naturally get self-confidencc.
Like all his kind, Dolf is digni-

Housing Project
Lively Debate Comes
After ExpIonotion by
Originator Of Plan

The Goodwillie plan TO rehabil-
itate 4 nine-block slum area In
Southwest Warrington for the use
Of war workers was Endorsed with
out . dissenting vote by the South
west Citizens Association last night
after a long and lively debate.
Following an explanation Of the
scheme by its originator, Arthur
Goodwillie Of the H. o. l.. c., the
association approved the action OF
its president, Harry 3. Wender, in
attending Congressional hearings In
support Of the project. Joseph II.
Schneider had offered . motion ex-
pressing disapproval Of the Good
willie plan and recommending that
the renovation Of the Southwest
area be intrusted to private hands.
Debate began after Mr.. Goodwillie
had left the meeting.

would obstruct the provision Of
housing accommodations vital to

similar project"
Mr.. Goodwillie, guest speaker Of
the evening, previously had empha-
sized that the project was being
considered solely on its merits Is
housing for defense, rather than
slum clearance. It might serve Is
q model, he suggested, for similar
plans in other cities having con-
veniently located neighborhoods
consisting Of substandard houses
which could readily be reconstructed
to provide additional low-rent hous-
ing for war workers.
Cites Framework Advantage.
Foremost among the advantages
of his plan, Mr.. Goodwillie ex-
planned, Is that 1t makes fullest use
Of existing building equipment and
public utilities, curtailment Of which
has been made necessary by the
war. Any alternative development
in the suburbs, he pointed out,
would not only require new building
materials but would further over
tax the present transportation sys-
tenn.
Other business conducted during
the meeting included the naming
Of r. D. Marshall to head q finance
committee to raise funds for civilian
defense and . resolution Of appreci-
alton to Louis Mitchell, retiring d.
rector Of Fairgrounds in Southwest
Washington, for his work In that
capacity. The Rev. Harry v. Porter
declared Mr.. Mitchell's loss would
set back playground work at least

ment was provided.

The wisdom of booking two weeks
in Washington for Irving Berlin's
soldier show, This Is the Army"
which opens at the National The
ater on Tuesday evening, September
%, has already been justified by the
unprece 1ented boX-office interest in
this spectacular military musical.
Playgoers have formed unbroken
lines all week at the special box
Office located in the civilian defense
booth, now manned by additional
soldier Greasurers to accelerate the
sale of seats.
The acclaim accorded the Army
show in New York, where it has
played to absolute capacity for three
months, has, of course, preceded it
here and Washington theatergoers,
therefore, were ready for it when
the seat sale was announced. From
present indications the fortnights

paragraph from Mr.. Woollcotts
biographical sketch:
kaufman Is a man who seldom
writes play without collaoorator'
who rather than let fresh vege-
table soil his lips subsists on severe
diet of meat, bread and chocolate
peppeermints; who, in the laoora-
tory work any dramatist mus 90,
limits his studies of human nature
and the American scene as Tar as
possible to the moments when he is
dummy at the New York Bridge
Club: who, while walking hatless and
alone a-down our avenues, talks
continuously to himself i'll what
appears to terrified passers-by as
a low, confidential snarl, and, who.
during the seven or eight years IN
which he was one of the most COM
petent, fertile and successfully pro-
ductive of American playwrights,
hung on with puzzling tenaciry to
the same newspaper job with which
he was, by a narrow margin, Keep
ing body and soul apart when his
first play was accepted for produc-
ton. There is Mr.. Kaufman for
you in a nutshell"
Unique as Director.
Mr.. Kaufman took the kidding in
good grace The record shows that
he remained on more than speaking
terms with his candid biographer,
that they spent many a gay hour
together thereafter, pursuing an
elusive croquet ball up at Mr.. Wocn-
colts island retreat in Vermont. 1t
was some years after that that Mr..
Woollcott was served up on siz-
zling platter in Man Who Came to
Dinner" cracking and Kissing, and
done to turn.
Among stage directors Mr.. Kauf-
man is unique. When once the
business" or the movement of the
players has been set and they have
acquired a mastery of their lines.
he devotes himself for several days
to what he terms "the beat" BY
this he means the rhythmic flow
of speech spoken on the stage. He
PAGES in the rear of the theater for
often as long as half an hour at
stretch without once looking at the
stage, his abnormally sensitive ear
| attuned to the nuance of the spoken
word. Every once in while he will
cry out, "Stop"-and will dash down
the aisle to alter the style of a
speech he feels does not flow. Pace,
tempo, "the beat"-these are Mr..
Kaufman's pet hobbies.
Actors Like His Work.
The average stage director is con-
tent to work out the details of stage
movement when once he has his
players assembled on the stage. Not
SO Mr.. kaufman. Before the first
rehearsal he has a very definite
and detailed notion of just what
everyone is going to do. and where
they are going to be when they do
it. His attitude towards actors is
one of really excessive considera-
ton. There is none of that hair
tearing or exhibitionalism so char
acteristic of the temperamental
director.
He knows what he wants and he
knows how to put it in words that
actors can understand" said one
