that mans present hope lies in
faith in God" He added:
"The prophets of doom lose

Cowboys Particular
About Their Saddles
BY the Assoeiassd Press

PUEBLO. Colo.-A man who has
been making saddles here for so
years says: II have never seen a
woman who Is more particular
about her clothing than a cowboy
is about his saddle" This is true,
Fred H. Mcconnell said, even
though the number of saddle
makers-and cowboys-has dwin-
died woefully with the passing
years.
Only IS years ago there were
more than 100 saddlemakers and
leather workers in Pueblo! now
there are no more than half
dozen. And Mcconnell, owner of
Mack's Saddlery on South Union
street, says he gets many more
orders nowadays from saddle clubs
than from cowboys.
In this machine era, saddle
is one thing still made nearly en-
tirely by hand.

In the churches, synagogues
and religious meeting places
across the land yesterday and
the day before rang a call for
greater hope. more love, less fear.
deeper faith and more devotion
to God in the worlds time of

On Sabbath Day that marked
the eve of a new half century
and of new year, sermons urged
stronger spiritual awareness and
higher morality as a solution to
international strife and threats
Of war.
For many denominations
throughout the country. it was a
special day Of prayer" for the
establishment of peace. Some
worshipers met through the night
until dawn.
In the sermons preached in the
quiet, little country churches and
in the huge, metropolitan audi
toriumS, there was one, dominant
theme that echoed over and over
again like chords on great or

Only through the Spirit of God
can mankind conquer the force
Of destruction.
More Tolerance Urged.
Some ministers counseled more
tolerance, more deliberation, less
taunting and recimination. Others
warned against despair or fear.
From the Scriptures, the minis
ters drew assurance that Divine
power stood on the side Of right
and Of men of good will. Many
urged not only prayer. but pur-

were asked for the United Ma

tuous of such wantonly small
imagination as his.
To make a great play out of so
small a figure, Miller unflinch-
ingly faced the facts of Willy
Loman's little life.
He was a man, a salesman,
way out there in the blue, riding
on a smile and a Shoeshine." He
never bought anything that did
not wear out before he paid the
final installment on it. He could
not keep from betraying the wife
he adored. He could not face the
fact that the sons of whom he
expected so much. were ungrateful
buns, especially his beloved Biff
the older boy whose life stopped
at II when he trapped Willy with
the other woman. He could never
get over hating his Cousin Char
ley who ran commonplaceness
and rugged honesty into a finan-
cial success that supported Willy
in his final days.
There is much to search out in
such seemingly simple figure as
the hero of Death of a Sales
man" The remnant of the real
man and the moments of fan
taSy and reverie which beset the
victim of the crumbled mind
make Mitchell an extraordinarily
busy actor in the best play the
Gayety has had.
He meets the roles require
ments with the f1uidity of an as
tonishingly quick and eloquent
performer. If there is any cavil-
ling to be tolerated of his portrait
of Willy Loman it is that its vocal
pitch becomes too high in the ex-
plosive family quarrels.

IN this farewell series of perform
ances are Peggy Allenby, Paul
Langton, Howard Smith and 9TH
ers Of the last Broadway COM
pany of the most-talked-of play
Of its decade.
Any note of weariness in their
performance is too faint to sug-
gest that this is not one of the
exalting dramas of it's time, a
commentary on mans fatal tend
ency to dream himself into ex-
tinction in a world that is more
and more painfully real.
There have been a number of
Willy Lomans since Lee j. Cobb
created the role on Broadway two
years ago. None of these will
dispute that the real genius be-
hind this most famous of sales
men Is that of Author Miller. The
varying arts Of the actors play
ing him have been secondary.
Willy Loman is Miller's man and
quite possibly the one he will
never equal again despite his
comparative youthfulness as
dramatic writer.
1t Is he who discovered the
dramatic greatness in this pitiably
dreaming little figure, a talker
who lived to strangle on the words
on which he attempted to build
life for himself, his wife and
his sons. Because of the passion
with which he was written in
Death of a Salesman" WHY'S
final burial a few weeks hence
will find him remembered by
millions, perhaps the century's S
most triumphant failure.
The surprise to the habitual
patron Of Death of a Salesman" I"
which reviewers automatically be-
came through the seasons and the
changes In star performers, is It's
retention of emotional wallop. If
the surprise has gone out of the
lines and the situations, with
their lighting change from reality
10 reverie, 1t adds only that much
more to the surprise OF their
effect.
AS with each of the others in
the Willy role, Cobb, Gene Lock-
hart. and Albert Decker, Mitchell
colors 1t with his own qualities
as an artist worthy of the role.
The quick evaluation of his in
depreciation is that it differs
principally in that its comic as
poets are played more sharply, his
tntimation of WHY'S mental ten
sions higher. and its final stab
at the heroic gesture deeper in
Its pity.
The total portrait is that of a
man-salesman or whatever-who
could not dream himself above
his own tragic limitations. 1t was
WHY'S inescapable fate to end
up mental ruin trying to sustain
his illusions in a world contemp-
