
author, possibly In moment of rebel
lion against the conf1nements of a
Journalistic world, has cast the idea of
time and sequence to the winds. He
introduces us, in the first act, to scene
in an old mansion in Berkeley Square
on an afternoon in october, 1874. With
startling suddenness the curtain lowers
on this scene. to rise again a few mo-
ments later in the same mansion eX-
actly IA years later. And with an audi
ence just beginning to settle down and
get acquainted with the characters the
curtain lowers and rises back in 1874
again. But so subtle is this constant
jumINng back and forth from one
century to another that it escapes the
danger of confusion and becomes as
clear as glass to those who. sitting in
the theater, join the author and the
actors in their jumps.
Briefly, the story concerns Peter
Standish, a young American, who has
inherited an old mansion in Berkeley
Square. London. So enamored does he
become with the old place, redolent

TO ATTACK FAIRLY

Contending that from time to time
members Of Congress publicly have as

lYient and private citizens, often basing
their accusations and aSsassinations CT
character upon mere hearSay evidence,
the Georgetown Citizens Association,

night went on record deploring such &C
ton on the part of members of Con-
gress and called upon them to exercise
that spirit of fairness and justice. in
speech and debate, that reasonably
might be expected of those in the ex-
allied positions of representatives OF
free people.
In adopting the resolution, the asso-
citation pointed out that oftentimes the
persons assailed by Congress are graVely
injured in the eyes Of their fellow cit

munity of congressional members from
presenting an adequate defense OF their

A resolution favoring the present
method Of selecting the members OF the
Board OF Education. voiced by A. K.
Paris, was unanimously adopted. In
presenting the resolution favoring the
continued selection of the board MEM
berS by the justices OF the Supreme
Court, Mr. Paris denounced resolu-
ton adopted by the South washington
Citizens Association which favored the
bills Of Senator Capper and Represent
alive Zih1man, providing for the cleo:
ton of the members Of the Board OF
Education by popular choice. =.
Mr.. Paris extolled the past efforts OF
the members of the Board OF Education
and concluded by saying that he felt
the Georgetown Citizens Association

AS a result of the resolution, 1t was
determined to send copies of the motion
to Senator Capper, Representative zlnl-

Numerous flashes of genuine and
penetrating wit distinguish Seven

Haggart, which opened at the National

These constitute the saving grace of
rather awkward production, with little

SHUBERT-BELASCO-"Berkeley

There is, after all, something new
under the sun. 1t comes to Washington
in the form of an idea that has been
cleverly made the basis of play at the
Shubert- Belasco The play goes by the
prosaic name of Berkeley Square," but
the name is the only prosaic thing about
it. 1t brings. like the touch of cool

fresh thought by company of actors

pleasant tingle of satisfaction with
those who see 1t.

of a moldy past of long ago, that his
behavior becomes a source of worry to
his friend, the American Ambassador in
London, and his fiancee. Marjorie Frant.
And so bold Is the author who set him
self down to tell this story that Peter
is made to change places with one of
his ancestors, who came to the house
in Berkeley Square from America a
century and a half before. Stepping
back into another century, Peter finds

rebels against doing what his ancestor
did Meeting the past that he loved
from a distance, he suffers the pangs
of disillusionment. And adding to his
predicament, he finds himself defeated
and undone by the greatest bungler
since time began-Love.
This. it is admitted, is a poor and an
altogether inadequate summary Of what
in reality Is very beautiful told story
But the play is one to be seen and not
heard. This much is guaranteed, and
that is that the confusion and per-
plexity, so obvious in an attempt to de-

under observation.
There are beautiful and clever lines
in the play and through them there
run symbolism and a delicate satire
that add exquisite charm. The disil-
lusionment that follows close acquaint-
ance, even with such cherished tradi-
tons as our ancestors, furnishes a
theme that is delicately interviewer with
the more tangible ingredients of an in
teresting and unusual plot.
Adding interest to the presentation
is the use of original furniture of the
Queen Anne period in the sets. The
costumes and. we may be sure. the
mannerisms of the period are faith
fully carried out under expert tutelage
and design. The cast is remarkable for
its general excellence. but the work of
Leslie Howard as Peter StandiSh and
Margalo Gilmore as Helen Pettigrew is
delight and pleasant memory.

reinforced steel construction with
concrete walls and concrete flooring
strengthened with steel netting; and
is so constructed as to minimize the
danger from earthquake shocks. Ford
engineers have been able to benefit
from experiences Of the past in plan
ming the building.
Its location is strategic from n
transportation standpoint, as two
main highways are now under con-
struction to its doors and il il with
in a stones throw Of the Tokyo-Yoko-
hama highway. The west side of the
building opens onto a canal leading
10 Tokyo Bay on which the property
fronts. Two sidnigs afford ample
railway connections.
A large loading platform adjoins
the sidings. equipped with a 3-ton
crane. Model A ears will be driven
onto the platform and then directly
onto flat cars for shipment 10 va

Parts will be trucked to the platform
and loaded by crane. On the west

two 5-ton electric cranes operate
overhead for shifting material.
One interesting installation at the
plant comprises two Wicks-Marine
boilers which are being used for
heating and for the enamel ovens.
They were taken from one Of the 1879
ships salvaged by the Ford company
at the Fordson plant. The assembly
lines run on the east side Of the
building and the body drying ovens
are in the center. Twenty motor
driven conveyors are needed to sup
ply the assembly line and stock.
During each eight-hour day more
than 1000 tenders will be dipped in
the enamel tanks and sent through
the baking ovens.
The executive offices are located
at the southeast corner Of the build
ing. The superintendent's office is
unusually large and is so situated
that it opens into the general office
and commands an open view of the
assembly lines and parts department.
A large conference room is also To-
Gated in this part of the building and
will be used for dealers meetings and
other purposes. The display room il
in the southwest corner Of the
building with windows fronting on
the bay. Behind it is a large garage
for storing company cars and surplus
stocks. At the northeast corner Of
the plant where assembled cars are
driven away is a waiting room for
drivers.
One feature of the structure is the
forethought that was given to the
comfort and welfare Of the workmen.
In the sawtooth faces Of the roof are
AZ runs Of steel windows, each win
dow being > fet high and 1872 feet
long. They are electrically con-
trolled. Similarly in the side walls
are rows Of ventilators which can be
opened or closed BY pressing an cleo
trio switch. Ample light has been
provided through the use of so many
windows.
