Snappy Production "Love

"Lore 'Em and Leave 'Em,"
which is the play in American
that the Streett players aro pre
senting tonight only at the Elsi
nore. is the best of the series of
realistic sections of contemporary
American life that they have pre
sented in the course of their en
gagement here.
"Kempy," and "The Family Up
stairs" belong to the same type.
Theatregoers who saw them with
the Streett players will remember
them with pleasure.
But neither of those two plays
had as a callaborator in its writing
the greatest living master of col
loquial American. "Love 'Em and
Leave 'Em' has this in John V. A.
Weaver, who aside from being the
most Important American poet
who has emerged in the past 10
years, has the surest knowledge
and most effective use of "Amer
icanese" that can be found among
contemporary writers.
"Love 'Em and Leave 'Em"
takes its title from one of Weav
er's best dialect American poems,
but the story is taken from other
of the themes on which Weaver
writes, and is woven by George
Abbott, with Weaver's assistance
s linguist and authority on folk
ways of the American lower mid
dle class into a comedy of life that
is more than -comedy.
Under the surface ripple of com
edy that sweeps the entire pl2y
is a pathos -as cruel as the pathos
In "The Song of the Shirt." and
tragedy as consummate as one can
hope to find anywhere except in
actuality in any modern, large,
"pep man" infested commercial
corporation in any American city
today.
Mary Daniel, Tom Chatterton
and it resolves itself into a cata
logue of the entire company this
week when, a reviewer begins to
pin the ephemeral bouquets of
praise the whole company then,
has stepped into the snugly fitting
vocabulary of colloquial American
that the playwright has afforded
and has made a very real narra
tive of what would be in high life
tragedy and what is in the comic
strip section of American society
in which three-fourths of our peo
ple must draw out their existence
broad and bitter comedy.
Mame Walsh, the elder Mater,
played by Mary Daniel, portrays a
character that has some genuine
magnificence of. soul, thrown
against the background of ciirrert
cowardices and evasions and com
promises which make op the aver
age daily life of those who aro
compelled to spend their lives in
punching time clocks.
The curtain will rise at 8:15

martial background was laid 'to
night for what may be a tempest
uous republican state convention
here tomorrow.
The seat of war shifted here
tonight from Lansing where a cir
cuit court order was issued' today
which, in effect, told the conven
tion what delegates it should seat
from Wayne county (Ietroit).
This order would bar thone dele
gates supporting Fred W. Green,
nominee for governor, and would
seat delegate favorable to Gover
nor Groesbeck. who was beaten
for renominatinn as governor by
Green at the September 14 pri
mary election.
Judge Lei and W. Carr at leas
ing' held that the legally chosen
delegation was that named by tho
"regular" Wayne county conven
tion after Green supporters had
bolted and had set up an opposi
tion meeting.
The republican state central
committee called ' a meeting to
night to determine what course to
pursue tomorrow. It was said
there is a strong possibility that
neither delegation will b recog
nized, leaving Wayne county with
out a vote in the convention
which then would be virtually an
all-Green affair. Such procedure
is not without precedent in Michi
gan political history.
