sense and her own arms, through
expert application of common
sense.
BY doing a bit Of eavesdrop-
ping and thus acquiring some
knowledge of Johnny's plans,
the Duchess campaign to save
her assured position is a success.
She merely tells Johnny that
she will never grant him a di-
vorce, that he may go to South
Africa and live in what the world
calls sin. She tells the same
thing to Liz, in the best scene Of
"Once Is Enough" The thought
of forfeiting respectability and
living in remote South Africa,
far away from the environment
and friends they both regard as
necessary, is sufficient to give
the Duchess her victory.
Is WELL DIRECTED
If Ina Claire was less certain
and scintillant than in her
earlier Lonsdale triumphS, it is
because the play is still in the
process of polishing, still must
acquire those lines of subtle wit
and feline clevernesS which she
can deliver with devastating eff.
feet. Her brilliance in these
drawing room battles has been
demonstrated time and again,
but even a good actress is the
servant of the author.
Gilbert Miller has surrounded
his star with competent COM
pany. Hugh Williams is the
harassed Duke of Hampshire,
(Johnny). and gives a good &C.
count in the role of man with
vacillating affection. Viola
Keats plays the third side of
the triangle effectively.
In the typical English types
are such good actors as John
WllllamS, M g a + e VyneE,
Archibald Batty, Walter Piers,
Nancy Ryan, Wilfrid Seagram,
Rosalind Ivan, Eric Cowley and
Lewis Dayton.
The single setting by Ray
mond Sovey is in .aristocratic
taste and Gilbert Miller's direc-
tion is both smooth and alert.
Rewarded last night with
seven curtain calls, "Once Is
Enough" struck me as a Ions
dale drama that needs more at
tention from the playwright be-
fore it can approach Broadway
with the comforting hope of
being welcomed with the new
hits.

Mr.. Roosevelt, ii his latest radio

A'A speech was frankly political.
He declared himself the leader of
the liberals and held that, as such, it
was his privilege to intervene in
state primary and election cam
paigns for the purpose Of insuring
the defeat of those whom he char
acterized as conservatives, the oppo-

This aroused the indignation Of
many Democratic statesmen like
Senators Burke Of Nebraska and
King of Utah.

TRADITIONAL POET

The Iliad and the Odyssey were
recited or performed every four
years at Athens during the clas-
sical period. Homer is the tradi-
tional poet of these two poems;
he has no existence apart from
his poetry. The facts of his life
are traditional or are surmised
from his writings.
As far back as the classical
period in Greece, Homer was an
ancient poet. The classical
Greeks made translatiOns of his
work, they wrote lives of Homer,
they taught his poems and made
analyses of his work. The Ian
