THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 193-PAR
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-20

Thousands of motorists have swung to
Oldsmobile this year because of it's splendid
all-round performance. And many of them
have based their final decision on the cars
inherent smoothness-a factor which Is
doubly important because it bears not only
on your own motoring enjoyment but
also on the life and service of the car itself.

Another Italian

On the other hand, Signor
Grand, also a young man, and
an extremely guileful and wise
one in the ways of the world,
telegraplFed the Governor of
Pennsylvania that, without
wishing to interfere in the do
nestle affairs of the State. he
hoped it would be possible to
be lenient to the young Spar
taco. Grand had reason to be
indulgent, to be sure. After
all the uneasiness of the State
Department and all the calva-
cades Of escorting policemen,
the incidents" of his visit had
silnmered down to a few hand
bills at a concert hall and a
few unpleasant cries. He ap-
pealed, in short. for clemency
and pardon for his enemy.
Upright Judge
In between stands Judge
Harry s. McDevitt. Here I
throw out OF the court the &C.
cuSation Of his enemies that he
is always against liberty. the
underdog, labor and radicals.
The important thing is that
Judge McDevitt. the innocent
bystander. the upright and i'm
partial man. acted with 10
times the fury Of the aggressor
and 10 times the panic Of the
victim. The sentence of two
years in prison, the deliberate
infliction of a legal maximum
intended for grave instances of
Indictment to riot, is pure panic
fury. It is unbalanced, the pun
ishment having no proper rela-
ton to the bitterness of the
crime or the suffering Of the
victim. Judge McDevitt is only
another Of the old men who
stayed behind the firing line
and hated the enemy a hun
dred times as intensely land a
thousand times as meanly) as
the soldiers who did the fight

Some Freshness

This has been a pretty bad
year in the theater because the
theater has lacked all convic-.
ton. 1t does not believe itself
necessary; it seems to feel itself
dying. A few stunts occur, gal
vanizing the dying members
into an electric activity without
the strength and assurance Of
normal life. For all that he
uses a plot which the talkies
will snap up. Mr.. s. N. Behr-
man writes for the stage and
needs the stage; so his Brief
Moment" has quality and Miss
Francine Larrimore in it has a
kind of innocent belief in the
stage which makes her per-
Torrance remarkable. Miss Cor
nell, now returned with THE
Barretts of Wimpole Street." be-
gins each play with trepidation
and ends in triumph, out of
the same belief. Alice Brady
and ALA Nazimova move as if
inspired through the O'Neil
trilogy because it is a new
thing in the theater. Good bits
occur in half a dozen other
plays. But the rest of the
shows never had any serious in.

Shaw on the Stage

A casual paragraph in a let
ter of Bernard Shaw's quoted
by Frank Harris in his biogra-
ply tells more about the secret
of the stage than a hundred
essays. II once said to Tree"
writes Shaw, after the death of
Beerbohm Tree, have you no
ticed all through these re.
hearsals that. though you Rnd I
have had 20 years stage expert
ence, and have reached the top
of our profession. you treat me
as an amateur beginner, and I
do the same to your"
I think this is universally true
of the theater. Some directors
feel that they must treat actors
not only as beginners, but as
idiots; some actors deserve this
treatment. But Shaw, who laid
down the laws of courtesy and
followed them, knew that with
each play the stage renews it.
self. Good actors stand for the
most appalling lectures from
their actors. and good actors
from their directors, because, in
effect, they are beginners with
every new play. And the plays
which give pleasure, the play
ers who please, all carry over a
little of this fresh quality in the
finished performance.

Did Wood Weep?

Since am interested in
news, it takes a long time for
rumor to reach me, and I have
only now heard it said that
Barry Wood, of Harvard, wept
for two hours after the game
which his team lost to Yale.
Il this is true. it is not so
much of a discredit to Wood
as to the teaching staff of
Harvard, Of which Wood is
supposed to be a particular
pride, since he is an athlete
who gets high marks and has
been elected to Phi Beta
Kappa. The head of the Greek
department has been negligent,
If Wood wept, because three
years of collegiate Greek should
have acquainted Wood with the
Greek tragedians and instructed
him when it was wise to weep
and when more noble to be
silent to the end. The Latin
branch is equally at fault for
not having inspired Wood to
emulate the Roman stoics. The
teachers Of English and of
comparative literature, the
whole department of philoso-
ply. are challenged by the
spectacle of Woods tears. Tor
their sake, I hope he did not
shed them.
Wells on Wood
AS I am under a private
oath to mention H. G.. Wells
once every day this week. and
as Wells Work, Wealth and
Happiness of Mankind" touches
virtually every subject chat
can rise, I might as well bring
him in here. Mr.. Wood,
whether he cried or not, may
read the half-chapter on sport
in this book and learn that
collegiate sport is a fairly new
thing in the world. oVerblown
for special reasons by under
graduates, faculties and alumni.
And that sport itself has such
a place in the affairs Of men
that 1t requires the tribute of
tears only when it is miSuSed.
Young Mr.. Wood seems to be
one Of the few persons en-.
gagged in football who put it in
its proper place. And in spite
Of the Subterranean glee over
the defeat Of the intellectual,
he may be assured that he is
not in disgrace with fortune
and in mems eyes.
