tionship with the committee has
been often less than tactful. Just one
example is the difference between
the wording Of the British and
American notes recognizing the
Committee. Both meant the same
things but the French feel,
rightly or wrongly, that we went out
If our way to say it grudgingly.
Officially, America has said that
we would leave the internal admin
istration of France to the French.
But the French feel that we have
gone against our word at the highest
level, by boosting Giraud vis-a-vis
de Gaulle.
Many of our misunderstanding
with the French spring from the
circumstances of our early dealings
Immediately after the landings. The
agreement which Admiral Darlan
signed with the Allies was an arm
istice-implying defeat-inStead of q
mutual aid pact.

Bringing the impressive voiced
looking Robson and the famous
Moor together seems natural
thing to do and 1t was done decade
ago in London. However, only now
has the combination come to
Broadway, after failure Of plans to
get 1t on year ago.
The Negro Robson, aside from
his fine talents as an actor, seems
more natural in the role than any
blacked-up white actor you can
imagine. He acts the part with
simple dignity, speaks with the ex-
pected beauty and further secures
his place as the foremost actor of
his race.
But before paying respects to in
dividuals 1t had better be set down
that much of the success of the
play can be laid to the director,
Margaret Webster, who has made a
speciality Of giving Broadway fine
Shakespearian productions for the
last six or seven years, previously
in conjunction with Maurice Evans.
She has a knack Of eliminating the
wordy, unnecessary parts Of the
playS-without disemboweling them
however-and molding them into
such cohesion that they are a
pleasure rather than chore to see.
She also has had fine success in get
ting players to handle the lines In
q manner that makes the blank
verse sound like sensible speech
rather than q series Of quotations
from Bartlett's.
Miss Webster herself Is in the
cast, doing excellently with the role
of Emilia in one Of her rare ap-
pearances as an actress, a talent
naturally come by, being the daugh-
and Ben Webster.
What about Iago? Well, Shake
speares most deeply-dyed villain is
in capable hands. in those Of Char
ley's Aunt, no less; in short, the
Iago is Jose Ferrer. It may come
as something of shock to those
who saw the ex-Princetonian gam

Aunt" couple Of seasons back to

a Shakespeare heavy, but that Is
exactly what he proves to be, in this
one role at least. He is willy,
scheming and on-servile Iago, a
self-made man-to-be who knows
what he wants and how to get it.
You can see the poison brewing in
his mind and the JUNCTION with
which he plants the seeds Of sus-
picion in the trusting Othello is
acting of the highest order.
Playing Desdemona is the lovely
Uta Hagen (Mrs. Ferrer), who
brings to the role all Of the sweet
ness and light anyone could desire,
plus a voice that clothes the words
with all the beauty they require yet
keeps them at an earth-bound level

Condemnation proceedings in
volving the Meriden road land owned

The museum, daily visited by
nearly twice as many American SOL
diers as British, wants to add the
American Chief Of Staff to Its no.

ment clampdown on clothing cou-
ponS issued to theatrical enterpris-
es has left 1t baffled as to how to
dress the general. The manage
ment Is considering an appeal to
the American Embassy for help.
Tussaud's. as much British in
stitution as the climate, used its
last bit Of clothing on its popular

lowing personal visits to Eisen-
hover and Stark. The manage

tographs Of Macarthur, but his
boots are modelled on his own last

Marshall figure means 1t considers
him a genuine historic figure and

A SO per cent reduction in staff has
resulted in appreciation among
the directors in selecting PERSONAL

War Labor Board
Drops Strike Data

Washington, y. &. ULNS).-Statis-
tics on strike in war Industries will no
longer be issued by the National War
Labor Board.
The board announced this was be-
cause the war effort now affects
nearly every industry and the ratio Of
man days lost through strikes to the
total time worked in industry is vir-
tually the same in war industries as
in nOn-war industries
Figures on strikes will hereafter be
issued by the L. S. Labor Depart
ment Bureau of Labor Statistics, but
they will not dfferentiate between war
and other Industries, the WLB said.
An interdepartmental committee on
strike statistics, composed of members
from the War, Navy and Labor De
partments, WLB, War Production
Board and Maritime Commission, will
no longer function. The announcement
said the action was taken on the rec
ommendation of the committee itself.
Throughout 1912 the group collected
statistics on strikes in war industry
and they were issued monthly by the
WLB. The latest figure, for Decem-
ber, showed the man days lost to be
only .O3 of l per cent of the total time
worked.
