GLEAN1NGs & SCREENINGS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

Sheriff, In q recent round OF
New York theater-going I wit
messed q performance at the
Henry Miller Theater.
It Is the most-talked-about
play Of the year, and, with the
possible exception Of Street
Scene,'' New York's biggest
dramatic hit. With only George
Jean Nathan dissenting, the
critical verdict was overwhelm-
inplv favorable. Mr.. Nathan
rises to object to the numerous
"jolly wells" and other purely
British vernacular, and dubs the
fighting men ''pansy" soldiers.
As one whose intimate touch
with the fighting forces was 10
months spent at Camp Meade,
Nd, / would hesitate to say
what strong men would voice or
feel on the edge Of No Mans
Land and in the trenches where
the fighting was thickest. Ger
tainly its language is less vigor-
GUS; it is not oyerstuffed with
profanity nor tinged with Rabe-
laisian or bawdy incident. How
ever, it is English officers who
voice the dialogue and not
rough and ready doughboys
such as Playwrights Anderson
and StalIings limned in "What
Price Glory?" think the
American war play was much
the better drama.
Turning for moment to the
Nathan indictment, he picks out
sentences from the script Of the
three acts to prove his case,
citing in particular such as these
in the role of Lieutenant Os-
borne:
"Good heavens, it must have
given you a turn"
(Looking at photograph Of
hollyhocks) "By jove, it's a
beauty. It is really a
beauty"

rise in so many ways i.

it?"

"It's awfulIy fascinating, dig
ging like that"
AS against Mr.. Nathan is
Alexander Woolcott and others,
including Washington's John ]
Daily, whose contact with cul-
tured English officers during the
war was close enough to insist
that the dialogue sounds au-
thentic indeed. l liked "Jour-
ney's End" but not we'll enough
to say it a greater war play
than the American epic. Stall

washington, March 8.-The Hon.
John Garibaldi Sargent unquestion-
ably has derived ceal OF quiet sat
isfaction over the difficulty Mr..
Hoover had in finding the right kind
of q man to succeed him as attorney
general.
Derned II 1t didn't put kind of
crimp In those critters that have
been allowin' all along that finding
q successor would be just about the
easiest Of all chores and that the old
Department OF Justice would get
along In exactly the same way II he
were to have no successor at all.
Yessir. 1t does kind OF give teller
4 thrill to resume his position as lead
Ing lawyer in Ludlow. Vermont, after
seeing the new president having such
a heck of time filling his boots!
Sargent will be very happy to get
back among his native Green Noun
tains. His yearning for them these
last few years has been just as sin
cere as could be. His announced re-
action to his job here is that it was
great experience-kind of broadens
q feller-and that he enjoyed 1t. But
he is now assuredly the most content
Of the retired cabinet members.
X \ X
In recent times, at least. there has
been no other cabinet member just
like Sargent. He leaves friends here;
not many admirers, 1t Is true, but no
enemies.
His main job. In his mind. was to do
what his friend Calvin wanted him
to do. Inasmuch as Calvin seldom
had any instructions. he did very
little. He will be remembered here
as the cabinet member who never ap-
peared to know what it was all about,
and who. Furthermore. didn't care.
In that respect he left the Justice
department the same Sargent, now
IS years old. These Vermonters get
sot In their ways much younger than
that. And it is somewhat to Sar-
gents credit that he never professed
to know what it was all about when
he didn't. His official conduct seemed
to be keyed along the lines Of pub
lie address in which he once said:
I'm $50 years we have all travelled
far, very far; and il 1t is cxcusable
to make use of the substance of a
somewhat slangy phrase, we do not
yet know just where we arc going. I
say we do not know where we are
going and / say it again. because I
wish you to take note OF the asser-
ton: ask yourselves If you can say to
the contrary. and If you feel sure
about it each tell yourself the
answer"

enough to dissolve the suspicion that

Sargent had written them himself. He
was not averse to specchmaking, but
he appeared to have n perfect horror
OF ever telling neWspapermcn any
thing. That was all right with the
newspapermcn, but the old gentle
man also clamped down mantle OF
secrecy over his entire department.
Often he varied his customary simple
answers OF II don't know" and i
can't discuss that by saying Colonel
Donovan has charge of that but he
wouldn't let Donovan, who was re-
garded as the real attorney general,
open his mouth. And thus the justice
department worked in nearly abso-
lutte secrecy; it seemed as If Sargent
regarded correspondents as more DAM
gerous than the nations criminals.
II is rather quaint fact that Sar-
gent apparently never knew much
more than he told the press. When
senate committee asked him about
the so-called aluminium trust it ap-
peared that he hadn't even heard OF
the inquiry until six or eight months
after taking office, even though the
company had been accused OF anti
trust violations by both his predeces-
sor and the Federal Trade Commits
sion. He learned about 1t first when
some newspapermen happened to ask
him about It,
The other time Sargent came into
the limelght was when he admitted
to senators that he had stopped pro-
Ccedings against Indian Commissioner
Burke at the request Of Secretary OF
Interior Work John Garibaldi was up
in the Green Mountains and couldn't
very we'll investigate. but he promptly
telephoned to Washington the desired
orders.
There is so much size to Sargent
that he was called Jumbo at college.
Strangely enough. he is as impressive
in appearance as anyone in Washing
ton. He was successful lawyer in
Vermont and severe prosecutor OF
law violators while attorney general
Of that state. In Washington he has
consistently turned down requests for
pardons and paroles unless they were
supported by his friend Calvin, as
few were.
When he came here, after Calvin
had appointed him in apparent pique
following the senate's refusal to con-
firm Charles Bcccher Warren for the
attorney generalship, Sargent wore
lemon colored shoes and other strange
apparel and carried wrappcd-up rub
bers, his Bible and an umbrella under
his arm. He goes back to Ludlow
comparatively snappy dresser
But he said then that he felt like
a cat in a strange garnet" and it
seems likely that he never quite got
over the feeling. But he acted ac-
cording to his lights.

Suddenly Faiths bitterly honest
thoughts were cloven sharply by the
sound Of swift feet running across
the little front porch. Cherry! Know
ing that the front door into the liv-
ing room was not locked, Faith
waited for her sister to burst into the
room, bringing storm and strife. shrill
words and tears. Unconsciously. she
squared her shoulders to accept what
