Shakespeare is not something written
in forgotten century for an audience
of its time. On the contrary. 1t Is a
study of dictatorship that is as up-to-
date as today, thing of stark SIM
plicity. full of overtones that are COM
pulsive. terrifying, and as unlike the
Caesar of the classroom as chalk is
unlike cheese.
The vitality of Julius Caesar" as
thus presented is an astounding thing.
Mr.. Welles production, ignoring the
classic tradition, is the vastly more
effective for its iconoclasm. 1t repre-
sents the characters of Romes great
est drama in terms of today, pres
entation that can be understood only
when it has been seen. And the road
company. to one who has seen the
New York performance, is in no no.
table way inferior to the one which
Is attracting such enormous attention
on Broadway.
Tom Powers, last seen here in a
comparatively small part in Jane
Eyre" is TIN Brutus Of the company
which Alex Yokel offers at the Ma
tional. He plays the role with sub
stantially the same infection that MIR
Welles has used for the several
months Of the New York performance
In other words, Mr.. Powers is Brutus
who. indeed, is an honorable man; a
much too honorable man to be sue
cess in the field of practical politics.
He is composite OF all the futile
liberals who would point the way to
men If they but had the power to
point instead of the power merely to
be eloquent. Mr.. Powers Brutus, as
that of Mr.. Welles. is a discouraging
character, kind OF hopeless hope
OF those who believe that vision is the
primary need of the species. Brutus
has the vision men think they need,
but he dies in the end as Brutus al
ways has died, man who lived in
vain for all the poetry will. which he
spoke. 1t is far from an encouraging
spectacle no matter how timeless it
makes Shakespeare seem.
EVEN more modern in its inter-
pretation is the role of Caesar
played by Lawrence Fletcher. The
conquerer is revealed as pretty much

MURPHY DEFEAT.
PREDICTED BY

Mrs. Betty Allie Hopes
For New Deal Invasion

If Governor Frank Murphy, o1
the mystic eyes, should by any
chance win out in Michigan's rip
Snorting governorship fight mex
month, Mrs. Betty Allie, III Detroit
will just naturally burst out ir
tears-or something.
For Mrs. Allie, in Washington
today, is a good enough Republi
can to believe that the governor
will be defeated by former Gov
ernor Fitzgerald, the COP stand
ard bearer, by 100000 votes. Anc
that is a lot of votes anywhere.
SHE SHOULD KNOW
Secretary to three Republican
governors of Michigan and a for
mer member of the Stare Board
of Labor and Industry, Mrs. Allie
at the Willard, is praying that
Governor Murphy will import some
high Democratic officials into the
State to aid him in his campaign
I'VE have been hoping the
President would come" she de-
clared. That's the one devel-
opment that would make the
Republicans in Michigan hap
piest.
IF Senator Barkley will come,
in line with his offer to do so
If Governor Murphy wants him
to speak in Michigan, we Re
publicans will meet him with a
brass band and pay all of his
expenses.
CONFIDENT OF RESULT
Michigan thinks as much of
its independence as Maryland,
and it would tickle us to death
to have an assortment of New
Dealers come into the State, to
urge the governors reelection"
Now policy chairman of the
Michigan Republican Women'S
Federation and first vice president
of the Wayne County Council of
Republican Women, Mrs. Allie be-
1ieves the Wolverine State to be
"fed up" with national and State
Democratic administrations alike,

lar Republican mooringS.

 The new Hitler who demands colonies of Britain and issues warning to Czechosovakia is the rein canation of the egoist who wrote "Mein Kampf" The arrogance of the dreamer, author and agitator separated from the arrogance of the present dc- tator of the Reich by period of five years-a time of relentless preparation for world power
 Why. indeed should not Der Fuehrer speak in blunt and commanding words not only to his subjects but to his neighbors large and small?
