"Politics, next to baseball, is our greatest National game." So says cne of the characters in tne Baker play this week.' And that same Baker play, be it recorded, is punch full of politics, played as Americans know the National game. Its title alone would suggest the nature of the story it tells. "Fight ing Bob." or "The Man Higher Up." is the play; Henry Russell Miller wrote it and Edith Ellis dramatized It For the first time in the West this play is being produced, and consequently the Baker Players can be Judged solely on their own merits In roie interpreta tions. Maybe that is why the band of Baker Players this week fairly jump into the parts and get away with every bit of blood and meat the roles hold. The play is a man's play, and one that men like, but it is so marvelously clear that women get all ot the politl cal plot. Probably' the fact that a woman dramatized the story has some thing to do with the clarity of the ex pressions. The story depicts a big incident, the crux in the career of Bob MoAdoo, who rose from a newsy to power In politics, He is sated with the life, and it3 at tendant responsibilities and is ready to retire when he is forced to remain at the helm to put through an employers' liabtlity act. He forms a coalition with a brilliant young orator. Remington, and then fate wills it that he shall fall in love with the only sister of his bit terest 'enemy. Seeds of unrest take root in his men tal makeup and Fighting Bob seeks "the man higher up." who Is. of course, his better self. He becomes a re former and is on the verge of election as Mayor when it is discovered that one of his ward-heelers has bribed the delegates. McAdou shields the ward heeler, and then Remington sells Mc Adoo's story to the paper. He is de feated for Mayor, but he triumphs over himself. He becomes "the man higher up." and he wins the girl. A new brotherhood bond between himself and Remington is strengthened when the latter learns he was made a tool of by McAdoo's enemies. One pretty little incident is the life long devotion, paid McAdoo ty a little Irish girl who has helped develop him Into a big man. " Mary Edgett-Baker played the Irish girl with a compelling sweetness that catches the heart strings. Dorothy Shoemaker is a lovely laughing cynical devil-girl. who develops a heart as the story advances. So many of Ed ward C. Woodruff's roles have been said to ue "his best" that It becomes a problem' to compare roles. He plays righting Bob with such mental dig nity, force of personality and depth of sincerity that the character becomes a living thing. It is truly one of Mr. Woodruff s big dramatic triumphs. Louis Leon Hall has a lovable role as Remington and even when he turns traitor It is with sympathetic under standing that we view him. Walter Gilbert's picture of an old sick Senator is a gem, full of pathos and power. Grace Lord, dainty and demure as the Governor's wife; Thomas Walsh, as the ward-neeler. a clever character study; Carl Strousse. as a. political welcher, another excellently sustained charac terization, and Raymond Wells, as the cold, relentless and aiways-on-the-job "opposition." are a few of the principals in a long ca3t. t TOSi.i-i i. . :'.:. ."::! 1 - It V H J f i ' i ' 1 " tit fnm-i .-. n. t "forw'nt frit y ft nlssMWiMr ir- 1 r:; :; X' 't If At t t:" ' - : . -fix lf : - it I v'v Mteiti A: 7 - " 3- , X ' - J ?
