Two New Plays Brighten the Broadway Scene
Kann Born Yesterday Is One of Seasons Best;
Walter Huston Returns in an Amiable Comedy
Bv Jack O'Brian.
NEW WORK.

Carson Kanin has gathered him.
self a reputation as an excellent
theatrical laborer, but until this
week it was as an actor and director
that his talents stuck out above the
crowd. When his first play, Born
Yesterday" opened at the Lyceum
Theater last Monday, the newest
facet of his capabilities Immediately
drew the appreciation of audiences
and critics alike.
Kanin has written a very unusual
play in many respects. He has fash
ioned rough, tough comedy about
an industrial gangster. The basis
for this unusual brawling romp is
a highly idealistic attack on home
front Fascism. The author might
have shouted louder II he had stuck
to sheer soap box, deadly-in-earnest
melodramatics but I'm certain not
so many would have listened.
Born Yesterday" concerns near
illiterate who has turned hard work
Of all sorts, including such labors
as murder and bribery, into fan
tastic fortune. He started as q 12-
year-old boy picking up junk and
selling it to neighborhood dealer.
Even then he removed competition
by beating up the youngsters who
tried to make few pennies in the
same fashion. AS he grew older, he
became even more ambitious and
began gobbling up junkyards first in
New Jersey then all over the coun-
try until, as the play opens, he
owns hundreds of huge junkpiles
and has a fortune somewhere be-
tween 10000, 900 and $50, 900.
Having made all this money, the
junk tycoon now wants more power
as well as junk and schemes to buy
the abandoned scrap on the worlds
battlef1elds. To do this, he bribes
Senator and attempts to sneak
through legislation which would per-
NIT him to collect his scrap with a
minimum of red tape, international
complications and cost. And he
doesn't care how illegal or unethical
his methods are.
The Obvious Outcome.
Having bought the Senator, and
being set up in a $235-a-day Wash
ington hotel room, he thinks it is
about time his mistress, a former
chorus girl, should get little polish
and schooling. He hires a young
liberal newspaperman who, instead
Of teaching her the simple finishing
school stuff, implants a new social
consciousness into the former scat
terbrain The result Is that she
starts resenting her keepers meth
DDS and finally helps to defeat his
big scheme.
The obvious outcome, of course, is
that the girl and the writer fall in
love, an eventuality which no one in
the opening nights audience doubt
ed. And the ultimate defeat of the
junkman's Fascist scheme also was
perfectly clear. But the expert two
listed comedy treatment braided
into this basic obviousness turns
Born Yesterday" into one of the
best dramas of the season.
The acting, too, rates major men
ton. Judy Holiday, former night
club entertainer, has made her role
so rich and broad in its various
moods and turns that she certainly
must be placed right up near the top
of any ones list of fine stage come
diennes. The big surprise of the
acting department, however, is the
superb performance of Paul Douglas

Tinted Glasses May Havnl Eyes
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Wearing sunglasses can be over done Shielding eyes from sun glare is one thing and a proper function that these tinted lenses serve.
 If you are acutely sensitive to outdoor light, there may be real need to wear sunglasses on the street. In that event, it's all right to hide behind your lenses when you're riding on bus, particu- larly if you want your fellow pas senger to think you're wide awake to his remarks while you take snooze.
 But the practice of hiding be- hind binders at the luncheon table or parties seems to most people particularly to men-to be an af- fectation. Men are annoyed because they can't see girls eyes; because she becomes mystery woman.
 Aside from the irritation that this practice of wearing dark glasses indoors arouses in people, it's a bad habit from a health point of view. Eye specialists warn against it. Many insist that you

Respiratory Infection Causes Many Illnesses

of everyday illnesses as compared with the number of illnesses or rather disturbances of health which are actually but manifestations of nutritional deficiency developing in consequence of crippling Of oral or salivary digestion.
 By oral (mouth) or salivary di- gestion I mean the grinding or pro- cessing of food by chewing, to pre- pare it for easy digestion in stomach and duodenum, and the action of the digestive enzyme or ferment ptyalin in the saliva upon cooked starches, which the enzyme converts to form of readily soluble sugar. This digestion goes on not only while the food is being masticated, but it continues for half an hour to an hour after the food has entered the stomach before the action of the ptyaIn is finally stopped by the acidity of the gastric juice.
 When this oral or salivary diges- tion of cereals, vegetables, foods made of flour, is impaired because of deficient mastication, an extra burden is thrown upon the pam creatic digestion in the duodenum and the lower portion of the intes- tine and sooner or later this pan creatic digestion fails. The net and inevitable consequence is that the individuals nutrition is deficient, and nutritional deficiency spells poor health.
 ] I venture to say there are millions of people in this country today un- dergoing medicinal, dietetic and other kinds of treatment for chronic troubles given various familiar nam es, which are actually the manifes- tations of nutritional deficiencies due to (a) overrefinement of every day diet or foods by processes which remove or destroy vitamins and min erals, and tb) impairment of diges- tion by loss of teeth.
 The moral of this is simple enough: Keep all twenty-eight to thirty-two teeth-your own or the best artificial teeth your dentist can give you-in good working order all the time. It is poor economy to skimp on dentistry or try to limp along without it and spend money on tonics, sedatives, pain killers physics and the like.
 American dentistry is the best in the world, but still there are many millions of Americans who do not avail themselves of it-not because they can't afford it but because they do not understand how essential 1t

Father was headed in the right direction when he conjectured that all disease begins in the stomach, in the opinion of one of his sons. can't say all disease-I still be- lieve three-fourths of our common everyday illness or at any rate the illness that comes under medical care is due to respiratory infection. mostly preventable, too, if people were not so dashed ignorant about spreading their alleged colds in discriminatory I must except also the malignancies-cancer-thec cause of which nobody knows, and the various well defined bacterial and parasitic diseases. But excluding all of these from consideration, we have plenty of vague chronic ill- ness or impaired health, functional weakness-we have plenty of poor health to account for. It is my firm belief that much if not most of this health failure begins in the mouth.
 This is entirely aside from the question of focal infection, which accounts for only a minor fraction

Good Evening.

Do you recall the old back yard Held high in juvenile regard? The old apple tree where the swing hung The Seele pear tree when you were very young? The of naSurtums, the fever-few The bachelor buttons and zinnias too? The informality of the landscaping, The fun you had at flower bed shaping? You perhaps recall where you played store" And your bike parked on the cellar door, The old grape arbor along the side of the house, The fine long hose with which you would douse One another hot August days When you suffered from the suns hot rays. The old back yard a celebrated spot, Big enough for ball game all over the lot The rose bushes arranged helter-skelter, And the great old trees formed shelter On rainy day when something was afoot, Secluded, quiet where you had collected your loot For circus perhaps country store, What else indeed, were back yards for? Passing by the back yard today. You wonder how you worked in so much pay When Jack Bill and Tom often came to grief, And you were the big noise Indian chief

me this hand, he said s.1f you want to learn how to play cards, play with experts because they bid every hand up to the hilt. I made an in- nocent overcall of one spade over my partners heart bid, only to have him jump to four"
 But Fred's plugging and slip on the part of an opponent gave them the contract.
 He trumped the opening club lead in dummy, went over to his king of hearts, led low spade and fnessed the queen. West won with the king and made the mis- take of coming back with the jack of clubs. Hirsch covered with the queen, East played the ace and dummy trumped with the eight of spades. The ace and queen ot hearts were then cashed, Hirseh discarding two diamonds.
 A diamond was led to the ace the ten of clubs cashed and a diamond discarded from dummy The ace of clubs was trumped with dummy's ace of spades, and the nine of hearts led Now there was no way to defeat the contract.
 
 If Hirsch had attempted to ruff out the clubs, the contract could easily have been defeated. West too might have defeated the hand by leading the king of diamonds when he was in with the king of spades, rather than leading the jack of clubs. However, though we strive for perfection in bridge we are human and subject to error. Give your opponents a chance to make a mistake and they often will.

 But, Lore important from the ball clubs point of view, they shrieked, squealed, and yelled like veteran baseball fans at every ex- citing play.
 The combined bargain of free seats and the possibility of free n.y. Ions was undoubtedly what brought lot of the ladies to the game in the first place. But, once there, they found it was the game itself that held their interest. And own- CT Bill Weeks audience potential has gone up by 10000.
