ard heralded as a tender, digni-
fled, reverential and quantity
beautiful story of the Bible.
From Bradford Story
It springs from the stocy OF the
creation as told in the graphic
chapters of Roark Bracford's
"Old Man Adam and RiS Chill
lun" and in the retelling through
imaginative stage pictures much
of the spiritual warmth and emo
tional fervor of the original has
been captured.
Episode III treatment. the va
riouS incidents founded upon
Biblical lore are strung together
by sonorous and swaying s,,iritualS
sung with powerful effectiveness
by a concealed choir which helps
maintain the semi-religious mood
conjured by this intensely inter
esting Southern pastoral.
Perhaps it sounds SacriligeouS

pany and cripple the opening
night performance of the
play at the National The
ater led to an appeal for
police protection and a de-
tail was assigned to the col

The management was in
receipt of warnings that those

the showing of the Marc

to the threats police guarded

to assure his safety and
escort him to and from the

duction of "The Mystery of the
Wax Museum" a Warner Brothers
picture which opens at Warner

The cast was taken in order to
reproduce the figure of Marie

picture, Miss Wray is said to
bear a marked resemblance to

BY ANDREW II. hELLEY
On Monday night, February 81,
Washington's most brilliant first
night audience of the season will
turn out at the National Theater
as a tribute of affection and es-
TEEN to L. Stoddard Taylor, for %
years a theater manager of the
National Capital.
The stage attraction will be
Paul Mum in Elmer Rice's great
play, "Counselor-at-Law" and IN
paying tribute to Manager Taylor
the wise theater-goer will also be
assuring himself of a dramatic
treat. The prospect has all the as
poets Of an enjoyable evening.
An Old Friend
It was on the night before the
Inauguration of Woodrow Wilson,
or on March 3, 1912, that this de-
partment made its first contact
with the gracious manners of the
BelaSco manager, an acquaintance
blast on the horn. There are the
gentle humors inspired by the
heavenly charwomen who would
like to gild DE Lawd'S" roll top
desk and do over his office to
comport to his Importance: and
when Abraham complains of his
-ng sores.
The effect of this scriptural
panorama is generally moving
and pictureSquely real for the
parallels of Genesis and other
pages from the Bible have been
supplemented by modern melo-
dramatic touches which keep it
from becoming pulpit document
and secure in the realm Of the
theater.
Church Prologue
"The Green Pastures" begins
with a Sunday school prologue
in which that good man, Mr..
Deshee, instructs a group of
children on the meaning of the
inspired word. Thereafter it dis
solves into a series of striking
stage pictures designed by Robert
Edmond Jones of which the
most brilliant are the march of
the chosen people to the promised
land under the guidance of
Moses, the deeply solemn moment
when the God of mercy is re-
vealed to Hezdrel and the glow
ing portraits of the happy here
after.
Reverend "Lawd"
Holding the play tightly within
the understanding spirit of it's
authors is the richly endowed
performance of Richard B. Har-
rison as de LaWd." Here is a
stately, white haired, actor whose
deep voice and venerable righteous
ness command the respect of a
prelate, whose fortnight concep-
tion of the Lord God Jehovah is
so simple end tender and
thoroughly human it is a ire
mendously appealing portrait.
The deep musical tones of
Daniel D. Haynes voice made his
solemn profession of belief one of
the finest moments in well-acted
play Doe Doe Green realizes well
the humorous phases of Gabriels
character and there were worthy
contributions by Charles H. Moore,
George Randol, Salem Tut Whit
ney and Alonzo Henderson.
"The Green Pastures" is a novel
adventure in the theater, SO far
removed from the conventional
that it represents solid achieve
ment and a fascinating fabric for
the studiouS playgoer.

lstanbuI Is Lure

lstanbuI Is Lure
Ever since I was a small kid
I've been dreaming of a visit
to Constantinople-or Istanbul,
as it is called today. I don't
know what caused that de-
sire. Perhaps it was the pic
lures of Fatima that they gave
away in the cigarette packages
in the old days, or perhaps it
was the mysterious sound OF
the name itself.
Whatever it was, though, I
always had a yen to park my
self in Constantinople for a
short stay. And noW-at the
magnificent speed of about
twelve miles an hour-Im on
my way. If this train remains
on the single track, and they
give you no such guarantee
when you pay your fare, I'll
arrive at my destination the
day after tomorrow.
That, at least, is what the
schedule says. But they don't
give you any guarantee with
that, either.
Another nation means an
other race of people. I'll be
among the Turks soon-and
I'm just trying to determine
whom they will hate the most
of all. Whom have they picked
out as a special enemy? The
Greeks? The Rumanians? The
Russians? The JugoSlavianS?
Strike Italy first, as I did,
for example, and it doesn't
take any penetrating genius to
discover that the Italians are
not particularly fond of the
French. They're figuring on
trouble with France some day,
and most of them feel that
the day is not far off. In ad-
dition to France, 1t" none
too fond of jug" but
that's only a minor
No Love for Finch
Cross over to northern Africa
and land in Tunis. The French
govern Tunis-and how do the
Tushisians feel about the
French? Well. to be blunt about
it, they bear them scant love.
They mutter about taxes and
about being held down when
they feel that they are capable
Of Self-government.
But that feeling, I suppose, is
q universal one. There isn't a
nation in the world that knows
when it's well off. The French
have done much in TuniS, and
they are continuing to do the
best they can. But Tunis will
never be satisfied until it is in
dependent.
Hop over to France. They
have many pet peeVes in this
land; so many, in fact, that it is
hard to put your finger on any
particular one. Germany, I
suppose, ranks first on the list
but there are other nations that
aren't far behind. France is
pretty dog-gone self-satistied at
the present writing and the ma
tions fear little from anyone.
Skip to Germany and see
how little this nation thinks of
France. They intend to even
the score with France some day,
and the latter nation will al
ways be the object of their
Scorn. Germany, naturally, has
many other hatreds. But France
Is so far ahead of the others
that it isn't even a contest.
Into CzechoSlovakia and learn
that the Czechs care very little
about the Italians. Further
more, they're none too keen
about the Germans. On the
other hand, they feel very close
to France, and they're quite Ger
tain that the French would be
their strongest ally in case of
trouble. A bit mixed up, isn't it?

ing for a lost cause and that
his nation will be swallowed up
in the next war. But as long
as it isn't Hungary that does
the swallowing he isn't going to
kill himself.
Pass into Hungary and see
the sincere hatred that this ma
tion bears the average Czecho-
Slovakian. He doesn't like the
Austrian any more than the
Austrian likes him-but it's the
Czech whom he really wants to
drag down.
Hop a train through Jugo-
slavia and enter Greece to find
that-but what's the use of 60
ing on along these lines? I
suppose I'll learn that the
Greek still hates the Turk and
that the Turk still hates the
Greek-in spite of harmony be-
tween them at the moment. It's
that way all through Europe.
Why should it be different in
Turkey?
And so it goes. This one hates
that one. That one hates this
one. The nation on the west
is looking daggers at the ma
ton on the north. Nothing but
another war, with Papa Amer
ica again in the middle, will
ever erase the situation. And,
as usual, Papa America-with
no business there in the first
place-probably will foot the
bills.
Hurrah for the World Court!
In the next compartment to
me, while I'm on the subject,
is a Greek. He's in the film
business, and we got to talking
at the station in Athens while
waiting for the train to arrive.
His English is pretty bad, but
it's certainly better than any
Greek.

Some More Hates

Move into Austria and find
out that the Austrian hates the
Hungarian in every sense of the
word. He hasn't any too great
a love for the Czech, but his
feeling about the Hungarian
goes far deeper than his dis
trust of CZechoslovakia. The
Austrian knows that he is fight
