NEW YORK.
In these nights Of worldwide war
a drama like I'm Time to Come" Is
a striking reminder for democracies
to set our course by learning from
the well-intentioned errors OF the
past.
This snew Broadway play by
Howard Koch and John Huston is
an able journalistic document OF
the years in woodrow Wilson's ca
reer from April 2. 1917. until March
4, 1921. And the authors have
wisely told their story factually. I'M
partially and with no attempts TO
sugar-coat the unpleasant periods
with tricks 90 to be expected from
most historians who use the theater
as their medium.
I'm Time to Come" has no fictional
plot; 1t is the simple. tragic account
of the endeavors of q man to remake
the world into League OF Nations
that would outlaw war In all the
future.
The play begins with Wilson ask
ing Congress for a declaration OF
war against Germany, then moves
to that morning in 1918 when he
decides to head the American peace
delegation to Europe. Here, in
making this decision, President
Wilson. reveals characteristics which
promise to make trouble ahead for
him despite the noble and humani-
tartan ideals which are the principal
aims of his hfe.
He wants tnSeldSf justice and
mercy for every one, both the Allies
and the defeated Germans. and he Is
adamant on preserving those quah-
ties by demanding an honorable
League of Nations. But, In his Stub
born insistence upon having his own
way completely he reveals an m-
expected vanity, surprising disre-
gard for practical politics which
must be faced frankly no matter
how much they may be deplored.
Heart-Breaking Drama.
Becoming more and more irritated
as he quarrels with Clemenceau,
Lloyd George and other European
chiefs of state, he finally decides to
return home and carry his plea for
the League Of Nations direct to the
American people. Back in WASH
ington he finds growing opposition

Her portrayal Of Mae Wilenski in

the courage of her convictions. 1t
Is not her fault that the role Is
stale. or that there is not a single
character in the play that the au-

no profit in it because the install

pie for payments on this and that,

Anyway, Mr.. Wilenski, half Pole,
half American. Is a huge guy with

Wilenski is slow to suspicion or
anger, but when he does catch on
he goes slightly crazy and chokes

pretty tale? Before forget, there
is a young couple, Katherine Locke

daughters, some of whom are mar
ried, Cantor seems to have cornered

HOLLYWOOD.

What about Hollywood's starry
man power and the role 1t should
play in the war?
The question is being whispered
the length and breadth of movieland
as Uncle Sam oils up his machinery
for the registration and calling into
active military service able bodied
men between the ages of 20 and As.
Since December 8 little groups
of anxious male stars have been
gathering on sound stage corners,
in dressing rooms, wondering exactly
what they should do
One of the screens leading box
Office stars-a sturdy oak on the late
side of 30. with a small fortune
tucked away-is talking to a Gamer
man:
II can't keep on with this monkey
business now that the real thing
has started. Don't be surprised If I
don't show up one Of these days
I'm going to join up"
The star is still working in movies,
but his heart is no longer in it.
He is marking time. Many others in
his same box-office category, it is
refreshing to report, feel very much
the same way.
And yet if this star and so more

importance, too. why able-bodied
male stars should think twice be-
fore running out and grabbing a
rifle. To put 1t mildly. war costs a
pretty penny-and lot of that coin
the Government needs comes
straight of movie star pay rolls.
With the new pinch coming on,
cinema income tax returns will hit
the colossal side come next March.
Many quick to jump at conclu-
sions cannot see why, if their sons,
brothers or cousins are drafted from
civilian life, it would be fair to let
Clark Gable or Bob Taylor stick to
their seemingly silly, safe and "unes-
sential' job of making moving pic
lures.
On the other hand, 1t might be
considered how many airplanes,
tanks and other necessary war
equipment are made possible through
the tax returns of Messrs. Gable,
Taylor ct al.
Just for example, If Gable earns
$400, 900 a year-and that figure isn't
far off-under the present income
tax laws he pays 1863 ,661 Federal
tax and $22,312 California State
tax. There are half a dozen other
male stars in this same wage brack-
ct, each turning over amounts in
similar proportion.
And the tax on Hollywood stars is
bound to be much higher as the
war progresses. If the Federal joint
income tax proposal becomes law,
such married stars as Gable and
Lombard, Tyrone Power and Anna
bella, and Taylor and Barbara
Stanwyck will find a much larger
percentage Of their earnings swal-
lowed up.
It's quite q question!

say 'teepening twilight and nobody

It's all right, the audience doesn't
notice it, it doesn't cost anybody
$1,000, and you go right on with the
play"
And that wasn't the worst of it.

eat as well as can. however. And
I think cabbage and parsnips and

There was the old Woolley back
again, the sure-of-himself ex-Yale

But as we left the restaurant he re-
verted to the deepening twilight
speech.

Helen Woodie, fourth grade
students, has been suffering from
mastoid trouble. She is under the
care of DR.. Newton, Wilkes hos
pital.
The fourth grade students are
quite interested in war. They
spend five to ten minutes each
day reporting and discussing
news gathered from radio and
paper. Their interest has deve-
loyed into the spirit of sharing
with those who need help there
fore, they are still buying defense
stamps weekly, and giving liber-
ally to Red Cross.
Very few fourth grade students
have been absent since the holt
days. Some, however, have been
unfortunate enough to catch
colds.
Fifth grade Honor Roll: Lois

Tommy Digs. The first project
for the club is to raise money for
the Red Cross. The club has al
ready collected $4.85 for that pur-
pose.
