IL hdeed, quite well enough to reflect,
credit upon themselves and Director
Day Tuttle. Even Aristophanes has
no serious complaint, merely grum-
bla at the minor failure Of this player
or that to get the rich flavor Of
one of his characters
It was a robust idea which Aris-
tophanes had when he thought to get
the ancient Greeks out OF the trenches
by Christmas through the act of writ
ing "Lysistrata." And Gilbert Seldes,
bringing 1t up to our times, pulled
none of Aristophanes punches.
The robust idea, in case you are
not familiar with it. Is that women
hold the key to peace. All they need
do, If you believe Aristophanes, is to
suspend or revoke their husbands
marriage licenses until they stop fight
ing and agree to perpetual serenity
between nations.
Obviously. it is the kind of thing
that requires intelligent playing and
keen direction to keep it In the cere-
bral zone. Well, at least reasonably
close. That's where it was kept last
night In spite of the fact that Aris-
tophanes gave the cast enough rope
to hang nine-tenths of the amateur
actors in the country. On only one
or two occasions did any member of
Mr.. Tuttles cast unwittingly take ad-
vantage Of Aristophanes' generosity.

"A ND the audience loved It. Even
the slips 1t laughed at the
audacity Of Aristophanes. 1t guffawed
at the equivocation of the women
asked to be faithful to an ideal at
the sacrifice OF fidelity to their mar
riage vows 1t hoWled at the battles
between the young women and the
young women, between the young
women and their husbands, between
the young women (what scrappers
those Greek matronsD and the old
men. And, above all, it roared at the
martyrdom represented in the alb
stemious way of life decreed by the
Greek wives as the cure for war.
Some of the lines set for the largest
laughs. and some Of the gestures, too,
are difficult to do with a straight face.
And the players did not always do
them with straight face. 1t did not
happen often, but when 1t did the play
naturally was not benefited.
Aristophanes did not stint on char
acters when he wrote "Lysistrata." He
gave virtually every amateur actor in
town his chance last night.

as the leader of the old Women's

stalwart Lampito and one with great

PLANS HAWAII
FARM REFORMS
Studies Look Toward Self
Suficiency in Any
Emergency

HONOLULU, June 26. (UP)-
With the Hawaiian islands pro-
ducing only Is per cent of their
own food supply, Major-General
Hugh A. Drum, commanding the
Hawaiian department of the us.
army, has begun the study of a
project for making the islands
self-sufficient should the emer-
gency ever arrive through an en-
envy attack.
General Drum believes that the
question of feeding the 100000
inhabitants of the islands is eS-
sentially one of the problems Of
adequate military defense.
Due to the fact that virtually
al of the cultivable land of the
islands is given over to the two
great money making crops OF suG--
ar cane and pineapples, little OF
it remains available for the cult
walton of other crops.
One of General Drums ideas
which he is endeavoring to foster
is that the plantation workers
should be allowed to cultivate an
acre or two for produce for their
own consumption which would IN
crease materially the domestic
food supply. Normally, Hawan has
less than two months supply Of
food stuffs on hand at any one
time. General Drum feels that
this should be increased by local
production as a safeguard, should
the islands ever be blockaded by
an enemy fleet. -.
The necessity of something be-
ing done along this line was en-
phasized in the early part of the
wear, when the maritime strike on
the Pacific coast cut off all sup
niles from the mainland and
threatened seriously the limited
stocks that are normally on hand
there.
Even without waiting, however,
for the planters to take some ac-
ton toward allowing part of their
land to be planted to foodstuff,
General Drum has created a new
department in the army in Ha-
wall, known as the service COM
mand which eventually Will Tor
mulate plans for emergency farm
ing should the necessity ever
arise. The officers detailed to the
service command are making de-
tailed studies of the agricultural
conditions and possibilities thru
out the entire group Of islands
