entirely out of 1t. This they do and carry on quite successfully for some time as the husband seeks to find his niche in the turbulent Washing ton picture, aiming chiefly at try ing to bring about an anicable un- oerstanding among Britain, the United States and Fire so that the latter will agree to becoming a United Nations base. Since this mat ter hasn't been settled yet, you can imagine that Barry also has to leave 1t up in the air. Personally I still don't quite understand just what Barry's hero succeeded in doing about the matter.
 But that's beside the point. The without love" marriage finally strikes a snag, of course, with the wife finding herself in love with her husband, After considerable backing and filling she gets the idea across and he also discovers he is in love with her. Curtain.
 Smooth Cohension Lacking
 There are some right sprightly lines in the dialogue, as might be expected from Barry, but there does not seem to be enough of them. Fire keeps getting in the way and that situation isn't very funny even though the author does try to ex- tract some wry humor out of 1t with a couple of scenes between a Brit ish and an Irish official. Things seem to be at their peppiest when Miss Audrey Christie is on stage playing the role of an outspoken somewhat susceptible secretary, but the side issue of her romance with married man doesn't fit well into the general picture.
 In short, there is no smooth CO., hesion of the parts and I'll just have to put this down as inferior Barry serving as a vehicle for Miss Hepburn,
 The star comports herself cap- ably at all times and, as the char acter brightens up in the last two acts, she is enabled to exercise to the full that particular charm which makes her at the same time an exasperating and engaging person ality. The play doesn't add to her stature as an actress, but then it is beginning to look as though she may not have the equipment to be- come one of the great ones of the stage. Popular and successful, yes but the future some of us saw foi her a few years ago remains ir the future.
 Supporting Miss Hepburn and Nugent besides Miss Christie are Tony Bickley, Ellen Morgan, Rob- ert Shayne, Sherling Oliver, Robert Chisholm, Neil Fitzgerald and Royal Beal.

As a matter of plain reporting, I cared little for this new Barry play or for the Hepburn performance, capable as it was in some spots, but the crowded house that sat through 1t with me seemed generally pleased and the overheard remarks at intermisslons were on the favor able side. Great stuff for the fem mine trade, anyway.
 Barry's story mixes up the inter- national situation and a purposely loveless marriage. Tn my opinion world affair came off second best, In vague way one was reminded of s. N, Behrman's mingling of world crisis and polite comedy in his No Time for Comedy" of about five years ago. That wasn't one of Behrmans best either.
 Both Finished" With Love
 Miss Hepburn has the role of Jamie Coe Rowan, wealthy young widow, daughter of deceased Maine senator. The untimely death of her adored husband in hunting accident has left her humorless and cold, never wishing again to be bothered with love because the one she had was so perfect. Into the picture steps Patrick Jamieson, capahH played by Elliott Nugent, a brayh young minor diplomat just returned after years in Europe who feels he has a miSsion--this is in the spring of l940 = to wake up Americans to what is ahead of them. He, too, has sworn off love, having been played for a sucker by an American beauty in Paris. After a certain amount of association they feel they are companion spirits and because she wants to come out of her shell of loneliness, the girl proposes they marry and leave love

Jews Urged 10 Inform
World Of Their P|iqht

1t is the duty of all Jews to call
attention of the world to what is
going on in Europe, where 100000
persons of the Jewish faith have
been doomed to determination, Rabbi
Adolph Coblentz of Baltimore told
a special assembly last night at Adas
Israel Synagogue,
There is too much silence, too
much ignoring of the tragedy befall-
ing us before the beasts of Ger
many" the Rabbi said. Five million
people are dying on the block and
they don't know why the response
throughout the world is so cold, so
silent. Not only Jews are failing in
this duty; the honor of the con-
science of civilization is at stake.
We must unite and go before the
tribunal of justice for the world
united when the war is won"
In his call to prayer Rabbi Norman
Gerstenfeld Of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation, said:
I'VE pray that our hearts should
understand that Israel does not
suffer alone, and Israels wounds
cannot be healed alone. Only in the
coming victory of the kingdom of
righteousness to all children of man
in the four corners of the earth, will
peace come to Israel"

|WPB Allows Transit Lines
More Parts for Next Year
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board has
authorized a Is per cent increase
in 1943 over 1912 in the produc-
ton OF repair and maintenance
parts for streetcars. trolley buses
and rolling stock of elevated and
subway systems.
The order provides that carriers
may acquire repair and maintenance
parts IN proportion to the growth in
volume of passenger service.
In authorizing increased produc-
ton OF parts, WPB said that civilian
needs in urban transportation must
be met largely with present equip
ment, since new rolling stock will be
available only in small amounts due
to the scarcity of materials and the
fact that builders now are engaged
in supplying military vehicles, ord
nance material and industrial equip
ment for war purposes.
