definitely knocking the stuffing out
OF the notion that what the theater
needs is realistic drama. Naturally,
not quite so startling today as in
1924, Mr.. Vane's drama of a group
of newly dead men and women on
their way to eternal life, via a
luxurious ocean liner, still is some
thing to excite the imagination and
touch the heart.
There has been bit of retouching
OF the dialogue here and there, but
only enough to efface the 1924 date
mark on the drama. The basic prem
Use remains its old fascinating self,
namely, that death is a high adven-
ture compounded OF mystery, terror,
release, reward, punishment and
various correlatives.
The acting of the cast of Out
ward Bound" is splendidly compile
mentary to the sentimental fantasy.
The well-directed company goes for
its laughs and its heartaches with
a spirit that usually is associated
with a home coming football game.
The result is a rich revelation that.
given the right opportunity, actors
still can act.
1t is a pleasure to report that
Laurette Taylor is back at the peak
OF her form in the role of Mrs. Mid
git, the kindly old scrubwoman. At
the peak of her form, Miss TAYLOR
is close to the best actress you ever
saw. She is particularly brilliant in
that third-act passage of Outward
Bound" when she is the humble.

the acidulous aristocrat whose OBJ
servations on people, life and
Heaven itself constitute some of the
richest comedy of the play. Others
of the group who give luster to the
play are Harry Ellerbe as the weak,
sarcastic sot; Stephen Courtleigh as
the bewildered young minister who
stands at the gates of Heaven
doubtful of all he has preached;
Louis Hector as the stuffed shirt
capitalist who could not bluff his
way into eternal bliss and Reynolds

out to decide the fate of the newly
dead
In the extremely difficult parts of
the young half ways" a pair of low
ers in the process of suicide, Diana
Barrymore and Henry Richards
seemed less facile than their fellow
players. That probably is Mr..
Vane's fault, however. for the wav
his play is written, they are left
somewhere between earth and
Heaven. which obviously would be
a very confusing place to be.

WANTS ANSWER ON
TOWNSEND PENSION PLAN

Editor, The Times: Can some
one explain TO me why the
Townsend old age pension plan
won't work? I have asked a
number of people and so far
have failed to find one who
could give, what seemed to me,
a plausible reason.
l do not belong to a Towns
end club but I have read every
thing I could find, both pro and
con, regarding the plan and to
me it seems fair, sensible and
workable. However, l am not
one of the smart guys" and
am willing to be shown.
l have always commended that
the old age pension should be
a government, not state assist
ance. if you please to call it
assistance. However, feel that
no sense of charity should be
felt in an old age pension.
Our older people have borne
the burden of building the coun-
try to what it is and because
the sharks" have grabbed their
earnings is no reason we should
now let them down. I am firm
ly of the opinion that something
of a similar action is the only
thing that viii put money in
circulation again and break the
depression.
Certainly the present dole
system isn't helping matters of
future prospects.

Europe 1t at war. we are at

II is inevitable that the ha-

hled BY the same allment. gave

But II lay in n dark corner OF
Glass closet until he suffered an
especially severe attack several
weeks ago. Then. despairing OF
other cures. he asked his nurse
TO investigate the medical ac-
compiishments OF that thing"
She did. and her reports were
favorable enough for him to give
II a trial.
Carter started a stiff course OF
lex workouts, and his friends re-
port that he Ia virtually cured

compliments he had received.

said I did fine. They told ME I

When a too inquisitive pal

ruling, the latter grinned and
grew a bit sheepish. Then he
broke down and confessed.

tor Nye wanted to insert some

cord, and ! said: Without OBJ

Senators have been severely
criticized by their constituents
for the speed and unanimity with
which they passed the bill pro-
viding mileage checks for them

trivial issue now bulks almost
as large as pro and con letters

But the statesmen have an APP
pealing alibi. The mileage bill
also contained authorization Of
