to the horror and modification
Of the naughty natives.
Miss Nichols has modernized
the dialogue of her comedy.
But it's situation remains un-
changed. Apparently, and
worse still from the Broadway
viewpoint, its sentiment is iden-
tical with that Of the original.
New York, trying to be
brave, pins its hope on the
critics: a small mob of Davids
despatched to deal with a sea-
soned Goliath. =. The critics
Of a generation ago were great
in-fighters but they were over
matched here. At the end Of
five years, for instance. the late,
great Robert Benchley was say
ing in his pithy comment in The
New Yorker: We'll yet drive
this thing out of town."
Heading the new "Abie's Irish
Rose" cast are Neil Fitzgerald,
Ludwig Donath, Anna Appel and
Val Dufour. Not a star name
among them, but they may turn
out to be the most steadily en-
ployed performers of the next
season or so. Over what
smart New Yorkers might yet
wish were their dead bodies. /. !.
A mans glee at this prospect is
modified only by the fact that
we here may catch it. too.

DID THEY CARP: Metropol-
itan Opera Impressario Rudolph
Bing, and his press man, Francis
Robinson, must have had quite
q day when they sat down to the
reviews of last Mondays tele-
cast. After the music critics
had their Say-in the negative
mostly-the movie critics moved
in for a limited mopping up
action.
Our notion of the latters' COM
ment which must have stung
Mr.. Bing the most was refer
ence to the telecast performers
as "unsightly." -. This is a
strong word in even the vocabu-
laries of reviewers less than
famous for their restraint. J.. {.
The man might at least have
used a softer description, say,
"gifted ruins"
FULL CIRCLE: Time was,
within the memory of the mod
erately young, that critics could
not stomach the frothy dullness
of musical comedy and operetta
books. "Oklahoma!" took this
dagger out of their hands.
And a slew Of others such as
''Lady in the Dark" pal joey" !"
"Carousel," South Pacific" I"
"Bloomer Girl" etc.
However, to disarm the critics
Is one thing; to keep them dis
armed another. In the case
of Fanny" one of the major
complaints of the churlish mi
nority Is that S. N. Behrman
provided it with too much book.
There were some who
couldn't quite believe their eyes

by the old enemies of too little

Foundation to Spend SO Million
For Vaccine in Anti-P PoIio Fight

/ wait 10 days to get the vaccine
produced.
Report Expected In April.
Scientific evaluation is now
being made to determine wheth-
er the Salk vaccine is effective
in protecting against paralytic
polio. The study is being car
ried out at the University Of
Michigan under direction of DR..
Thomas Francis. jr.. world
famous epidemiologist. Results
are not expected to be known
! until about April l.
Mr.. O'Connor said the pur-
chase-to cost about So million
will enable pharmaceutical
manufacturers to retain special
lied personnel and facilities.
and thus be prepared to produce
| promptly a substantial quantity
OF vaccine to be available
through usual commercial chan
nels.
Licensing by the Laboratory of
Biologics Control of the Nation
al Institute of Health, United
States Public Health Service,
Washington, will be needed be-
fore the vaccine can be placed
on the market.
Mr.. O'Connor said the vaccine
purchased by the foundation will
be made available to all children
who participated in the field
trials this year and did not re-
ceive the vaccine; to pregnant
women and to the children who
will be in the first grade of
school next year.
Susceptible Groups.
Thus. Mr.. O'Connor noted. If
the vaccine is licensed. these
highly susceptible groups would
be offered protection before the
next polio season.
The groups for which the vac
cine is planned include 100000
children who participated in the
field trials early this year-but
not 100000 others who got the
real vaccine. Also included are
an estimated 4.275,OOO women
who will be pregnant between
next April l and September 80,
and 1925, 900 f1rst-grade chill
dren. This is a total of 10,49O,-
600, but only about 9 million
could be expected to ask for the
vaccine, Mr.. O'Connor said.
The 100000 qualified chill
dren are those who received only
an inactive injection or were not
vaccinated at all.

river trying to save his daughter.
The Currie family was poor now
and young Rolla, just out of col
lege, struck out into the world.
That was in 1893, the year of
the great Chicago Worlds Fair.
Rolla. then 10. got a job as a
clerk cataloging exhibits for the
Government. This led to WASH
ington where the assignment
ended and he found himself job
less.
Rolla spent his days visiting
the Bird Division of the National
Museum and on the sabbath
teaching Sunday school in a
colored mission at Fifth and w
streets NV.
Becomes EntOmOlOgist.
He got a job soon enough, as
an aide in the museums insect
division. But he got married and.
with a growing family, the
dream of priesthood slowly
ebbed.
The years passed. In 1924
Rolla Currie's wife died, his son
and daughter were growing UP.
He was now in charge of the
editorial Office Of the Bureau of
Entomology at the Agriculture
Department. and an expert on
the ant lion fly and the dragon
fly.
I thought a lot about that as
time passed." he unused. II
thought that when I retired they
might make me honorary custo-
ian OF the dragonfly division. "
In 1914. one year before re-
tirement. at SO, he took the big
step and was accepted as a dea-
con in the Episcopal Church.
Two years later, after study in
the Episcopal seminary in Alex
andria. The Rt. Rev. Angus Dun,
bishop of Washington, ordained
him a priest.
The Rev. Currie is now the
curate emeritus of st. Stephen
and the Incarnation Episcopal
Church. He is still active in the
church.
At its commencement last
month, North Dakota's Wesley
College awarded Father Currie
an Honorary Doctorate of Div
Unity for being "all his life inter-
ested and active in the Christian
movement"
