 Comments on Play
DinsmOre Sees "The Tro. ian Woman as Protest
 Against War

Rev Charles A. D!nsmore, D. D., former pastor at the First Congre- gationai church 1 this city and now Yale Divinity school lecturer on Spiritual Content of Literature, contributes the following observa- ton through the New Haven Journal.Courier on the presenta. ton of "The Trojan Woman" at the Little Theater In that city:
 "As every year give several lectures on the Greek dramatists. was eager to avail myself of the privilege of seeing "The Trojan Women" now playing at the Little Theater, especially as the melod- jus translation Gilbert Murray was to be used. The first performance on Saturday afternoon more than satisfied me. The setting and tho lighting were effective, the leading parts were admirably taken by players who had truo feeling for the pathos of the scene. and the whole play was 50 given as to pro- foundly impress the audience with the tragic horror of the situation It was q tragedy so nobly rendered that 1t fulfilled Aristotle's require ment; 1t purged the soul.
 "'Thc Trojan Women Is perhaps the most powerful protest ever made againA the lust and wicked. ness of war. Who but a Greek of the great period had had imagina- ton enough to enter Into the tcn- d-rest feelings of his foe? Most writers condemn war by showing how ones own country suffers. Euripides condemned 1t by making his auditors sympathlze with suf. fering enemy.
 'f missed many of the lines ei. hter through faulty etiunciation or poor hearing, but I looked for and caught the magic lines In Hecuba's prophecy:
 "'All Is well. Had he not turned us In his hand,
 and thrust
 Our high things low and shook our
 hills us dust,
 We had not been the splendor, and
 our wrong
 Tho everlasting music. for & song Or earth and heaven" ..
 The play will be presented for the last time this evening at S:S0.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-With- in the compass of his acceptance speech and a trio of campaign addresses, President Herbert Hoo- yer still hopes to confine the ma- jor document of his campaign for reelection.
 It will constitute hls own report on the stewardship his own esti- mate of what are the true values, political and economic, of the Presidential campaign of 1882.
 The broad outlines of what he will say for his administration or commit himself to for the years ahead in the event of reelection, already are before the voters.
 First Speech in Iowa
 They were written into MT. Hoo- ver's acceptance of his second nomination. That speech stands as an all-embracing foreword to the personal campaign book the President contemplates. The speech es to come will only ampiify major considerations or issues of the campaign as he sees them.
 Through the locations chosen for two of the three campaign ad- dresses MT. Hoover is scheduled to deliver, glimpse of their general character and place in his plans is obtainable.
 One will be at Des Moines, in MT. Hoovers native Iowa tomor- row, synchronizing almost to the day with the Democratic State convention in New York around which hover expectations of signi- ficant developments in the Demo- cratic Presidential campaign.
 The other address definitely de- cided upon will be in New York City, on a day yet to be named.
 Campaign Speeded Up
 The purport Of this seems that in Des Moines MT. Hoover plans to round out his appeal for a vote of confidence from the farm CTS and their allied and associat- ed groupings; while in New York his message will be directed to the industrial elements. The third address is yet to be decided upon.
 That MT. Hoover moved into the mid-campaign period under in creasing pressure from some of his advisers to widen the scope of his own personal share in the battle
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-10-03

could not be doubted. Party de- feat in the Maine election in- splred speeding up of the Re- publican National campaign under urgency of MT. Hoover himself. Yet both because of his feeling as to the dignity and requirements of the high office he holds, and because of his personal choice of campaigning methods, well estab- lished in 1928 when he made only four major addresses besides his acceptance speech and five short talks, the President appeared loath to enlarge on his speaking pro- gram.
 What the immediate exigencies of the political situation might force upon him in the way of ad- ditional personal appearance re- mains to be determined as the campaign goes along.
