NEW YORK The glittering
Broadway season of 1945-46 has
blown a fuse.
Shows have Topped with a
consistency that has made this
season famous. Theater- goers
were at first disappointed, then
bored. Now they are simply
appalled,. It's now q contest to
see which producer can put to-
gether the most money, talent,
and ideas to make the worst
show.
When this reporter predicted
a Boom Over Broadway" a few
months ago the season was as
promising as the brilliant talent
selected and the hundreds of
thousands of dollars that backed
their gifts. There were actors,
Spencer Tracy, Avon Long, Ed
mund Gwenn, Dame May Whit
ty, Katherine Durham, Milton
Berle. There were writer's, Ten
nessee William and Robert Sher-
wood, directors Margaret Web
ster, George Kaufman and Eddie
Dowling-but all this was not
enough.
ONLY FOUR HITS
OF the 80 odd plays and musl-
calls produced this season only
four can be called hits. They are
Deep Are the Roots" State of
the Union" THE Red MILL" a
revival, and "Are You With IT,"
Six are hanging on by their
teeth. Eighteen other shows are
held over from last season.
The one bright spot in all this
Broadway misery, however, has
been the critics. They have
outdone themselves. Their copy
has trumpeted caustic phrases
and limburger cheese. They
have searched their vocabular-
les for new words of anathema
to describe each dull thud on
Broadway. Some have resorted
to verse. They have held their
noses in print. The critics have
put on a good show.
The season got off to a lavish
fizzle with "Mr. Strauss Goes to
Boston" It was q fortune in
bustles, glamour boys, sets, So
pranos and golden bantam corn.
He shoulda stood in Vienna"
said Louis Kronenberger, thea
ter critic for PM.
THE best thing about Mr..
Strauss Goes to Boston is that
the agony Is over before IL
o'clock" wrote Burton Rasoce
of the World-Telegram. Mr.
Strauss ran until IL o'clock
twelve nights.
Something called Devils Ca
lore" opened and plopped like q
stuck balloon a. Lewis Nichols

Rita bodies no good for men in

LIFTS NOT 60 TOO FAST

The United Stotes government, as betIts gov
eminent Of the people. is listening to its citizens
these doys and needing their demands. 1t is denob-
jlxino the men and women Of its armed toroes as
fost as is physically possible and it promises relief
from heavy wartime toxes in the coming year.
All this is natural and necessary and good up to
. certain point. But perhaps the people themselves
should stop to inquire whether their obedent serv-
ants in Washington may not be returning them to
peocetine mode Of living with speed which might
work to the countrys eventual detrinent.
Everyone is admittedly sick to death Of wor
with it's grief and anxiety its restrictions and short
ooes and high taxes. The men still in service ore
honnesick and FESTIVE, now thot the ti9htin9s over
So it is not to be wondered that there is q cIomor
for returning every to the bosom OF his
family with all possible speed. II is not to be WON
dered that the c. |. O. is asking Congress tor $oo
billion cut in individual toxes. or thot the National
Association of Manufacturers wants an overall tax
reduction Of So billion.
But the American people cannot shut their eyes
to the foct thot though the war is won. the goals
for which it was fought have not been achieved
Germany and Japan may be defeated and many
Of their conquerors may be exhausted but peace is
by no means secure.
None Of the victorious powers has more con-
sistently claimed it's devotion to the ideos Of peoce
freedm prosperity and sef-determinotion than the
United Stotes. Yet the world and we ourselves may
wonder how sincere that devotion is il we strip our
selves Of military strength we seem bent on do
ing, and rely only words to gain the ends toward
which the world has advanced through such fright
fuI bIoodshed
A standing army capable Of defending US against
any power group Of powers would, Of course, lead
to national bankruptcy. An army woefuy inode-
quote as thot of 1910 would cause US to lose diplo
motto prestige by procoinine that we we're not
ready to fight if need be- in defense Of the Ideals
which we have so vigorously espoused.
Between these two extremes stands the proposal
for universal military troinne which General Mar
shoII has put forward The arguments in its favor
seem unonswerobe il realistic view Of world con-
ditons is token For the sake Of world peooe national
security, strength Of diplomatic decisions and the
lives Of the men who might have to fight another
war; such force Of modern minute men seems the
only logical solution.
The United Stotes cannot pull out Of world Of
fors. II cannot abandon the humane commitments
for which it hos fought And it cannot sofey think
of totoI rehabilitation and disarmament until thot
utopion day when harmony and understanding shall
prevail throughout the eorth
