He is frank enough to admit that
he missed the crowd of feminine
youngsters who dog his steps in
Hollywood.
There was girl in Mexico. "I al
most fell in love with her." says Van.

to be deserving of a lasting place on
the library shelf, not as piece of
great dramatic literature, but as an
amusing account of this sprawling
democracys transition from its
f1abby civilian Incidence and rugged
lnd1vidualism into the tight mold
OF military discipline. There was
much more to the transition, of
course, than met the pen or the eye
of Miss Gordon as playwright, but
her version constitutes one of the
more engaging variants of the total
story.
over Twenty-One," as every one
must have heard long before this, is
a comedy which Miss Gordon wrote
for herself while she was spending
a summer season in Washington as
merely Mrs. Carson Kanin. Its Gen.
tral figures are 39-year- -old hus-
band in officer candidate school,
an intellectual liberal suddenly at
grips with the stern facts of mill
tary life, and his famous novelist
wife, who gives up her own work to
keep his morale above zero.
The emphasis quite properly is
upon the wife, that devoted Ameri-
can woman who in the early days of
the war sacrificed everything, in
Guiding the admiration of profess
sional military men, to her belief
that she could help her husband
become a soldier. No one wanted
her around, not even the befuddled
husband, but she came as near to
camp as she could get, lived there
in squalor and chaos and privation,
and refused to be driven away even
if it cost us the war
She was quite a nuisance. history
