The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

(Note:-Secretary of War Pat tersnr's appointment this week of a six-man board to investigate the caste system probably results in part from the vigorous, unre- icnting campaign waged by Drew Pearson to purge special privilege from the Army and Navy. More than any other writer, Pearson has plugged for the rights of the G. I. and against the caste sys- tenn. Today Pearson discusses some new angles of the caste system in the Army. Another column on Navy caste will follow soon.)

pace of their growth, and Of the
play, must be slower than audiences
are accustomed to. The Holmses
determined that pace, and there was
nothing Playwright Lavery could
have done to it and yet retained
fidelity equal to his determination
for his subject.
There has been one major cast
change in "The Magnificent YAM
kee" since its premiere here last
January. Miss Field supplants Dor
othy Gish as dainty, spirited Fannie
Dixwell Holmes. Any one who re-
calls the fervor of Miss Gish's re-
ception in the role knows that is
no task to be undertaken care
lessly. Yet, the happy report on
Miss Fields successorship is that
she handles it brilliantly in every
phase.
"The Magnificent Yankee" covers
81 years in the life Of Justice
Holmes. These are the 81 cl-
mactic years of his life, and the
ones he spent In Washington from
his appointment to the Supreme
Court by Theodore Roosevelt until
his death.
In writing Of these years, Lavery
was confronted by the fact that
they were the quiet, philosophic
period OF the great dissenter's life
They lacked the kind Of action In
which plays usually are built. But
they had another variety, in some
respects richer, nobler and more In
spring. When they came here in
1902, the minds Of the Holmses
were at their most active, their
hearts we're still young, and their
love was growing. Against the
ascent of these qualities In the
plays devoted couple, the descent
of time finds itself over-patched.
Time becomes another villain which
the Justice and Fannie knew beau
tifully how to hold at bay.

The entire play is set In the
Holiness library, q different place
to be sure, but what else Is play
wright to do with such a hero?
It was from this library that the
Justices mind and heart roamed
the cosmos, but, in doing so missed
nothing Of the coming Of the crocus
in spring or the growth Of virtue
IN democracy. The Justice was q
man With a lively. sometimes, way
ward eye and a tongue that relished
the favors Of profanity, That he
also had a profound and liberal
mind, and an open heart are enough
to make him dramatic in his own
very personal terms. Playwright
Lavery has been content with this
truth in ''The Magnificent YAM
