for the theater somehow or other is
the kind you can pass five times
before you realize that it is a house of
art.
For all the fact that it is the least
prepossessing looking edif1ce of its
kind we have seen in New England, It
is the one that probably will spawn
more Broadway items than all the
others combined.
The reason for that is that it hap
pens to be the laboratory of the
Mercury Theater, that winged group
OF youngsters headed by Orson Welles
and John Houseman. Destiny's IA
vorite children in show business last
year, a pair of inspired brats with

Welles and Houseman have used the
summer and Stony Creeks theater to
create further evidence they have not

to get bead on where the important

particularly. might be found.
The girl behind the window, blond
and with the glow Of health that is
impressively chronic with barn ar
tistes, turned out to be Miss Ann
Garrett. Miss Garrett, who calls
Washington home and whom WASH
ington used to call a very talented
ter star tshe was the girl who was so
delicate in Our American Cousin"
last summer), Is a fine interviewee
eventually. That's after she gets
through interviewing, however. She
wants to know all about the Roadside
season, all about Kitty Pritchard
Romney. Dick Creyke, Beth Thomp-
son, Harry Macarthur, the Civic Thea

how hot Washington has been. That's
to make her still happier about being
up here where it is cool.

Wv tions at swords point. Peo-
pies against peoples. Hate
brewing in mems hearts. And yet we
hear it said, Revenge is sweet" We
everyday folk are often infected by
that hoary sophism. But it misstates
the dangerous side of fundamentally
noble trait of human nature, self
defense. .Unbridled revenge is about
the bitterest thing on earth.
An old schoolmate of mine used to
brag, Nobody can do me dirt and get
away with it," Years later, when
business associate tricked him out of
profit, he spent his best FIVE years
getting even, instead of settling out of
court, as urged, and fixing his mind on
his own growing enterprise. He ruined
his enemy through court battles and
ceaseless personal abuse. But he also
bankrupted himself with legal fees and
through neglect of his own affairs. He
wrecked his health and character as
we'll. Recently he died, a friendless
misanthrope.
Revenge is a boomerang, as this man
found too late. Mind you, we must all
fight for our rights at times - but re-
venge goes far past that. Self-defense
breeds self-respect. Revenge kills it.
Biting off the nose to spite the face"
is recipe for ruin. Some famous men
learned so by experience. Benedict
Arnold won flying start for the front
row in the Hall of Fame. But instead of
taking it in his stride when envious
foes tried vainly to undermine him, he
fed grudge until it burst. Arnold be-
trayed the country he believed against
him, and fed to lonely exile for life.
Aaron Burr lacked one vote of being
the nations president. Then he fought
and killed Alexander Hamilton, who
had swung that vote against him, and
ended his own career.
Revenge holds another irony. 1t so
often proves unnecessary. vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord" wrote an an
cient Hebrew sage. No mere pious
platitude. An axiom of human psy-
chology that is too little understood.
Substitute "Nature" for "the Lord" if
you desire. Those given to harming
Others bear within themselves the seeds
of their own destruction. When man
Injuries you, it's often better to let

MANY IFS SEEN
ON RAIL MERGERS
But Possible Saving Is
Estimated at 600 Million
a Year.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Several large 'ifs" spike the track
that leads to national railroad consoli-
dation. observers Of the White House
railroad studies said today.
Although Government officials and
railroad executives who favor CONSOLE
dation believe s6oo,000.000 could be
saved every year through combining
routes and systems, they admit the Job
would be difficult.
Personal pride-an intangible factor
is not the least obstacle to working
out the solution, observers said.
Veteran rail executives would be
unlikely to take kindly to losing their
Jobs or being absorbed into larger
networks. Many of them have grown
up with their roads and have strong
pride in tradition.
Another stumbling block would be
providing work for rail employees who
would lose jobs through consultations.
President Roosevelt said last week
some way would have tu be found to
Jake care OF Cnem.
The Association of American Rail-
roads estimates operating and nom
operating workers at about 1000, 900
Government estimates indicate 200, ,0OO
to 100000 might be forced out of work
How much opposition to consoli-
dation law this would mean. the ex-
perts themselves do not know. New
ertheless, they expect opposition will
develop.
A third problem would be working
out valuations of properties so that
each system would get fair return
And more difficult than working out
ratios, some observers say, would be
the job of getting interested parties
to agree on the financial details OF
consolidation.
Farm interests and shippers dought-
less will make themselves heard. Nu-
merous protests are expected from
Communities which would stand to
lose train service.
Regardless of all these difficulties
some Government analysts think con-
solidation will be pushed through
