An up-to-the- minute comedy, pre-
sented for the first time on any stage,
is the next attraction at the Roadside
Theatre. The play is "Windmills In
Manhattan" and it is a amazingly
daring and clever satire on one Of our
"nobler institutions" advertising.
July 27 is the opening performance
and it will continue for two weeks.
What goes on behind the scenes OF
those million dollar promotion cam
uaiIns that set out to convince the
great American public that the pro-
duct advertised is an absolute neces-
sity. that its effectiveness is abso-
iutely astonishing, and that there Is
none other likke-such is the theme
of "Windmills In Manhattan"
When a modern Don Quixote sets
out to expose the evils of advertising
things begin to happen. And they
continue to happen, fast and furious
ly, throughout the entire play Inis
modern Quixote is a young artis''
i,,nior partner in large advertising
agency. He was not only a gooo

lures. -. E.,

By MONTCO

WHILE l HAVE NOT, personally,
been particularly enthused over GER
tain elements and personalities con-
nected with the New Deal, / have
been more or less of devotee to the
broad-minded, Jefferson-like princi-
ples of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Some
of you may act surprised because of
the analogy drawn between Roosevelt
and Jefferson. But there is no reason
to be doubtful of this particular figure

LIKE ROOSEVELT and CLEVE-
LAND, Jefferson and jackson made
some mistakes. he had his enemies
among those business tycoons. Jack
son was target for the bankers when
he attempted to bring about reforms
made necessary by the rapid growth
of the county. And yet, these hitch
hiking politicians and yacht-owners,
who build their fortunes with the aid
of $25 per week employees and can
well afford to Join the Liberty League
at $40 per plate, say "uh, for the
good old days OF Jefferson, jackson
and Cleveland"
This same group, i. e., the Liberty
Leaguers and their kindred g. .. r.
6nanciers, waxed fat and sassy when
Harding and uaugherty ruled the
nation. The oil and gasoline in those
days wouldn't burn nor run motor,
but, my, what vast fortunes were
amassed while the workers cussed out
their Fords and kicked the isinglass
out of their coal Oil stoves.

FIRST GAINING PROMINENCE
for his work in drafting the Declara-
ton of Independence, Jefferson was
the first great supporter of the rights
of the common people. He was very
much impressed by the liberal spirit
of the French Revolution, even to the
extent of flying the French tricolor
over his home at Monticello. He
greeted his neighbors and friends
with a Citizen" Perhaps there has
been no man since who more nearly
approximates Jefferson than Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Both thought in terms

form the backbone of any lasting civ

certainly among them.
At Eastertime, according to sta

of the good neighbor could not find
