foundation pillar. War destroys the
best things of life-among them
freedom and democracy. | think NJ
democracy ever made more sincere
effort to wage war on high levels
than did America in the last war.
But even with such exalted motives
and with the finest type of leader
ship, freedom and democracy had
to be sacrificed. If war comes to
America again, whatever platform
of security we may have built will
crash.
D. CULTURAL AND SPIRITUAL
IDEALS
The fourth pillar | would mention
is the pillar of enabling cultural and
spiritual ideals. One of our economic
detectives should be the building of
a society that will require less and
less of mans waking hours for his
economic activities, so that the maxi
mum amount of his time and effort
may be given to cultural and spirit
ual liberalization. Without such
a social objective all our efforts for
economic security will have been in
vain-merely a gigantic effort ade-
quately to feed, clothe, and shelter
human animals. The American
worker is, l believe, becoming in
creasingly aware of the significance
of this fourth foundation pillar for
the social structure Of his dreams
He realizes that his economic need
is only one of many and although
basic is only truly significant wher
properly related to higher cultural
and spiritual needs.

you find Mr.. Anderson a bit confused
and bereft OF some of his logic.
There is considerable that is charm
ing about THE Star-Wagon, con-
siderable that is good solid entertain
ment. but it never quite proves its
points for its author. In fact Mr..
Anderson doesn't really make it clear
just what he is about. In The Star
Wagon" in which he has reverted
from his blank verse form to prose,
Anderson delves into fantasy to take
up time and the fourth dimension.
At least he employs time and the
fourth dimension as the thread upon
which to base a thesis that the life
you live is far better than the life
you would live if you had a chance
to live it over again, and that money
isn't everything.
The trouble, and it is the only
trouble with the play and maybe a
minor one at that, is that you know
very well the three people principally
concerned would have gone on to un-
happier and unhappier days had they
not had the "star-wagon" to take
them back in time to try the course
IN life they might have chosen. But
1t probably is too much quibbling to
nnd fault with Mr.. Anderson for not
proving his point when maybe all he
wanted to do was write delightfully."-
warm and cheerful fantasy, chock-
full OF wit and scented heavily with
nostalgia. 1t probably is too much
quibbling even though it is dissatisfy-
Ing to find some of Mr.. Anderson's
ideas muddled and to find him at The
Evening star., 1938-05-10

for THE Star Wagon" is still some
thing to be seen in the face of all
these preceding complaints.
Y
MR.. GUTHRIE McCLINTIC'S di-
rection probably is largely respon-
sible for the success the play attains.
In less skilled hands The Star-Wag-
on" could have become pretty much Of
completely incomprehensible tangle,
but Mr.. McClintic has pointed its
every mood with a sure touch and
made of it everything 1t could be. The
playing. too. is something which will
make you completely happy.
Mr. Meredith is-Well, there's no
other word for it-he's perfect. His
acting isn't acting, so true to life is
his every motion, and he grows old
and young. and then old again so nat
urally that 1t is nothing short of amaz-
ing. He can whip those Anderson
lines around. too, like nobody's busi-
ness and make them music to your
ears, and when it is time to become
serious his personality has force that
makes you know you have really seen
something when the curtain drops on
one of his climactic scenes.
Miss Lillian Gish is another who
lends The Star-Wagon" the benefit of
thoroughly topping performance.
She is completely charming when she
is young girl in 1902 and she is
completely delightful when she grows
old. Then there are Mildred Nat
wick, Russell Collins, Barry Kelley and
Jane Buchanan to play important
supporting roles with considerable
skill. and all the other parts are we'll
cast and we'll played. And all of 10
Mielziner's settings add their bit in
the practically perfect manner that is
expected of any 10 Mielziner sets.

end OF things saying something that
has both been said before and been
said better before.
This, perhaps. is what makes "The
Star-Wagon" bit confusing when it
should have remained just an enter
tanning fantasy. There is nothing in
the business of pointing out and at
tempting to show that perhaps all IS
for the best after all to lead up to the
suddenly voiced and somewhat mys-
tlcal statement that We come out of
the darkness. stay in the light awhile,
then 60 on out into the darkness and
that some day we may know what is
in the darkness beyond. Even though
1T has been said before that pulls YOU
up with start out of the delightful
Augmentation you have been enjoying.
makes you feel that perhaps Mr..
Anderson was considerably more
serious about all this than it appears,
so you begin to take THE Star
Wagon apart to see what it could be.
RUT still and all Mr.. Anderson has
written another play which de-
serves every bit Of the considerable
soccess it has had in New York and
which is we'll worth the two hours or
so Of your time it will take up. It is
rich in humor. has its share of tears
and there is about it human feeling
that will warm the cookies Of your
heart. And, though the author has
chosen to call this prose. it still is
language that sings, language that is
full of rhythm and beauty.
The best moments of The STAR
Wagon" come, perhaps, when it zips
backward through time and lands in
1902. The genial inventor of the play,
rallied at by his wife for working all
his life for s27.50 week instead of
profiting from his inventions, then
fired from his job for being late,
decides with his brother to 60 back 20
1902 and start over again. Hanging
to the sides of contraption which
looks like somebody put the radio in
the refrigerator. the two of them
throw the switch and land back in
the old bicycle shop.
This time he'll mary the other girl
and become comfortably fixed in this
world. And so he does, but before he
does it Mr.. Anderson and you and
your nostalgia have whale of good
time with an antique automobile
which has whip for use if it breaks
down and horse is needed; with a
thoroughly delightful choir practice
episode, wherein Mr.. Burgess Mere
dith reveals his not inconsiderable
talent as singer; and with an old
fashioned picnic on a river bank. Just
how the inventor comes out trying the
life he could have lived is something

when they began to plan where and
when they would spend Paul's annual
two weeks vacation. 1t was then that
Paul learned that his wife craved the
seashore and the smell of salty breezes.
This was annoying, as Paul was more
fond of mountain fastnesses and in
land lakes.
Quite naturally. and gallantly, too,
he gave way to his wife's wishes the
first summer and for two weeks was
miserable at crowded seaside resort.
The second year it was the same
Then, quite unexpectedly, Paul's busi-
ness took turn for the better. He
found that for the first time in his
life he could indulge in q bit of ex-
travagance. He decided to have a
summer camp on Lake Asquam, in the
foothills Of the White Mountains. For
two years he had longed to feel the
sweet-smelling mountain wind in his
face, too look over the placid surface
OF a mountain lake. And now he in
tended to indulge his whim.
Patricia was unreasonable. She was
willing to spend week or two in the
mountains, but to build a summer
camp there-never! If they were to
have a cottage anywhere, it was going
to be at the seashore.
Paul was patient. He even per-
suaded Patricia to accompany him on
a motor trip through the mountains.
1t was glorious weather, early summer.
The hills and lakes and forests were
never more beautifully garbed, the sky
never more blue, the air never more
invigorating.
Paul breathed deeply and happily.
Patricia shifted and complained about
bugs and insects and chilly winds.
They paused on beautiful Asquam Lake
to buy maple sugar and sit on the
sandy beach. Paul wanted to 20
swimming, but Patricia complained
that fresh water bathing always gave
her sore throat. And SO they sat
there unhappily. until the chill of the
evening settled down and the lone
some cry Of a loon drifted across the
lake.
PATR1CIA stood up and busted of
her dress.
I'm sorry, Paul." she said, "but I
don't like it. I couldn't stand it to
spend an entire summer up here. If
we build summer camp at all it will
have to be at the seashore Or"
"Or what?" Paul asked.
"Or you'll have to come up here
without me-"
They drove home in silence. It was
their first quarrel, and it looked like
their last. Paul had tasted the
