Revue
October II

Fresh from it's sensational
New York triumph, that widely
publicized musical hit. I'D
Rather Be Right" starring the
first actor of the American
stage, George M. Cohan, comes
to the National Theater for an
engagement of one week. begin
ming Monday, october IT, under
the management of Sam H.
Harris. whose other attractions,
"Of Thee I Sing" and LAS
Thousands Cheer" are still
vividly remembered.
AS most everyone by this
time knows, "I'd Rather Be
Right" was written by George
S. Kaufman and Moss Hart,
with music and lyrics by Rich
ard Rodgers and LoTenz Hart,
and its leading role is that of
President Franklin lano
Roosevelt. America is, perhaps.
the only country in the world
where such a lampoon of those
in high places would be toler.
ated; but it must be said to the
credit of the members of the
Presidents Cabinet, who are
caricatured and who have seen
the play, that they have enjoyed
it as good sports.
Here we see Mr.. Farley, Miss
Perkins, Mr.. Hull, Mr.. Cum
mings, Mr.. Morgenthau, and an
other member of the Cabinet

Cling. with the President to
balance the budget so that a
certain boy and girl may get

1t requires several Cabinet
meetings, the Interpolation of a
dozen or more musical num-
hers, and a dance or two by Mr..
Cohan to reach the point where
the President decides he isn't
going to have enough time after
all to finish the task, and it will
be necessary for him to seek a
third term. However, he isn't
worried, for we find him stating,

mercy. preserves his popularity.
BY this time you have learned
that Democracy is government
by amateurs, that the New
AmsterdamerS would like to keep
the government small and
funny, with less discipline and
more entertainment, that a gov
ernment is an organization to
sell protection at monopoly
prices.
Or you may have been regaled
by Peter Stuyvesant'S logic in
dealing with wages, prices and
profits, and his ideas on the
functions of a "payoff" man.
They had racketS in those days,
too. The typical American is a
man who refuses to take orders.
OF POLITICAL IMPORT
Pure melodramatic hokum is
the attack and burning of the
jail by a band of striped Harlem
Indians, but after all you can't
have words and music, all OF the

Over this Kurt WE'LL has
poured a most pretentiouS, score,
pleasantly interpreted in soft
harmonicS, by an augmented
orchestra with electric organ.
Most applause last night was for
the bravura, How Can You Tell
An American" and the comic
song of the council, Eve Wouldn't
Gonto Do IT., elegantly rendered
by the double quartet.
young People Think About
Love" and "It Never Was You"
are two of the more melodiouS
numbers vocalized by Jeanne
Madden and Richard Kolimer,
duetting young lovers. Some
thin orchestration is essential to
bring out the value of the topi-
cal lyrcs, with pallid voices.
is NOVELTY SHOW
Acting honors go to the before
mentioned Mr.. Huston and to
his imposing historian, Ray
Middleton as Washington Irv-
ing. The councilmen are
played with enthusiasm and
effective drollery by Mark
Smith, George Watts, Frances

'"That Certain Age" picks up

to quick infatuation and longs
for somebody to understand her,

tion to his words.
PEG.LEGGED DANCER
Your Washington Irving,
(played by Ray Middleton with
robust vigor) is a tremendous
aid to the new musical, for when
the action seems too heavily
weighed with lyrics, he steps
over from his perch to advise his
characters and, incidentally
give the faltering action a stimu-
lating boost.
The estimable Walter Hous-
ton, who plays the Colonial ruler
with an aristocratic looking
silver stump, enters the scene
impressively towards the close OF
a sagging first act, and from
that moment on Maxwell Ander-
sons smart words and music
move with more celerity, ana
greater relish.

his pointed references to dlcta-
tors, on how and why he rules,

satirial shafts from the Ander-
son pen.
COLORFUL SETTING
The action of the two acts
occurs mostly in 10 Mielzlners
artful and colorful recreation OF
the Battery in 1647. Here the
venerable, and stupid council, IS
gathered to celebrate a holiday
with a hanging. The burglars
would enjoy the holiday without
the moose, but there is custom to
be followed, and a prisoner must
be sacrificed.
No prisoners being available,
the council decides that Brom
Brock, a roustabout who has
never been willing to take or
ders, will serve for the moose.
Governor Stuyvesant's arrival
upsets the plans and tangles
the romance.
For the governor sets his eye
on Brom Broeck'S fair lady. the
lovely Tina Tienhoven, and
would have her for a wife. Tina's
papa, president of the council,
connives in this matrimonial
olanning and when Brom is re-
calcitrant he is carted off to jail.
Thereafter the plot concerned
is clearing the way for the two
lovers, and it is Washington
irving who comes to the rescue
by leaving his desk to remind
peter Stuyvesant that history
has placed him on a lofty perch,
and he must respect the verdict
Of posterity.
