seems to me to be no more likely
to appeal. There is patiently
Fictitious quality In using Miss
Stowe as dramatic material. The
authors brazenly resort to the mean
est devices Of the movies and the
radio, and while I reluctantly con-
sent to my boys attendance at the
movies occasionally. I cannot help
shuddering ut some of the things
the movies do.
As = play, Harriet" is structur-
ally deficient, and II the Beecher
family is entertaining to people, the
authors Of this play have not made
them 50.
There was a recurrent feeling
and this appeared evident in many
places in the audience-that the
whole project was a thing of bore
dom.
The play opens in Cincinnati,
Ohio, in the 1905 and 1905 when
Harriet Beecher Stowe was young
woman and rather subordinated to
her writing relatives. The story
goes on through the Stowe removal
to Maine decade or so later and
on through her life In Andover,
Mass, and the outbreak of the Civil
War and even beyond Gettysburg.
Furniture Is Nice.
There are touching scenes and an
accumulation Of boards and increas-
ingly beautiful furniture. But the
play itself lags.
It is likely to run, just as q piece
Of fiction IN a slick paper magazine
Is likely to have millions of readers.
But as q good piece Of theater my
thumbs are down.
Here are some excerpts from the
criticisms Of fellow reviewers:
Lewis Nichols, New York Times:
1T Is good to have Miss Hayes back,
In q play that by itself might not
rank as masterpiece, but which
allows her to give portrait that is. -
Howard Barnes, Herald Tribune:
"Her control of a rambling and
rather windy drama Is always Sc
renely assured. Her craft is not
matched by a great deal of the ma
terial = but the sheer beauty,
gayety, and intensity of her acting
makes 1t singularly absorbing en-
tertainment."
Wilella Waldorf, New York Post:
How engrossing Harriet would be
without Miss Hayes on hand to illu-
mine every scene with grace and
laughter and that inner warmth
that floods out Of her when she has
a role after her own heart, It Is
hard to say. Fortunately, 1t Is not
necessary to 60 into that now, for
Miss Hayes Is not only In it, but
right there on the stage most Of the
evening. It Is quite impossible to
imagine Harriet without her, and

wLB Opinion Says
No AIibi Strong
Enough for Strike

WASHINGTON. Jan. l3. tUP)-
A formal War Labor Board opinion
written by Public Member Wayne
L. Morse said today that seryicemen
who are fighting and dying that
labor in America may remain free
will not accept aiibis for wartime
work Stoppages.
No combinations of words no
rationaliZed alibis, no pleas of pro-
vocation and eXtenuating circum-
stances can be, will be. or should
be accepted by our fighting forces
as justifying work stoppages result
ing from disputes between employ
ers and employees. or between fac
tions within their ranks Morse
wrote.
He paid tribute to the great pro-
duction record" achieved thus far,
but said labor should halt strikes
and management must refrain from
provoking them.
His views we're written in an
opinion involving Miles Laboratories
Inc. of Elkhart, Ind, and a local
/ chapter of district so, United Mine
Workers. The board ruled that ma
chinery provided in an existing con-
tract be used in settling a dispute
over discharge of a plant employe.

/ ed on grounds of intoXication but
the local contended he was i'll. The
workers returned to their jobs two
days after the case was certified by
