the acting would require extended

His failure probably is due to the
literalness with which he follows the
procedure of those get-togethers in
which good neighbors turn out to be
more human than divine At such
sessions it is the practice to talk, talk
talk. Mr.. Reade, even though he seeks
to lampoon the pattern, follows it too
closely. Between the barbS which he
shoots into the lacquered form of
international relations, there are
Wordy wastelandS which cast and
audience travel much too unhappily
together.
You do not sit through many of
the moments created by Mr. Reade,
however, without an aWareneSS of his
courage. Russia may have lost many
an encounter at other and more sig
nilcant conference tables, but not at
Leslie Reade's. There she meets the
united front of the nations classified
as capitalist" Until the very end it
appears that the odds against the U. S.
S. r. are lnSuperable. Then comes
the denOuement in the form of a Spir-
1tual as we'll as material victory for
the representatives of communism.
That is something to make ar audi
ence like, but there was enough ap-
plause after the final curtain of His
Excellency' to indicate some approval
of Mr.. Reade's intrepidity. He dared
to give Russia a break and the audi
ence gave him one in return. One
suspected, however, that the cheers
were more for his spirit than for
his art.
IF MR.. READE is right, the word
diplomacy is the synonym of

boy Meets Glrl is ABOUT hollywood,
that it ridicules the producers and
laughs at the cinema stars, gives the
song writer's an off-key tinge and is
rabid anent the agents.
While driving spikes straight through
the old film formulas Of Higher Art,
the Spewack masterpiece of ribaldry
manages to string along pleasant,
conventional story of its own, ending
with the right people marrying each
other and the wrong people con-
demned to go on being forever wrong.
If it had no more plot than cat has
umbrellas, however, boy Meets Girl"
would be momentarily immortal be-
cause Of its magnificent parodies OF
film "trailers" and high-powered mo-
ton picture production. Its hilarious
gags must also be nominated for the
hall of fame, and the characters of two
script writer's devoted to the fine art
of ribbing everything probably repre-
sent the Deeper Spirit Of Hollywood
more accurately than anything ever
said about the place.
Thoroughly Satisfactory.
While many customers were disap-
pointed in the road company which
first brought this playlet to town in
December, the players now at the Ma
tional are thoroughly satisfactory.
The action hinges on the fate of four
or five persons and an imaginary
baby, and I would say the principal
characters were all extremely we'll
presented, including even the myth
cal infant.
Credit for this fact belongs to Clin-
ton Sundberg, the major comedian of
the piece; Betty Field whose Susie
is superb; Larry Fletcher as fading
herman of the celluloid business, and
Frank Fenton in the role Of a college
man lost in the strange world Of
cinema production. Donald MacDon-
aid, Nigel Blake and Sidney Andrews
were others who turned in credible
performances.

For some unknown reason some

something bizarre always seemed
to happen to Bobby Jones from
the time he was IA at Merton in
1916 up through 1880.
Whether he won, lost or tied,
there was always human inter-

the chunky kid went to the last

There was the penalty he called

The top spot, of course, was
Gene Sarazens 2 at the par
480-yard fifteenth hole in the 1885
masters open, when he needed
three brides to tie Craig Wood
and got them all on one shot from
a close, rain-soaked lie.
There was Craig Woods shot at
the tenth, where his drive left him
stymied by thick pine forest, 200
feet deep. He had no chance to
play for safety-he took 500-to-1
gamble on getting through-the
ball slipped through, or by, hun
dred pines, hit the last one and
dropped feet from the cup for a
birdie 3.

a record. How can one of the best
OF the pros vary more than stroke
hole from one round to another?
There were Horton Smiths two
miracle finishes with the putter-
in 1884 and again in 1886, when he
needed two brides and got them
in a row near the finish, holing
two l5-footers over greens of run
