chucked against Tex Hughson in
the game and won his ninth game

Tony Lupien's homer which scored
Lamar Newsome ahead of him in
the first inning.
The Cleveland Indians moved into
the Junior Loops fast changing
second place today as they stretch
ed their winning streak to six by
dropping the Philadelphia ath-
letics, Ga. Mel Harder, assisted

victory-a 40 shutout over the Mis-
sourians. The American leagues
leading hurler put six men down
via the strikeout route and walked
only one to hand Johnny Neggeling
his sixth straight defeat. Rookie
catcher Ken Sears aided the league
leaders with homer in the fourth
frame.

up the tempo of it's wartime racing
at the new 100000 hipodromo-

handle of $185,0OO.
The hipodromo,s inaugural sea-

Pagliaia,- dapper, dark haired
little Italian, said: Mexico City
has become the worlds new Paris,
because of the war. Refugees from
many European countries have
brought in their wealth-and a de-
sire for entertainment. The city is
enjoying an unprecedented influx
of United States tourists, who
formerly went TO Europe or to
Florida but who have suddenly dis
covered to be an ideal vacation land
because of its scenery and oppor-
tunities to relax in the Latin
American way Moreover, the sales
Of oil, hemp and other commodi-
ties are booming
FOREIGNERS CONFIDENT
A major factor in Mexico City'S
prosperity, Pagliaia emphasized, is
the general confidence of foreign
ers in President Manuel Avila Ca
macho's government. Since CANA
cho became president in 1910, tour
lists and outside business men no
longer fear revolution in Mexico
THE new generation of MeXi-
canS-a surprisingly educated gen
eration-opens its arms to tourists, 3"
he continued, "and is particularly
cordial to visitors from the United
States. Mexico City appreciates its
chance of becoming a great and
permanent tourist center. When
the war is over, at least 10 years
will elapse-during the rehabilita-
ton of Europe - before American
tourists will begin crossing the At
lantic as usual. BY that time, we
hope that the western tourist trade
will be SO fond of Mexico that it
vii have no need for Europe"
Accordingly, the Mexico City race
track-backed by a syndicate of
wealthy United States and Mexi-
can financiers-is planning for the
present and the future. Pagliaia Is
visiting United States racing cen
ters to invite important owners to
send down their horses for the next

HITS STRIDE

Strangely enough. Nieman. a
former all-big six halfback at Kan
sas State, appeared to have little,
if any, big league possibilities last
year when he played in the Eastern
league. In 10 games with Elmira
and 1O7 with Scranton. the Husky
outfielder compiled batting aver
age of only 207, for below the mark
necessary for trial in the big
time in ordinary years. But under
the tutelage of Stengel. Nieman is
beginning to blossom and he cele-
brated his recent promotion to the
cleanup position in the batting
order by blasting out six blows in
the last two days. The hits boost
ed his average to respectable .274,
an increase of 1 point in the last
two days.
Claude PasSeau was the victim of
Nieman'S bat as he went down to
his eighth defeat. Danny McFay-
den relieved Sarter Nate Andrews
in the seventh inning and was cred
tied with the victory.

moulian, who directed oklahoma;
Agnes De Mile, who created the
dances-one of them the most effec-
tive ballets in operetta history-and
Oscar Hammerstein, who wrote the
piquant tunes which make New York
finally aware of Oklahoma.
In the work of these people and
cast which has no big names but
mighty bounce, you see "Oklahoma"
as work of love, an infectious affec-
tion which ensnares you from Curly's
first song, "Oh, What a Beautiful
Morning" and holds you probably
as long as your memory lasts.
The thing that inspires this feel
ing for the guilds sprightly venture
is that it has quality that is rarely
encountered in pieces of it's genre.
Nearest phrase to describe it seems
to be one that combines the mutually
exclusive words, sophisticated and
folklore, or perhaps New York and
Oklahoma. 1t is strange mating,
but Oklahoma is a gusty State and
New York, as you know, is such a
jade.
The freshness of oklahoma" is
suggested most forcefully in the cast.
Never in all your life did you expect
to see, say, a musical comedy tenor
named Arthur Drake on guild pay
roll. There he is. however, in
yellow shirt, comboy pants and boots
and singing Hammerstein's music
with the fullest intimation that it
was wonderful to be alive and in
Oklahoma just before it became a
State. Then there is a little girl,
blond and ever so young and viva
cious, and nicely gifted with a So
prano voice That's oJan Roberts,
who probably is as surprised as you
are to find herself getting checks
signed by the executives who have
paid Alfred Lunt, Miss Fontanne and
ever so many famous others. They
are the melody lovers of
"Oklahoma," but some of the others
are even more surprising.
Celeste Holm, for instance. Miss
Holm, stately blond of captivating
shape and dimensions, is some one
you remember as the girl in the
bubble bath scene in the road pro-
duction of THE Women" a few
years ago. In "Oklahoma" she
emerges as gusty, prairie COM
edienne, a girl who is properly IA
nous for her inability to say no.

for the guild and 1t, In its turn, is
wonderful to them in oklahoma"


Another facet OF oklahoma" that
is one of its brightest entertainments
is its dancing. Even the tired busi-
nessman cannot fail to appreciate
that the dancing of the operetta
has a significance well beyond his
highest expectations of the dance.
This is most evident in a dream
ballet created by Miss de Mile, a
ballet that has everything of Okla
homa's history so tersely, comically
and dramatically recorded that it is
Understandable down to the last
syllable. Mr.. Riggs, author of the
play is reported to have said of the
ballet that it is perfectly the drama
he was trying to write when he did
Green Grow the Lilacs." It is one
OF the finest things ever said of any
ballet, and Miss de Miles Is
eminently worthy CT the observation.
1t Is what choreographers have been
trying to do for couple of decades
of musical comedy, decades marked
more by earnestness and energy
than by success.
In addition to heightening the
drama and comedy OF Oklahoma, :"
the dancing adds to its beauty, the
most stunning level of beauty
operetta has had in years and a
great tribute to the guilds artistic
touch.
Even critic would feel safe In
guaranteeing oklahoma" on a
money-back basis, which shows just
what it did to him.

But it still is sort of funny 70 find
the Guild in the operetta business,
and being in it nothing short OF bril-
liantly. The oddity and whimsy of
it vastly enhance the charm of the
production at the St. James which
must be the happiest theater in the

has not been so delighted in years as
by this sparkling, vibrant musical
adaptation of Lynn Riggs folk
drama which the Guild produced in
the original form as Green Grow
the Lilacs."
"Oklahoma" is one of those perfect
collaborations which the theater
achieves all too rarely. 1t is pos
sessed of all the elements that make
for excellence, genuine book, or
story, captivating music, spirited
comedy, inspired dancing, high color
and a cast which creates the i'm
