A N old farmer, putting his
~ corncob pipe and ref1ec-
n lively gazing at his noisy
pig pen, once remarked
when money gifts skeerce ev'ry-
thing seems to go wrong. Even
the Bible don't read right"
Recalling that another sage OF
a remote period stamped money
as "the root of all evil" it seems
difficult to reconcile the two obSer-
Vations. The fact remains, how
ever, that since this depression,
which everybody has been talking
about, things do seem to have
gone wrong, and, after all, money
may be at the bottom of it.
Never before in the memory OF
this very wise generation have so
many critics been developed in
the big audience of our local en-
vironment, while over N'York way
the estimable writer's in the thea
ter have been obliged to don their
weightieSt armor to prepare for
their own defense. This, too, when
the heat of the dog days is COM
polling men and women, not to
mention the babies, to doff their
superfious adornment in search Of
comfort.
Money, or the want of it, may
be at the bottom of it all; but to
a wild-eyed man up tree it real
ly seems as if public opinion is
inclined to assert itself. And
there is a lot of public opinion
loose in the world. Maybe it has
been saved up for the close of
the theater season, and maybe it
just happens to have ripened at
this particular time. Maybe it
has been provoked, and maybe it
hasn't, but there isn't the vestige
of doubt that critical thought is
fairly bubbling in the bridal month
of June as never before.
There is one comfort in adj
versity, however. Those who are
shooting" it seem to have no
particular target in view, as, be-
ginning with politics, it ranges
through the corridors of the thea
ter, the concert halls Of music, the
decadence of modern literature,
at the ever-preSent movies and
even out into the air at the radio.
Everybody seems to have con-
fiicting opinion about somebody
or something until to tired mind
that gladly would dream of trip
to the mountains or the seaShore
it appears as if something should
be done about it.

WELL, something is about to be

Testing Seeds in Soil" one reel,

newer method with the older one OF
making termination tests in blotters.
According to the film; experiments have
shown that testing seeds in blotters
sometimes has proved misleading, but
tests in soil show which seedlings will

are made IS fully Illustrated.

Winning Back "the Road"

NEVER at any time during the last
five years. it is believed. has the
prospect for restoring the living stage
in the smaller cities been more hopeful.
So say the members of the recently
organized Save Our Stage sos
Society,"" which for the last three weeks
has been conducting an intensive CAM
paign for the restoration Of flesh-and-
blood attractions to the smaller cities
and towns of America.
Fathered by the Theatrical Press
Representatives Of America, an organ
ization of theatrical advance agents,
who term themselves the statesmen of
the theater," the members have gone
about what is called 1.-THE rehabilitation
of the road" In an intelligent and sys-
tsmatic manner, and remarkable results
already are said to have been achieved.
An intensive educational publicity
campaign has been inaugurated by a
special committee of the sos"
through which the various civic and
cultural bodies of the smaller cities
have been acquainted. with its objec-
tives. Through the press of these. COM
munities appeals are going forth to as
sist in the movement of bringing back to
their cities the living stage. And their
response, it is said, has been most
gratifying.
AS a groundwork for their fight for
what Is known as the lone, two and
three night stands" the Theatrical
Press Representatives have organized a
Save Our Stage" Society. Its member
ship is intended to include members OF
the theatrical profession and the allied
theatrical trades from the bottom to
the top, and 1t also is open to "the
frien5s of the speaking stage" A mem.
bership costs so cents and includes an
sos" button and a pledge card.
The money derived from this source
is used by the committee for its pub
licity campaign expenses. Later it +
proposed to send sales force" of IL

in the zone nighters," in the hope Of
enlisting the interest of the various
chambers of commerce, the Rotary, XII
wenis, Lions, Masonic and knights OF
Columbus fraternities, the Drama
Leagues, little theaters and other civic
and cultural bodies. And at the same
time they will endeavor tc enlist the
cooperation of the mayors and gov
ornamental heads, as well as merchants
and others, in their movement
For this pioneer work these agents
will not receive one cent of Salary-only
their travelling expenses being paid.
Each man Is to be assigned four towns
two each week-which will make q
total of 40 cities coversd by them in the
initial two weeks they are out.
It will be their endeavor to secure
guaranteed audiences for certified at
fractions" In other words, they Will
solicit a guaranty of a sufflcient num-
Der of theater ticket sales for given
number of road shows to visit a given
city so as to make 1t profitable to send
better-class attractions to that city. In
return for this guaranty the SOS"
Society will pledge itself to uphold the
high STANDARD of attractions sent. To
this end a committee of nationally
known and respected authorities on the
drama, not actively engaged in theatre
cal productions and therefore unbiased,
will pass on road attractions submitted
for their approval, and the fol-
lowing have been suggested to COM
pose this committee: william Lyon
Phelps of Yale University; Miss Sue
Ann Wilson, executive secretary of the
Drama League; Alexander Woolcott,
noted columnist and lecturer; Frank
Gilmore, head of the Actors Equity As
ISOLATION; Daniel Frohman, ex-producer
and head Of the Actors Fund, and Dr.
Henry Moskowitz, head Of the League
of New York Theaters.
| 1t is the further intent of sos"
| to bring about reduction in overhead
and carrying expenses, so that living
entertainment" can and will be given
at scale of prices to compare favor
ably with pre-war days. For example,
a 81 or less top price for dramatic
shows and $3.50 one for the big musi-
Gals. This committee already has re-
ceived tentative offers of at least 30 or
i 20 worthwhile attractions.

! day Star, that those interested
may be fully informed, for 1t is a
give and-take project, which cul-
tural judgment will approve in all
probability for the sake Of Amer
ica's intellectual taste and for the
renaissance of Americas Theater.
THE famous Carnegie Institute
of Technology, at Pittsburgh,
seems to have anticipated the call
and reinforced it with the arm of
it's intellectual power Elmer Ken
Won, fortified by the training Of
the University of Pittsburgh and
Harvard, one time president of
the Pittsburgh Drama League and
a director of the Drama League
of America, as well as one Of the
brilliant disciples Of the New York
Theater Guild, has been called and
| installed as the executive head Of
the drama department of Carne-
gle Tech, which is reputed to be
one of the finest schools of dra-
matte art in the country. For in
this school the student not only
becomes an active member Of a
carefully developed repertory COM
pany, but he is acquainted with
all the tricks of stage technology
in scenery, costumes and stage
lighting, as well as in the critical
examination of plays and the art
of acting in them The Signifi-
canoe of this news is that it is
notice to all who engage in the
professional attempt to entertain
the people that the keeping Of the
American Theater is in the hands
of the wise and the Skillful, who
know its values and are well able
to preserve them against all COM
reasons why "the living theater"

THE Art of Criticism for the
American people existed some
time before the great project of
American independence became
popular. The right of the peo-
Pile to fearleSsly criticize things
was imbedded in the American
Constitution in no unmiStakable
terms. What wonder is it, there
fore, that folks still persist in
criticizing even the theater critics.
The right to exercise it is not
hedged about with limitations of
any kind, save only that one
must always refrain from speak
ing i'll of another, and even then
one can do so, if he be willing to
pay the price. The arming of the
Manhattan critics, therefore, to
Withstand the assaults that de-
velop against their ipse dixits,
unwise as it may be, seems
to be uncalled for and inap-
propriate, if for no other rea-
son.. let us say, because the
weather is apt to be very warm
before the conflict is ended; and
also because our President has just
made what the reluctant French
man calls beau geste, a signifi-
cant bid for peace. If the "rabble"
wants to rail-" even against the
sage and sensitive critic, it has
the constitutional right to do so,
and why shouldn't it rail If its
opinion runs that way? It Is
certainly one of the few ways
Of getting even when the chap who
pays for seeing the show doesn't
like it, and equally SO when he
does like it. If somebody tries
