With Rpfret

We read in Saturdays papers OF
the passing from the screen and
stage of life OF John Barrymore.
The bearer of the title OF The
Great Profile was an unusual type
even among those OF his kind and
OF which he was the most vitality
luminous. Newspaper scribes were
want at times TO gently ridicule
his "eccentricities" but there were
unhidden depths and concealed
wells OF pure Humanitarian in the
man. unsupported by the ordinary
mortal. To Barrymore the whole
of life was stage and upon its
boards he was the actor.
Along with Bill walker. former
ly well-known singer OF songs AMI
later an emcee. we waited one en-
tire night just TO meet Barrymore.
Debonair. nonchalant with the air
OF don't give hang. yet withsl
an affability and comraderie that
was as unassuming as one could
expect. He was the type Of man
you could not help but admire
and like although on and off the
stage. he sometimes played the
part OF the button.
Barrymore was the Prince
Charming of the Royal Family of
Barrymores. The one Glittering
Jewel in the Crown OF Theatrical
Renown. achieved by members OF
a family who numbered among rs
members the late John
Drew who was known 10 an uncle

the elusive shadows OF Make-be-

John Barrymore was not one to
cater 10 the great in finance or
10 the socalcd Fifth Avenue Set.
Among the likeable things of the
man were hie congeniality when
among just ordinary folk. To these
he never showed off" We feel
that when among those who came
to fawn. those who because of so
cial rank or financial power (the
ones most prone to fawn) The
Great Profile reverted 10 character

luck. The outcome Of the Battle
Of Britain, in 1910, gave us more
time to prepare for war. At a cost
of 100000 casualties, the Russian
Army granted a years reprieve to
American rearmament in 1941, and a
second year of grace In 1912. Never
theless, the element still most fever
ishly required is time-a minimum
of eight months more, until the ma
tional effort can attain its promised
peak in June, 1943.
To sum up, many snarls, some of
great perplexity, remain to be un-
raveled. Important engagements of
"the Battle of the Potomac" have
not yet been joined. Transition
from a peacetime to war economy
brought about inevitable mistakes
But in regard to nearly every prob
lem it can be said that solution Is
under way, or at least plan for a
solution. Washington's log jam
principal bottleneck of the program
appears to have been broken. The
record stands that in the autumn
of 1912 the Roosevelt administration
at last "got down to business" in the
job of fighting the war.

The Treasury asserts that spending

this alarming picture rests on Con-

That disunity survives in the Cap
