Play Success
.AiPuyallup

Is Distinct Hit

The antidote for bad humor
seems TO be good humor. One feels
fairly safe. then, in saying that
anyone out OF sorts Friday night
who betook himself to the Puyal-
lup high school auditorium. quick
ly forgot his grudge against the
world and fell right in with the
spirit of the occasion.
The occasion was the school mu-
sic departments presentation Of
In Old Vienna" This romantic
musical comedy by Alan Benedict
won the audience from the very
start-from the gay, lifting over
ture by the school orchestra to the
final scene in which the whole cast
sang, Il Can't Get Along Without
jimmy
A generous quantity of humor Of
the exaggerated sort was supplied
by one Captain Kinski and his two
ridiculously-d essed assistants,
Bumski and Rumski. This satire
on detectives was hilarious.
Ray Daily played, with easy
naturalness, the part Of Captain
Kinsky. Deane Hesley and Doug
las Morrison. as Bumski and
Rumski. were also very funny.
AS iona, gypsy girl, Eleanor
Reynolds delighted the audience
whenever she went into her capu-
waiting gypsy dance.
Delmar Workman was amusing,
too. as an advertising expert whose
jokes were distinctly unfunny to
the players themselves, but whose
forced laughter made an immense
hit with the audience.
Others in the play were Dave
Judd, Ned Jordan, Marcie Frater,
Raymond Elliott. Novella Cochran,
Martin Wentworth, Alice Eckert
and a host of others cast as tour
lists. burghers, Viennese maidens,
walters and gypsies.-J. M.

asked Gandhi whether he
would claim statutory independ-
ence while Britain was engaged in
war against Germany.
LOYAL to Britain
How can / when Britain's own
fate hangs in the balance ?" He re-
piled. What I want is an I'M
equivocal declaration Of policy, and
immediate action so far as prac-
teal. The legal transfer Of power
must await, perhaps, the conclu-
sion of the war. Meanwhile, We
must be treated as free nation"
Then / asked about demands in

Civil disobedience will be start
ed when am sure that 30 far as
it is humanity possible, non-violence
will be strictly observed" he said.
Called to Meeting
Despite his more than 70 years,
Gandhi seemed vigorous. Our dis
cussion was interrupted when he
was called to a meeting Of the
congress working committee, al
though he does not possess even
the necessary four annas for the
lowest price membership in the
congress. After the meeting he
took a bucket bath behind screen
mating, then resumed our inter-
view.
Volunteer guards in blue shorts,
khaki shirts and sugar loaf caps

Gandhi's hut. Hickory STATS were
their only weapons.

only because / was accompanied
by DR.. Rajendra Prasad, outgoing
president of the congress, who in
troduced me.
Gandhi stressed that there were
two aspects to Indian indie
moral and legal.
II should like to have this dis
tinction between the legal and
moral positions understood because
1t Is most important" he said.
He also resffirmed his belief in
prohibition and handicrafts as nee
essary to the happiness of the
Indian people. (Subhas Bose re-
Gently called for industrialization
of India, and described prohibition
and handicrafts as merely Gandhi's
personal hobbies.)
Still Vegetarian
Gandhi rises every day at 4 a.
m, takes at least two cold baths
a day and sticks to his vegetable
diet.
As we talked, his famous steel
trimmed spectacles were perched
on the middle Of his nose.
Commenting on the assassina-
ton In London this week of Sir
Michael O'Dwyer. former lieu
tenant governor Of the Punjab,
Gandhi said, II can only reiterate
what l have said-that is was an
act of insanity without political
significance. II has been deeply
regretted"
