OF Noel Coward outside the National
Iheater. There We're those Coward
enthusiasts in the community who re-
garded that as an extremely gracious
gesture, sort of characteristic gall
lantry, on the part of Mr.. Coward
And, despite the billing and probably
because it was easier to say, every one
went on saying Noel Coward and
Gertrude Lawrence"
In spite of an admiration for Mr..
Coward's versatility which becomes
boresomely vocal upon the slightest
provooation, we always had a dis
tinct feeling that on their last oc-
casion together his debt to her was a
little bit the greater. The cycle of
one-act plays was a deft and fascinat-
ing theatrical thing. 1t showed
Coward in one of his most varied
guises. But it also revealed Miss
Lawrence as vastly the more ac-
complished of the pair when it
came to the fine art of interpreting
Coward plays to Coward audiences.
There were moments, indeed, when
one had the feeling everything might
have looked pretty frothy and silly if
she had not been in there to keep the
mood precisely as the playwright in
tended.
No one recognizes the great ability
OF Miss Lawrence more thoroughly, or
speaks of it more enthusiastically.
than Coward. He can see no insur-
mountable obstacle to her becoming
the greatest actress on the English
speaking stage. She has the talent,
the training and the experience for it.
And one can think of no one better
qualified to fill the position with
better balance of impishness and
grace than Miss Lawrence.

temporarily. But, SO far as we are
concerned, it still brings to Washing
ton the easier one of the two to inter-
view.
1t is not that Coward is at all diff
cult. He talks easily and well, just
as one would expect, even if he gets
off none of the extraordinarily merry
quips with which his stage dialogue
abounds.
But it still is great deal more fun
to talk to Miss Lawrence. When
she turns her mind to anything from

much tragedy is taking place in
actuality that longing for escape
to the greener, gayer fields of the
theater's most willful fantasy might
seem even more sensible than usual.
The world, as we know it, gives every
sign of collapsing about our ears.
Both Europe and Asia are bursting
into baleful flames. Spain is the
scene of cruel fratricidal and inter-
national strife; China is the arena
for the most desperate attack upon
Celestial culture in what is literally
ages; Russia has become again a mys-
terious cauldron; Germany and Italy
rumble ominously; Great Britain
drifts into the twilight of empire, and
the Mediterranean once more sees
the scurrying Of pirate craft. Even
placid America echoes with the
alarums of industrial warfare Only
the theater seems a refuge for peace
and dreaming.
If an ivory tower were all that a
weary populace cried out for the stage
would seem to have no rival in all
the wide world and the success of its
season would be assured. The screen,
bent as it IS on supplying escapist
entertainment, would have no chance
as successful competitor, as it Is
impossible to attend a motion-picture
theater without encountering grim
newsreel films of destruction and
death in Madrid or Shanghai The
world crisis finds its way even into
detective stories, and it takes much
hasty shifting of the dials to keep your
radio from telling you Of the mad
ness of nations. But it happens that
escape is not as completely desirable
as it might be- Conditions in this
troubled universe may be ugly, stupid
and cruel, but they are also ire
sistibly exciting. Life may be a tale
told by an idiot, signifying something
even worse tnan nothing, but 1t IS
intensely dramatic, bitterly absorbing.
Fascinated by the sight Of so much
blood and destruction and horror, we
may want to turn our heads TO
thought of gentle fancy, but We cam
not resist the sight Of civilization in
flames or bring ourselves to the con-
temptation Of anything less epic in

A GREAT GENTLEMAN
(The Minneapolis JournaD


From his retirement in Switzerland,
the one time director of govern
mental affairs in Poland has broken
silence in protest against policies
now being followed, that he fears
will lead his country into civil war;
The people of the United States know
Ignace Paderewski as musician and
great artist. They know him also,
but more remotely, as that most ex-
traordinary of persons, one in whom
great artistry is combined with po-
litical acumen, administrative abil-
ity, qualities of constructive states
manShip. So ASSOCIATED are these
things, in mans ordinary make up,
that when Paderewski first came into
political prominence in Poland, in the
troubled times that were an after
math of the World War, many Won
dered if it could be the same man
they had heard on the concert plat
form in America.
Now Paderewski, 76 years old, is
described by Anne O'Hare McCor-
mick, writing in the New York Times,
as still supple in mind and body,
with imaginativeness and sensitive
ness that are almost a sixth sense.
He is a nationalist, possessed by the
idea of a free and better Poland.
At his distance from it, he is con-
cerned about the continuing curtail-
ment of personal liberty. Poland is a
poor country, economically speaking.
Its living standards compared with
our own are low. 1t has been de-
scribed as a erich country of poor
people" It's geographic position in
Europe has made it fighting ground
for centuries.
Paderewski, this woman writer
thinks, all qualities of heart and
mind considered, is the great gentle
man of Europe" His manners, she
says, are as beautiful and as effort
less as his cadenzas. He reads volum-
inously, knows all of importance that
goes on in Poland and is distressed
| by the harShneSS of those in govern
ment control toward a large part of
the populace.
First gentleman of Europe" was
term applied to Arthur James Bal
four, the British statesman of World
War time, when he visited the United
States, and he measured up to it in
poise, dignity and character. Now,
not in title of nobility or in official
recognition, but for qualities that are
inherent, similar title is bestowed
on PadereWSki
But these are not gentle times.
The world, unfortunately, seems NOV
ing away from gentleness.
