Blackfriars Offer
Anti.War Effort.

obviously spurred by the direc-
ton OF Denis Connell, the Black
friars Guild presented most creditable
version Of The Way of the Prince"
play by the local actor and playwright,
E. Francis McDevitt, last night at St.
Paul's auditorium. From the techni-
cal standpoint. Mr. McDevitt's opus is
rather unpublished. There is far too
much trooping on and of the stage,
and the plot often is pushed along
its course by rather crude devices, but
the performers made of it a reason
ably plausible effort.
Two players were the outstanding
contestants for acting honors. They
were Howard Brady and Billy Victory.
Mr.. Brady's role was that OF the
soldier who finds war a cruel and
greed-motivated thing, resolves to de-
vote the rest Of his life to tearing
from it its cloak of glamour. His
Is strong and plant voice and he
manipulated 1t ably throughout. He
succeeded in projecting his crusader
characterization in a superbly realistic
manner. The other contender was
Billy Victory, a very young man who
played the peace advocates son as a
child. Master Billy is possessed of
remarkable stage presence; he con-
ducts himself with the confidence of
a veteran trouper.
Adah May Brady, who has done
some excellent bits in the past, proved
rather disappointing last night as the
girl who considers her brother a hope
less fanatic and marries a munitions
maker despite the relatives objections.
She read too hastily and drablv and
deserves mild chiding because of
previous standards. Messrs. Brady
and Victory were far above the others
IN effectiveness, but among the better
contributions were those of Mary
Black, Yvette Marion. Robert Dillon,

gle to get the Hiller-Hohenbrunn af-
fair to an altar. They want one to be
happy over the persistent prettiness of
1t all, and somehow one is very happy.
THE story, which comes from long
line of proud ancestors, can thank
not merely its current singing stars
for its acceptance. but the generous
ness with which the whole show has
been put together. Hassard Short,
who staged and directed the project,
could not have INDUCED his fancy for
color and spaciousness more freely If
he had been working for Mr.. 1ckes in
early P. w. A. days. Maybe he did
not spend much, but it certainly looks
as if he had, and when it comes to
that Cafe Maxine scene with the
grand staircase, the audience fairly
bursts out in delighted applause.
Three Waltzes" is lighter on COM
edy than on any other element,
probably because people were not as
funny then as they have become since.
But don't expect to be continually
disappointed on that score, for those
burbling little laughs in the first two
acts are just the right degree of warm
up when Glen Anders ((he also is
three generations) turns irate octoge-
marian. Mr. Anders always has been
good actor, Of course. and he is not
going to let the contrary impression
get abroad If you will just bear with
him until that final act.
At that, he is no funnier than the
Can-Can number which those stat
uesque always dancing girls OF the
'Shuberts turn in as the closing bit
of the cafe scene Once the scandal
OF two continents. or some similarly
large area. the Can-Can comes back
today as something almost grotesquely
costumed, extremely violent. definitely
ungraceful and uproariously funny.
The girls, however, can do graceful
dancing when the occasion justifies it,
as the occasion does when it helps
the story along to have bit of ballet
which is classical this moment fresher
the next. That is very pretty dane
ing bit, too, which finds boys and girls
dancing together in the effectively
lighted three-waltzes sequence from
which the show gets its name.
The music of Three Waltzes" is
completely Strauss in origin, starting
with Johann. ST.. in 1865, moving down
to Johann. jr., for the 1900 cycle and
coming up to Oscar for the modern.
1t is perhaps bit late to be saying
that it is invariably pleasant, but that
is what it is. Preference obviously
goes to the duet number ITO Live Is
to Love-" which the principals sing
with such ecstatic spirit in the second
act. On the way to that point, Mr..
Bartlett and Miss Carlisle have a deal
OF other singing to do. one OF the more
unforgettable bits of which is her solo,
MY Head Controls My Heart"
If you liked THE Great Waltz" of
which this is logical heir, the new
show probably will be one of your
happier portions Of the year, If not
one Of its most significant.

District Tax Prospects.

Spokesman for civic and business
groups, appearing before the Commis-
sioners on the budget estimates of the
municipal department heads, have done
well to display an awareness of the link
between budgets and taxes. The tax
load to be borne next year, and perhaps
in succeeding years, will be influenced to
some degree at least by the size of the
1910 appropriations.
All students of the municipal govern
ment know there are many needs which
have not been met. The District has
passed through too many years of econ
omy, insufficient revenues and dwindling
Federal payments to be current with it's
problems.
Funds requested by department heads
are slashed every year. The Commits
sioners were not unduly shocked, there
fore, when the total this year aggregated
some $66, 800, 900. In fact, the total this
year was several millions less than the
original requests last year. The depart
ment heads know that their requests will
be cut. This does not necessarily mean
that department executives strive to be
extravagsnt. They ask frankly for all
they think they need, viewing their own
problems individually and separately
Evening star., 1938-09-13

It should not be forgotten that the
District will spend some tl3,5oo, 900 for
capital improvements, under the p. w. A.
program. This is all to the good. for re-
payment will take place over . 24-year
period, beginning in 1s4l, but the District
still must repay with interest some
S7,400,000.
On the revenue side Of the books, it
must be recalled that heavy increases in
taxes were laid on the District in the
past two years as Congress postponed
final decision as to revision OF the tax
structure. Two stop-gap revenue plans
have been invoked. Experts of the Con-
gressional Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation now are preparing a
report on the tax system.
At the moment, no one knows what
will be recommended by the tax experts,
or by congressional committees. For
this reason, tax-paying Washington is
wise to curb its desires for expenditures
to a point somewhere near the expected
income which would result from continue
alton of the present taxes.
Emergency needs must be considered
now, but after permanent tax program
has been laid on the statute books the
District will be in a very much better
position to tackle the remainder of its
unmet needs.

Hines was being tried for allegedly
using his political influence to protect"
the policy racket which netted Dutch
Schultz and his cohorts some $40 ,ooo, 900
year. Since the defendants guilt or
innocence Of that offense was the sole
issue In the case, 1t was improper for the
District Attorney to ask a witness
whether testimony in another case before
. grand jury had linked Hines to the
poultry racket.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Dewey asked the
question In the heat of the trial and did
not intend to prejudice the rights of the
defendant. But that does not alter the
fact that once such q question Is asked
an impression is made on the minds of
the jurors, and there can be no assurance
that instructions from the trial Judge to
ignore the question would wipe out that
adverse result. It is also worthy of note
that under the rules of evidence the
defendant would not be permitted to
offer proof in rebuttal of the Implication
raised by the question.
For the purposes of Justice Pecora's
decision, it was immaterial whether he
thought Mr.. Dewey had proved the
defendants guilt in the Schultz case.
The rule forbidding questions of the sort
asked by Mr.. Dewey is designed to pro-
tect all defendants from the possibility
of conviction by innuendo, and 1t should
not be waived in any case, no matter
how conclusive the proper evidence
presented might be.
OF course, Justice Pecora could have
refused to grant the mistrial and have
passed the burden of deciding the ques-
ton to an appellate court. Had he done
so, however, he would have lodged the
responsibility imposed upon him. No con-
siderations of lost time or money could
have justified that course.
The unfortunate result of the case,
however, should focus public attention
on the strong movement now under way
to give the prosecution a right of appeal
in criminal cases, which is denied at pres
end in most Jurisdictions. II such a
right existed in New York, Mr.. Dewey
could secure q final ruling as to the
propriety of his question, and perhaps
avoid the necessity of re-trying the entire
case. That would be of great value,
since a second prosecution is always
weakened by the fact that the defense
then knows the precise nature of the
evidence that will be offered against the
defendant.
