benevolent TO 1t than TO many an
other of his works upon which man
looked hopefully at that time. Yet,
for all its defects, Meet the Wife"
may plop into niche in the
Nationals history as the play which
marked the long deferred debut of
the theater's cooling system. 1t
is not finished, the air-cooling, but
its fractional efficiency is some
thing to make a man sit back and
feel better about the gadget age.
Meet the Wife" obviously chosen
as a vehicle for Miss Boland's ro-
bust comedy style, is not precisely
a morbid choice for that purpose
Her support in her. impersonation
of the domineering Mrs. Lennox,
however, is hardly of quality to
bring out the best, either. the star
or the play has to offer. In a typi-
cal summer theater, for which the
production seems to have been de-
signed, it might inspire a more
tolerant reception. The National,
of course, is not a relaxed, rural
retreat for the drama, but rather
q sort of cathedral in which the
play comes as a surprise.
In production quality, in subordi-
nate casting, and in the exaggera-
tions of it's direction, it has the
appearance of something completely
alien to E street standards.
Lynn Startling, who wrote Meet
the Wife" perhaps with Miss Boland
in mind back in 1923, Is said to
have modernized it for the current
revival. The modernizing process
is apparent in the adoption of such
current synonyms as Jerk" for
whatever the 1923 word was, but it
stopped short in several other not
able respects. One of these is a
situation in which charm school
girl suffers disgrace rather than
compromise a young newspaperman
with whom she was trapped over
night in disabled automobile. The
point is slurred, but it still gives
meet the Wife" a totally unde-
sirable comedy effect of a type
rather too common in the move
ment of the play.
The broad outline, Meet the
Wife" meets many of the Specifica-
tions of summer theater diet. Its
heroine Is the small town, celebrity
chasing, culture-baiting clubwoman
who has been virtually immortalized
in Helen Hokinson's drawings. She
was born farcical and no one has a
sharper sense of this than Miss
Boland, an actress with a we'll
earned reputation for demolishing
the type. The star Is seriously

handicapped in her caricature of
the semihysterical Mrs. LennoX by
the unwilling competition of char
acters who are supposed to be more
mildly, or less conspicuously, funny.
In writing Meet the Wife," MIR.
Startling allowed his fancy to roam
as far as the laws of farce permit.
That, of course, is dizzily far. He
created situation in which a
breathlessly awaited, celebrated au-
thor turns out to be the supposedly
dead husband of his intended host
ess. Instead of dying in a burning
building, as an honorable man
should, this one just walked out on
the other side and went away to
crafty an ambition to be a writer
He had no notion that a woman
named Mrs. LennoX entertaining
him these IA years later was going
to turn out to be the one he had so
smartly sacked the day of the fire.
There always has been humor in
situation like that and Miss Boland
has the fair and the energy to de-
velop it when she is in primary con-
troll of what is going on. AS the
plot develops, she is permitted en-
tirely too many absences from the
stage to give Meet the Wife" any
hope of sustaining itself until she
can get back.
Director Stapleton Kent's chief
instruction to the cast of the Ma
tionals farce patiently is to play it to
the hilt, or beyond. Bereft of
single line of dialogue that has not
been a staple of two dozen such
comedies, the players give every
word what is intended to be the ride
of its life, every gesture flourish
that Cyrano might envy.
The single exception to this rule
is Patricia Fargo as the harassed
daughter of the demon Mrs. Len
nox. AS if to point the contrast
between herself and the others, Miss
Fargo achieves rigidity that ex-
tends to her eyes. That, however,
is somehow preferable to sweeping
motions of Keith Barton as the
dainty, arty suitor of the girl or
even the lesser ones of Gene Blakely
as the reporter who finally wins her.
The set of Meet the Wife is an
improvisation for which no one is
given credit. Quite properly.

Mentioning Gov. Earl Warren OF

Senator Bridges took issue with an
assertion by Secretary of Commerce
Wallace that "a reactionary will be
nominated by the Republican party
for President-and will be defeated
by the people-in 1948."
"Mr. Wallace seems very cocksure
about the direction in which the Re-
publican party is headed, in fact
much more certain than he appears
to be about thesfuture of the Demo-
cratic party" the New England Sen
ator told a reporter.
For my own part, I don't believe
the Republican party will go to
either the extreme right or the ex-
IRENE left. There are plenty OF
men in Republican ranks who com
bine vision with soundness and who
are entirely in tune with the coun-
try's progress and world problems.
But the Democrats seem bank
rupt for leadership. In fact, they
didn't even have a man in California

nomination for Governor" Mr.
Warren won both the Republican

Mr.. Wallace's comment on the
Republicans was made in a signed
article in the Democrat, organ OF

which he reiterated opposition to a

Democrats to be the progressive
party.

 It that, and the opportunity to friend ships, that induced me to stop for couple of days to observe and listen The view of Washington and the world as seen through the eyes of people out this way is none too cheerful Yet they enjoying such prosperity as unimaginable a few years back when this country dried out and mpover- ished by a soaring drought.
 Their outlook is clouded perhaps by their own immediate troubles But these to the pass ing traveller much less onerous than in other areas They are magnlfled, as elsewhere, by war WearneSS and postwar tensions Most of the troubles they back to the confused of government at Wash ington, to continued regulations that however sary, to be most haphazardly administered in some instances These affect their agriculture and cattle raising.
 As elsewhere there is observed an intensified re- eminent to outside interference now that they are prosperous more and renewed resistance to the social trends of government in recent years The present mood is something that often goes with sud- den prosperity after long hardship It is human and understandable It is disease that grips all Amer ica, with SefShness at the core and undoubtedly it will pass-f it doesn't go away too late, that we may lose our way meanwhile.
 To the traveller from the congested East where people live close together, where there more sources of discord where pettness is more tempting, it seems bit out of character here. The horizons are wide here There is fresh air to breathe room to move around, friendliness of small towns and farms
