"Mikado in Swing" the giant mu-
steal extrsvangaza based on the
world famous Gilbert and Sulli-
van opera,,a, opens at the INA su-
ditorium, Friday, Nov. II. This two
hour musical production with its
rs all-colored cast set a new record
in the history OF the theatre. As
such, notices from other cities where
"Mikado in Swing has appeared
are its best criterion.
Its appeal must be universal since
it has been lauded by press and
public in widely separated metro
polltan centers throughout the
country
Windsor French, critic for the
Cleveland Press, opined. Mikado
in Swing IS as diverting rhythmic
show as we've eyer seen. Cos
tunes, lavish stage settings, all add
enormously TO vivid coloring. The
musical numbers as done in swing
are the best ever to emerge from
the Palace stage
"A grand show" wrote Elsie Finn
in the Philadelphia Record The
two acts have been transformed
into breathless jam sessions-every
member Of the troupe dances 10

Mikado in Swing is gorgeously
decorated, elaborate and highly ef-
iective entertainment. Il is most
welcome as a departure from static
stage presentations. declared Ced-

sion this fall in an effort to obtain
Senate passage.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee began consideration today of
the administration neutrality pro-
gram-repeal of the arms embargo
against belligerents and enactment
of a prohibition against American
travel and shipping in combat areas.
Just before the committee as
sembled Representative Vorys. Re-
publican, of Ohio wrote fellow men,
bers he thought Congress should
determine our present conduct as
to an existing war in the Orient"
before determining "our possible
conduct as to future wars in Eu-
rope"
I'VE have let our excitement
about what may happen to our re-
mote interests in Europe blind us
to what is now happening to our
immediate interests in the Pacific, -
Mr.. Vorys wrote.
I'VE have no treaty in Europe
comparable to the nine-power Pa
cifc treaty that is being violated
daily, with increasing effrontery."
Other Matters Pushed.
AS the session entered it's sixth
month other committees were trying
to clean up a variety of legislation
the remaining national defense
measures, agreement on farm bene-
fit payments, tax revision. R. F. c.
insurance for loans to small busi-
nessmen, and expansion of the So
cial security system.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee was discussing supplemental
Army expenditures totaling more
than 5000, 100000. with the bulk of
the money designed for expansion
of the Army Air Corps. So far Con-
gress actually has voted only s50,-
100000 for that purpose.
The Senate was taking up another
defense bill-authority to buy a re-
serve supply of strategic war ma
terials.
A joint Senate-House committee
called its first meeting in an effort
to fix the size of farm parity and
surplus crop disposal funds. The
Senate voted 1898 900 900 for those
purposes after the House rejected
similar proposals.
There were indications that most
or all of the money finally would
be authorized, although some sources
have limited that the President
might veto the legislation. Men,
bers from farm belt States, how
ever, received that report with skep-
ticism.
