which it was equally helpless to dc
right.
The one of 1867 was reasonably
deep in the latter category. AS the
succession of guild production was
rejected, one by one, by the critics
the reviews began to be downright
querulous. The intimation crept
into the writing of several of the
more petulant commentators that
the guild either had lost it's touch
or was deliberately trying to ex-
pose its patrons to the punishingly
shoody.
That attitude, of course, ignored
the fact that the guild itself had
begun the season unhappily and
had grown steadily more miserable
One day at the height of its misery,
the organization decided it might
be fine time to sock it's hecklers
right on the tips Of the upturned
noses.
Lets see how right the critics
have been from the standpoint of
boxoffice or public approval of pre-
vious guild plays" some one said.
The staff pitched in, scanned the
records, compiled the figures and
found that if the critics had been
selecting guild productions, the or
ganization probably would have
been out of business by then.
Did it go around whispering that
news behind the backs of those who
were goading it? 1t did nothing of
the kind. 1t tabulated the figures
and handed them to the wretches,
saying in effect, Here, stupe, is your
own record If you would like to have
a look at it now that you are speak
ing in box-office terms"

The guild is like that and it wins
your affection for that and for many
other reasons.

ality, a capricious, unpredictable

being with whom life has never
been dull, although some of its
plays have been.
In connection with its 25th ami
versary, the Theater Guild sent out
list of its productions since that
night of April 10, 1919. They have
meant a great deal to the theater
But it is too terse and prosaic a
summing up. 1t is more pleasant to
think of the Theater Guild in Ger
tain other of its attractive aspects.
Our love for it deepened, for in
stance, back in the season of 1878
when it put out a wonderful booklet
laughingly dedicated to the propo-
sition that the critics were hope
lessly capricious lot and that any one
who tried to anticipate them was a
pale white slug who got what was
coming to him. 1t was not the
fashion to fight with the critics that
season, but the guild was never
slave to fashion. When it finished
matching quotes-this critic against
that one-on the various aspects of
its Madame Bovary," it was rather
profoundly implied that nobody
knew anything about anything and
that the guild was at least justified
in having made it's stab at finding
out.
A more piquant piece of literature
of its kind was never published and
while no critic was caught eating his
own words, they agreed to a man
that they had never been served
back so attractively.
The pugnacious artfulness of it
permanently endeared the guild to
many who had been the severest
critics of Madame Bovary."
It's bellicosity, indeed, has been
one of the continuously most en-
gaging qualities of the guild as a.
personality. One of the finest chap
ters in its history will be written
one day of its losing battle to wean
Bernard Shaw from his fascination
with the rhythm and wit of his own
words. There will be numerous
anecdotes to sprinkle through the
account of that combat and the
best of them, no doubt, will be that
in connection with the production
of "St. JOAN"
The length of that play was no
less than desperate but the guilds
executives had to produce it. I'm
mediately thereafter. the despera-
ton was raised to the second power.
The play had to be cut, Shaw or
no Shaw, so the guild cabled fran
tically in the wan hope of approval.
Commuters miss their last trains"
the cable read.
Change the train times" Shaw
cabled back.
But, as one stubborn personality
to another. the guild went on low
ing him.

Home from South Poetic Theatre

A Selfridge Field pilot who
once "gunned" PISS in the fast
and thrilling Mitchell Trophy
Races here, and is now in
charge of Air Force flight oper-
atoms in the Southwest Pacific,
is reputed to have doWneG many
Jap planes in that area without
firing a single shot.
The one-time Selfridge lieu
tenant, Paul b. Wurtsmith, is
now Brig. Gen. Wurtsmith, of
Port Moresby, New Guinea.
His stunt in eliminating Jap
planes without wasting ammu-
milton was quite the thing dur
ing the early days in the Pacific
war, when Jap Zeros daily
bombed and strafed Darwin and
other Australian cities.
Ammunition, like everything
else in those critical times,
could not be wasted, and Wurt-
smith and his fellow pilots-in-
Guiding number of former
Selfridge men-hit on stunt
that proved very successful.
They knew the mileage capacity
of Jap Zeros from examination
of wrecked planes, and had
computed just how far a Zero
could fly before running out of
gas. They also knew the dis
lance between the Zeros'' start
ing point and Darwin, or which
ever city was under attack.
The rest was elementary

persuade several Zeros to follow

gun range, the Lightnings would
streak out into the wide open
spaces of the Pacific. The Amer
leans would keep one eye on
the pursuing Zeros and the
other on their mileage, and
when they saw the Zeros were
at sufficiently remote point
that their gasoline would nei-
Their take them home nor to any
landing point, the Lightnings
would put on real speed and
swing back towards home.
Later, after the boys had re-
Taxed around headquarters, a
few would 60 out on an inspec-
ton trip which usually revealed
floating Jap planes, wreckage
or other evidences of the Zeros
which were trapped into disas-
ter without any waste Of Ameri-
can bullets or risk TO the few
u. S. planes then available.
