a successful deal with the ticket brok-
ers and subsequent sale to the mo-
ton pictures should have triumphant
careers, while dramas with lofty pur-
poses wither and die, that reviewers
who are crusading idealists at heart
feel something should be done about
it. There is, however, more than a
wistful idealism behind the critical
respect for high purposes. Dramas
written out of lofty and courageous
aspiration, whether artistic or social,
are likely to possess a certain in
tegrity that gives them, even amid
their possible frailties, stature and feel
ing. Playwrights who shoot at the
moon often bring down trace OF
grandeur even when they miss their
mark
Nevertheless, even though there Is
every reason for respecting good in
tentions and being swayed a bit by
them, the problem of Just how far
this swaying should 60 remains a COM
pick one. A criticism Of motives Is at
least as difficult as criticism of es-
thetics, and when the two are inter-
mingled quite bit of unraveling is
required.
MY GUESS is, however, that the
professional observers of the the
ater in this vicinity still keep their
preoccupation with esthetics in the
foreground, trait, I gather, which
is not desired in their hapless COL
leagues of Nazi Germany. Anyway,
there have been two anti-war plays
although perhaps I shouldn't bring up
the subject so close to a reference to
our pals, the NaZis-in New York this
season, and both of them surely had
the handsomest of intentions. One
was, of course, Johnny Johnson" and
the other is s'Red Harvest" which
Brock Pemberton has just presented
as his third Offering of the year. In
Johnny Johnson" you may remem-
Der, Paul Green, the author, set up
the character of a simple, natural
man, a sort Of inspired idiot, whose
innocent honesty so contrasted with
the guileful stupidity Of military bu-
reaucracy that he brought the entire
institution of warfare into scornful
disrepute. Red Harvest" on the
other hand, is an account of the hard
ships endured and the sufferings wit
messed by group of Red Gross nurses
at the front in 1918.
THE one play laughed at war for its
cretinish stupidity; the other cries
out at the cruelties it inflicted on
mankind. Now, it is frequently said by
those who worship a sense of humor
above all things that laughter is the
proper medium for scourging an evil
out Of existence-that, in fact, one
reason for the lack Of success of radical
propagandists is their failure to in
clude this highly priced sense Of
humor in their equipment.
But, as Richard Lockridge has
already pointed out in the New York

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
@--BY BRACE E. JARRETT--y Marquard Beat Sallee to 0, Giving His Old Team-
 mates But Two Hits
June 21, 1918, at. Brooklyn

June 2I, 1918, at Brooklyn
 (This is the best pitching perform ance ever to take place on any 2lst day of June.)
 Seldom has a better brand of pitching been in evidence than that displayed by Rube Marquard, when, pitching for Brooklyn against his old cronies, the Giants, he shut them out, to o. with two hits These were made by Zimmerman in the 2nd and Holke in the 5th. . Just twenty eight men faced Rube, as not another Giant besides Zimmerman and Holke reached base, and "Heinie" was erased in a double play.
 "Slim" Sallee, himself, did neat job of twirling, allowing the Dodgers only five hits, all singles, and, but for a wild toss by Zimmerman in the 7th, Sallee would have forced the game into extra innings, in spite of Marquard's great work.
 Olson bunted safely along the third base line to open the 7th. Daubert also dumped slow roller toward Zimmerman, who came in on the run and, scooping up the ball, made quick throw high over Holke's head, Olson going all the way homee from first on the over- throw, for the only run of the game.
 NOTE: George Foster, of the Red Sox, shut out the Tanks, to 0. without a hit, on this date in 1916; but he allowed three to reach base on walks as against the two by Marquard on singles, Rube having this slight advantage for the best game hurled on this date.

New England
 Sports Shots of Keen Interest
BY ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Stan Correspondent

Boston June 21-U.P)-Hanging the Monday wash along the New England sports line:
 You can't pass street corner in this mans town without overhear- ing talk of a Red Sox pennant maybe the boys have got something there-we hope.
 "Carelessly" would have been an appropriate theme song for the Sox in the second sabbath tilt with Cleveland anyway, that's how the Hub hose acted after getting of to 50 lead they subsequently, blew with chances to add to their margin, the boys attempted bit of base stealing that didn't work they also got sloppy afleld
 Victory in the first game of the twin bill stretched Boston's win streak to six-the longest since Tom Yakey bought the club in 1883 then, of course, 1t had to be a former Red Seeker who snapped the string we mean Moose Solters, who whacked out a double and triple that produced three tallies.
 Big Test
 An exhibition game at Hartford today will determine whether Bob Teller is ready to take his regular turn on the mound for Cleveland the Van Meter Merriwell says he has recovered from an elbow in- jury suffered while playing around with tractor on his pappy's Iowa farm.
 When Yale and Harvard clash at Cambridge Wednesday, two former American League rivals will be on opposite sides of the field whooping 1t up for their offsprings two decades ago Eddie Collins was with the Philadelphia Athletics and Dave Shean with the Boston Red Sox now, Eddie Jr., is carrying on the Collins baseball tradition as an Eli while Dave Jr., Is doing ditto at Harvard.
