the haystacks have been re- arranged for the placement of row upon row of spectators chairs. Along with the COWS, the actors have been let out to pas ture, munching their lines of dia- logue on the green grass.
 The country trek of the Rialto is a seasonal event, for with the spring rains, every cowbarn runs the risk of being turned into a temple to the great god, Thespis.
 Farmer Jones, meeting Farmer Smith across the boundary line, inquiries not about the crops, but about that new trick ingenue in Foolish Love" playing up the road a bit. Farmer Smith may even be the impresario of the stock company in the village, in- stead of tending to the livestock company on his own acreage! FROM HAYSEED
 TO LAUREL LEAVES
 Glamor overrunS the rustic re- gions and the girl in Slacks who is ambling down the road is likely to be Madge Evans, not the farmers daughter.
 Where the inhabitants would be expected to wear haySeed behind the ears, they wear laurel leaves and instead of speaking in a bucolic nasal twang, everyone seems to be declaiming in an as- sortment of fancy accents that could be cut with a steak knife.
 In the summertime, it is not rare for the folk around the cracker barrel to be disputing the recital of the soliloquy from Hamlet" rather than elements of homespun philosophy.
 FROM ACTOR
 TO CHAMBERMAID
 The summer transfer to the cowsheds is a signal for the theatrical folk to let their hair down and stop acting entirely like Jack Barrymore.
 An actor can't be too choosy about his lodging in the country, and if the hammock is the only available place for Slumber, he must make his peace with such accommodations.
 Sometimes actors may have to go forth and grub for their own meals, which is a hardship for one who has imperiouSly ordered filet mignonS at Sardi's. But they hardly snake the best of it-some some coming back to Broadway with improved constitutions and even tempers.
 UP FROM
 THE BARNS
 Broadway-in- -the-country is the proving ground for many an un- discovered Starlet.
 Katharine Hepburn got her first thespian chance in an ex- barn at Ivorytown, Conn. p
 Bette Davis wasn't even an act- resS in a bucolic theater! She was an usherette, but that task led her to Hollywood fame and fortune, anyway.
 Cary Grant is a product of the summer theaters that dot the countryside around New York. So is Julie Hayden. Dozens of others, who have become nation ally known celebrities, started in the cowShed.
 And now even a Barrymore will take the first steps toward Broad way along rural lanes. Diana Barrymore, 18-year-old daughter of John Barrymore and his for mer wife, Michael Strange, will make her stage debut at the Ogunquit Playhouse, Ogunquit, Me. She'll play the ingenue part in the Kaufman-Hart comedy, You Can't Take It With You" but her heart is set on eventually playing Broadway in Shakespear- ian roles.

MONDAY. SEPTEMBER Is

Renefic aspects q @ m tt
strongly today. The early morn
lnr hours are stimulating and
inspiring. Whatever is con-
struouvs should benefit under
this rule OF the stars, which may,
however, impsrt too much con-
fidence in large undertakings.
Caution is advised where heavy
risks are incurred.
Heart and Home: The stars
encourage authority in the fam
ilv circle. This is an suspicious
date for parents to be flrm IN
their commands regarding the
conduct of the rising generation.
Indulgence and unwise generos-
ity toward boys and girls should
be supplanted by determined sf-
fort to plant ideas Of industry
and unselfishness.
Business Affairs; For persons
who are heads OF business there
is great promise. Enterprise will
be encouraged by events as well
as by government cooperation.

Another instance Of the influ-
ence Of English political history
on the constitution Of the
United states s the provision
sxempting members Of congress
from arrest on civil process or
for any statement made in
speech or debate In either
house. The instance on which
this provision was based was
the prosecution OF John Wilkes,
a member OF parliament IN 1868.
Because the procedure IN
parliament prohibited freedom Of
speech. wilkes published a paper
In which he bitterly attacked the
