subject Of an animated discussion
by a group of law students. Many
observers had compared the situa-
ton in the play to a possible after
math of the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
Bostonians familiar with the many
aspects of the famous trial and its
resulting political complications
took a special interest in references
to Anglo-Saxon trial formulas. The
law students we're then accorded an
extra hearing backstage by mem
bers of the cast.
When the moving pictures were
mentioned Mr.. Meredith became
enthusiastic about his prospects in
Hollywood. "Winterset" has been
sold to RKO and production is to
begin sometime in July. Several
members of the cast have been
signed with Meredith to appear IN
the cinema version.
Critics Debate Storms
This first modern poetic tragedy
has revived some interesting argu-
ments as to its place in the theater.
The author himself believes with
Goethe that dramatic poetry is
mans greatest achievement on his
earth so far" and that "the best
prose in the world is inferior on
the stage to the best poetry"
Mr.. Anderson's critics, of course,
are not quite as positive. They have
made obvious gestures of approval
by selecting "Winterset" as their
favorite and by variously labelling
this particular poetic outburst
"heady stuff" "sully beauty and
"a courageous poem to justice and
integrity" But sharp perusal of
their critiques will, in almost every
instance, reveal some underlying
feeling about this medium in gen.
eral.
One of the sages wrote that
"Winterset" was an experiment
in bringing poetry and realism to-
gether." Robert Benchley said in
The New Yorker, "the next time :.
my vote will go to a play that is
written in the vulgate. Or, if not in
the vulgate, then in high-class
prose-" Now the critics themselves
seem to be experimenting and feel
ing their ways.
Before critics saw his play, the
author observed that doubt would
be expressed in this "sge of prose
by prose writer's who wish to
believe there is no limit to the
scope of the form they have mast
cred"
Such utterances are weapons for
what may prove to be an interest
ing and stimulating brawl. Weap-

CLIFFORD ODETS, New York
dramatist who suddenly found him
self successful when his play,
Awake and Sing" caused a sensa-
ton, is in Hollywood. He has writ
ten the screen version of "The Gen
eral Died at Dawn" which is in
production. We found him a.siient
locker on" at set which is a
small billiard room in a Shanghai
hotel.
"This may appear to be just a
game of billiards but it is an i'm
portant scene in the story" he said.
"a group of men are going to plan
a murder over game. Those hang
ing lights over the table are going
to throw the light on just the lower
half of the mems faces, the upper
half being in shadow, giving the eff

to write a play.
Il have arranged with the Group
Theater in New York for an early
fall production. The theater has
many advantages over the screen
and visa versa. The screen is the
directors paradise; they take the
actors body and do with it as they
will. The theater belongs to the
actor. But I must admit a ire
mendous satisfaction in having
written a screen adaptation and in
being able to follow, day by day, its

25 persons and smashing proper
ty.
Reports of deaths from the sud
den twister, could not be confirm
ed as police and ambulances were
able to make their way into the
area darkened by the storm and
Uttered by debris.
The emergency ward at Jack
son Memorial hospital was crowd
ed with victims, suffering from
slight bruises and cuts. None was
seriously hurt, apparently, al
though the staff was so busy car
ing for injured that ~ accurate
immediate check was made diff
ficult.
The temporary structures erect

tanned the heaviest property loss.
Total damage there was placed at
at least $4,000.
Likewise, most of the injured
were reported from the same sec
ton. More than $50 persons were
at work at the fair preparing for
opening today, which had been
postponed Monday because Of
shee:ing rain.
The tornado, skipping about
over the southwest section Of
well-built expensive and careful
ly-shrubbed homes to the north
west section where houses are
less securely constructed, picked
on the fairs midway for one of
its thrusts.
Two ferris wheels were twisted

shredded. A merry-go-round and

ished.
