SUGGEST Ways 10 Help

In an attempt to discourage the
public from flooding Congress with
hysterical instructions on neutrality
revision" the National League OF
Women Voters today was distribut-
ing circulars telling how you can
help while Congress debates"
Ways of helping, according to the
league, include these explanations
THAT changing the Neutrality
Act need not get us into war, and
leaving the Neutrality Act un-
changed cannot ensure our keeping
out.
by showing that people will un-
derstand wise and considered ac-
ton. Not by floods of messages say
ing vote yes Cor nO and we are
lost or vote yes Cor no) and we
are saved Neither is true"
In conclusion the circular says:
will getting into war or keeping
out depend wholly upon restrictions
or incidents? No. The American
people have not lost their power of
choice. We must make conscious
choice"

terms Of proposed bill intended to
put an end to charity racketeers."
Such bill was drafted early this
year, but was not sent to Congress
because various interested groups
had not agreed on all terms.
One proposal was that a license
be required for promoters of charita-
BILE campaigns, one purpose being
to enable a prospective contribu-
tor to require the solicitor to dis
play his permit as proof of his
identity and assignment. Another
clause also would require the Or

of the faith, including even the crit
les. were present. The place actually
bristled with people willing to die
for Thespis to avoid dying with her.
It was a moment to remember.
One of the elements represented
at the meeting was the community
theater, the democratic descendant
of the old arty, aristocratic little
theater." The delegates were modest
people, little bit shy and reticent
in the presence of Helen Hays, Ina
Claire, Maxwell Anderson, Robert
Sherwood, John Golden and scores
of other such imposing figures. What
they had to say was modest to the
point of apology for being there.
The result of all that modesty was
that the community theater got an
even smaller place on the next years
program. Demurring at that kind of
treatment, it was told to 60 out and
form its own organization, to DEM
onstrate it's virilty and prove its
place in the structure of the legiti-
mate drama.
1t turned out to be very fine, faith
erly advice. no matter how harsh it
seemed at first blush.
Now the community theater is 60
ing to have its own national organi-
zation and Washington will be the
scene of its founding. 1t will be
formed this week when representa-
tives Of IS community drama groups

He might be called Solomon for the
purposes of this piece. Woehler un-
hesitatingly admits he feels like a
pioneer. Like Columbus. maybe.
To the personable Woehler will fall
the job of seeing that players are on
time, that everybody's troubles are
ironed out, in short, seeing to the
hundreds of details which crop up
on movie set. Every one agrees
that with 135 women getting togeth-
er, there will be plenty of things
cropping up.
Since nothing like this has ever
been attempted in a film, Hollywood
is watching with more than usual
interest. Most of Hollywood doubts
that it can be finished without spat.
But if Woehler is apprehensive, hes
keeping his own counsel.
They're all nice people," he says
with smile, "and I think we'll get
along perfectly. I believe that be-
cause this is something different the
girls will be on their toes and anxious
to make it an important success"
With production barely under way,
there already has been one fight.

Three days-working days, spon-
sorS want every one to know-will
be devoted to the natal ceremonies,
which will be held at Wardman Park
Hotel. At the end of those three
days, with a constitution, program,
duly elected officers, Washington
may find itself the national head
quarters of another organization.
That is not definitely settled, of
course, but the city has a fine repu-
tation as headquarters town. So
does New York, but the commercial
theater Is SO dominant there any
other variety would be lost in its
shadow.
One of the objects toward which
the community theater organization
will strive is that of disabusing the
public mind that it is the old little
theater. The community theater
does not like to be confused with
its predecessor. 1t wants every one
to understand that it is not arty;
that instead 1t is virile. democratic,

1t aims to give the public its
moneys worth. 1t also aims to give
every young talent in every phase
of the drama chance to develop
under the best guidance and aus
pices possible.
