us SERENE EM1NENCE WILL
H. HAYS, car of all the cine
mas, has been particularly vocal
Il 4 of late. He has been sounding
notes of optimism and issuing
threats for release Monday. His emerg-
ence is due to two causes. One OF them
Is the desire to cooperate in the resto-
ration of prosperity, and the other Is
the determination to silence all the up
roar about screen censorship, which Is
becoming unduly vociferous.
Concerning prosperity, Gar Hays
wishes it to be known that the fllm in
duStry is doing its bit. In speech
over the radio he said:
1.-THE motion picture carries to every
American home and to millions Of po-
tential purchasers abroad the visual,
vivid perception of American manufac-
tured products. Our standards Of iv-
ing are steadily on the upward trend.
We appreciate more the good things OF
life. We want more, we work for more,
and we buy more, and to all this in
creasing spiral of demand motion pic
lures contribute more every day."
This is not bunk-even though 1t was
offered in a bunkful spirit. Indeed, there
is far more truth in this utterance than
the car himself would care to admit.
The motion pictures are advertising
American-made goods. They are Gre
attng an inestimable demand for these
goods at home and abroad. But the
question may well be raised, Is this
demand limited to such simple, whole
some luxuries as electric ice boxes, jade
swimming pools, Queen Anne radio
cabinets, 16-cylinder automobiles? Isn't
there the possibility that motion pic
lures are also proclain1ing the desira-
bility Of such essentially American prod
uctS as gatS, pineapples (Chicagoan,
not Hawaiian), synthetic gin and equal
ly synthetic sex consciousness?
WHILE viewing showings Of American
Aims in foreign countries it has
been my observation that the great
popularity Of these films is attributable
to the fascinating gospel that they
preacf-the 100 per cent American gos-
pei of "easy money"
Rare indeed is the American film
which does not start with poverty and
end with fabulous wealth. It is not
enough that at the finish the lovers
shall be joined: they must also be en-
dowed How does wealth come to them?
Through lifetime of serious strenuous
endeaVor? Obviously not. One can't
crowd q lifetime into six reels.
Wealth and the nationally advertised
luxuries that 60 with it must be
achieved on the screen suddenly, for
tuitously. There is no time to wait for
the rewards of long and faithful labor.
Usually, when such rewards come in
real life, their recipients are middle
aged and no longer romantic.

Drama Quits Road for Local
HabitatiOn.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The second week Of the Nationa,
Theater Players was distinguished
by a hearty and kindly determine
ton to efface some of the severe
recollection which distinguishes
the record of the dying road sea-
son year. Brothers" departs from
pure sunshine comedy and dem
onStrateS sufficient versatility to
offer melodrama as an incident
of It's varied program for the local
season. The company goes even
so far as to assemble enough per-
sonnel for rendering a mob scene
suggestive of the underworld
revelations so effective in "Vaga-
bond King" and barking back
beyond many noteworthy ex-
amples, even to Hall Gaines
"The Christian" which, originally
produced at this same National
Theater with more abiding faith
and dauntless courage than
financial backing, established the
career of George G. Tyler in
immediate triumph.
The producing firm which Tyler
30 long piloted was known as
Liebler & Co. and, contrary to the
usual history of the relationships
of producers in large type and
managers in modest nonpareil,
Tyler always remained the domi-
nant influence. His name was in
variably mentioned as carrying
real authority. His liking for old
drama has never left him, even
though his first success was one
with material then unknown in
the theater. According to his
long-established custom, he makes
a tour of the country in a dra-
matte classic, "The Rivals" with
a playing company Of particular
distinction.
The mob scene in Brothers
showing the aSSemblage in an
underworld resort, recalls the
most striking scene in that
peculiar agglomeration Of cpl
sodes entitled Experience" re-
ferred to by the late Charles
Frohman as the most elaborate
example OF mixed metaphor that
had ever come under his obServa-
ton. It represented young poet
and musician willing to degrade
his art for the sake of SuStenance
but rendered an outcast by his
turbulent audience resentful o1
instructive refinement from even
so pitiable a market for his wares
* y r
The security with which the
National Stock Company'S per-
formance of Brothers" met
rather severe test (thanks in large
measure to the playing OF Walter
Gilbert, who undertakes the very
difficult task of a dual role) in
spires confidence in announce
ments for the future, which in
clude even so eXacting drama a;

i. remarkable how often a role with
Evening star., 1930-04-13

which some distinguished player
has been identified is taken salts
factorily by some actor hitherto
unknown in the part, and much
expression of interest through the
mails clearly proves a popular
confidence that successor in the
imperSonation of the picturesque
ly truculent Col. Bridau may be
found even for no less a star than
Otis Skinner.
Fl Il \
The road season was brought to
a close, save for an occasional
one-night production like that of
"The Rivals" or an occasional
interjection of music, sublime
or frivolous, by that most re-
markable play, Journeys End"
It is a concentration of the spirit
Of hard, remorseless thinking
that has distinguished the 1929
80 theater; the abandonment of
usual form and customary striv-
ing for superficial literary grace
that was first established in DOM
inant influence by the Strange
Interlude." Audiences have
learned to set their faces against
the storm that new ideas bring
into the economic skies, and the
mechaniStic drama tells a story
with cruel precision that makes
it almost scientific commentary
rather than fulf1llment Of the
vain protest of practical man
ayers that the theater was in
tended never to instruct but only
to amuSe.
The theater has become careful
in the discussion Of political
themes and it is doubtful that
even such a play as "The Almighty
Dollar" in which the Hon. Bard
well Sloat depicted the man of
great worldly success, warm
hearted but uncultured, would be
tolerated at the present time.
Satire pertaining to current
events or personalities is not ven-
tured upon. The stage reserves
to itself the privilege of being the
embodiment of the political spirit
which may offend good taste and
an individual sense Of idealism
rather than risk appearance of
contradicting the interests of any
man or enterprise even by the
remotest innuendo. Regard for
finer sense as it was manifested in
days of ancestral courtesy is
abruptly abandoned in such a
play, for instance, as "The Front
Page" revealing the worst posi-
bilities of sensational slummery In
such deliberate debasement OF
humanity that what seemed
specifically utter vulgarity be-
came when analyzed from a philo-
sophie viewpoint invested with
crude but intense pathoS.

.FR|SCH STRESSES
CARDS. GAMENESS
Team at Best When Coming
From Behind-Did Well
Against Grove.
BY FRANKIE FRISCH.


ut. LOUIS, october 4-One of the
Cardinals strong points during
the regular season was their abil-
ity to come from behind. In fact,
during the late drive to the pennant, the
team played better base ball when 1t
had to oyertake the other fellow than
when it held a lead. Now, similar
condition prevails and believe we will
make an uphill fight to the world cham
pionsfip.
1t is true that few teams have won
the championship after losing the flrst
two games of the series, but we were
compelled to overcome greater odds to
win the National League pennant They
had US counted out of the league run
ming When we were IL games from first
place on August 9-but we came
through.
We're simply a. little bit slow getting
started. However, we'll get going. Nat
urally, we feel hurt over our failure to
win at least one of the two games in
Philadelphia, but we're not down. We're
rarin' now for revenge.
Combine Essentials.
There are two principal factors in a
ball game. pitching and hitting, and
usually, IN a series of this caliber, a
team must get good pitching and hit
ting simultaneously to win. So far, the
Athletics have combined these two es-
sentials in each game, although they
required the breaks TO help them
through the opener.
We hit Grove hard in that game. and
if couple of our hardest hit balls had
landed on safe turf, we probably would
have won. We looked good against
Grove, even Though defeated.
In the second game I'll admit we were
not ourselves. We were far from the
Cardinal team which made that sensa-
tional drive Gown the National League
stretch.

and Giants. But Cubs. Dodgers and
Giants are not the Athletics. Not quite.
They had no two pitchers as effective
as Macks two stars, and they had no
supply of dynamite to match the massed
punch department of the Mackmen.
Collins, Baker and McInnis were
rated as dangerous trio 20 years ago,
but they were never quite up to the
present trio that has already contrib
uted a flock of home runs, triples and
doubles in the first two games. There
are more than a few who believe the
series will end in five games. 1 figure
the Cardinals strong enough at home
to take two out of three and carry
the war back East again, but even in
this case they will be up against a
morbid assignment. that of beating the
Athletics two games at Shibe Park.
The Cardinals are in sad need OF a
psychological change. They looked de-
pressed and futile Thursday when
Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx began
taking aim for the second time at the
right field wall.
They looked as if they were up
against some fate beyond their con-
troll. But there is something at least
in the fact that they have proved their
ability to come from behind before.

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

the first inning of the second
game when he raised a soft
fly to Haas. At that time Frisch
was cavorting around the key
stone sack by reason of a dou-
BILE he had walloped off Earn
shaw, and Jim's death was the
third of the frame.
ROTTOMLEY was victimized
- on strikes twice, one of
these whiffs coming in the
third inning of the second
game with Frisch awaiting
Succor at the hot station, and it
followed a respite Jim had re-
ceived when Dykes slipped and
fell in attempting to snare his
easy foul.
And Bottomley had two other
opportunities to do something
concrete for the Cardinal
cause with his bat. In the third
inning of the initial combat,
for instance, he came up with
his side in possession of a pair
of tallieS just cleaned against
Grove on four safetieS and a
pair of sacrifices. Two of his
gang were champing on the
bit, so to speak, when Bottom
ley raised a little fly to FoXx.
And again in the fifth, fol-
lowing Frisch's ringing double,
the st. Louis first baseman
again faced a golden opportu-
nifty, and again was retired by
his rival initial sack guardian,
this time on a puny roller.
THERE may be different

COLLINS CREDITS
MACK HOW|TzERS
Cochrane, SimomnS and Foxx
Have Given Team Its
Principal Punch.
BY EDDIE COLLINS.
Captain of the Athletics.

ut. LOUIS, october 4.--During a
~ day of rest travelling to this city
for the third game of the world
series an opportunity was afford
ed for a short resume of the games
played so far.
In nutshell, the reason we have two
victories to our credit is because the
three main guns in our offensive,
Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx. have
doomed most effectively, whereas the
big berthas of the Cardinals, Frisch,
Bottomley and Hafey, have been
silenced.
1t is true Frisch, st. Louis second
baseman, Is just as dangerous hitter
as any of our boys. However, the COM
bined power and execution of the Ath-
letics' trio overshadows that Of our
rivals.
From a defensive angle, our two best
pitchers, Grove and EarnShaw, have
been masters of every situation. Grimes
and Rhem, the st. Louis starting pitch
ers, have not. That's the answer to the
whole thing.
Grimes Pitched Well.
Although we beat Grimes, think. he
pitched a very creditable game, more so
than the So score would indicate.
Grimes must realize this, too, judging
from a remark he made to friend of
mine the night after the first game.
IT pitched to couple of those birds
just as we had them figured" he said.
And then they hit everything safely.
What can a fellow do?"
have often heard Connie Mack say:
IF you've got the other fellow worried
the battle is half won" Ty Cobb has
always been my ideal ball player, the
best I ever saw or hope to see, and so
per cent of his offensive ability was the
threat he was to the defending team,
the anxiety he caused opposing pitchers
and f1elders, who had always to wonder
just what he would do next.
If we were in the Cards shoes with
two defeats staring us in the face and
our two best pitchers beaten know
we would be worried. We would be half
sick and then some

THE SPORTLICHT
by CRANTLAND RICE

ut LOUIS, Mo, October 4.-The
faint, lingering hope of the Cardi-
= nails as they start their home
stand of three games is the
belief that the terrific tide beating
against the National League since 1926
can't last forever. Here is a rival
major league with about the same talent
and it has won exactly l ball game
in the last Is starts through 1927, 1928,
1929 and 1880.
Cardinal supporters figure that
hostile surf of this destructive force
is sure to rebound and start moving
in the other direction with the same
heavy sweep. The law of average is
due to swing about, but there are oc-
casions when the law of average takes
its cock-eyed time before permitting
the underdog to get back on his feet.
Only one team in the long history OF
the world series has dropped the first
two games and then came back to win.
That was the Giants in 1921. So Old
Man Percentage is running against the
Cardinals on all eight cylinders, and it
will take something Of a miracle to
beat this Athletic team four out OF
FIVE
The Cardinals proved their ability
and their gameness in facing 10
