Flqued Dy the success OF Work 1ors
which had predicted failure, i'm
portuned Mr.. Miller (who was then
tolerant with drama critics. to ex-
plain why he was able to see money
and kudos in it, while I was not.
Bending a little, for he was proud
man of the theater, he whispered,
"Clairvoyance is the most essential
thing in play production, and I have
a touch of it,.
AM recalled to this conversation
with Henry Miller by the triumph
of Gilbert Miller's presentation of
Victoria Regina" in which Miss
Helen Hayes is now appearing profit
ably to one and all at the Broadhurst.
To perceive, in Mr.. Laurence Hous-
mans quiet chain of library playiets
about Victoria, the possibilities of a
Broadway hit, required, think, more
than normal perception. 1t requires
the intuitive and hereditary sagacity
OF clairvoyant to peer beyond the
range of an ordinary impresarios eye
sight. and uncover values hidden to
all except the gifted few. For, as Mr..
Housman wrote it, Victoria Regina"
is sequence Of loosely connected,
slow-paced dialogues, written to be
read, not acted. Like Victoria's intel
lect, as described by the author, it is
sedentary, almost moribund, contain
ing none Of the usual ingredients that
inflame the playgoing emotions. Yet
it is now in its Stage-form, the SIM
plest, most comfortable and one of
the most prosperous dramatic items on
the varied and satiating- menu of
Longacre Square. And vying with it
is another example of showman's
subconscious cerebration-that af-
forded by Mr.. Max Gordon in his SOL
vent production of Pride and Preju-
dice" That enterprise. I daresay,
would have been undertaken by no
entrepreneur unless he knew that he
was endowed with the magic of pene-
trative second sight.
WHO, now, do you suppose, is our
first actress, Miss Cornell, Miss
Fontanne or Miss Hayes? Miss Cor
nell elects to be of the regal type,
friendly though aloof. disbursing her
rich favors from coast to coast like
great lady of the theater. Lofty and
distant, familiar and benevolent, she
has established herself as the most
majestic institution of the American
stage, a shrine in whicn any intelli-
gent drama worshipper may light his
candles. Miss Fontanne, as you have
seen her as the Shrew in the Guilds
Shakespearean harlequlnade. is both
artist and showwoman, depending. !
suspect, upon the moment to give her
audience pleasure, rather than upon
history to give her fame Miss Hayes,
a Democrat, distributing her esthetic
wares via the radio, the cinema and
the drama, is the most far-reaching
and influential of the three, and so. I
believe, she is entitled to be known. for
the present, at least, as our first
actress.
A S ONE who has been ringing the
hallelujah bells for Miss Hayes
acting ever since he was old enough to
clap a gong. I NAV be excused for
sounding a diSsonant note or two in
the general carlton. 1t has been said
that I once described Miss Hayes as
afflicted with fallen archneSs," de-
scription that I must have borrowed
from Haywood Broun or Mr.. Nathan.
Still it seems to be appropriate to her
performance in some of the scenes of
Victoria Regina" For instance that

League of Women Voters
Reflects Its President

I Support of more stringent food
and drug regulations was voted by
the convention, closing it's sessions
yesterday. Women are partly to
blame for the worthless and some
times dangerous foods and drugs
sold by INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
ers, delegates were told.
Speaking on women's responsible
ity in regard to consumer legisla-
ton, Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, Wash
ington, D. c., Leagues legislative
department chairman, said 1.-The
specific stake of consumers in an
economic system is difficult to
isolate"
There are instances where wom-
ems interest as consumers is OBJ
vious," she said. mo woman wishes
to waste the family income by buy
ing worthless or dangerous food,
drug, or cosmetic products"
No woman, she said, wishes to run
the risk of marring her personal
ractiveness or of counting serious
illness by the use of dangerous cos
metics or reducing products, yet she
has not persuaded Congress to enact
legislation which will give her the
information and protection to which
she is entitled.
Legislators aren't mind readers
and wishful thinking in govern
ment such as our is not enough
effective expression of the desires
of citizens is imperative" she said.
The problem is simple, Mrs. Bald
win said, but the actual legislation
necessary to solve it is difficult.
Women are inclined to be
swayed, first by the specious argu-
ments of the manufacturers who
wish to continue to sell practically
worthless foods, drugs, and cosmet-
les at exorbitant prices, and who
have no scruples about deluding the
public into believing that their prod
ucts are not dangerous to health;
second, by the arguments of those
idealists who claim that nothing
short of their idea of perfection in
legislation is acceptable"
