The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-08

Washington, Oct. 8-Far-sighted Republican politicians, who couldn't keep their minds off 194O even if they tried, cast frequent sideglances at Thomas E. Dewey of New York Dewey is famous in the east as
 the special prosecutor who has broken up vice and other rackets in New York city. He is now running for district attorney of
 New York on the same ticket with Mayor F. H. LaGuardia. A spec
 tacular reform district attorney in
 the metropolis would be an ob-
 viOuS good Republican bet for the
 gOvernorship, timber being as
 scarce as it is, and nearly any Republican governor of New York would be a strong candidate for presidential nomination.
 All this would require some fast going, however, and MT. Dewey is long shot in an obstacle race Tammany still has many jobs and privileges and the nightmare ot MT. Dewey making hay for him. salf by busting up Tammany rackets in district after district is calculated to bring all the picker ing groups in that once powerful machine together in an effort tc smother him.
 Dewey runs only in the Tam
 many stronghold of Manhattan
 and not in the adjacent bOrOughS.
 Thus he is considered to have a poorer chance than LaGuardia. Furthermore, the Republicans figure, Postmaster General Jim Farley has his mind set on running for governor next year and can be depended upon to do all he can to keep Tammany from being dis credited and Dewey from being built up.
 Klan Revival FIOps
 Any extent to which the Ku Klu2 Klan has gathered recruits in its reported membership drive of the last few weeks will be disclosed by the LaFollette Civil Liberties com mittee, according to present plans. Meanwhile, reports on attempts to revive the Klan here and there irl- dicate results have been nothing to get excited about. The most con- spicuous attempt, growing out of the rubber strike at Akron, Ohio, was complete flop.
 The committee is especially in- terested in efforts to use the KIan as weapon against organized Ia- bor and It's inquiry in that direc- tion is part of a general study of "vigilante" organizations, their ac- tivities and financing. Prelimi-
 nary checks indicate that the Klan only appears occasionally now as a local phenomenon.
 The first local investigation will be at Tampa, Fla. where one la bor organizer was killed by 8 tar- ring and flogging which also was inflicted on two others.
 Look for Third Term Race
 Subconsciously, at least, there's an obvious tendency among most Democrats and most Republicans to assume the likelihood of a Roose- welt third term candidacy in 1940 But there is absolutely no dope on this subject, aside from the fact that Roosevelt deliberately has avoided committing himself on it. Recent huddlcs of Republicans
 here and elsewhere have revealed
 the fact that most G. o. P. leaders
 are thinking in terms which indi-

Does 1t

The washington Civic Theater
is doing "The Front Page" this
week. They're really doing it.
Opening last night at Wardman
Park Theater, the Civic groups
production of the Charles Mac
Arthur-Ben Hecht ripsnorter about
newspaper reporters and the
drama they fall into occasionally
was played to what is sometimes,
and maybe rightly, called the hilt.
That is to say, it was played.
Really, it was.
The writer of this notice just
happens, to know nearly all about
those people Mr.. Macarthur and
Mr.. Hecht wrote about in their
play. Also, having happened to
know Mr.. Hecht and Mr.. Mac
Arthur, this same writer believes
he knows their intent in the writ
ing Of the play.
So, what?
"The Front Page" as produced
under the direction of Mr.. Day
Tuttle, is real, even including its
slapstick. Previous productions Of
the Civic Theater Group have been
to the high credit of Mr.. Tuttle,
but certainly none ranked higher
than does this one in which news
paper folk would be first to point
to flaws.
The story of '"The Front Page"
shan't be bothered about here.
For 1t is of a sort one may pass
by with a mere who careS?"
All that must needs be said
nice, trite phrases-is that it's
very lively and very robust and
in no sense sweet.
But there are a few words
that need be said about the
actors.
Charles Barry, as Hildy John.
son (and we knew him well in
real life), was really-quite!-
Hildy Johnson. So, also, H. H.
Bratsburg's McCue (almost spelled
it right, McHugh) Ralph H. Thay-
er'S Sheriff Hartman, and Arthur
Westover's Walter Burns. eve
always knew him as Howey0
AS for the women in the cast,
honors have to go to Margery
Rice for her Molly Malloy-one
hard baby!
But none short Of second was
Lois Alexander as Mrs. Grant.
For 1t must be noted, here, that
the part was taken by Miss Alex
ander on only a few hours no
tice and she went into it without
a rehearsal, "pinch-hitting" in
the emergency for Betty Clark,
who was i'll. But who would know
that, except one on the inside?
Dorothea Lewis did her Gus,
tomary good job with the role
of Hildy's sweetheart, Peggy
Grant. Lola Boswell as Mrs.
SchloSSer, was also outstanding
And the others of the cast met
the requirements in excellent
fashion.

ought to see it. w. AHL.

and friendless children" and though
it Is today largely supported by people
of German birth and ancestry, yet
1t is German orphan home in name
only, for the German language is not
taught there and there is no restriction
as to who shall be admitted, provided
they come within the scope and rules
which are comparable to those of any
well-regulated orphan asylum.
From the beginning the home was
maintained in rented quarters. and,
naturally, for this and for running
expenses money was needed and hence
call for finances was sent out. The
Schuetzenverein, which conducted
such wonderful affairs at its park on
Seventh street road (now Georgia
avenue), was one Of the first to re-
spond for assistance. and next came
the German Benevolent Association,
and others soon followed. Simon Wolf

other words, he was Of the same tree.

also made it plain that his family
was one Of the few families in that

His talk was interesting and his

pleasing because it kept within the
bounds of facts, and showed no un-
due sectional coloring. Tire writer
congratulated Mr.. Mudd and he takes
pleasure in doing so again.
