.BOHES' UNIT TO
 SHOW TONIGHT
Radio Amateurs Appear at ArmOry for IngersOn
 Employees Program

Among the gifted artists who will appear with the Mayor Bowes Anna teurS' tonight at the State Armory, is Uucette de L'Orget, a soprano, who won aclaim on 8 recent Sum- day night broadcast. The Ingersoll employees are sponsoring the affair.
 Lucette is a native of Montreal, who came to New York some three months ago with the avowed inten- tion of making America conscious of her presence. She had never made a public appearance before her addition for the Major Bowes program and only those of the staff who spoke French were quite certain what she had to tell them and even there was much confus- ion. For Lucette represents the seventy per cent of French speak ing population in the Canadian city over the border. Represents them to typically that English is almost a foreign language with her. With the confidence of youth and the charm of manner that won those who saw and heard her, she has started well on her way to making a name for herself, although it will be some months before she will be able to talk about it-in English. Fortunately music is international and Lucette sings in French, Ger man and Italian. Splendid training for the operatic career she hopes to make for herself.
 The group comprising the Major Bowes Company that will appear here, are representative of all parts of the nation. Mabel Batson, the lyrical lady from Mississippi, will vie with the diva from Montreal. Cornelius Vaughn, dramatic bari- tone, halls from Ohio. The Starlight Dixie trio, three chocolate maids from the Alabama State Teachers College, bring rhythm from the southland, while Jack Mathers, Whistling Joe and his Buddier, Lewis Costelh and others add to the mirth and musical part of the entertainment.
 Dancing will follow and continue until 100 a. m. with Jack Fitzger- aids twenty piece orchestra.

Playing F. R.'s Game

SOull1S 1IO1u 0dDoOAl, ouCl Sc4lCl~ ments had far more force if uttered by any New Dealer. But the question arises why the once irrepressible New Dealers didn't beat him to it. One answer is that although many of the boys are raring to take of their skirts and return brick for brick, Roosevelt-whom you may still catalog as a very slick politi- cian-has been repressing them, on the theory that the industrial and financial lords who hate him are driving the liberal, independent vote and the common people" right home to papa"
 There will be plenty of time later to return the fire. Meanwhile, Roose- welt figures, the enemy will be piling up ammunition for him.
 Temporarily, the administration will take an occasional pot shot just to remind people of what it con- siders the issue, such as the preSi- dents Warm Springs crack at gentlemen in well-warmed, well- stocked clubs and the suffering they're going through because gov- ernment is spending money for work-relief," or the Ickes Detroit speech about "multi-millionaires who insist the Constitution was written for exclusive preservation of large aggregations of property, however acquired"
 SIoan's Suffering" Barred Ickles will have to wait for his long-sought chance to cut loose at William Randolph Hearst, whose enmity to the New Deal he regards as a prime administration asset which should be capitalized. But Roosevelt is cherishing and may yet make use of proposals such as that of Broker E. F. Hutton (ac- cused by 8 Senate committee of polo-promoting methods which can- not be too strongly condemned'O that Big Business and Big Finance gang up" against the New Deal.
 Probably it wasn't by accident that 24 hours before President AL fred Sloan of General Motors blast ed the New Deal before 1900 buSi- ness leaders in New York, SEC re- vealed that the suffering MT. Sloan had made $201,000 in wages last year.
 And the blasts of President c. L. Bardo of the National Manufactur- CTS association reminded admins trationists of evidence in the Shear CT, munitions. and ship subsidy lob- by investigations which contain piles of ripe fruit handy to throw at MT. Bardo.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat washington
 C0rreSnOndent


 washington, Dec. 9.-ThoSe hum dreds of New Deal press agents have been as useful as so many postholes during the recent Big Business boom-boom, led by the public utilities, against the ad- ministration.
 With hardly a peep from the government except the soft words of Chairman Jim LandiS of Securi- ties Exchange Commission, the power trust" holding companies were issuing daily defiances, refus- ing to register with SEC as re- quired by law, and filing shoals of injunction suits with accompany ing publicity blasts.
 Suddenly there came 8 slashing, damaging er-attack-but not from the New Deal. It came from the famous Roger w. Babson, financial analyst, oracle, and ad- wiser of Big Business, director of and a very large stockholder in holding and other utility companies.
 In short, the attack was an up- rising in the enemy camp.
 Let us not make the fatal mis- take of defying the law and order upon which our very existence de- pends," wrote Babson to officials and directors of holding companies, adding that until a supreme court decision was rendered, "surely it is up to us directors of public utility holding companies to obey the law Warns of Lawlessness.
 "In this crisis" Babson warned "a lapse by us into lawlessness would do more to degrade and damage the utilities than any attack by hostile critics .. It would be hailed as proof that some of the severest charges made against this industry are perhaps true.
 We public utility directors would be played right into the hands of Communists, Socialists, and Fascists by flouting the law at this critical time. How Can we expect radical groups to abide by demmocratic principles if we ourselves are to defy the law whenever it suits our con- yenience?
 "In spite of these taxes, restric- tions, and handicaps, all of us are better of than if we lived in any other country on the face of the globe. We ought to be thankful we are not inhabitants of Germany, Italy, Russia, Mexico, or any other nation, including England We should be grateful that we are liv- ing in the United States and hence should obey its laws"

DRAMA GUILD STAGES
1.-THE HARBOR LIGHT"
Owen Davis Play Turns Out to
Be a Rather Poor Vehicle
for Capable Actors.

The Drama Guild Of Washington
had bit of tough time last night.
First off, 20 minutes before curtain
time two scenery flats" which had
been hung up in the flies on piano
wire suddenly let go and crashed to
the stage, narrowly missing several
members of the stage crew. And then,
after the scenery had been repaired
and rehung, the acting members of
the Guild found themselves faced with
the task of playing Owen Davis 1.-THE
Harbor Light" which. before two
hours were up. they found to be some
what of a task
THE Harbor Light" is one of Mr..
Davis plays which never reached
Broadway, for which it is not eX-
tremely difficult to find a reason. In
spite Of the many clear-cut char
acter studies woven through the piece,
the plot seems to miss fire Contin-
ually, and instead of being drama,
turns out to be series of melodra-
matte events which amble aimlessly
to no destination. It's all about the
Bradfords and their family troubles.
About poor Minnie Bradford, who was
neurotic; about her brother who was
in love with the cobbler's daughter
and who finally ran away with the girl
after almost going to the penitentiary:
about Amy. Cora. Otis and Richard
Bradford. whose marital affairs
seemed to be more or less entangled:
about Grandma Bradford, who was
supposed to dominate the family, and
about little Hope Bradford. who, it
seems. was the incest of the crew.
mainly because she thought right
would live and wrong would die.
There also is a light-the harbor
Hght-which for some uncanny
reason shines on grandma when
ever she comes down the stairs. and
which is of no help in understand
ing Mr.. Davis motives.
No fault can be found with Louis
W. Curriers' direction nor with the
acting done by the cast. Mr. Currier
grouped the participants effectively
and gave the piece motion, but he
could not help the depressing theme.
Frances Brunt, doing the sort of a
job she has not heretofore under
taken, played superbly as young
Minnie. Ailene Sanford gave much
to her role as the grandmother. max
ing the elderly lady one of the few
likable characters in the play, and
Ruth Perrott turned in an admirable
performance.
Denis Connell offered another of
his excellent characterizations, play
Ing very sympathetically and pre-
ciSely the chap who was in love with
his brothers wife, and Harry E. Wes-
colt, neatly and with gusto, took the
role of the self-centered brother. John
Sikken came on for few moments
and turned in his usual finished per-
formance. Jane Plummer Rice,
Helena Cook, Francis Koonce, Fred
erick V. Rand and Thomas M. Cahill
were others in the large cast who did
much in the way of making their
minor roles stand out.
One of Edith I. Aliens sets, the
living room of the Bradford home
stead, is especially fine, and all the
others she designed are worthy of
note. All in all, the Drama Guild did
much better by THE Harbor Light"
than 'The Harbor Light" did by the
Drama Guild. The play will be re-
peated tonight at the Wardman Park
Theater. H. M.
