equally unshakeable loyalty in re-
turn.
In the relationship of these
two helpless humans. Steinbeck
tells a dramatic story which be-
comes the more dramatic with
the injection of Curley's wife into
it.
When Lennie kills her and
forces George to become his exc
cutioner, "Of Mice and Men" has
wrapped up the tragic inevitable
as completely as any modern dra-
matist has done it.
X
Rawlings, who gave corking
performance in Arenas premiere
production, "She Stoops to Con-
quer," repeats his excellence as
George in the new Hippodrome
exhibit. The portrait he creates
is that of a man trapped in his
sense of responsibility for an over
size moron. He is forced to be-
friend Lennie because no one else
will and when he shoots the lat
ter, he achieves the supreme act
of friendship in the code by which
he lives.
divers Lennie is another ad-
mirable pit of craftsmanship in
that it never let's the character
lose pity while denying it none
of its quality of gruesome comedy.
Dorothea Jackson, in the role
that Betty Field brought off so
effectively in the film version,
confirms the hints of excellence
in her playing in ''She Stoops to
Conquer" AS Curley's wife, she
is Georges equivalent in desper-
ate loneliness and Illustration, and
Miss Jackson makes these quail
ties abundantly clear along with
the truth that mere promiscuity
was not the girls basic trouble.
Beyond these. Harry Scully as
the mule-skinner, Slim; Forrest
Monroe as the crippled Swamp
err" Candy; and Jack Carter as
the Negro stable hand are the
standout performers.
Their best, however, is not
enough to efface the vivid memory
of earlier and more conventional
productions of "Of Mice and
Men"

1ngly upon the knees OF an audi
ence Snuggled as closely as audi
ences are in Arena Theater.
Yet, somehow in spite of this
Arenas "Of Mice and Men" is an
interesting experience in theater-
going. It reiterates that Director
Edward Mangum and his impress
sively talented acting group are
courageous adventures. It also
reafiirms, if such is needed, that
Steinbeck. wrote a starkly power
full drama of life's lower depths
in this particular play.
What it leaves debatable is
how much his naked realism
needs the illusion of conventional
proscenium staging to make "Of
Mice and Men" dramatically
complete. At the standard dis
tance it was played originally
and in the film version, it struck
this reviewer as dramatically Su-
perior to the production which
opened last night at the Hippo
drome for a three weeks run.
The privacy of the spectators
relation to this particular story
of Lennie, George, Curley's wife
and the other is uncomfortably
diminished and he is diverted
rather constantly by the sight of
actors handling props and NOV
ing into entrance areas. He Is
left a bit too aware of form and
uncertain that Steinbeck is the
playwright who should be re-
shaped to fit it.
The Arena stage cast headed
by Lester Rawlings, Henry Oliver
and Dorothea Jackson is one of
the ablest groups ever assembled
for community theater project
here.
Individually, its members are
excellent representatives of the
humans Steinbeck wrote about
here. Collectively, they catch the
pity which the author felt for
these bindle-stiff predecessors OF
his Grapes of Wrath" Okies.
Under Mangum's direction they
make it clear that this is one of
the most tender tough stories ever
written. Contemporary drama has
had almost nothing like this ex-
cerpt of life on a ranch run with
ttinerant labor.
These are migrants haunted by
insecurity and loneliness, each
with his special variation of the
twin terrors.
Most anguished of the lot is
George. played by Actor Rawl-
ings. This tramp harvest hand
has every quality that would en-
able him to escape from the
shabby existence. He knows what
human dignity is and how to
achieve it, but he is cursed with
a sense of decency that makes him
responsible for Lennie. The lat
ter is a childlike giant, whose
tenderness toward small and help
less things always ends in his
killing them, yet the loyalty he
feels for George demands ar

The air will gradually collect there

it merely congresses and expands

then, of course, be no flow of water

method of piping. The suction line
should be arranged with gradual

l inch to each Is feet.

Care must be taken to lead or paint
all joints to guard against leaks
If the suction line leaks, the pump
will give trouble. An almost hori-

1000 feet, but care must be taken
to slope it gradually from the pump
to the we'll
The longer the suction line, the
greater the strain on the suction
valves in the pump. On suction lines
over 100 feet in length it is essential
to use an extra vacuum chamber to
relieve the suction valves and also
to guard against water hammer.

as its greater speed-an important

garine bill that was carried on
last week, it remained unsettled
whether civil rights amendments
also would be offered.
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota said he will decide
tomorrow whether to offer such
amendments.
There's a 50-to-50 chance I
will" he told reporters. He added
that the amendments are already
prepared.
Which one will you of1er?"
the Senator was asked.
"All of them," Senator LANCER
replied. why not?"
He said he had in his desk anti
lynching and anti-poll tax amend
ments and one setting up a fair
employment practices commission
all features of President Tru-
mans own civil rights program
so bitterly opposed by most Of
the Southerners supporting the
oleo bill.
Willing to Schedule Vote.
Senate Wiley said the dairy
group Is willing Ito set a certain
day." perhaps next Friday, for
voting on the bill and all its
amendments.
ttThus." he added. "the dairy
supporters re-emphasize their de-
sire to have the final vote taken
at the earliest possible data, for
it has always been their position
to secure reasonable and appro-
PIRATE debate without a filibuster.', :.
He said the principal amend
ment to be offered will be one
drafted by Senator Johnson
Democrat, Of Colorado. It will be
supplemented by others including
three by Senator Butler, Republi-
can, Of Nebraska.
The proposed amendments
would repeal wartime excise levies
on such things as transportation
jewelry. furs. toilet preparations,
light bulbs. luggage, admissions
to theaters and fairs, membership
fees and telegraph. telephone, ra-
dio and cable tolls.
Senator Wiley estimated they
would slash about $500, 900 900
annually from the Government S
revenue. But he insisted there
would be practically no loss" of
revenue as much Of the sum would
be picked up In income taxes.
Ban on Shipments Sought.
Senator Wiley said the tax
amendments and a few others
would be incorporated into a sub
stitute proposal offered by Is
dairy-State Senators. The sub
stitute would repeal the Federal
oleo taxes but would impose a ban
on shipment Of the yellow product
in interstate commerce.
An amendment offered by Sen
ator Mccarthy, Republican. of
Wisconsin. would ban what the
Senator described as dishonest
advertising" seeking to give the
impression that oleo is a dairy
product. Backers Of the oleo-
margarine bill said they would
not oppose this amendment.
But another proposal by Sena-
tor Mccarthy was described as
"just silly" It would provide that
each package of oleomargarine
contain the legend In letters one

Before he reached San Fran

play, reciting soliloquies from
