A Book a Day
Theater on Upswing, Says Nation

If you have been shedding salt tears over the decline and ap- preaching death of the American theater, you have the word of the eminent dramatic critic George Jean Nathan that your grief has been misplaced.
 Far from being dead or dying, says MT. Nathan, the American theater today "has suddenly be- come recognized as being the most promisingly vital of the worlds playhouses." It is encouraging the best; talented writers are giving their best to it, intelligent producers are active in 1t, and it is character ized today by enthusiasm, imagina- ton and courage.
 MT. Nathan makes this comment in the preface t ohis new book, 'The Morning After the First Night" (Knopf: $25o). He admits candid ly that a reading of his books may leave one with feeling that great many things are very badly wrong wit hthe American theater-for Mr. Nathan was never one to pull his punches.
 But he is actuated, he says, by paraphrase of the old Yankee shippers ideal - to keep the thea ter right, if it be right, and to set 1t right if it be wrong.
 That being said, MT. Nathan sails in, and the result is some lively and frequently instructive reading. Some of it, to be sure, you have heard before and from MT. Ma than himself. It is not, for instance, especially surprising to hear him saying that Hollywood is "ten mill lion dollars worth of intricate and highly ingenious machinery func- tioning elaborately to put skin on baloney."
 However, there is plenty of meat in the book, and whatever 1t may be it never is dull. If you have the slightest interest in the theater you will find it well worth reading.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Jan. 24-The cabaret war is on again. After a temporary truce, Billy Rose has invaded the Broadway battlefront with the Casa Manana (''The House of Tomor- row." in Spanish) and thus threw the gauntlet down before the Ri- altos giant International Casino. Lets Play Fair" is the saturnalia that Billy has spread over the glit- tering stage of the Casa Manana and, as the title hints, it is a tune full take-off on Grover Whalen's Worlds Fair at Flushing Meadows next year. Grover, incidentally, at te, -ded the premier with his not inconspicuous gardenia.
 Leave it to Billy Rose to produce something elaborate. Leave it to him to show the most stunning line of show and chorus girls that any theater -with-tableS ever will assem- ble; and leave it to him who gave us Jumbo" to add a ferocious menagerie of tigers to the pro- ceedings. Captain Proske's Tigers snarl menacingly in an iron cage while the customers are enjoying their dinner.
 And leave it to him to call the turn on Manhattan's recent anat- omical reform wave by having Sally Rand barely turn up as if nothing ever had happened since Eve, and linda Nassau do Strip-teaSe in the best super -Minskian manner.
 Along with an ambitious show, Billy, in paid ad, makes other campaign pledges to the customers. He promises them that they will not be expected to tip the waiter sawbuck for a front table; that they will not be railroaded into buying cigarettes, programs and flowers from the seductive sales girls; and that the food won't ar- rive so cold that it will seem to have come via frigid Alaska. These reforms, in themselves, will be sen- sational if Billy can put them in practice.
 At last reports, the cabaret war was about evenly paced. But it will eb a fight to the finish.
 
 Tit for Tat
 They would have you know that it happened at suave after-theater party in the Park Avenue jungle where, among many assorted lum- inaries, Harold Vanderbilt, the yachting millionaire, and George s. Kaufman, Broadway,s wonder play wright were thrust together.
 After exchanging the usual so- cial formalitieS, MT. Vanderbilt turned to the ubiquitous MT. K., who was vaguely identified in his mind with the stage, and amiably said, Saw a very funny play the other night. Something called You Can't Take It With You Have you seen it?
 MT. Kaufman, celebrated for not being taken aback under such cir cumstances-especially as he hap pens to be the co-author of the show the yachtSman mentioned replied with & gentle negative. I'm not interested in the theater much these days" he told MT. Wander bilt, land I don't go to the shows if can help it. Tell you what I do like, though. Once a season, I like to run up to those Newport Cup Races. Ever see one of those, MT. Vanderbilt"

Say Gambling, Bootlegging
Threatens as Greater
Power Than Law

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 81.
(UP)-A South Carolina iegisla-
tive committee yesterday charged
that there is statewide prOtcc-
ton for "commercialized gambl-
ing and Bookkeeping" in this state.
The committee, which inveSti-
gated law enforcement in South
Carolina, reported to both houses
Of the legislature.
1t charged that paid protection
for gamblers and bOOtleggers was
so prevalent and so well organic
ed in certain of the larger towns
that it amounts to a major bust
ness enterprise and is on the way
to becoming more powerful than
the law itself"
The committee recommended
establishment of a state bureau
of investigation and said that
while it was unable to secure
much positive evidence, there is
an abundance of circumStantial
evidence of corruption of law en-
forcement officers"
The report cited existence of
organized gambling and bootleg
cling in several places, including
Charleston, Columbia, Florence,
Greenville, Chester and Myrtle

they saw bleeding veterans being
carried from the hall. The veter-
ans wore blue overseas caps boldly
to the meeting where they were
outnumbered ten to one by the

the building, shouting Down
with Hitler" "Down with Fas-
cism"

that there might be trouble and
forty policemen were in and
around the building.
After singing the Star Spangl-
cd Banner, the pickets dlsbursed
and the meeting started.
Otto Wegner, the first speaker.
was discussing U. S. Secretary of
State Cordell Hull's failure to
recognize outright Germans Ans
chluss with Austria.
Suddenly, Jean Matthias, who
later described himself as mem
Der of the American Legion, got
up and shouted:
"What kind of a meeting Is
this"
Then the battle started.
There were about sixty MEM
bers of war veterans organiza-
tons in the room and they fought
with bund members.
Several were beaten as they
ran to the street, many OF the PIC
kets returned and started hghts
with the Nazis as they chased the
war veterans out of the building;
The police, who at the first call
for help from the building mao
rushed in, were unable stop the
street fight and call for reserves
was made. ..,,
More than fifty other patrol
men arrived in radio patrol cars
and emergency trucks and they
broke up the fighting.
The celebration was resumea
