Cantor'S new picture in produc-
ton, "Ali Bahia Goes to Town"
concerns what happens when New

A good many friends Of solemn

Ryskind musical satire, through
its impious attitude towards the
Supreme Court, planted the germ
which lowered in 1887 into a
national controversy.

Despite its saucy and outra.

the Pulitzer Prize Committee
anointed "Of Thee I Sing" in
these words:
This award may seem un-
usual, but the play is unusual.
Not only is it coherent and we'll
knit enough to class as a play,
aside from the music, but it is
a biting and true satire. on

course, the work is all the more
spontaneous for that, and has a
freshness and vitality which are
both unusual and admirable.
The play is genuine, and it is
felt the prize could not serve a
better purpose than to recognize
such work"
