How impartial II Ii may be gathered
from the fact that one Of the
greatest industrial users Of sugar in
the country hired that noted econo-
mist. James A. Farley. former

to plead It's case. OF course. Mr..
Farley Is not the only politico en-

ont OF the OPA for q soft-drink
manufacturer. There are dozens
Of them.
Nor is the manufacturer too mucl,
to blame for thinking that 4

sent his case. What else Is he to
conclude when the organization to
which he had to apply was headed
by political pen-pusher who used
to write blurbs for the Democratic
National Committee and whose
immediate predecessor was running
with all OF his might for the job
of Governor Of Connecticut?
And who knows but that, in such
circumstances, an industrial user
of sugar might be persuaded to fork
over a bit Of sugar for the Demo-
cratic National Committee? Stranger
things have happened.
Certainly the American house,
wife is not going to contribute any
sugar Of that sort. The chances
are she hasn't got any. What the
smart politicos who ran the OPA
forgot was that, while she might
not have any sugar, she had .

All Of the sugar that the Ameri-

governmental decree into the hands
of industrial and commercial users.
Under the rationing rules and
regulations, any established user OF
sugar gets at least half OF the
sugar that he got before the war,

which he can get his allotment in

of his denials and his silly charge
that he was framed" by the United

disgust.
Little can be done about either Of

can be done, however, is to lose no

man as star, were a better play than
it sounded from Row c, it could not
have surmounted its handicapS.
Played on bare stage large enough
for touch football game, the drama
simply was lost. If and when it is
ever found must remain always OF
small consequence to the first audi
ence, which can hardly have taken
away more than few vivid 8frag-
iments of it's expectations. For these,
the audience is indebted to Miss
Bergman although her own voice at
times was as indiStinct as the
ethereal voices which guided her as
Joan of Lorraine.
Anderson has discarded contem-
:porary convention in his latest am
bilious composition. He has reverted
to the play within play, but on the
basis of the first performance, he
has halved the illusion instead OF
doubling it. Joan of Lorraine" will
have hard time escaping the judg-
,ment that it is more theatrical than
dramatic, rough as that Judgment
may be upon a dramatist as respect
able as Anderson. Another charge
lit will have to answer is that while
its performers seem to be having
quite a time for themselves, the
audience is largely excluded. The
effect Anderson obviously sought was
the chubby one of making people feel
they were being let in on how the
theater works. The one achieved is
snobbishness, however unwilling on
every ones part. ga
X II xs*
Anderson's selection of the Maid
of Orleans as his heroine is patiently
sound. He wants to speak of faith
as an imperative for humans who
must have something to live by and
die for But, even though he has
resisted his old temptation to verse,
he has ornamented his subject to
the point of confusing it, Every one
in his play becomes two, as, for ex-
ample, Miss Bergman. In addition
to playing Joan, she plays an actress
playing JOAN That is no new de-
vice, although lately unused. 1t can
be a highly useful one for relating
the lesson of Joans life to the per-
plexities of 1916. 1t can be, but that
is not the way it worked out for all
the lively, brusque confidence of the
cast assembled by the playwright's
company.
The story of Joan of Lorraine"
as put together before the eyes OF
Evening star., 1946-10-30

is the purpose, but not always the
result.
As the inspiration of bewildered
humanity, Anderson offers a SIM
pie Joan. Miss Bergman brings
her into being as a much more hu-
man maid than any one is likely
to have met before. The voices she
hears and is guided by are divine,
but Joan is not. She is of the earth,
q peasant girl who prefers the sim
pie pleasures and the normal pains
Of farm life. The thought of babies
makes her happy, and of the spin
ming wheel and lambs born in the
night. She wants no high destiny
and demurs at a faith more exact
ing than that of her humble parents.
But she accepts both and responds
to them with an ever mounting
sense of pain, and tragic awareness
Iof her cruel fate.
Considering the manifold inter-
ruptions in its continuity, Miss
Bergman evokes a subtly varied,
highly colored portrait of Joan. 1t
is a thing of humor in its first solid
