Civic Cast in
Gay Comedy

Summoning their best efforts
for a gay finishing touch to the
season, the Washington Civic
Theater players are concluding
with ely Away Home" a Vapld
comedy in three acts.
The play, authored by Dorothy
Bennett and Irving White, had a
successful run on Broadway for
an entire season a couple of years
ago, but somehow or other last
nights performance at the Ward
man Park Theater lacked the
spark to make this play the scin-
tillating comedy it purportS to be-.
Members of the cast of the Civic
Theater put forth their best eff
forts to infuSe spirit of gaiety
and enthusiasm into their produc-
ton, with several of the players
giving outstanding performances.
The story concerns itself with a
family of mother, father, four chill
dren and mothers boy friend, a
college professor who has notions
about modern life, love and parent
child relationships.
The result of the professors
teachings among the children of
the family and Daddy'S reaction
when he comes home after IL
years separation from his flock
create the entire plot of the play,
and, incidentally, provide several
good laughs.
Although the first two acts of
the play move slowly, the last act
picks up esprit, with the return Of
more conventional ideas to mem
bers of a slightly erractic house
hold.
Ely Away Home" is the eighth
and last play of the Civic Theatcr
season, and will be presented
through Friday night.

Why l. yn c h j N g .
Occur

The records show only five lyn-
chings In the history OF the State
OF Michigan
While that Is better record
than many states have. five Inch
ings are still i've too many for any
state in this supposedly civilized
and well-ordered Country.
And yet mnbs are liable TO take
the law into their own hands. at
any time and anywhere the sta
tutes or their enforcement falls
short OF what aroused public feel
ing believes adequate in aggrava-
ted cases OF murder or rape
Washtenaw County barely es-
capped lynehing few years ago
in case of rape and murder. and
Wayne County escaped one Sunday.
when sheriff's deputies saved from
mob vengeance a man identified as
the ravishcr OF several women.
This particular man was SEN
fenced for rape In 1925 and re-
leaseh after having served nine and
half TO ten years term in the
penitentiary.
As long as the law deals thus
leEiently with criminal attacks on
women. as long as spineless jur-
les take the part OF sex Offenders,
as long as the lack OF capital pun
isirment makes II possible to return
rapists to human society. we must
expect threats Of lynching 10 BE-
made
And some day hoiheaded and
reseniful element of the population
may make good its threat
A state Is no more disrraccd b.,
lynchings, than by the failure as
enact and enforce laws for thr
punishment OF heinous crimes.
which satisfy The public idea OF
what the perpetrators OF thos"
crimes deserve.
