clubwoman and several others whose
place of meeting simply would have
to be jury box. These are the
characters who fit into the hilarity
category of the playwrights' con-
temptation of a jury. They fit, in
cidentally, like glove.
The serious, or romance, angle is
created by the inclusion on the
panel of an architect, a man of mid
die years, whose dreams have been
buried under years of domesticity
until the piquant Miss Scott re-
awakens them. In the early stages
OF the play he is the violent de-
fender of the hearthside and conse-
quently positive of the guilt of the
playwright on trial. When his ro-
nance with Miss Scott acquaints
him with a side of life that never
penetrated his freside experience, he
sees matters in a different light.
The fate of the accused man is of
no consequence in the final area of
the affair between the architect
philip Merrivale) and the girl, but
it has figured so completely in her
conquest of the other jurors that
conviction on that score is modified.
But not very much, thanks to the
superlative playing of the two prin-
cipals.
Their years in Hollywood have not
dulled the ability of Hecht and Mac
Arthur to etch characters with SIM
plicity and clarity. They have done
splendidly by this odd assortment
and Gilbert Miller's cast tops off the
writing perfectly. In addition to
Miss Hayes and Mr.. Merrivale,
praise is due Evelyn Warden for her
portrait of the overstuffed club
women. Robert Keith for his imper-
sonation of the last stubborn juror,
Connie Gilchrist as the simple
Swedish matron, Roy Roberts as the
philandering young wastrel, Pat
Harrington as the practical joking,
wisecracking juror and William
Lynn as the sheriff. The others are
quite adequate.
Mr.. MacArthur's direction of the
play leaves few spots which need
pointing up before its Broadway de-
but next Monday, and Boris Aron-
sons settings are excellent, especial
ly mountain-top scene which
every one automatically applauds.

Ladies and Gentlemen" which
refers to a jury, brings Miss Hayes
back to modern dress and modern
mores. It surrounds her with a
group as democratic as only jury
can be, group as democratic as her
court in Victoria Regina" was
royal. The transition is accom-
plished beautifully by Miss Hayes.
no small achievement when one con-
siders the lusty, rowdy companions
which justice so blindly throws her
way.
While 1t does not keep it from
being witty and wise. sometimes both
at the same time, Ladies and Gen.
tlemen" is written on two levels.
One of them is in the wisecracking
comedy spirit of which Hecht and
Macarthur are by now the old
masters. The other is in the mood
of tender romance, which is so diff
ferent as to create the impression
the authors might have been think
ing of Carole Lombard in one sem
tence, Miss Hayes in the next.
Adapted from a play by L. Bush
Fekete, who writes in Vienna waltz
tempo, Ladies and Gentlemen"
shows very little of the original. 1t
presents Miss Hayes, professionally
secretary to mad movie magnate,
as Portialike member of jury
which is trying playwright for the
murder of his wife. The scene Is
Hollywood, but for all her years
there Terry Scott Miss Hayes, is
superlatively normal warm, wise
woman. 1t is her function in her re-
1ation to the jury to convince it's
other members that in the ordinary
course of human affairs a play
wright might fall in love with an
other woman and yet not be guilty
of pushing his wife over cliff.
1t is great faith Terry Scott has
in the playwright's innocence and
she is no end artful in the methods
she uses to win the others over.
A majority of the group will re-
mind one of the merry, mad. motley
lot which Hecht and Macarthur
were writing about in their Front

fecund Swedish housewife, a fiorid

Can America remain neutral?
Vincent Sheean, author, said he

that he believes the world is faced
with a conflict Of II ito 20 years
duration.
He said we can only hope it will
not affect us too deeply and that
the current bitter opposition to war

insurance against being dragged

Laws Blame on Chamberlain.
Mr.. Sheean, whose verbal delivery
greatly resembles his prose style,
traced the course of events leading
up to the war in Europe, laying the
blame for the present crisis at the
feet of Britain's Prime Minister.
Referring to Mr.. Chamberlain as
"the screwmaker of Birmingham,
Mr.. Sheean declared the Prime Min
lister not only had sacrificed Aus
tria and Czecho-Slovakia by his
policy of on-intervention, but had
so aggrandized the Fuehrer by his
trips to Berchtesgaden and Codes
burg that the German had been led
to believe the French and British
never would fight for Poland.
Mr.. Sheean, whose diStaSte for
Mr.. Chamberlain was anything but

would have tried further to appease
Hitler, even after Poland was at
tackled, had Mr.. Chamberlain not
"misjudged the temper of his own

were by that time too worn out with
the September crisis to do anything
else but demand war.
Only Course for Hitler.
AS to Hitler'S alliance with Stain.
Mr.. Sheean opined it must give
even Hitler misgivings. He said
Hitler, being in so deep, had taken
the only immediate course left open
to him in allying Germany with
Russia, and as result had repudl-
ated the original crusade of the
Nazis against Bolshevism.
Germany and Russia have be-
tween them a synthetic product of
National Socialism and Bolshevism,"
Mr.. Sheean said, adding that the
product was one of 'insoluble con-
tradictions"
Mr.. Sheean said the original is

SEC. Studies Charge
OF Fraud Against
Securities Firm Here
Bankers Securities Co.
Accused at Hearing by
Several Investors

Examiner Edward c. johnson of
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission had under advisement to-
day complaint that the Bankers
Securities Co., Inc, of Washington
practiced fraud and deceit" on in
vestors. He will submit his findings
to the commission, which is asked
to revoke the company's license.
At a hearing yesterday several in
.veStors testified that they were sold
stock in holding concern, the
Bankers Credit and Acceptance
Corp, on the assurance of Salesmen
that their investment were entirely
safe, but later learned that they
could not receive the promised rate
Of interest or get their money back.
The Rev. Donald F. Drake, Mid
dletown Md priest, identified
check for $47680 which he gave the
underwriting company for 20 shares
of stock in the other corporation.
He got no dividends, he said.
Had 1851 Deficit.
r. A. w. Latimer, S. E. C. audi
tor, testified that the Bankers Sc
curitieS Co. had an operating deficit
OF $5,691.70 when he examined its
books February %.
The company, he said, had sold
479 units of stock, but its capital
structure was worth only $1,000. The
company owed the Bankers Credit
and Acceptance Corp. $l0,22O41, Mr..
Latlmer said. Cash on hand
amounted to $30445, he added.
The underwriting company, the
auditor said, had borrowed back
$4,000 from the other corporation
and. besides, had failed to turn over
to it $4,000 derived from the sale of
stock.
The practice of the company, as
described by investors, was to per-
suade them to turn over previous in
vestments, such as stock and trust
deeds, which it would hquidate and
replace with stock in the acceptance
corporation, which was to engage
IN the loan business.
Failed to See Prospectus.
Several witnesses said they failed
to see until after they had invested
a prospectus filed with the commits
sion when a license was issued. This
statement explained that it. would
be necessary for $4,000 worth of
stock to be sold before the Bankers
Credit and Acceptance Corp. could
do business, and, if it failed to real
ize this sum. investors could be re-
paid only $40 for each S25 paid in.
Emmett D. Borden, Washington
attorney, who represents most of
the stockholders, said Samuel Robert
Smith, president of the Bankers
Securities Co., who did not enter an
appearance at the commission pro-
ceeding, had paid nearly all the in
vestors 10 per cent of their invest
ments and given personal notes for
the balance.
Examiner Johnson said he did not
think this phase of the case was
material to the issue of whether the
company had violated the Securities
Act in selling stock.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Ma

timated that approximately 10000
persons watched and heard the
first television of major outdoor
heavyweight battle last night when
Lou Nova won a technical knock
out over Max Baer.
A portable television transmitter
set up at the edge of the press
section in Yankee Stadium tele-
vised the action over Station
W2XBS. Reception throughout the
New York area was described as
clear and bright, despite the absence
OF special lighting at the ringside.
Baer's thick mop of hair, tum-
bling about as Nova jabbed his
face, was easily discernable on the
8 by 10 inch screens. Blows ham,
mered in by both likewise came
across distinctly.
N. B. C.'s observers commented: :
"Television has amply demonstrated
its power to capture the fascina-
ton inherent in boxing"
Not only was the main go put
