Handwriting on the political wall as re-
vealed in last weeks councilmanic election at
Seattle might be interpreted by modern
Daniel as foretelling destruction of the pres
ent-day political Belshazzars and their king
.doms of socio-economic sophistry built upon
the shifting sands of momentary prejudices
-of unthinking voters. When political un-
knowns are elected by large majorities over
such strongly -intrenched incumbent council
men as Levine. the labor leader, Gaines, the
machine politician, and Fits, wheelhorse of
the John C. Stevenson Chariot means
something! The people refuse longer to be
fooled.
Messrs. Fits, Gaines and Levine have
their own particular PHILOSOPHERS, their own
ideas of exalting the proletariat.
Evidently Seattle voters are fed up.
This is the first tangible sign of COM
plete political overthrow at 1886 election in
Washington State. If Mr.. Fits can be de-
feated so decisively it means that Mr. Stew
enson is no longer likely to be the next Gov
enor. ~
Nor is this result-wholly unexpected
by most people-devoid of national signifi-
canoe for 1886 The American people are
waking up. There is no longer magic in the
words "new deal."-Business Chronicle.

BOTH SAD AND FUNNY
Director Clarence Brown, who
went to Grafton, Mass, for his
real life backgrounds, proves that
the location journey was we'll
worth while. For there he found
oak covered streets, a town square
and park, and all the suburban
charm that gives this affecting
story its overpowering verisimili-
tude.
There isn't, Of course, much
plot substance to the O'Neill
story. Rather is it a peering into
the home life of the Nat Millers,
and particularly the younger gen.
Grafton who are cropping for the
truth. Nat Miller, a country news
paper publisher, finds that his
young Richard, just graduating
from high school, is at the trying
age.
The lad reads Swinburne and
Oscar Wilde, has great faith in
George Bernard Shaw and Omar
Khayyam. Richard, indeed, feels
that the older folks have never
lived, don't know what life is all
about. When he sends his sweet
heart passionate poetry, gets tight
for the first time, he precipltates
a family problem for his dad. 1t
is in adjusting this young love
tangle that the story generates its
strongest appeal.
The authenticity of the chal.
acter types in "Ah Wilderness"
gives it tang. There is the adoring
mother of Spring Byington, the

BARRYMORE SUPERB
Surround these with a Stanley
steamer automobile, a village band
concert and Fourth OF July cele-
bration, a commencement with
stiffly starched girls and Sunday
suit boys doing their platform
best, a village road house. and
you have a cross section Of coun-
try life in 1905.
Eric Linden gets much the best
of the script revision for his role
of Richard is built up to be the
most important Of the picture.
His is a beautiful and affecting
acting Job. Lionel Barrymore Gin
the role played originally by
George M. Cohan) fails to make
as much of the comedy inherent
in Nat Miller as Mr.. Cohan
achieved. Nevertheless, the Barry
more performance is something to
cherish and is minus much of the
mannerismS usually associated
with this star.
Wallace Beery is the only one
of the cast who treSpasSes from
the mood of the playwright. HIS
Sid is more of a drunken lout and
rowdy rather than the pathetic
slave to the bottle habit that
ONeill wrote into the script. To
be truthful, it has the usual Wauy
Beery touches, and they don't be-
long here.
