SATURDAY.

'Hansel and Gretel," the
play, not the opera, will be pre-
Sented at the National Theater
this coming Saturday morning
at 1890 o'clock.
'Hansel and Gretel," the Ger
man version of Babes In the

title the world over. 1t is one
of the very few fairy stories to
be made into an opera of suf-
ficient Importance to be given
at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York, and in
others in Europe of equal
prominence.
Such stories as "HanSel and
Gretel" are so definite a part
of international culture that
they must of necessity be in
cluded in the American child'S
reading.

the world at war and Uncle Sam
trying to sail the perilous sea
Of neutrality. Playwright How
ard lets us peer into the home
of a pioneer Middle Western
family and see what happens
to the liberals and sincere advo-
Gates of peace when plunged
into conflict with those who
see profit and glory in war.
The action of the play occurs
in the library of the home of
the late John Garrison, now
occupied by his war-widowed
daughter-in-law. Mrs. Paul Gar
rison. It is Christmas Day and
some of the spirit Of the Prince
of Peace creeps into this scene
Of merriment.
FINE BARRYMORE ROLE
1t soon develops that the Gar
rison Dye and Tool Works is on
the verge of bankruptcy because
of its fealty to the American
policy of strict neutrality. Or
ders have been cancelled and
the profits, which have been
supporting the liberal newspaper
of Robert Garrison, threaten to
disappear. There is the alterna-
tive of winking at the law and
selling what the warning nations
want, and the prostitution of
honest editorial opinion to serve
the war lords. The Garrisons
reject thoughts of such relief
as monstrous.
Into this troubled perspective
comes James Madison eleven
ger, chain newspaper publisher,
covert dictator of government
policy, and an old Suitor Of Sara
Garrison. He is piloted on his
air journeys by his illegitimate
son, Steve Andrews, a daring
and adventurous aviator.

visit upsets the conventional
routine in the Garrison house

Sara Garrison discernS a way
out is to marry Publisher Clev-
enger. AS she puts it, first she
thought she would, then she
thought she couldn't, then she
thought she might as well. 1t is
a bitter blow to the elder Garri-
sons. Sara hopes to guide the
editors pen.
DIGGES AS PUBLISHER
Meanwhile, Publisher eleven
ger decides the way to help the
Garrison financial distress is to
abandon his neutrality policy,
rally the nation to patriotic
fervor by appeals to national
honor and planned flag waving.
With war on the horizon the
Garrison profits will zoom once
more.
Yankee Doodle" goes into
melodramatic strata to ruth
lesSly expose Clavenger as a
circulation-mad tycoon ready to
sacrifice his own reputation for
more profit, to extricate Sara
Garrison from a marriage pros
pect that could be little less
than repulsive.
AS for America, it is left 18
months before the beginning OF
the next world war, all ready
to take a hand. The Garrisons,
you feel, still have their heavy
problems.
This skillfully chosen Theater
Guild cast guides the drama
through seven scenes, sometimes
cluttered with loose fragments
about the "isms" and unemploy-
ment, but invariably gathering
force and fire when its princl-
pal players have the floor.
GOOD OOAAO NAOA
Ethel Barrymore, looking radi-
antly lovely, makes Sara Garrl-
son a woman of compelling
charm, of eloquent logic, Of ma
ternal devotion. She plays with
quiet ease, lending the utmost
value to some of the playWr1ghtS
choicest lines, reServing for the
closing moments of tenseness
those emotional powers capable
of yelling real salty tears. Bril-
liant is the word for the Barry
more performance.
OF equal importance and con-
vincing is the role of the bonn
bastic and hypocritical pub
Usher, Clevenger, as projected
by Dudley Digges. This Theater
Guild veteran has been con-
genially fitted to a part rich IN
opportunity, played with under
standing and skill.
The care-free aviator Is pre-
sented with diarming breezlness
by Russell Hardie and Frank
Conroy's portrait of a disturbed
industrialiSt always has the
ring of reality. Ethel 1tropidl,
Katheryn ComegyS, Eliot Cabot
Barbara Robbins and George
Nash are worthy in the other
important roles.
A touch of sentiment sur
rounds the casting of John
Drew Devereaux as Roger Gar
rison. He is the cousin Of Miss
Barrymore and calls her Aunt
Ethel. Young Devereaux lives
up to the acting tradition OF a
great acting family, is thorough.
" engaging in his role that
highlights the viewpoint OF ad.
venturous youth.
The single setting provided by
Woodman Thompson is Of arlS-
tocratic richness and John
Cromwell's direction is ever
smooth. All combine to make
"Ghost of Yankee Doodle" a
most enjoyable session with. the
adult drama.

FINE COMMUNITY COOPERATION

Never has this community displayed a finer ex- ample of whoe-hearted community cooperation than during the two weeks quarantine which ended at midnight last Today youngsters are about the town again, grownups are resuming more generally their normal activities; Monday classes will be re- sumed in the schools. Juneau is back in its usual healthy active condtion-and because the people of this community both youngsters and odsters have observed quarantine regulations strictly and defeated that dreaded disease infante paralysis.
 We feel that a word of praise is due the parents who have seen to it that their children observed the regulations: the youngsters who have done their prison" stint without than usual youthful pro test and the authorities who have carried out the regulations to the letter The Police Department has done an excellent job of keeping youngsters off the streets when they chanced to- stray away from the parental eye The few reported violations are trivial when it is considered that not arrest was neces- sary in this city of some 75OO persons.
 And it cannot be overlooked that the Juneau mer- chants who economically suffered the worst, took their losses like good soldiers without grumbe, kept up their normal fine service and cooperated to the fullest
 The quarantine is AS result of the CO., operative spirit of this community and the watchfu eye of health authorities the disease is apparently over.
