In all human relations, and an al

Just the same. however, the boys
with the idea of play about a
critic have been content merely to
talk it over during the cocktail
hours.
Now. however, a change seems to
be coming over them. a new and
surprising bravado which may ex-
pose the critic to his public far more
mercilessly than his own self-re-
vealing opinions ever have. It is
rather definite that the first play
about critic, by Samson Raphael
son, will be ready for mid january
production. Not much is being
revealed of Mr.. Raphaelson's atti-
tude toward critics as expressed in
the play. nor even about its theme.
beyond the fact that it deals with
the spiritual and emotional strug-
gles' of fellow in the business.
That might mean anything, of
course.
More indicative of an aggressive
attitude on the subject is the title
OF another play reported in the
offing, a little number called Lets
Kill a Critic"
A happy fate for them might
portend something of a deluge-or
at least storm.

incidentally, major casting
problem has been solved by Director
Leon Askin Mr. Askin thought it
would lend to the proper atmosphere
for 'TroiluS and Cressida' if he
could equip the Grecian hero, Achil-
les. with a pet lion cub. The Zoo
seemed as likely a place as any to
find a lion cub. so Mr.. Askin went
around there. Man at the Zoo said
he didn't have lion club he could
loan out at the moment, But. per-
haps being a critic at heart. he told
Mr. Askin he could let him have q
full-grown black jaguar for the run
Of the play-if Civic had enough
actors to replace those which prob
ably would be eaten nightly.
Mr.. Askin compromised on black
great Dane, ever so full grown

prefers good rare beef to you-know-
what, with or without rye bread.

has it inspired them to ask? Do
the questions indicate thinking in
broad, general terms, such AS how
will Europe be realigned after the
war. or who will win the war. or
are they the same old personal ques-
tions they always have asked?"

were a little surprised at the peo-
pie. or perhaps at the question.

people change very much in their

The fact is the war has changed
the questions asked by theater and

nature of them. That is to say
they are just as personal as ever.
I don't think one in 5000 persons
has asked me anything about the
war that is more personal than:
Will John be drafted. and if he is,
will he come back and keep his
promise TO marry me?'
"As for who will win the war,
nobody asks me that-maybe on
the assumption that it is a matter
Of military intelligence, not my
kind"
In way it may be discouraging
but it does indicate that people still
are people and curious about love
and money instead of darker and
more cosmic problems.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A Defense
Fair" the biggest public exposition
since the Worlds Fair, will open in
New York next month. designed to
give the citizen an intimate glimpse
OF his country's drive for military
preparedness.
Plans for the fair, to be conducted
from September 20 through October
18, have been announced by George
A. Sloan, commissioner of commerce
of New York City.
The fair will occupy all four floors
of Grand Central Palace-a floor
space of more than four acres. 1t
Will be aimed at educating the public
as to the Nations defense needs, and
giving manufacturers an opportunity
to demonstrate how they are CO.
operating with the defense program.
Two-thirds of the exhibits, Mr..
Sloan says, will be provided by the
Government and the other third by
the defense industries.
Proceeds from the fair. to be con-
Quoted by newly formed nom

Exposition, Inc, will be divided be-

Plans call for special emphasis on
the civilian side of the defense
problem and will include exhibits

safety, defense housing and such
problems as social security, medical
justice, food, clothing and recreation.

of conquest by force was under
way, accompanied by methods of
governing the conquered peoples
that are rooted mainly in savagery
and barbarism"
This situation calls for "ever-in-
creasing preparations for our ma
tional defense and ever-increasing
production of military supplies both
for ourselves and for those who are
resisting the would-be world con-
querors,' he asserted. adding:
"On these points there should be
absolute unity among the American
people, in the first place. and among
the other free peoples who have not
yet been conquered"
Then striking an optimistic note.
he said that with full effort and
eVer-increasing production and prep
aration for defense, whenever and
wherever such defense is most ef-
fective, successful resistance to
the present world movement of in

and, in my judgment, undoubtedly
will be made"
Mr. Hull, who had maintained
daily contact with the State De-
partment and White House and was
active in formulating all vital de-
cisions on foreign policy during his
absence, appeared in greatly i'm
proved health after his long rest.
Although he recovered quickly
from bronchial ailment suffered
early in June. his physician then
advised an extended period of quiet
and relaxation to enable him to
regain his strength fully and attain
