NEW YORK., July 15.-Looking
back on a lackluster Broadway sea
bon. now empty as a sheet strung
ON a back yard line. one name
comes especially to mind. The own
er Of this name is a somewhat
windy prophet in the sense maj
Dizzy Dean, before he went gloom
ily back to Tulsa, was windy with
his nromises of what he would DO
in the future.
what made Dean such a curl
ously compelling figure was that
most Of his boasts stood up. Will
liam Saroyan is a good deal like
that.
Saroyan is an American-born Ar
menian. He is only 80 now, yet
he has written eight books Of short
stories and three plays, one OF
which was awarded this years Pu-
liter prize for the drama. This
play was THE Time of Your Life
Personally I didn't care much TOR
it. But when the award was made
and Saroyan was asked to COM
ment on it, he said. Probably it
is a great play"
Those who know Saroyan
not offended by his supreme
self-assurance. His is an ingrati-
ating sort Of personality that
makes you want to like him. He
has a long head in the sense that
his chin is a long way from the top
of his forehead. He has a lot OF
hair on that head which is dark.
His chin is strong and affirma-
tive. He likes to write about the
people who haunt waterfront bars
in his native San Francisco. He
also likes to loiter around tn e
Broadway shops and talk with his
cronies Of the theater and press.
There is a waiter in a Sind
street bar who always waits on
Saroyan when he has dinner in
that particular inn. This waiter has
been dubbed after the name Of
n of New York's better known
columnists because he always
seems supplied with SO much live
ly gossip. I happened to walk in
there one night just as Saroyan
and George Jean Nathan, the cri-
tic, were leaving.
I said. That was Saroyan, vas
MT it? What was he saying?"
The. waiter laughed and S a j d.,
He was quoting Ernest Heming-
way" 1t was a remark Mr.. Hem.
ingway once made about Mr.. Sar-
Cyan. 1t was Merely being an
Armenian, Bill isn't enough to in
sure literary greatness" Probably
Saroyan and Hemingway don't
think so much of each other. l
wouldn't know.
But I can tell you that Saroyan
thinks a great deal of Saroyan.
He should. So should Broadway,
and America for that matter. I
like him as a character more than
as a playwright. He makes good
talk. He never merely comes on
to a scene. He arrives with a ring
ing Saroyan hurrah. He is impet.
uous, loud. and altogether sin.
cere. He thinks his plays and his
short stories are great. The peo-
pie in them almost without ex-
ception are from the half-world
Of the underprivileged. They la
Dor at rude chores, and they are
liars and boosters. But, down deep
inside, each is fundamentally a
philosopher and each has an abid-
ing faith in the goodness of human
nature.
This, I am positive, is MIR.
Saroyan's own point of view. In
sum, he is a sort of adult Tom
Sawyer whose Mississippi is the
broad American theater and
whose Aunt Polly is an audience
which, however, chastised and
leased, always forgives him in the
end. 2

mineton's business is actually under a handi.
cap from lack of sufficient pennies.
There is one way in which the people of the
city can help the banks. Tha is to keep their
PENNIES on the move all the time. Children's
banks might be broken open and the pennies
therein replaced with larger coins, thus re-
leasing the pennies into circulation. There
probably are several thousand of the little
coins thus in seclusion. Their use now would
ease the strain.
