National Theater last night looking

National Theater last night looking
at Louisiana Purchase" again. 1t
was the stranger In view Of the
fact that the show itself has changed
so very little. It doesn't look tired
and jaded as big shows do when
they get to travelling around after
staying long time on Broadway.
Its cast, from which only Carol
Bruce is missing among the princi-
pals, has q verve and freshness and
sparkle that was hardly believable.
Companies which deal In the same
material for SO long a time some
times forget that they are its life,
and that if they are not lively the
whole thing is q waste of time.
This one isn't like that. It seemed
to be having as much fun as ever
with Hart's amiable satire on poll
tics, politicians and their beautiful
henchwomen. Mr.. Berlin's music
had the same freshness and the
dancing was something in which
every one has become perfect instead
of merely implying it was something
that could be done in a trance.
Not everything, after all, not
everything in the world changes.
Not louisiana Purchase" at any
rate. If it has changed, you'd have
to say it was for the better.
Mr.. Moore, who plays Senator'S in
a way that would make democracy
worth saving if only for the comedy
characters it produces, was never
more wonderful. His harassed little
man matching wits with the iniqui-
tour rogues, who can see nothing
wrong with stealing lumber from
the w. P. A. and selling it three
times to their own taxpayers, is
the funniest human who has been
on the stag since Alexander Throt-
tlebottom was vice president.
Senator Oliver Loganberry, you
see. has not changed either.
Nor zorina, unless perhaps it is
to become lovelier to look at and
much more skilled at elfin comedy.
She has picked up lot of tricks of
voice that somehow are more to be
expected Of Gertrude Lawrence than
of dancer and she uses them with
kind of wonderful enchantment.
If her comedy talent is STILL little
bit less than her dancing genius
it is that the, latter is u rather - .
matchless gift, one Of the most
enduring faiths this department has
ever developed.
Time, the old witherer, has done
nothing to Gaxton's way with the
part Of the political boss in
Louisiana Purchase" He still Is
the master mind of chicanery, the
fellow who can fix or frame his
way out of any mess, which takes
a lot of fixing and framing If you
happen to have been born without
moral standards as his Jimmy
Taylor was. 1t is a giddy career
that he leads as political racketeer,
one in which he gets gilded COLA
boration from Irene Bordoni.
The way they carry on, meaning
to carry on, after having given
nearly two years Of their lives to
the most literate, intelligent and
happy musical show of the last
several seasons, will surprise you.
And delight you completely-so
completely that you leave the
theater thinking that maybe it
would be good idea for De Sylvia to
keep Louisiana Purchase" running
forever. 1t carries its yearS-and
what years!-so lightly.

Furthermore, Mr.. Hale defeated
in the Republican primary this year
Representative Oliver, who had been
strong isolationist and had op-
posed the Presidents foreign and
defense policies.
1t becomes, therefore, a bit diff
cult to make convincing showing
! that Mr. Hale would be hindrance

gress--so far as the prosecution of

| There IS no doubt that Mr.. Hale
is violently anti-New Deal and is
opposed to the domestic policies of
the President. Indeed, as Mr.. Hale
points out, the II Hate Roosevelt"
article was written only to show that
he believed New Deal policies .un-
sound, and the Presidents trend was
to get away from the provisions of
the Constitution
Hale Explains His Stand.
II shall support the President
ardently when he is right" said
Mr.. Hale, "and part with him when
| he appears to me to be wrong"
Speaking of the article which ap-
peared in Harper's, Mr.. Hale in
sisted that his opponent had will
fully misconstrued it into an ex-
preston of the pettiest personal
animosity.
Had it been such an express
sion," he said you may be sure
that the editors would not have
permitted its publication. The edi-
tors, who were in sympathy with
the New Deal, thought it important
to publish an expression of honest
doubt regarding it's anti-constitu-
tional and anti-democratic trends"
Mr.. Brann asked What co-opera-
ton can Mr.. Hale give the President
and what service can he render this
district?"
| My opponent" he said, insists
that the district is safe.
Let me remind him that the man
whom he hates vociferously, articu-
lately, and the man whom he has
designated as the leading enemy of
the Republic, carried the district
against Wendell Willkie, one of the
strongest Republicans in America
who is now patriotically assisting
his commander in chief to achieve
victory.
"As Old England has given it's
vote of confidence to it's fighting
Prime Minister, Winston Churchill
so should Maine lead New England

was first nominated and elected to

George CafegO Has Recovered Old-Time Football Form

New Haven, Conn. Aug. T.-That gleam in Colonel Bob Neyland's eye, so very obvious here today as his huskies of the AlI-Army football team whipped through two tough sessions, was due to 8 knee. Not his own knee, of course, nor even Marlene Dietrich's, but that of George Cafego, one of the greatest ball-carriers he ever coached. It is evident thatt he limb is sound and tough again, as sound as before cartilage and a football career were all but ripped clear away in one driving, desperate tackle.
 A good sound leg under Cafego will mean lot to Neyland and his soldier warriors when they thun- der out onto the turf of the Polo Grounds to face the powerful New York Giants, Eastern division cham pions of the National Professional Football league, in the seventh an- nual All-Star game for the benefit of Army Emergency Relief and the Tribune Fresh Air Fund on Satur- day afternoon, Sept. 12. For phy- sically sea-worthy Cafego can carry 8 whole ball-club on his powerful shoulders.
 CitideI Tackles
 It has been three years now since two desperate Citadel tacklers caught Cafego'S knee in a human wise and all but ended his playing days. But neither Cafego nor Ney- land has forgotten. The mighty Tennessee Vols hadn't lost a game in two years when they met Citadel and Cafego met his football Water loo. It was just another game on the schedule but 1t turned out to be the most important one of the season.
 Cafego tried desperately to carry on. And when the following New Years Day, the Orange and Blue deployed on the cleat-scarred turf of the Rose Bowl, Cafego answered the opening whistle. But five plays later, he was writhing in agony on the ground. They carried him of, and Tennessee's hopes went across the sidelines with him. We just weren't the same without him." re- calls Mickey O'Brien, Tennessee trainer who is now conditioning the Army stars. we lost that ball game, 14-0, to U. s. c. but think we'd have won it by about tthe same score If Cafego had been right"
 Even the next year, as Brook lyn Dodger, George was unable to regain the form that had made him one of the greatest backs of the 1888 season, peer of Tommy Harmon. But now it's different. Army life has strengthened Cafego's knee, and he's driving and hitting with all his old fury. It's the old Cafego who's carrying leather. "He looks as good as he ever did," says OBrien, land his passing is even sharper"
 Cafego, to whom this is a reprieve "a chance to lug leather just once more, may well carry the Army to triumph just as he did the Vols in the olden. golden days when Ten nessee was tops.

An-Army And Yale
 GridderS Clash

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 27-(UP) The eastern All-Ar1ny football squad bucked up against Yale in a scrimmage late yesterday, and coaches of both teams felt the re- suits justified the encounter.
 Army's Coach Col. Boy Neyland, declared Yale's defensive tactics provided him with better insight as to what he can expect of his 61 players when they open a three game schedule Sept. 12, while Yale's Head Coach Howie Odell declared he was satisfied with the way his men stood up against the stiff as- saults of the military team.
 No attempt was made to score, although both sides broke through
