Paul NUM-, Gladys George and
John Garfield. A more acceptable
trio would be difficult to imagine,
unless one wanted to be unreason-
able enough to ask for Vivien Leigh,
Clark Gable and Mickey Rooney
or shall we say Carole Lombard?
And with all due respect to the
latter quartet, there is the matter
OF acting to be considered in con-
lection with appearances at the
National. Stage acting, you know.

the Plohn galaxy from Hollywood,

Perry, respectively. Her vehicle viii

novel appeared under the title The

wrote the original, has made the
adaptation for Mr.. Pemberton, Miss
Perry and Miss George, an adapta-
ton which has been around the
summer theater long enough to
have been completely perfected now
for a Washington and Broadway
appearance.
Mr.. MUM, who starts the parade
Of cinema names to Washington,
will appear, of course, in Key
Largo" the Maxwell Anderson
drama from Broadway which deals
with the disillusionment of an
idealist. The subject, to be sure,
is q not uncommon one but Mr..
Muni's portrait is that of an idealist
who has the poesy of Mr.. Anderson
IN whichsto state his discovery that
a man who can find nothing to die
for really has nothing for which to
live. (That proposition should have
been posthabited."
Garfleld's appearance, over which
he and Warner Bros. have phhhht
In sort of amiable fashion, will be
In Alfred Deans Heavenly Ex-

number of persons once would
have bet would be the next
Broadway vehicle for Burgess Mere

ever, to bring a whole new set of
people into the production and
playing aspects of Heavenly Ex-
press, a happy thing for those who
think Garfield has been too long
absent from the East irrespective of
the fine work he has been doing in
the West.

RABBIT BALL KILLS DEFENSIVE
 PART OF GAME.
Old Game Was Scientific and Balanced, Famous
 Georgia Peach Says

Athens, Ga, Nov. 21.-According to Ty Cobb, baseball is threatened by g much graver menace than the farm system against which Judge Landis is now waging war. There is 8 more fundamental evil which threatens the game itself. In Es- quire Christmas Annual, Ty Cobb, is quoted as saying: "Baseball's a great game but if you don't make it attractive as baseball, interest will cease. They've weakened its whole fabric by the lively ball Why? Because they've taken away l. de- fensive."
 It's about twelve years since the greatest player the game has ever known retired from pro- fessional baseball. And it's nearly twenty years since the magnates of the two major leagues began fussing with the horsehide cover and the yarn winding. During that interval the average fan has grown accustomed to home runs and bat ting rallies; it never enters his head that the present game is a compara- lively recent innovation, in many ways radically different from the game which had been developing for eighty years prior to the change.
 Tops For 12 Years
 Ty Cobb has right to comment on conditions which have arisen since home runs and two baggers took the spotlight, Esquire says, and rightly. Most fans know that Ty led the American league in batting for 12 years. And in those days, when pitchers held the big edge, when infield combinations were tight and outfielders were more than caddies, man who earned 8 per- centage of four hundred or better Gas Ty did for several seasons), had to do more than swing from his heels. Then, too, Ty didn't retire until 1928, about seven years after the new era was established, and he still keeps in close touch.
 Cobb says: "The old game was scientific; there was a nice balance between defense and offense. This made small scores. A club was sel- dom too far behind to even things up, even in the ninth inning. That kept the players on their toes-al- ways fighting for the breaks, always trying to hold down the county al- ways trying to get on the bases. A single meant a whole lot in those days. And, when you were at bat you were playing against nine men,"
 Showmanship Now
 When they changed the ball, con- tinues Esquire, they destroyed a scientific game by introducing an artificial condition. They substi- tuted showmanship for real base ball. Yaday there's very little d. fensive left the batter is the whole show. Ana, when a player Comes to bat, he's playing against six men, not nine. The outfielders play out so far they're not in the picture any more. They just relay the ball.
 "The color and the resourceful- ness and the fighting spirit are van- ishing," concludes baseball's mas ter in Esquire. Baseball is already losing out-football is getting the headlines in the sport pages be- fore the end of August. I think that if we don't go back to the old ball, baseball will lose its place as a na- tional pastime."

Gethsemane, which. with its AS
ISOLATION in the passion of o u r
Lord, has become a symbol for
crucial sufferings, was a garden.
The remembrance of this e~nforces
in u minds the strange way in
which joy and beauty are in life
almost inextricably interviewer with
pain and sorrow.
Here in the garden Jesus had
gone to pray, as He approached His
impending fate. With Him He had
taken James, Peter and John, the
strong and impulsive disciples who
were most capable of trust, and He
had told them to sit in the garden
while He went further on to pray.
He told them of His great sorrow
and of His impending death, and
asked them to remain and watch
with Him.
1t was the human Christ, craving
human sympathy and human COM
partnership in the hour Of His great
trial. But there was that in His soul
which no one could share, and so
He went forward a little. lone with
God, pouring out His soul in the
agonized petition that the cup of
suffering and final sacrifice might
pass from Him.
But even as He prayed, He rea.
lied that His destiny and the pur.
pose of His earthly mission might
be in the hands Of a higher power,
and He said, Not as 1 will, but as
Thou wilt" Then, evidently with
the yearning for this human com
partnership, He came again to the
disciples. Finding them sleeping,
He said to Peter, "What, could ye
not watch with me one hour?"
He admonished the disciples that
they must watch and pray lest they
enter into temptation, assuring
them that the spirit is willing bu|
tina. the flesh is weak. Then He
went off by Himself a second time
and prayed the same prayer-that
the cup might pass, but with the
assurance that the will of t h c
Father must be done. Again He re-
turned and found the disciples sleep
ing.
Those whose eyes h a e been
heavy with sleep, even in the midst
of duty, will understand what be.
fell the disciples and will symp.
athize with them. The flesh is in
deed weak even when the spirit is
willing. In His deep loneliness the
Master went and prayed for the
third time. But now, courage and
confidence had returned to Him.
AS He returned to the disciples,
there was nothing but gentle re.
proach in His words, arise, let us
be going; behold, he is at hand that
betrayed me-"
Cannot hard-pressed souls take
great comfort from this story of
the Master in Gethsemane? Often
we reproach ourselves that the flesh
is so weak. We feel our weakness,
and we are conscious of Jul coward
ice in the presence of some great
