JOSEPH WAGSTAFF and LOLA LANE
III Lets 90 P/6ceS~ Fox
Classics Continue as a
Theater Force.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Thanks to the Theater Guild and
its judicious librarians, and thanks
also to the late William Shakes
peare, whose plays established a
pattern in English drama which
permits an actor latitude beyond
the strictly Shakespeare produc-
tionS, the season in Washington
has managed to step confidently
on toward the annual event rep
resented by that once humble en-
terpriSe, the stock company.
Having played both sides of the
Avenue, the classic drama sought
a refuge in the halls Of the Audi
forum, which have not echoed to
the robust defamation of blank
verse since the late Robert Man
tell varied his scale of prices in
difference to the tradition that
Shakespeare was a playwright for
the people, and not necessarily a
box-off1ce aristocrat.
In order to be a ShakeSpearean
actor, it is not positively necessary
to play Shakespeare. The two
plays which occupied the Down
ing week were Damon and Pyth-
ias" and "Ingomar," the first
written by John Banim in the
early years of the previous CEN
fury and the other adapted from
the German by most talented
woman, Marie Lowell. "Ingomar"
is one of the few cases in which
translation is regarded as prov
ing in some respects even better
than the original. Miss Lowell
made some of the lines ring so
true in our own language that
they are still quoted. Parthenia's
definition of love as 1.-TWO souls
with but single thought; two
hearts that beat as one" is still
quoted in moments of old-fash-
toned romance, despite the prob
lens arising from current efforts
to limit the responsibilities of
wedlock almost as carefully as the
responsibilities of a financial cor
poration.
The excursions back into the
realms of early poetic fancy ap-
parently are enjoyed by public
that has studied new world
since the one when conservative
ideas raised hands in holy horror
at what now seem trivialitieS.
Commentators vented the
phrase "fin de steele" in recogni-
ton of what seemed a mad rush
which must land the world in an
other century where life would
seem almost as strange as If it
were encountered on another plan
ct. It is strange to find death
daring devotion so enduring an
element in popular literature as
reflected on the stage. It survives
from the time when standards
were so illiberal that the police
felt called upon to paste adver-
tisements over the pictures of bur-
leSquerS whose costumes appeared
too scant. The police have turned
to more important duties, as they
chase racketeers or check up on
overtime parking.

Mr.. Downing's company in

charming leading woman in Helen

service talents which have not
weathered the seasons which
must pass before a man can look
precisely like what the magma
ton expects Of a Roman senator.

WHITE MANS law
ASKED FOR INDIANS
U. S. Commissioners See
Race Ready to Advance
Beyond Tribal Rules.

~ the Associated Press.
The American Indian has sufficiently
advanced along the road to civilization,
Ia the opinion of the United States
Board of Indian Commissioners, to be
made subject to the white mans law.
1.-THE Indians under Federal super
vision are largely free from the civil
and criminal laws to which their white
neighbors are subject" the board said
In its annual report, recommending that
Congress and the Indian Bureau act
promptly and positively to bring about
maintenance of law and order in every
jurisdiction of the Indian Service"
Further delay adopting firm policy
and in enacting proper legislation to
make every Indian under Federal SUPER
vision amenable to the law of the land
il inexcusable," the report said. AT q
time when the Indians were in a prtm1-
tive state and were much more isolated
than now 1t was perhaps the wise thing
for the Government to permit the tribal
laws and customs to take their own
course.
THE situation now Is radically and
permanently different. Millions Of acres
81 allotted Indian lands have passed to
white ownership. On most reservations
Indians and white are near neighbors."

Promoters Of the spectacle have as

it, included in the preventable

which cause tremendous losses in
the big centers Of population.
Control of Rackets
The Justice Department and
Federal Trade Commission have
this subject under study, although
the control of racketS is more Of
a State and municipal, than a
Federal function. Nevertheless
the Federal Government has GER
tain weapons at its command
with which to combat the gang
sters, including the income tax
law and the features of the anti
trust acts relating to interference
with Interstate Commerce and un-
fair practices.
Within a few months the Cen

suits Of the first census of diStri,
button which is expected to fur
nish important information upon
which the Government may at
tack the problem Of waste. AL
ready the Commerce Department
has gathered a large volume Of
information as to where, when

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The
first stretch of rubber roadway
in America was commissioned at
the opening of the new $500,00O
bridge across the Passaic River,

frequently mentioned as a means
Of eadening the racket of
