The first impression of "Suzan-
ma and the Elders" a racy story
OF economics, eugenics, emotion. etc,
in a communal colony, is that it
tries to cover too much ground.
There is comedy, there always has
been, in the clash of mans in
stincts to prowl with the pack and
to 60 it alone. 1t makes little
difference whether the instinct has
to do with the acquisition of prop
erty or a mate. Either one would
make the substance of good, ro-
bust comedy. The Langners deal
with both and that spoils lot of
the fun; not all of it, understand
but lot that need not be lost
II the accent were more definitely
placed.
The socialist, or communist, col
ony with which "Suzanna and the
Elders" deals is fictitious and so are
the characters. A program note
says so, but it also carries the
intimation that if you knew your
cult history, you could find re-
semblances to a lot of authentic
happenings in the old Utopias which
went wrong in the United States.
The colony with which the play
deals is headed by fiery patriarch
who is equally inspired by st. Paul

This reporter, having caught up
with his memory, hastened to
splash a small drop of acid into the
great mans ear. You ought to say
gee whillikers'!" he told Chaplin,
a reporter always starting. off by
thinking that whatever he sees is
show.
The acid did not sting. Chaplin
turned as to a friend. That's
right" he said, Il haven't been in
New York. you know, in 10 years"
and ran on ahead, saying. Gee
whillikers. oh gosh, oh gee whilli-
kers." He has a small, very pleasant
voice, tweaked at the edges by a
slight British accent.
In the elevator Chaplin explained,
"I always am so impressed by these
marvels. these huge, vast, these i'm.
mense, enormous . well, you know
what I mean, magnificences.
Il saw Radio City last night. My
goodness. Nothing like that has
ever been seen before in the world.
Business certainly has thrown out
its chest there. But. one thing Is
lacking. Well, I wouldn't say that:
I'm not an architect. don't know
anything about it. but. for me. one
thing is lacking to make the project
perfect. You've got this tremen-
dous spread of prodigious buildings,
all standing so silent. so imposing,
just standing there. sticking their
chests out to the sky. To sort Of
set them off, they ought to have one
fellow standing out there in the
middle of them. way down, you
understand. on the earth. but right
in the middle. little fellow. throw
ing custard pies at the buildings all
day long
So Chaplin is not ever a ponderous
man ana has a horror of taking
himself seriously. Thus what will
be said next has only his secret
and oblioue approval. But the fact
is that Chaplin is about to throw
his strength as the best-certainly
the most popular clown in world
history-into the war against the
dictators and the whole idea of
dictatorship.
His latest picture, The Dictator"
which opens here tonight has a
target-Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini. And the prayer of ear
minded people everywhere is
that the picture will be so good that
nobody will be able to look at any
dictator or think of one without
laughing out loud.
If the picture is good. fear Of
the bully boys will be gone from
the minds of those who see it: the
awful, numbing fear that has won
so many battles for Hitler UP to
now, and in its place will be a
snicker, cutting as deep as any
sword. It's on the psychological
front, where the battlefield is
populations mind. that the Nazis
have fought so murderously well.
Now those fighting the Nazis on
this front, where many break
throughs have been made every
where, hope the little man with

and Darwin. From the former he
gets the idea of communal property,
and by an ingenious Interpretation

he takes over the idea of scientific
breeding. In the early part of the
action, he has been successful in
selling both attitudes to the faithful
The second generation. or the
younger set, comes along to upset
the perfect state with notions Of
having it's own property, and most
especially having its own mates.
Sharing turns out to have all kinds
of difficulties. the most notable of
the lot being pretty Suzanna who
objects to mating, scientifically or
otherwise. with a bearded elder
when go-getter of her own age has
got her terribly confused between
instinct and idealism. That is the
point on which the play turns, but
it has a startling way of getting
lost. So does the laughter which it
begets.
For all the delicacy of the main
theme, the Langners have done
tactful writing job on the dialogue.
A few double meanings, to be sure,
do creep into the conversations be-
tween the elders and the youngers
on the subject of procreation. In the
main. however, the subject is
handled with skill and good taste.
Some obviously talented players
go to mat. almost literally. with the
obliquities of "Suzanna and the
Elders" Morris Carnovsky manages
to bring through fine impression
OF the patriarch whose idealism
keeps the group inspired in the di-
rections of the perfect state and
Grade A eugenics for 30 years.
Haila Stoddard as the tormented
Suzanna, a pretty blond trapped
between her faith and her human
feelings, is another who helps lift
the mistS which blow periodically
across the stage. The truly fine
comedy part in "SuZana' is that as
signed to pretty Lois Hall, a pert
young Sister Mary Lamb who has
socialism and promiscuity confused,
with strong predisposition toward
the latter. Phillip Coolidge, Howard
Freeman, Frances Bavier, Royal
Beal, Tom Ewell. and Paul Ballan-
tyne are others meriting their mede
of praise among the large cast.
None of them have quite finished
their work and correlatively. neither

LABOR DAY

This is the day set aside for
public celebration in behalf of
all workers Of the nation. 1t is a
day of Importance in American
life. The character of various
parades. speeches and demon
STATIONS indicate the tone OF
thought in the minds Of Ameri-
ran men and women.
If we are following in the
footsteps of France, as our AMI
bassadpr, William c. Bullitt says
we are, we may expect violent
demonstrations. Possibly there
will be demonstrations in lead
ing industrial centers, but there
will be no general outlawry such
as France has so often seen.
We may be started on the road
toa downfall as France started.
but the high intelligence of the
workers OF this nation will tell
them that such a road can do
them no ultimate good. They
will change their course before
the nation is ruined as France
has been ruined.
The way of dictator is not
the American way. 1t has been
shown that a dictator must, sway
the simple minds of the nation
before he can gain the power he
needs, and orice having gained
that power he finds the simple
minds which gave him his power
the easier to,coptrol.
In nation where there are
enough unthinking people 10
give one man supreme power,
there afe enough to provide a
majority, subjugation later. They
are(his tools in politics and slaves
hi his government.
The wave OF dictatorship
under VARIOUS names has been a
natural result OF weakness fol-
lowing war. 1t has swept Europe,
but whether it reaches into the
United States depends upon re
saneness OF our own thinking
during the next few months. Our
standard Of intelligence should
be high enough to guide us into
a better course.

BY Logan Clendening. NJ. d.
HAVE just been sitting in on
q conference between an ortho-
pedic surgeon and young, would
be football star. The young man
= 10 years old and looks as husky
as a heavyweight champ. He has
been playing football, but was
slowed up by something the matter
with his back.
The orthopedic surgeon said
something like this to him: II
don't know how much good it will
do, but / am going to forbid you to
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1940-09-02

play football next fall, and I don't
know whether you will be able TO
play a year from now or not. To
tell you the truth, think. you
should never play football again.
