Coward wrote these plays in 1899
and was trying them out in the pro-
vinces preparatory to London when
the war began. He shelved them,
sought work with the government,
for which he did several chores
abroad and became intrigued in his
spare moments with a novel idea
which resulted in the highly sue
cessful "Blithe Spirit" which closed
here few weeks ago after running
well over year. Early this year he
recast the two plays and began an
other tryout period, only to suffer
near-fatal attack of pneumonia.
Recovered, he and the plays finally
made the grade in London.

dominant Coward mood of sophis-

tween the two world wars. There
is little chance that New York will
see them until after the war is over
because the author wishes to appear
in them here.

Before going to the Kremlin Mr..
Davies went on a sight seeing tour
of the Soviet capital, which he has
not seen since he left his post as

I can assure you that in respect to
preparation of human reserves and
mechanical might, we at present
are reaching high standards of our
possibilities"
The final defeat of the aggressor
IS "as evident as the fact that after

Wide Coverage on War News.
The Soviet press which has not
been generous with columns to rep

In addition to the stories on Mr.
