Editorial Correspondence
LOS AN'GELES, March 26.
Hull in "Tobacco Road" at the
this was the big dramatic smash
the critics predicted it wouldn t last a week. Only shows what
an uncertain factor, popular approval can sometimes be. A few
years ago Abie's Irish Rose was
(bnt for very different reasons), and it broke all records for
duration and box office receipts. Tobacco Road projected Hull
a very young man suddenly into stardom and eventually sent
him to Hollywood where he has just completed a profitable
movie contract. N'ow after a few weeks here Hull and Tobacco
Road will be sent on a nation wide tour!
We would make the same prediction about a road tour for
Tobacco Road, that the X. Y. critics made about it first appear
ance on Broadway. We can t believe provincial America will
ever STAND for it. But no doubt future events will demon
strate we know even less about such things than the dramatic
critics.
t
Tobacco Road was written by
minister and is a dramatic exposition of one Jeeter Lester and
his poor white trash family $ slatternly overworked wife, a
half witted degenerate daughter, an incorrigible roughneck son,
and others. It has no plot in the conventional sense. It is moro
a "case study" in moral and physical degradation, leaving noth
ing to the imagination and nothing to the board of censorship.
Not only is the dialogue brutally frank, but the action is at
times, only a ew steps removed from the barn yard. Yet the
Belasco was packed with what could be termed a "representa
tive audience", young and old of both sexes, and the applause
was so enthusiastic and insistent at the close that Henry Hull
came within one jump and a step of making a curtain speech.
.....
As for that, Mr. Hull deserved it an excellent example of
artistic and realistic characterization. There wasn't a flaw or a
false move in it we could detect Jeeter Lester is a shocking
stage character, whose utter lock of any moral sense, or real
human feeling rather than his
ness, one will not soon forgot.
In fact on artistic grounds
itself. We have no doubt it gives a truer picture of the low
white trash problem now existing in the south, than Uncle Tom's
Cabin gave of the slavery problem. And it has this distinct
advantage over Mrs. Stowe's famous opus, it is entirely free
trom sentimentality or clap trap. There is no straining for
effect. It is stark realism, holds a mirror up to nature, or
what is undoubtedly a department nf human nature in the south,
draws the picture, closes the clinic, and leaves the moraliz
ing to someone else.
Furthermore, strictly on moral grounds. Tobacco Road also
has its justification. For certainly immorality is not made at
tractive, there is nothing alluring about poverty, sin and de
pravity, in real life; there is nothing alluring and a great deal
that is revolting in Tobacco Road. And we wouldn't be sur
prised if this play would eventually bring about radical reforms
in the economic and social conditions of the far South particu
larly in the direction of education, birth control, and sociul
hygiene. For the normal reaction to such a play we believe to
be that of shocked amazement, that in any country calling itsjlf
civilized, such conditions could exist followed by the convic-
uun, mat somerning suuuijU
impossible.
Well then what objections
fear that on moral or soeinlogieul
tor that matter on artistic grounds, for dramatically it is as
far as Hull is concerned, (we didn't think so much of his
support) a fine piece of work, and the play is undoubtedly
well written and true to life. What then J
Merely this and we don't
he dismissed as old fashioned and sentimental. Somehow if a
play like Tobacco Road, CAN, not only pack in the audiences,
in our large cities, but "get by" without a riot, .in what are
sometimes termed "the sticks,"
has lost something in moral SENSITIVITY, which slmuM nnt
have been lost, and which it is a pity, TO have lost.
We don't believe we could sustain that viewpoint in a debate
with Mr. Erskine Caldwell, the author, for example, or anyone
else. For it wouldn't be so much a criticism of the play, as of
the state of public morals and popular taste. However, rational
or irrational, mai is tne way we

THE COSMETIC
In the name of the father, the
son. the brother and most especially
the busbsnd. if any. of every girl In
North America, I
utter this squawk.
It Is high time
somebody called
for three jeers
for an Intoler
able situation,
and I hope a few
of the suckers
will say an au
dible amen.
Here in the
1 y 1 n g - in room
where I give
birth to the crazy
notions that keep
this column In hot water, dutch and
the best pspers In the country, natu
rally I keep , apace m yard wide and
two or three yards long cleared
where, whenever anything bothers
me, I can roll a half dozen somer
sault and brush It off. I am quite
serious about this; unlike some doc
tors, I use my own medicine. But
once a year comes an occasion when
the good old rolls fall to give any
relief, and I Just stomp up and
down the rink gritting my teeth,
groaning end muttering Impreca
tions. This Is when the maddening
news comes telling what the nation's
bill for cosmetics was last year.
Now for goodness sake don't Infer
that I'm an old meanle. Nothing
like thst, mama er, I -should say,
I like my women prim, plump and
pulchrltudlnous and I don't go for
frumps and frig tits in any case. The
woman who does not avail herself
of cosmetic art when art would en
hance her beauty belongs in the
category of the man who neglects
to shave and brush the dandruff off
his shoulder.
But, good gracious, girls, have a
heart. If you have no heart, then
try to have some brains anyway. In
this day of depression, prlvaton and
misery, how can any woman with a
heart squander money on humbug
cosmetics and keep a good con
science? These pernicious nostrums
are promoted at tremendous expense.
and even If the poor working girls
chip In a considerable share of their
scant wages to pay for It all. It Is
a sad thing to see college bred wo
men emulating the shopgirls and
gum-chewing stenographers for all
of which poor father has to pay, no
matter what grade or class hla wo
men folk belong to. I say every
woman should use such artifice as
may be necessary to make her look
as attractive aa possible, but at the
name time she ought to have brains
enough to remain unimpressed by
nil the beauty bunk.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
FRANK BRANCH RILEY Is an era
tor whom people listen to because
they LIKE It, and not because they
feel It to be a duty.
That ts the highest tribute that
can be paid a speaker.
FOR years Mr. Riley made an an
nual lecturing tour to the East,
telling them back there of the beau
ties of Oregon, and It la probable
that he has brought to this state
more people with money to spend
than any other individual.
His present Job hobby, perhaps,
would be a better word la telling
the people of the Pacific Coast about
the federal housing act. and audi
ences come to hear him wondering
vaguely what it la all about and go
away fired with burning seal to bor
row money from the housing admin
istration and go forth and build
themselves a home.
His speeches have that effect
partly because he is a gifted orator,
but chiefly because he believe what
he says.
FRANK RIELY. Incidentally. Is still
a Republican, and a lot of the
new deal be can't see with a tele
scope, but he DOES believe In the
housing act, and he doesn't permit
his Republicanism to stand In the
way of helping out with whatever of
the new deal he believes to be good.
APART of the secret of his success
lies In bis sense of humor he
Is Irish, you know and he doesn't
hesitate to poke fun at himself.
He was once asked, he says, to
speak before a federation of women's
organizations In an Eastern city, and
did so. At the conclusion, after the
applause had died down, the chair
man came to him with a check.
"But I can't accept money," he told
her. "I am glad of the opportunity
to address you."
The chairman persisted, but Mr.
Riley was firm. Finally she said:
"Perhaps you can accept the check
and then endorse It back to us for
the benefit of our fund."
"I'll be glad to do that." he an
swered. "And what is your fund used
for?"
'To secure better speakers," she
answered.
HE IS speaking for one of the
phases of the Roosevelt new deal
but he tells this one:
Two newspaper, readers laid down
their papers at the same time. "This
is a small world, after all," one said
to the other. "I see In the paper
where two of the RooeveIts met yes
terday." (Thst. you know, is a wisecrack
based on the fact that the Roosevelt
family travels around quite a little).
HERBERT HOOVER spoke in Port
land recently, and Frank Riley
was toastmaster. The ex-President
turned to him and asked: "Where do
I come on the program?" "You come
last." he answered.
"That's good," he responded in a
relieved tone. "It will give me more
time to get over my nervousness."
This man. you see, who for four
years held the highest position In the
world, about whom the fierce light
of publicity beat constantly, was
never able to conquer stage fright.
"As an engineer," he explained to
Mr. Riley, "I have been trained to
talk to people acros a table, with a
blueprint between us, but I've never
been able to get on my feet and ad
dress an audience without feeling
nervotis."
