John Barrymore

One necessarily must be at least
forty years of age to remember John
Barrymore as he was at the apex of
his career as an authentic star of
the American theater. He was born
in 1882, made his stage debut in 1908
and attained the highest peaks of
his artistry between 1915 and 1925.
His first triumph was in the un-
forgettable role of Falder in Gals
worthy's "Justice"-a part to which
he gave an Interpretation sympa-
thetic beyond the power of words to
tell; even his silences were eloquent
of the essential pathos of the char
acter as he portrayed it.
So, toe, Mr.. Barrymore's repre-
sentation Of Du Maurier's Peter
Ibbetson" was plaintive and affecting
to a degree new in the experience Of
audiences approximately a quarter
of century ago. His brother Lionel

enough to lead to q similar sharing

efficiency in the prosecution OF a war
program. We set up systems, create
commissions and legislate, thinking that
in these we shall solve our complex
problems, only to live from day to
day in anticipation of new disclosures
of contentious and strife. Far as we
have advanced we have long road yet
to travel When Christ would define
good -neighbor policy He made selfless-
ness and self lf-giving and kindness it's
cardinal principles. Virtue cannot be
legislated into men and women. Penal
and other disciplinary institutions are
necessary, but one would hardly call
them beneficent in their influence. Chari-
table and eleemosynary institutions
serve their purpose in easing afflicted
men and women over hard places, but
they can never prove substitutes for in
dividual and personal ministrations.
The Good Samaritan way Of life is
way that as yet the world in general
has not tried. 1t gives lip service to it,
applauds it as an ideal but does not
practice it. Under the "bludgeonings of
fate" it may be compelled to practice
its precepts. Certain 1t is that our cum
ningly devised schemes and plans have
fallen far short of proving effective
We have justified pride in our Ameri-
can way of life, for it has done more
for us than the ways of other peoples,
and for this we should be thankful but
an excess of pride, especially in these
exacting days, makes us Indifferent to
what we must do in the present as
we'll as the immediate future
A static condition is not profitable
We need more of the Good Samaritan
spirit. 1t entails inconvenience and
possible sacrifice, but these are good
for us. Some day we shall have to be a
party to world readjustment. God de-
liver us from another Versailles treaty
with its selfish bargaining and intrigue
American may prove to be the Good
Samaritan nation, at least this is a
laudable ambition There is a COM
pensation that is greater than the sat-
isfaction of material gain or the
acquisition Of extended territory; it is
the compensation that accrues to a
way of life that is truly generous and
that pauses not at sacrifice.

lives on Massachusetts, avenue. 1t was
his colleague, Representative Allen T.
Treadway Of Massachusetts,, who was re-
sponsible for getting him the business.
The young woman had very nice riding
habit which she desired to have made
over into a bicycling costume. At
cocktail party her mother, who had
heard that Representative Bishop had
been tailor, asked Mr.. Treadway about
him. The result is that Mr.. Bishop in
vited the mother to bring the daughter
to his office, and he is reshaping her
sports costume. Mr.. Bishop is famous
for his versatility. Before coming to
Congress, he worked as a coal miner
telephone lineman, played professional
football and baseball, and managed
teams, was city clerk and postmaster in
his home town, special representative of
the International Association of Lions

Reinhard Heydrich, acting Reich'S
"protector" of Bohemia Moravia, is
a grim repetition of the age-old
truth that terror begets terror in
return. Next to his notorious chief,
Heinrich Himmler, Heydrich is the
most feared and execrated leader of
the Gestapo, the secret political
police which oppresses Germans and
non-Germans alike. Like his chief,
Heydrich is young in years. being
only 80. but he has long had an evil
reputation for ruthless cruelty. With
his thin face, brutal mouth and
close-set eyes, he certainly looks the
part which in Germany itself has
earned him the epithet of "Heydrich
der Henker' Heydrich.
His first noteworthy outside job"
began last September. when he
replaced Baron Constantin Won Neu-
rath as protector" Of Bohemia
Moravia Won Neurath, a career
official dating from the pre-Nazi
regime, was thought in Berlin to
have been too lenient in his ham
ding Of the Czechs. So he resigned"
and Heydrich was put in his place.
The hangman began with charac-
teristically terrorist flourish, execut-
ing some $50 victims in the first fort
night of his rule. For the ensuing
eight months Bohemia -Moravia has
groaned under his iron hand, but
sabotage has continued and the
Czech spirit has not been broken.
Heydrich recently had returned to
Prague from trip to France and the
Netherlands, where he had studied
the volcanic situation in those sub
ject lands and instituted fresh meas
ures of repression. Czech circles in
London believe the attempt on his
life may have been either protest
against his current order conscript-
ing Czech youths for service in Rus
sia or because of rumors that Hitler
has decided to abolish even the SEM
blance of Czech national identity
by summary incorporation Of Bo-
hemia- -Moravia into the Reich.
Whatever the cause, the attack
probably was planned by self-consti-
tuted conspirators out of touch with
the Czech government in exile. This
regime has consistently advised the
Czech people to avoid open violence
and terrorism, realizing that such
acts would give the Nazis an excuse
for wholesale reprisals which might
cost the lives Of many outstanding
Czech patriots and thus disrupt their
secret organizations. That is just
what seems to be happening. Whole
sale arrests are taking place. and
large-scale executions already have
begun. In the last analysis, Heydrich
is merely a cog in the diabolical Ges-
tapo machine. There are others of
the same stripe ready to replace him.

Hiqhwuy Robbery Defined

In reporting favorably to the House
the Hobbs bill to make labor unions
liable to prosecution under the 1884
i-Racketeering Act, the House
Judiciary Committee has moved
wisely to plug serious loophole in
the Federal crime laws. This loop
hole was shown to exist in a recent
Supreme Court decision that unions
were beyond the scope of the anti
racketeering statute, and there have
been fragrant abuses by some union
agents, especially in the New York
trucking field.
But, as Representative Hobbs said
In support of his measure, highway
robbery is highway robbery whether
the perpetrator holds union card
or not" 1t is difficult to find any
basis for claims of union representa-
tives that the Hobbs bill is "anti-
labor" The legislation merely
declares that whoever, in any way
or degree, obstructs, delays or affects
commerce, or the movement OF any
article or commodity in commerce,
by robbery, shall be guilty of
felony" and it defines extortion as
"the obtaining of property from an
other, with his consent, induced by
wrongful use of actual or threatened
force, violence or fear, or under color
of official right" If a labor union or
members of a union violate these
robbery or extortion provisions, they
should be entitled to no privileged
status under the law. But the pro-
posed statute in no way impedes or
interferes with legitimate labor
activities.

This phrase is on the lips of men and

every public speaker alludes to it, and

when the President probably wished that
the r. F. C. had thrown caution to the

Now the emphasis in the vast opera

Many of those shocks inevitably viii

Topsy-Turvy

Complaint is often made that this
is topSy- -turvy world, and it is diff
cult to refute the claim. The JapS,
for instance, insist that they are
fighting for the liberation of China,
the Philippines and India. The Nazis,
taking on an even bigger task, are
going to save the entire world from
disaster. Not only do men bite dogs,
but fish catch men, at least when
the fish are sharks and the men are
survivors from torpedoed ship. And
now, from the domestic front in New
York, comes similar story of the
upside down. A burglar there ac-
tually employs a watch dog.
Or rather, he did. His technique
was simple and effective. When he
went out on business, which consisted
of ransacking houses whose dwellers
were known to be away, instead of
hiring a helper to stand outside and
act as lookout, he decided to cut
down on overhead by employing a
watch dog, who would do the job for
a hamburger instead of 20 per cent
of the loot. He got away with it for
quite while, but finally the burglars
best friend, the dog, let him down by
going to sleep and falling to report
the premature return of the house
holder. The burglar was captured,
and thus another small businessman
went to the wall-to four of them, In

lily" dominated the whole world of
make-believe for the moment. The
tradition they had inherited from
their parents they glorified with their
own zeal and toll.
1t suited John Barrymore toward
the close of his life to pretend that
he had been indolent, irresponsible,
"a very devil Of fellow" but in fact,
he was a careful student, tireless
seeker for perfection in his craft, a
faithful and generous friend and
comrade to the great majority of
those with whom he was associated.
In New York he was legend for his
adventures; on the road he was
"a story" wherever he chose to show
his famous profile" Especially after
he became universally popular in
movies and in radio, he was followed
by throngs whenever he essayed the
street. His fan mail" after Grand
Hotel" and Dinner at Eight" broke
all existing records.
Mr.. Barrymore, 1t surely in fair
ness should be mentioned, did not
cease to be a magnificent actor when
he ceased to be matinee idol" The
clowning which lately he did for
Rudy Vallee was no mere accidental
impromptu. On the contrary, it dem
onstrated his genius as much as any
serious enterprise in which he ever
was engaged His wit was a creation
of his unconquerable spirit. 1t hap
pened that he suffered much, but he
did not complain. The last of his
cinema endeavorS was Mercutio in
the Romeo and Juliet" of Leslie
Howard and Norma Shearer, and he
will be remembered crying: "A
plague O. both your houses!" yet he
was more truly Hamlet and the final
tribute of Horatio therefore applies
to him: Now cracks a noble heart"
