the stage some nine years ago, Is
another drama in the cycle by which
Miss Crothers seeks to prove that
a woman in love isn't very bright,
No matter how keen she is in other
respects-her heroine here is a
brilliant writer of best-Seller ro-
mances-she is an emotional llllt-
crate when the proper chemical
compound comes along in the shape
of a man. 1t is a point that has
been pretty thoroughly labored by
this time. Apparently, however, it
IS one that will prove dramatic
until the species accepts the cynical
estimate of love as jest and refuses
to be a party to it. That hardly
looks imminent; at least not out our
window.
The Misses Carson and Crawford
team effectively as the ladies who
meet in refined battle over the
wayward, wandering heart of the
formers husband. The accent is
rather upon the Crawford role, OF
course. She is the novelist. Mary
Howard, whose suave publisher
CHerbert MarshalD has mastered
the language of love sufficiently to
divert her from honest Jimmy Lee
CTaylor), a blunt, agile-minded
newspaperman. The trouble with
Jimmy seems to be a light-hearted-
ness which, in the novelist's mind,
contrasts unhappily with the So
lemnity of the publisher.
1t is rather an interesting char
acter, the second Crothers' creation
to be interpreted by Miss Crawford,
and she makes of it rather better
thing than a few Crawford portray
ais we seem to remember. There
Is warmth in the role and puzzle
ment, flashes of wisdom and a ca
pacity for love, and Miss Crawford
manages them all satisfactorily.

AS for the rest of her characters,
Miss Crothers-whose play was
adapted by Anita Loos and S. K.
Lauren-is almost as conventional
as Dorothy Dix. The wife, played by
Miss Carson, is another member of
the sex who has put up with a
husband whom she understands
with the patience of a sacrificial
heifer, although he never was worth
understanding. 1t is an attitude
that works out as it probably should
in that after a cozy boudoir chat,
the wife and other woman not only
understand each other but also have
a deeper understanding of the
boyishly predatory male. Miss
Carson, beautiful, gay and vivacious,
is back in her Mrs. Chips mood. She
honors it. And vice versa.
Taylor, as the sort of home spun
heroic newspaperman who gives the
impression of mocking the finer
emotions, despite deep admiration
for them, is cast in another one of
those parts which should help efface
the memory of him as a merely
handsome film actor. In combining
minor villainies with his essentially
fine qualities, he is a much more
impressive fellow than he used to
be when he played the faultless
fellow.
Much of the comedy of when
Ladies Meet is provided by the
f1ustery, feather Drained female who
is played by Spring Byington. She
is lady, typical Crothers char
acter, who is supposed to be as
f1ighty and foolish as the play
wright's other men are supposed to
be solemn and caddish. She does
it very well, just as Marshall does
the other man,
Chances are that it is your pic
ture If you like Miss Crothers. Most
women always have.

ures to protect Honolulu's strategic

crews. Each crew member must
obtain an identification card from
the port captain before December l.
Affected are vessels of which the

Text of Rooseve|ts Armistice Day Address

The Dutch. The Serbs. The
Beleians. The Norwegians. The
Greeks
We know il now.
We know that II was. in literal
truth. to make the world safe for
democracy that We took up arms
in 1917. 1t was. in simple truth
and in literal fact, to make the
world habitable for decent and
self-reSpecting men that those
whom We now remember gave
their lives. They died TO prevent
then the very thing that now. a
quarter century later. has hap
pened from one end of Europe 10
the other.
Now that il has happened we
know in full the reason why they
died.
We know also what obligation
and duty their sacrifice imposes
upon us. They did not die 10
make the world safe for decencv
and selfrespect for 5 years OF
10 or maybe 20 They died TO
make il safe. And if. by some
fault of ours who lived beyond
the war, its safety has again been
threatened then the obligation
and the duty are ours. Ii is in
our charge now. as it was Amer
lca'S charge after the Civil War.
to see 10 it that these dead shall
not have died III vain" Sergt
York spoke thus of the cynics and
doubters: The thing they forget
is that liberty and freedom and
democracy are so very precious
that you do not fight to win them
once and stop. Liberty and free
dom and democracy are prizes
awarded only to those peoples
who fight TO win them and then
keep fighting eternally to hold
them"
The people of America agree
with that They believe that
liberty is worth fighting for. And
if they are obliged to fight they
will fight eternallv to hold it.
This duty We owe, not TO our
selves alone. but to the many
dead who died to gain our free
dom for us-to make the world
a place where freedom can live
and grow into the ages.

The Presidents speech at Ar
lngton Cemetery today tollolrS:
Among the great days of ma
tional remembrance. none is
more deeply moving to Ameri-
cans of our generation than
the 11th of November. the an
niverSary of the armiStice Of
1918. the day sacred to the men,
Ory OF those who gave their lives
in the war which that day
ended.
Our observance of this ami
verSary has particular slgnlf-
canoe in the year 194l.
For We are able today as We
were not always able in the past
to measure our Indebtedness TO
those who died
A few years ago. even a few
months. We questioned, some OF
us. the sacrifice they had made.
Standing near to the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier, Sergt. York
of Tennessee on recent day
spoke to such queStioners. There
are those in this country today
said Sergt. York. who ask me
and other veterans of World War
No. /. What did it get you?''
Today we know the answer
all of us. All who search their
hearts in honesty and candor
know it.
We know that these men died
TO save their country from ter
rible danger of that day. We
know, because we face that dam
ger once again on this day.
What did it get you?'
People who asked that ques-
ton of Sergt. York and his COM
radeS forgot the one essential
fact which every man who looks
can see today.
Danger That Threatened
L. S. in 1917 Was Real.
They forgot that the danger
which threatened this country
in 1917 was real-and that the
sacrifice of those who died
averted that danger.
Because the danger was over

Because our freedom was secure
they took the security Of our
freedom for granted and asked
why those who died 10 save 1t

What did il get you?"

If our armies of 1917 and 1918
had lost there would not have
been man or woman in America
who would have wondered why
the war was fought The reasons
would have faced US everywhere.
We would have known why
liberty is worth defending as
those alone whose liberty is lost
can know II. We would have
known why tyranny is worth de-
featlng as sonly those whom
tyrantS rule can know.
But because the war had been
won We forgot. some OF us. that
the war might have been lost.
Whatever We knew or thought
We knew a few years or months
ago. We know now that the
danger of brutality and tyranny
and slavery to freedom loving
peoples can be real and terrible.
We know why these men fought
to keep our freedom-and Whv
the wars that save peoples
liberties are wars worth fighting
and worth Winning-and at any
