is practically a clean sweep Tor tne
negative and almost too morbid to
contemplate.
In calling his drama so frankly a
fable, Lewis Meltzer obviously does
not ask you to believe its historical
aspects. At the same time, he seems
to have confused every one, director
and cast as we'll as audience, as to
just what was expected. The un-
certainty existed almost equally on
both sides of the footlights, the
nearest thing to evenness achieved
during the evening which was mercl-
fully briefer than the usual three
act play consumes.
The idea of Yankee Fable is not
a bad one. Gossamer, yes, but plays
have been written on subjects of
lesser merit.
It's theme is one with which his
torianS evade entirely or gloss over
by the trick of not calling a spade
a spade; namely, that of woman
with an ensnaring way and British
general with peculiar susceptibllltles
for that kind of woman. Mrs.
Lorinda Blocker Miss Claire is the
charmer, Henry Daniel Gen. Will
liam HoWe) is her victim. That
sort of thing sounds like lark for
Miss Claire and her justifiably large
following, but it is lark for neither
of them on this occasion. 1t is a
mutual disappointment, maybe be-
cause Mr.. Daniels General looked
like a leader who would have lost
the war if left to his own devices
instead of becoming the rather visit
full victim of Mrs. Bleeker's.
Mrs. Bleeker's idea-bluntly, to
keep the general over night while
the Yankee rout in New York in
1776 can be ended by the union of
George Washington's and Gen. Put
MANS forests intensely patriotic.
The general, in mistaking the nature
of her intensity. makes the whole
thing look much too easy. Even
good comedy requires some element
of conflict and the generals fight
was on the cream puffy side.
There are moments when Yankee
Fable" is comic. There might be
more of them if it were played
throughout in farce tempo. Instead
of that, however, it has continuous
stateliness about it which makes
the general look as if he were laying
siege when every one else in the
theater knew he had but that night
to do or die.
The dialogue of the play is inter-
mittently bright in the writing and
more often bright in its reading by
Miss Claire. The in-between' periods
are filled with a great deal of aim
less talk which is spoken as if its
aimlessness were pretty depressing.
Some of it, too, had to be spoken
by the prompter which gave the
audience closeup two readings of
the fairly obvious.

fusion of Yankee Fable" in addition
to Miss Claire and Mr.. Daniel are
number of others of whom more
might be expected. John Williams,
usually a capable player, is SEEM
lngly uncomfortable in the role of
the generals aide whose futile hope
1t is that he can divert the latter
back to the path of duty. Barry
Sullivan tries to be as intense a
young patriot and lover as the script
and direction permit, Eda Heine-
mann is shreWish servant who
seemed certain of herself except
when eXtinguishing candles in the
living room, and Maxine Stuart is
vaguely amusing as clinging vine
with a nice sense of timing in her
clinging.
The one set of Yankee Fable" a
Colonial living room, is the work OF
Harry Homer who turned up some
thing made for a sturdier battle
than that which took place between
the general and Col. Bleeker's lady.
Even in that kind of war. it seems,
every one is beginning to be loser.

STEEL MILL WILL
DOUBLE ITS OUTPUT

CLEVELAND, Oct. ID. (UP).
Despite a sharp decline in de-
mands for steel, the Otis Steel
company here has completed a
modernization program designed
to double production
Otis continuous hot strip and
cold rolling mills have been wild
ened, sped up and improved to
handle coils of double the prevl-
Gus maximum weight and length:
The width of both hot and cold
mills has been enlarged from "
to II inches and delivery speeds
stepped up from 10000 to 1900
feet per minute in the hot mill,
and from. 800 to 600 feet per
minute in the cold.
f: J. Kulas, company president,
believes the moderniZation will
permit the plant to meet require
ments of industries using 95 per-
cent of all flat rolled steel prod
uctS.
The Otis plant was the largest
of its kind in the world when
built, seven years ago. 1t is one

COP. campaigners have made

ed the federal government would

and have contended the increase
in the state share could be pro-

Approximately $4,000 Illinois

it several times it's former rate.

LOVELESS CHILDHOOD

The "malingerers, liars and swind-

writes. "If parents are too poorly
developed to expend love-, if they
really do not want their children,
or if their children are brought
up without parents or isatisfac-
tory substitutes, it is as. if the
children were deprived Of a sort

Youths To Work On

The scale of wages, together with

National Youth Administration in con-
nection with the tourist park at Ker-
rick has just been received. To give
youths on the farm an opportunity to
secure part-time labor, the schedule
is set for % hours a week, every other
week. If possible, there will be two
shifts of workers, one group work.
ing one week and the other working
the following week. Scale of wages
is 33c an hour and there is no limit
to the distance from which these
workers may be taken. If there is a
group of four or five from a town Is
or 20 miles distant, they can band
together and drive each day, and thus
save expenses. Two qualifications
are necessary, however. One is that
the boys must not be younger than
ID nor older than "a years of age;
the other, that their parents must
be on relief or WPA. Married youths
are not eligible.
