On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
ON things Material and Immateria1.

officer in order to "get his
man" sat with the Communist
organization for seven years
and listened to their plots
against the government. Eight
reds were last week given
prison sentences of five and two
years to run concurrently;
orders were issued for con-
fiscation of all the party's
property in Canada and thous-
ands of party adherents face
arrest as a result of testimony
given at the trials. In this
glorious free America, we do
things differently. We allow
them to maintain schools for
the education in un-American
principles and the diffusion of
reasonable speech in which
the Constitution is likened unto
a scrap of paper insofar as they
are concerned and only to be
lived up to by Americans.
Should by chance, an officer
have the temerity to arrest
them for their riot-inciting
palaver, they at once invoke
their Constitutional right of
free speech Notwithstanding
the fact that this irreproach-
able American document was
torn to tatters in their incendi-
airy remarks.
While the Communist pro-
fesses to believe that other
countries have it all over the
u. S., it will be noticed that not
one of them will voluntarily
forsake the protection afforded
by the American flag and re-
turn to the Utopia he so valiant
ly processes to love. Mime
sofa and Duluth have their
share of this kind and it is only
passing the buck" for the
citizens of the Zenith City to
proclaim that Superior is the
hot bed for this class. In the
western suburb of Duluth a
school is maintained where
Soviet teachings are impaired
to the Young Communists who
are later sent out everywhere
to inform the world of the
glories of their teachings.
Last summer, even our respect
able American community was
invaded by a bunch of school
children headed by paid or
ganizers of more mature years
and who were with the move
ment for. what money there
was in it. Duluth is reaping
the results of it's complacency
and decency in allowing this
fostering school sore to exist
in it's midst by being almost
weekly harassed and ordered
about by the red host.
The depression now being
faced throughout the world
as we'll as here in Ely, is also
being felt by the leaders whose
emoluments in the sale of men,
berships has fallen off to an
almost negible quantity. The
zeal in behalf of the cause
suffers in proportion to the
falling off in the fees. Once
in a while one of the bunch
which was so prominent for
several months last summer
shows up in Ely and silently
gathers all there is to gather
to themselves. The propa-
ganda issued at 101 First
Street North, Virginia, and sur
eptitiously circulated nights
around Ely has failed to appear
lately and the advice to strike
and help out unemployment"
has fallen on unproductive
ground. Old timers in the
country who lived through sew
eral depressions during their
time, while sorely tried, are
doing all in their power to live
through this one. In some
cases these old timers are
feeding and keeping in school
some of these kids" who know
just how to conduct the affairs
of the country in these trying
times, something the best brains

DEEMS TAYLOR
PLANS OPERA
FROM PLAY

"Street Scene," the graphic
drama of city life by Elmer Rice,
which comes to the Belasco
Theater Sunday night is to be
made into an opera.
Deems Taylor, noted American
composer, states that he is at
work on an operate version of
the play which will be produced
at the Metropolitan Opera House,
New York. Mr.. Taylor is the
composer of THE Kings Hench,
man." and Peter Ibettson, the
only American operas to become
part of the permanent repertory
of the Metropolitan. He speaks
enthusiastically of this new
lyrical drama and his reasons for
selecting "Street Scene" The
story of the play is universal, is
true of the life of any great
city, according to Mr.. Taylor.
Likes Emotional Plot
"It has always been my ambi-
tion," he says, "to try to do for
New York what Carpenter &C
complished So admirably in
Louise for Paris. I do not
know that it is in my power to
reach that model Of perfection,
but I mention the goal in order
to crystalize my hopes and
dreams. In "Street Scene" I
have found an emotional plot.
The setting is New York, but the
dramatic development could have
taken place in London, Paris,
Rome, Chicago, Buenos Aires, or
any other great city. It could
have occurred a hundred years
ago, it might occur a thousand
years from now. The theme of
the story is universal. This is
necessary to an opera that must
have any sort of life and vitality
"It must have in it the stuff to
move audiences all over the world.
And because Elmer Rice'S play
embodies all of these qualities, it
has the right basis for musical
dress. The emotions of the action
are such that music can color and
decorate them. There are scenes,
as in the love episodes of Rose
Maurrant, the Irish heroine, and
Sam Kaplan, the Jewish boy, for
which it will be perfectly legiti-
mate to write true duets and solos.
The play is, furthermore, rich in
character studies of extreme COS
mopolitan types.
Playwright to Aid
IT am determined to follow the
play almost exactly" Mr.. Taylor
declares. Elmer Rice, the bril-,
liant playwright of Street Scene,
has promised to collaborate with
me in the development of the
text-we will not call it a Ii
bretto.' Such alterations in the
words as are necessary. he and
will make together" Mr.. Taylor
has already done considerable
work on the "Street Scene" score,
the atmosphere and general
framework.

THRILLS OF CIRCUS IN
SHRINE'S BIG SHOW

Each year the question rises,
what would happen to the circus
business if children all of a sud-
den became ultra-sophisticated and
refused to be entertained by the
feats of clowns. But each year
the circus comes back. Each year
the children flock to The circus
and with them come parents who
see the show year after year to
see the same thing over and over
again.
Last night the Shrine Circus
opened at the Washington Audi
torium with all the odor of ele-
plants and horses and the Shrek
ing of the side show herald.
This morning there were hun
dreds of upset StomachS and a
temporary distaste for the COM
bination of roasted peanuts, pop
corn, pop and sticky candy.
Shrine Auspices.
With several headlinerS from
famous circus shows, the circus,
given under the auspices of the
uniformed bodies of the Almas
Temple, played to a capacity
audience majority of which
was cheering and yelling young
sters who shouted from $3.50 p.
m. to 1920 p. m.
May Wirth, famous equestrian
of nationwide fame, with phil" !"
the whirlwind comedy rider and
the rest of the family, was the out
standing feature of the show. In
a sensational riding demonstra-
ton, this family proved itself
worthy of it's wide acclaim. Here
again the clownish rider shows
himself to be equal in ability, II
not better, than the more serious
of the group.
Five Japanese acrobats, calling
themselves "EnoS Japa ne e
Troupe" exemplified the supple
ness of body and the speed of &C
ton of the Oriental people. In
an act, part comedy and all ex-
cellent body coordination, Max
imo, Of the silver wire, balanced
himself through several difficult
and staggering bits of tight-wire
walking. Had the Almas Temple
Band co-operated with more
rhythmic and well-timed music,
MaXimo might have had less diff
Guilty in staging his act.

PINERO'S NEW
DRAMA AT
BELASCO
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY


Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, now
in his seventy-sixth year, wrote
''Dr. Harmer" seven years ago but
production was delayed until the
playwright found the actor per-
fectly equipped to play its dual
personality role. Philip Merivale
met the Pinero requirements and
so the first performance was
offered at the Belasco Theater
last night.
Pinero calls his drama a "con-
trast in nine scenes" and claims
that its major incidents are
founded upon actual occurrence.
What it offers playgoers is an
interesting, if somewhat mechan-
ically involved, character study
Of a doctor motivated by good
and evil impulses. The analogy
to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" is
unacceptable although the play
wright makes no studied attempt
to surround the dual personali-
ties with weird or grotesque
mystery.
TwO-Sided Doctor
This DR.. Harmer in his ra-
tional periods is a kindly, gen.
erous and considerate medico, en-
dowed with a good practice, an
upright resident of the English
countryside. Every so often ne
Is seized by an uncomfortable
urge, an unconquerable desire to
grovel in the lowest forms of
bestiality. They are followed by
sessions Of remorse and contrite
Sinking back to respectability
and profession. His intimates
are puzzled and deceived by the
doctors frequent holidays"
which leave him shaken and
shabby, but his vices remain a
secret. They vision him as a
ministering angel to the slums of
London.
Tries a Remedy
DR.. Harmer cites a hypothetical
case to his fellow practitioner,
DR.. MacGill, and invites a
remedy for these sordid seizures.
MacGill suggests matrimony
might solve the problem for one
so afflicted, since it would create
a desire to retain his mates re
spect and protect her against his
baser self. DR.. Harmer has an
opportunity to test the efficacy
of the remedy and becomes en-
gagged to the anaemic niece Of
his landlady. However the
romance goes amiss, through no
fault of the doctor, he yields

LASKY PLANS
FILM STOCK
COMPANY
By HARRISON CARROLL


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March
17-Paramount is stepping right

A deal is on for Eleanor Board
man CMrs. King Vidor), to sign

ress recently has been making
successful screen comeback after
several years of semi-retirement.
She is working now in Cecil B.
De Miles production of THE

again to the call of the flesh and
the finish is written when he is
murdered in the attic hovel of
a harlot.
Drama is Antique
Only Actor Merivale's superla-
tive art makes "Dr. Harmer," an
appealing study. His portrait is
a clinical case from the medical
pages rather than an interesting
character from life. Pinero has
sketched but vaguely the reasons
which send DR.. Harmer on his
periodical sprees of debauchery-
perhaps the advanced class in
psycho-analysis may understand
and the result is figure
which generates pity rather than
sympathy. Merivale gives it
everything an understanding
actor can apply but I doubt
whether it is enough to sustain a
faltering playwright obviously
outdated.
Wallace ErSkine made "Dr. Nc
Gill;" a very human, middle-aged
country physician and the Elsie
Speed" of Helen Vinson was emo
tionally effective. Connie Ora
ham and Olga Birkbeck depict
London huSSieS with a Semblance
of what I suspect is realism, and
ale house roughnecks are lifelike
enough. Less effective was the
stiff smugness with which Ro-
land Hogue garnished the char
acter of the Rev. Oswald Birkett,
with an auStere Sanctimonious-
ness in dialogue, not helped by
mechanical delivery. In fact "Dr.
Harmer" can stand some re-cast-
ing.
The usual first night defici-
encies were evident, the most
apparent, printed credit for an
other scene, which left the first
night audience waiting for more
Pinero or wondering whether Or.
Harmer" was mystery drama. Sew
eral scenes inserted for the crea-
ton of atmosphere serve for
foggy illusion, but could be called
strictly non-eSsentialS.
Those who are looking for the
Pinero of Mid Channel" "The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray' and
'The Gay Lord Quex" must find
disappointment in the new play.
The infirmities of age are SEEM
ingly, also, the infirmities of pen.
