Premier Edouard Daladier OF

AS Mussolini left Rome by special
train last night, 250,000 men Of the

1919 class-were reporting for army
duty.
In Paris, Premier Edouard Dala-
diers speech Of yesterday on
Ttalys aspirations was believed by
diplomats to mark the end of a
period of blanket concessions to
European dictators but left a way
open for friendly negotiations.
Daladier made it clear that
France stood by previous agree

which Italy denounced-and mas

thought, but there are only a few
intervals during which it is stated
in lofty terms. Mr.. Howard mainly
eschewed fancy prose to say bluntly
that man is cockeyed for not dane
ing in the street if he feels like it.
His main spokesman is Mr.. Cohan
and if the two of them felt exactly
alike on the subject, Madam, Will
You Walk" might be streamlined
into quite a heritage of inspiring
entertainment.
Pointing out the happy, carefree,
whole -souled fellow man could be
if he were not the oaf he is, Mr..
Howard sought to avoid too much
of a strain upon the imagination.
1t was necessary. however, that he
take some liberties, and he did not
hesitate to create his hero in the
form of ministering angel, or
devil, from some other world. That
is Mr.. Cohan CDR. Brightlee) who
goes around humorously excoriating
the cowardly, the evil, the stupid
and other debasing standards man
has created for himself. 1t gets in
volved, at times, as such an idea is
likely to, but mostly it is an ire
sistible invitation to lark with q
beguiling whimsy.
The little, human people to whom
Mr.. Howard chose to send his symbol
of mans lost wisdom for living the
good life, are a humorously con-
ceived lot. They include the daugh-
ter of tainted Tammany contractor
who left the child a sense of dis
grace as we'll as his millions, a
crafty judge, the girls gin-guzzling
mystical aunt, confused cleric, a
taxi-driver Romeo who thinks the
world would be all right if vaude-
vile came back, composer with
egomaniacal tendencies, and few
others just as job-lot.
They are exposed to some pretty
iegerdemain in the course Of DR..
Brightlee's revelations. Some odd
bits include a statue that talks. cur
tains that open themselves, chairs

that turn around, a fog that drops
conveniently over Central Park to
mask the flight of two hearts in
love, and the silencing Of riot
among the animals in the ZOO by an
act of communion that would stun
Western Union.
That may sound as If MIR. Howard
was asking a great deal, but for
those who can get in the mood
of it (probably easier after further
rehearsals), it is spirited fun. These
queer goings-on have been counter
pointed with some of that terse,
satiric dialogue which yas SO bright
facet of the late playwright's tai
ent for being amusing when railing
at the shocking state of mankind.
His jibes cover virtually all the
territory lying between what used
to be Tammany's old domain and
what still is Hollywood.
1t is the misfortune of Madam,
Will You Walk" that it comes too
slowly to its hilarious best in the
first scene of the third act; a
mad, chaotic courtroom scene that
is the funniest glimpse at juris-
prudence since Storm Over Patsy"
Nominally on trial there is DR..
Brightlee, suspected of being the
Devils Advocate but accused more
conventionally of just being crazy.
Actually, 1t is a trial of two ide-
ologies, mans current one of hud-
ding in craven groups and his old
one of being great. gallant fell
low in his own individuality. The
play would be the stronger for a
quick ending after this point, but
instead it drifts into a wordy effort
to pull everything together as If
MI. Howard suddenly distrusted the
imagination of the audience after
his earlier faith in it.
The role of DR.. Brightlee either
does not fit Mr.. Cohap like a glove,
or vice versa, but others in the cast
are more in tune with Mr.. How
ards intimations of the infinite
1t is an appealing thing that Peggy
Conklin makes of the role of the

Margaret Webster has not finished
her job of directing Madam, Will
You Walk" but there are convinc-
ing suggestions throughout the play
that she is by no means frustrated
by the overweal,l of material OF
of occasional tenuosity.
Robert Edmond Jones' settings are
entirely in the spirit of Mr.. How
ards conception, and he deserves
a special accolade for his fog-dim-
med sketch of a Central Park lake
at night. 1t was just the scene
in which a statue could logically
come to life, rise from its chair and
deliver fiery lecture on ethics.
On the whole. Madam, Will You

Hollywood for years has held to
the theory that to avoid making
issues is to avoid offending some of

But more and more daring is
noticeable.
Producers call the controversial
pictures dynamite" because Of the
danger of an explosion. There

Any Hostess Will
Understand If

Nv EMILY POST

DEAR MRS. POST: am allergic
to milk and ice cream and cannot
possibly touch either one without
becoming violently i'll. AS you can
imagine, having to refuse everything
that is made with milk, and ice
cream, which is the principal din
ner party dessert, causes me q
great many uncomfortable moments.
When I'm with my intimate friends
they understand, of course. But
there are many other times When
I dine with people who do not know
me intimately and I find it very
awkward to refuse several dishes at
one meal. What in heavens name
do other people in my same pre-
dicament do?
Answer have known several
people who were allergic to various
foods and who were innoculated and
made able to Withstand their aller-
gies, but don't know what these
were. I would advise you-if you
have not already done ito con-
suit your doctor. If your case Is
likely to be durable he will, in
turn, send you to the right special
ist. If you are not durable, then
the only thing to do is to continue
to refuse whatever you cannot eat,
and make no remarks. If you are
"cornered," as it were, by being
pressed to eat something, or asked
why you won't taste it, then say
lightly, but quite frankly, that you
are sorry you are unable to eat any,
thing with milk in it. In other
words, you would make as little Of
the situation as you possibly can so
as to give the impression that you
are quite used to it-which, Of
course, you are. Whether you might
at times endure the slight discom-
fort is question, but not even for
the sake of showing consideration
to hostess, who is a stranger, are
you expected to make yourself sick
In fact. to become noticeably i'll
would not add to the success of the
party. In the present day. the fact
that many people are allergic is so
we'll known that I cannot imagine
any hostess who would not UNDER
stand
