Man Who ''Never Died"

EnOch, the father of Methuselah,
never saw death, according to Heb.
Is. "By faith," the passage says,
"Enoch was translated that he
should not see death; and he was
not found, because God translated
him: for before his translation he
had this testimony, that he pleased
God" This passage is the basis
for the popular but misleading state
ment that Methuselah, the oldest
man mentioned in the Bible, died
before his father did. Gen. 5:25
simply says: sand Enoch walked
with God; and he was not for God
took him."

AUTHORITIES HEARD
BY DRAMA GUILD
Hutchins Speaks on Acting,
AdeIman on Salvini and
Booth.

Two well known dramatic authorities
addressed the Community Drama Guild
last night at Mckinley High School as
guest speakers on the program of the
guilds annual conference.
viii Hutchins, head Of the depart
ment of fine arts and professor of
dramatic art at American University
treated of Modern Shakespearean Act
Ing" and Joseph Adelman, dean of the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts
spoke on 1.-TWO Great Shakespearean
Actors-Salvini and Booth" Both lee
turers have had a long experience in
acting and teaching Shakespeare.
Mr. Hutchins enumerated two essen
tials to making Shakespeare live" The
first consisted Of learning to read
Shakespearean verse as a fine art, the
second of throwing away most Of the
prompt books and the accumulated &C
erection of tradition and getting back to
the substance and meaning Of Shake
Speare himself.
Good Reading Lost Art"
"Great reading is one of the fine arts;
it is unfortunately becoming one of the
lost arts" Mr.. Hutchins told the guild
The theory that good reading was SIM
ply a matter OF elocution was incorrect,
he said, noting that much that was for
merly gained under the old systems of
teaching classic reading was being lost
in some forms Of education today.
Shakespeare, Mr.. Hutchins said, could
only be effectively played with a deep
sense of the rhythm and poetry that
were in the lines. An intelligent, dis
ciplined poetic treatment of the sheer
rich substance in the bard's plays would
make him popular at any time, he con-
tinued, adding one cannot put q musical
comedy director in charge of Shake
Spearean production (aS has actually
been done) and expect to get anything
more out of it than by putting jazz
composer in charge of q symphony or
chestra. Sympathetic and intelligent
direction could produce good Shake
Speare play even with a troupe of "coun-
try pumpkins" he said
The acting Of ShakeSpearean plays
the speaker declared. was q matter of
using your God-given equipment in a
graceful and telling manner" Shake
speare wrote his plays to be acted: they
we're q reflection of q definite period
and definite stage, and they must be
played as he wrote them. Modern stage
business" was not to be found In
Shakespeare'S plays; what action there
was consisted in small gestures, such
as reading q letter or handing some
thing to some one, or an occasional
duel. The rest was poetry and grace
and intelligent projection OF the con-
tent Of the work itself, Mr.. Hutchins
concluded.
In introducing Mr. Adelman, Mrs.
Marie Moore Forrest CHARACTERIZED him

as lone OF the most valuable men in
the United States in dramatic work"
He has been for many years one Of the
leading directors in New York, she said.
Opening his remarks with the OBJ
servation that he considered the pres
ent decline" of Shakespeare purely
temporary, Mr.. Adelman noted that
there had been period when Shake
speare was unused for q century, but
that his works had won popularity
again as they always must. All arts
have periods of decline. he declared,
but the good In art is timeless.
"reminiscences Of Tomaso Salvini and
Edwin Booth occupied the major por-
ton of Mr.. Adelman's succeeding words.
Such acting as theirs. he said, was
unfortunately lost with their death and

though the matter is probably directly
up to the President.
DIR. Julius Klein, chief of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is

POCKET VETO RIGHT
At STAKE IN COURT
Supreme Bench Remains in
Session to Hear Argu-
ments on Status.
BY the Associated Press.


The Supreme Court remained in SEES
sion today after delivering opinions.
especially to hear arguments in the
pocket veto case. on which it is called
for the first time in history to reach a
decision.
The court will decide the validity of
pocket vetoes as applied by the Presi-
dent at the close of any session of Con-
gress except the final adjournment
every two years. For many years it
has been the practice of the President
to kill legislation Objectionable to him
which reached him less than 10 days
before the adjournment of the session
by taking no action upon it, a practice
generally referred to as a pocket veto.
The fate of the Muscle Shoals bill,
which was pocket vetoed at the close
of the first session of the last Con-
gress, and of 1l9 other measures pocket
vetoed from the beginning of the prac-
tice were at issue, including the case
of the Okanagan and other Indian
tribes in Washington, which was used
to test the practice.
Counsel for the Indians asserted that
when the President failed to sign the
bill passed in the closing days of the
first session of the Sixty-ninth Con-
sAcoo auliol inLHB TIE INDIANS 10 sue the
Government in the Court of Claims over
land alleged to have been taken from
them without compensation, it became
law without his signature.
Representative Summers of Texas.
ranking Democrat on the House Judi
ciary committee, was permitted by the
court to file brief and participate in
the oral argument in support of the
stand taken by that committee against
the validity of pocket vetoes.
Attorney General Mitchell filed a
brief urging the court to sustain the
construction given by various admins
trations and contended that should
pocket vetoes be declared invalid chaotic
conditions would follow.
