From all the far-flung fields Of

ring story than the heroic epic Of
Libya. Appropriately enough goth
Century Fox's picture story Of John
Brophy's II m m ortal Sergeant"
which has LibYa as Its locale, and
which opened today on the screen
Of the Loew Poll theater, is one Of
the finest Aims turned out on the
war.
Starring Henry Fonda and Maui
reen O'Hara, Immortal Sergeant"
Is that rare cirnenatic gem-a pic
ture whose authenticity and execu-
ton matches its magnitude of
theme. The timeliness Of the film
focused on the crucial battle fields
Of North Africa-couples with its
romantic appeal, puts 1t on a high
plane. .....
Immortal Sergeant" Is the in
spring story Of an indomitable
band Of fighters who conquer the
enemy and the elements. Their
leader Is the sergeant Of the title,
but 1t is the inner battle Of the
corporal which gives the Aim Its key.
Portrayed. by Fonda, the corporal
finds" himself amid the inferno of
battle on the Libyan sands and
emerges as an inspired leader when
the death of the sergeant forces
him to assume leadership Of the
patrol.
This Is not meant to convey, how
ever, that the Aim deals exclusively
with the battle front For In every
story Of q soldier there must be
some indication of what he's think
ing about-in Immortal Sergeant"
Fonda's thoughts quite naturally
turn to home and his sweetheart,
Maureen OHara. BY an ingenious
use Of the flash back" device, the
film gives definiteness and body
to those thoughts-and show con-
clusively why this fighter for free
dom can never give up the battle.

AS Of this date there have been
SO attractions offered since June /,
1912 and, with most Of February
and all Of March, April and May to
60 It would seem reasonable to ex-
pect that at least 20 more shows
will be offered. February alone
probably will bring 10.
OF these So, IA have been nusi-
Gals comedies, revues, integrated
vaudeville; 80 have been plays and
IL have been REVEALS of musicals
and plays. Twenty Of the So still
are on the boards at this writing, an
indicated mortality rate that is
about average. In addition, there
are eight holdovers from past sea-
sons still doing business.
The money being spent on Broad
way attractions this season has
been above the recent average and,
thanks to defense work wages, peo-
pie who haven't been to the leglti-
mate theater in years . or maybe
never, are helping boost the total.
There is a general feeling among
show people that there ought to be
more attractions, that the money
Is available to spend on them, but
there Is no indication that there
will be a sudden rise in the produce
ton rate. In pre-depression years
productions ran consistently over
100 season, but the 19S0s saw
steady drop until rs became an
average mark.
There Is no dearth Of money tc
finance productions, especially since
Hollywood now is more inclined
than ever before openly to bank
roll stage attractions, but there haS
been no improvement in the mum.

BENJAMIN r. Marsh
Espc"iire Secretary OF The
"eople's Lobby

MIR MARSH OPENS: The Depart
ment of Agriculture reported on
10000 under-equipped farms: "On
such flrms there are wasted every
day man-hours of labor which in
terms of farm production equal the
manpower needed to produce 200
million pounds of pork. or IS million
gallons of milk, or 2 million dozen
eggs" lie Director of Farm Produc-
lion puts manpower as the big prob
lem in increased farm production,
but equipment and credit are vital.
In 1910 nearly two fifths of all farms
we're under fifty acres. Last year a
fifth of all farms produced only about
three per cent of farm production
that entered commerce, though some
$4,000 families averaged an income
of Sl9,83l; 100000 more $6,3l0; an
other 100000 got $4,000. There are
nearly six million farm families!
Raising prices for farm products
will help large well-equipped farms
to make more money. Some could re-
duce prices and still make money.
Substituting small, under-equipped
farms to enable operators to hire
needed help and get equipment. will
increase production, permit prices to
consumers to stay fast, or be reduced.
If margins of professors and distribu-
tors are fixed. Many small farms
should be consolidated to save ma
rhinery. gas, rubber, seed and man
power.
MIR. EASTMAN CHALLENGES:
Mr. Marsh's figures proUe great
part of our food comes from medium
family-sized farms. Farm economists

lies to the small, inefficient farmer,
would enable him to buy equipment,
3r hire help in time to increase pro-
duction to win the war. Even If he
could it would take equipment and
help from more efficient operators.
MIR. MARSH REPLIES: Higher
prices, which Mr.. Eastman urges, will
produce imitation which will benefit
i big-Ianded farmers but be a scourge
Tor nine-tenths of Americans in
sluding returned soldiers. During the
year ending March |. 1912, the SELL
ing price of farm lands increased
nearly two billion dollars and Mr..
Eastman's plan, might be worth ten
billions more, as in World War |, to
,hese agricultural "Astors' in
both branches of Congress. Increased
prices for farm products increase
selling prices of farm lands Govern
nent must also control processing
md distribution of farm products, tix-'
ng profit margins low, as in Britain.
