New Tragedy by
Irish Players

Illness caused the change in the
program of the Irish Players last
night, Things That Are Caesars"
biting tragedy in three acts by
Paul Vincent Carroll being Substi-
tuted for the scheduled THE New
Gossoon.'P Eileen Groves inca
pacitation made the change neces-
sary. This was the Abbey Theater
prize play.
A thoughtful play, like the
earlier dramas this piece was
given a studied and sometimes
brilliant performance by an excel
lent cast. It tells Of the turbulent
strife between mismated couple,
the wife a hypocritical schemer
welded to old customs and the
worlds vanities, the husband an
intellectual radical and a hereto
to established Irish belief. Their
struggle is to win support Of their
daughter.
Maureen Delany, Kate Curling
and Michael j. Dolan interpret the
principal roles with a fine feeling
for their sharp pointed values.
Barry Fitzgerald, Dennis ODea,
F.. j. Mccormick and Ria Mooney
were also excellent.
This afternoon the players will
offer Sean O'Casey's Shadow Of
a Gunman" and Spreading the
News" by Lady Gregory. Tonight
they will repeat "Playboy Of the

At the moment, Of course,
Italy is all Mussolini. His name
is before you at all times. His
every action and his every

is law and his dictates are
obeyed everywhere. They had
better be.
It goes without saying that
the man has plenty Of enemies.
But they seldom speak in the
open because such a course Is
none too healthy. More, with
out enemies, the man would
not be the figure that he is.
For a man really to succeed
in life, he must invariably have
more enemies than friends. Be.

envy-and envy is just another
synonym for hatred. Prettye
Yet, when you travel through
italy and see what this one
man has accomplished in the
last 10 years, you must be
amazed. Here is a nation OF
some 42,000,0 900 people. Its
natural resources are very poor.
Beautiful scenery, yes-but only
tourists and a few newlywedS
can live on scenery. The pas
lures, the mines and the nat
ural wealth Of the United
States are but empty dreams
in Italy.
It wasn't more than 10 years
ago that Italy ranked fairly
low among the nations Of the
world. Travel was none too
safe within it's borders. There
was tumult in the outer po-
litical circles and chaos within.
Harmony and a striving to as.
sist the lower classes were
things that looked to be i'm

Moloff attempts to establish

Tar Of Russia and thence to
gain control Of his fortunes.
Through hypnotic influence he
impreSSes the necessary incidents
upon the girls mind. Two SEEM
ingly disconnected murders, an
inexplicable motor accident and
the disappearance of Eugene, the
flower girl, are all found directly
traceable to Moloff by st. Cyr,

far it parallels the career Of the
late Ivar Kruger, and one may
be still more puzzled as to the

will enjoy the picture thoroughly,
for it is one of the most timely
and interesting of the season.
The characterization Of Paul
Kroll given by Warren William
is exceptionally fine. Here is a
portrait Of a man greedy for
wealth and power, and willing to
brook no obstacles in his rise. He
Shamelessly betrays friends and
confidants, and does not stop
even at murder to rid himself Of
those who can be no longer use
ful-or who might be potentially
dangerous. In other words, he is
a gilded racketeer Of the type, We
are learning now, to have been
much more widely distributed
than we thought.
Yet all his crimes bring him
neither happiness nor security.
His vast business empire crum-

loves prefers a gypsy violinist-
presumably, although we never
see the violinist except in Silhou-
cite, a much better choice.

'Goona Goona' Is
Native Actor
Picture

Those who visited the Metropoli-
tan yesterday intrigued by the
title Of "Goona- Goona," left the
theater charmed by the simple
native story of love on the Island
of Bali.
The story is told entirely by
natives, placed entirely on the
native shores of Bali, and deals
entirely with primitive passions.
It is interesting to note that
the story was reconstructed by
Andre Roosevelt after the legend
of the mighty princes love for a
young coolie girl had been re.
counted to him on the isle, and
that it took four years to train
the unskilled natives to pose be-
fore the camera.
The story involves the quite
modern triangle love affair, with
Prince Nonga in love with a
charming little native girl. And
though this little Balinese is al
fianced to a man Of her own caste,
the prince does his best to vile
her away.
But it remains to his crafty sis
ter to help him out of his plight,
The sister visits the receSseS OF
the mountainSide to obtain the
magical "goona-goona"-and that
does the trick for the prince. But
it also proves his disaster at the
hands Of the outraged coolie. OF
course, the coolie fiance dies, too.
The melodrama of the feature
is offset by a riotouS short sub
ject comedy, 'The Run Around
with william Demarest and a dip
into the past Of movies, with
Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fair
banks.

when even Mussolini nurses
the same wonderment. But
the fact remains that they are
being done. And If that
doesn't count the most what
does?
The One and Only
What viii happen to Italy
when Mussolini dies, is some
thing they don't like to talk
about in italy. That there is
another figure in the nation,
or in the world, who is strong
enough to replace him, I doubt
very much. Perhaps the glory
that is his will carry italy
onward for many centuries.
And perhaps-well, why go into
that?
Meanwhile, while he lives,
Mussolini continues to round
out q political system that is
most remarkable. The best
way I can describe it to you
is that it is a sort of super
Tammany. Throughout the
land, men owe their position to
Mussolini and the party in
power. Not one or two or
three, but millions. And not
only in the biggest jobs, but
in the smallest as well.
Perhaps it is this system that
will win allegiance to Musso-
lini'S successor, whoever he
might be. When the job pays
well and the tunmy is well
filled, men dislike a change.
But nothing in the world will
save the party when the tummy
is empty and the pay Is
small. Are you listenin', Mr..
Hoover?
war? Yes, I think that Italy
will be at war with another
nation before too many, years
have passed. And when the
dread day arrives, I think the
other nation will find Italy
far better prepared than any
one believed possible.
We don't talk very frequently
about war in America. It seems
to be a subject that's far away
from the average man on the
street. Because we became the
most prosperous Of nations in q
short time, we seem to be har-
boring the notion that we are
= slightly superior to the rest Of
the world.
The Washington times., 1932-12-10
Good Old Grandpa

Then, too, we seem to have
adopted q grandfatherly atti-
tude toward the entire universe.
We spend millions to teach
others how to make them. We
try to cram brotherly love down
the throats Of those who will
never know the meaning Of the
words.
Other nations will never play
ball with US or with each other,
and the more I travel, the more
I realize how true those words
are. While grandpa has the
dough, the kiddies will always
sit upon his knees and listen to
his bedtime stories. But if
grandpa goes broke, the kiddies
will hit him a terrible sock
upon the kiSSer.
In q recent discussion with
an American citizen the eX-
kaiser gave the only possible
answer to the entire discussion.
And he did it in a very few
words.
"How is it, sir" asked the
citizen, "that other nations are
again talking of war? Wasn't
the last one horrible enough
to end all wars forever? Surely
there must be come solution"
The ex.kaiser shrugged his
shoulders.
There is" he replied wear
lily. "Just change human ma
.ture."
Prohibition, the greatest evil
that ever befell the United
States, was put over by a group
Of self'sufficient fools who
wanted to reform America. We
know now what prohibition did

our eyes and awaken before we

There's another big story buzz
zing around Japan, and the sub
jeet Of it is steaming across this
mans ocean right now on another
ship several hundred miles behind
this one. He is Cameron Forbes,
retiring American ambassador to
Japan, who is returning home
with Mrs. Forbes.
Forbes Storm Center
Well. sir, about six weeks ago,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Forbes were
packing up their silk kimonos and
carved ivory cigarette holders,
which represents such a large
part of Japan's industrial contri-
button to mankind-just then a
spokesman Of the Japanese for
eign office called in American
and other foreign correspondents
and charged in plain language
that Americas Ambassador had
lust the same as called japanese
Foreign Minister Yoshizawa a
liar. that Japan felt herself in
suited and that if it we're not
for the fact that Forbes was al
most as good as on his way home,
Japan would request his recall.
Effort to Smear Forbes
OF course, there had been some
polite and diplomatic converse
ton between Forbes and Yoshi-
zawa during that ticklish period
of Stimson notes, when Washing
ton was trying to reconcile the
statements and promises Of the
japanese foreign office with ex-
actly opposite actions of the
Japanese military in Shanghai.
But that word "liar" was never
used, nor anything like it-and
that is a fact as was later stated
by both Forbes and Yoshizawa.
However, the spokesman of the
foreign office. who seems to be
closer with the young military
party than he is with the Foreign
Office, gave the statement quoted
above to the press Of the world,
apparently in an attempt to place
blot on Forbes fine record in
Tokyo upon the eve of his volun-
tary return to America, and there
by spread a rumor Of his recall.
Just Another Day
Tokyo buzzes with this story to-
day while Forbes, bearing the Of
ficial thanks and congratulations
of the Japanc~~ government, is
sailing homeward across the Pa
cific.
Well, sir, we just slipped across
the 180th meridian and picked up
