Just One Of Cast

The hero is merely one Of the
cast with whom Miss Hayes
plays emotional tag around the
Nazi overlords.
There is no spokesman for
Mr.. Anderson's most eloquent
vocabulary - his vocabulary OF
anger. Plainly he needed some
male voice, IL only out of SUBJ
plot, raised in vehement protest
against the Nazi outrage.
The ending is deliberately
equivocal and is not good enough
for all of the emotion implicit
in the subject and the situation.
Candle in the Wind" never
fully arouses all the emotion II
should, and doesn't release even
the emotion il arouses.

melodrama is not melodramatic,
and his pledge of victory seems
as empty and uninspired as q
bond salesman's promise.
His nonresident hero engages
in a couple Of catch-as-catch-
can scenes with Miss Hayes, and
the rest is a minor debate be-
tween the heroine and the Nazi
DULLES over why they won't let
the hero out.
The love scenes lack the
grieving ecstasy Of lovers
doomed to separation; they lack
real dramatic stature and sing
ing sorrow.

AndersOn'S
New Play
Isn't Much
By JOHN ANDERSON
Init News Service Dramatic Critic


NEW YORK. Nov. 1.
ME HAVE, I suppose, no play
w wright over whose work the
critics and the public differ more
sharply than Maxwell Anderson.
In spite of objections from
several of us who failed to see
the glories in "Winterset" and
High Tor" the Critics Circle
gave its laurel wreaths to both
those plays while the cash Gus
toners looked on with what
amounted to apathy If not aston
ishment.
When the playgoers clasped
THE Star Wagon" to their sol
vent bosoms In spite OF the crtti-
cal damnation they did so for
the usual popular reason--he
put no more strain on the audi
ence than "Abie's Irish Rose"
did, and the nourishment value
ran no higher than soothing
syrup.
NOW a DISAPPOINTMENT
Last year when he at least
tried a big subject on a high
plane in Journey to Jerusalem"
/ was among those willing to
salute him for making a good
try.
But Candle in the Wind" his
new vehicle for Helen Hayes,
seems to leave even his stanch-
est admirers without an adjec-
tive to stand on.
At the moment In his career
when he should be hitting his
stride, and with a subject that
should command his greatest
heart and warmest emotion, he
turns out theater piece that ID
trite, pompous, empty and,
what Is more amazing, almost
entirely devoid of the canny,
sure-fire theatrical sense with
which he has managed to win
his audiences against what /
hope has been their own better
judgment.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. y AT
2lS O'Clock Saturday afternoon
the submarine surfaced about SEQ
TO 500 yards from the Agwlworld,
which was 20 miles off the Santa
Cruz coast
The submarine was in the sun
track. making it hard 10 see.
I was looking out Of a port hole
and happened TO see II just before
she fired the first shot without
any warning signal.
At once ! ordered the ship hard
around so the sub wouldn't have
us broadside, but II did not fire a
torpedo.
If IL did I didn't see il and no
one in my crew of 50 did.
FIRED 8 SHOTS
The sub fired eight shots in all.
! suppose they were five inch
shells.
The first four shots landed
about Is yards away from the
ship.
The rest of the shots were con-
siderably off because by that time
] was able 10 show them the stern
and zig-zag the ship.
The sub was about 300 feet long.
II appeared 10 be Of a japanese
type. At the distance she stood
from us il was impossible TO dis
Germ the nationality of her crew.
No shell fragments struck the
ship and apparently the sub made
no attempt 10 chase US in shore.
II wasn't easy for the sub 10
naaneuveF because rough sea
was running.
The five or six men manning the
gun on the sub began scrambling
down the coming tower and the
sub started 10 submerge about
half an hour after she fired the
first shot.
Her firing was accurate enough
considering the adverse weather
conditions. If we had had a gun
maybe we could have shown them
more accurate fire.
HIT-RUN ATTACK
I suppose her commander gave
the order TO submerge, fearing
that aid was on the way for us.
The sub made hit-and-run at
tack. nothing else, and why she
didn't fire a torpedo is mystery.
The only kind Of Identification
we could make out was the kind
Pearl Harbor got. An attack
without warning.
My crew acted just as any
American crew would act in a
similar emergency Every man
took his station and there was
nothing resembling panic among
them They all said
eff we only had a gun"
My first thought was 70 get
the Agwiworld out OF the Subma,
