EARLE-"Saturday's Children"
It seems unfortunate that such a
splendid play as Maxwell Anderson's
Saturdays Children" should have re-
ceived such an apparently hurried $3.50
| movie talkie version as that which is
current at the Earle. AS it now appears
| the original play forms only about one
half of the picture with the rest
scenarioized in the typical fashion, with
! the result that some of the affective
ness is lost in the transition. Unfor-
tunately, too. for reasons which may be
! attributed to the censorship of the
American cinema. one of the most dra-
matte elements OF the play are missing.

up his assured position in a country
where nobility counted for everything,
to go into strange land and take part
in a revolt against the very social or
der to which he himself belonged.
The story of his association with
Washington is a particularly appeal
ing one. There are a number of cele-
brated friendships in history in which
both friends have mutually shown both
constancy, tenderness and loyalty amt
sympathetic appreciation. But there
is none which | have read of which

SO although Lafayette failed to rise

Reign of Terror, this new biography
reveals him as the great gentleman

came back to this country for his
famous visit. And as Americans cele-
