This, of course, is the gloomiest prospect of what could happen if the picture in the China theatre continues to worsen. All isn't yet lost by any means, Maj. Gen. Claire I Chennault, whose heroic pre-Pearl Harbor Fighting Tigers and present U. s. 14th Air Force have written one of the most he roic air records of the war, an- nounced recently that the almost completed Japanese corridor to the south will avail them little. And it's no secret that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is making a seri- ous effort now to put China's house in order and repair the damage.

 At the worst, further defeats in China might mean that China would have to be abandoned alto gether as an active military ally and the war against Japan carried to it's successful elimination with no more than few port bases on the east China coast and Formosa.
 Such abandonment, according to persons back from Chungking would almost certainly result in a fresh outbreak of Chinese civil war which has never enjoyed more than an armed truce lulled by common dangers.

I felt cheated, never seeing this

rival against Joe Gotten for Colbert;
I wasn't able to get very excited
about his return, since I hadn't seen
him in the first place, and, as every
one had cried 50 photogenically over
his reported loss, it seemed highly
unsatisfactory to be paid of with a
mere telegram announcing his

gone over the eyelids.

of Edwin Booth-I look forward to
November /, or thereabouts, with
more than moderate degree Of ap-

Dramatically. Henry has received
less attention here and in London
than many another Shakespearean
work. For while this lengthy OPUS
contains some effective scenes, there
are not enough of them to redeem
1t from acute boresomeness. As
perhaps you may not know. it was
found after Shakespeare death in
an incomplete state and John
Fletcher is supposed to have touched
it up quite materially for produc-
tion.
Pundits of the classic drama here
recall only two occasions in COM
paratively modern times when
Broadway suffered the tedium of
Henry VIII"-the first ordeal being
back in 1892 at the Garden Theater
with Nine. Modjeska playing Kath-
crime of Aragon and later in 1917
