What If Means:
First Annual
Armed Forces Day
BY CLARKE BEACH
WASHINGTON. — (AP) ~— The
military services will pass through
one more step in their sonrewhat
painful unification process on
Armed Forces Day, May 20.
They'll be cheering for one an
other and jointly putting on pa
rades, demonstrations and parties,
But many of the celebrants will
undoubtedly be sadly recalling the
past, when each service had a day
of its own.
The last individual celebration
was Army Day, April 6, 1949—the
anniversary of America’s entry
into the first World War. That
afternoon President Truman and
Secretary of Defense Johnson
watched a parade. That night
Johnson spoke to the Military Or
der of World Wars, a civilian or
ganization of ex-Army officers
who had promoted and sponsored
Army Day from its origin in 1928,
Johnson took the occasion to
amnounce to his hosts that they
were celebrating their last Army
Day, He and the President, he
said, had decided that afternoon
there would be no more individ
ual “days,” that in the interest of
unification they’d all get together
in 1950 on one day, His hosts re
ceived the announcement coldly.
On August 30, 1949, Johnson
announced that Armed Forces Day
would be celebrated on the third
Saturday in May, When the time
came for Air Force Day, the sec~
ond Saturday in September, the
occasion passed unnoticed. It had
been celebrated only once —in
1948 commemorating the founding
;)f ;he Air Force September 17,
947,
Secretary of the Navy Mat
thews chose Navy Day, October
27, 1949, as the occasion for dis
missing the popular Chief of Na
val Operations, Admiral Louis E.
Denfeld. It was a double blow to
many Navy men, They nrissed the
old-time fanfare and public dem=
onstrations, And many of them
had warmly approved Denfeld’s
criticism of the cuts in Navy
strength in hearings before Con-
The Navy had been celebrating
its day since 1922. It had been
sponsored by the Navy League,
another civilian organization, It
commemorated the founding of
the Navy in October, 1775, and
‘the birth of President Theodore
Roosevelt, a “big Navy” man,
When the time canre for the
Marine Corps Birthday, Novem
ber 10, the corps fared better than
its brother services. Johnson let
the Marines continue to celebrate
on their posts, as long as it was
just a family birthday party, They
held formations of troops, gave
parties, cut cakes — all on their
own reservations. The Leather
necks had been making a big oc
casion of the birthday since 1921.
The date is the anniversary of the
founding of the corps at Tun Tav
ern, in Philadelphia, in 1775.
Actually there had never been
& “Marine Day.” There had been
only limited public participation
in the birthday celebrations, The
other services used their days,
thowever, to drurmn up public su
#port—to interest congressmen and
recruits, Thus a unified Armed
Forces Day does eliminate con
siderable competition among the
services, both for appropriations
and manpower.
There are still anniversary cele
biations within the various servi
_¢és. Sonre companies or squadrons
t holding distinguished unit cita
‘..tions celebrate privately on the
f"date they were cited. And some
wbranches of the Army, such as the
Quartermaster, Signal or Engi
neers Corps, have annual parties,
The Navy League intends to ob
serve Navy Day hereafter by
holding memorial services for
sailors buried at sea. The services
always had been a feature of the
day's celebrations, When the Lea
gue didn’t hold them last year, it
caught considerable criticism.

RECORDER’S COURT
A truck-auto collision early today at the intersection of
Broad and Milledge proved to be the most important case
in Recorder’s Court today befere Judge Olin Price.
Two negro women were badly injured in the erash. Their
absence from court forced Judge Price to hold the case
open on reckless driving charges against both drivers.
Injured were Sallie Echols, 41,
and Nobie Howard, 40. Both were
listed as in fair condition at St.
Mary’s hospital. The Echols wo
man suffered a broken rib and
bruises and abrasions.
Both were passengers in a negro
cab driven by Jomer Jordan, jr|
Lt. Hoyt Brown, who investigated
the wreck told the court the cab
was going south on Milledge and
the tractor-trailer truck was com
ing into town on Broad. The truck
struck the cab broadside, knocking
it some 37 feet froth the point of
impact.
The car was heavily damaged
and the truck suffered lesser dam
age. The truck was driven by
;tl'aanm Newsome, Clearwater,
Both drivers claimed to have the
green light. Another truck driver,
following Newsome, claimed that
the trucker had the green light.
Meanwhile Judge Price heard 38
other cases today, with charges of
disorderly conduct appearing quite
frequently. Some 13 cases were
for this offense with the majority
of the defendants forfeiting bonds
of $15.75. Two were fined $10.75.
Charges of drunkenness were a
close second with 12 cases heard.
Only one defendant appeared for
trial in this category, the other 11
forfeiting bonds of $10.75. The ne~
gro woman who ,was tried is a
trusty at the city stockade who got
drunk while on an errand from
the prison, When she returned to
the stockade she was almost too
drunk to talk.
Charges of reckless driving also
were frequent. There was five
cases in this class, two cases—
booked on following days—against
one defendant. He was fined
$15.75 on each eount.
Another defendant under the
same charge talked himself into an
added fine by explaining to the

Little Change
From Voter Law
ATLANTA, May I—(AP)—
Georgia®s new reregistration law
has not had much effect so far
on the total number of voters in
the state.
Of the first 44 counties to report
to Secretary of State Ben Fortson,
most show about the same registra
tion figures or a slight increase,
Only Chatham, with a drop of 20,~
000, shows a big decrease in reg
istration.
In Chatham, the old registration
list can no longer be used. A spe=
cial act of the 1949 Legislature
made Chatham the only county
in which the old list was thrown
out completely and reregistration
made mandatory.

The New York Theatre
By ESTHER BUSH
The incomparable Alfred Lunt
and Lynn Fontanne are the whole
show in the Theatre Guild’s pro
duction of “I Know My Love” by
S. N. Behrman. For although the
play is weak and trivial, it pro
vides a vehicle in which this su
perb husband and wife team has
an opportunity to display every
facet of their finished art.
The play, which covers a period
of 50 years, requires the Lunts to
play the roles of a couple from
early youth to old age, and their
virtuosity is such that they are
equally convincing at each age
they portray.
The play opens with Thomas
and Emily Chandler, played by the
Lunts, celebrating their (fiftieth
wedding anniversary in their man
sion in Boston in 1939. Then, in
a series of flashbacks, it shows the
various crises in the course of their
lives, including several infidelites
on the part of Thomas, their
daughter’s ill-fated romance, the
suicide of Thomas’ brother and
their son’s antatgonism to his
father’s domination. Through it
all, however, their love remains
steadfast.
The Lunts” smooth, effortless,
experienced acting, the fine shad
ing of their characterizations,
make their performance memora
ble. It makes you overlook the
shallowness of the writing, full of
cliches,
The play marks the twenty-fifth
year and the twenty-first time that
this famous couple have starred
together sinece they started their
partnership in 1924 with “The
Guardsman.”
Superb Cast
A superb cast, headed by Mau
rice Evans, Marsha Hunt, Victor
Jory and Denis XKing, is pre
senting a sparkling revival of Ber
nard Shaw’s comedy, “The Devil’s
Disciple.”
Mr. Evans gives a dashing and
ebullien® performance as Dick
Dudgeon, ne’er-do-well and self
styled “devil’s disciple,” who,
however, substitutes himself for
Minister Anderson when the Bri
tish in New Hampshire decide to
hang the minister as a rebel dur
ing the American Revolution. Mr,
Jory gives a strong portrayal as
the minister who, to his amaze
ment, finds himself turned into a
man of action by the exigencies of
war, and succeeds in saving Dick
at the last moment. Miss Hunt is
charming as the minister’s young
wife," who falls in love with Dick
until her husband’s metamorpho
sis, and then as promptly falls in
love with her husband.
But it is Dennis King as the
British General Bourgoyne, “gen
tlemanly Johnny,” who reluctantly
and most politely sentenced Dick
to death and is delighted when he
is saved, who gives the perform
ance-of the evening. Mr. King is
magnificent as he annihilates with
polite but withering scorn his stu
pid and pompous major who can
not comprehend that the British
face defeat. Although Mr. King
does not appear until the second
half of the play, his is a rich role
and he plays it to the hilt.
Hilda Vaughn gives a penetrat
ing performance in the minor role
of Dick’s self righteous, bad heart
ed mother. Margaret Webster has
staged the play with intelligence
and verve,
Guest Artist
Yvette Chauvire of the Paris
Opera was guest artist with the
Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo dur
ing its three-week engagement
which just closed at the Metropol
itan Opera House.
At a recent performance we at
tended, Miss Chauvire was fea
tured in “Romeo and Juliette,” a
fantasia on Shakespeare’s play
staged by Constantin Nepo to
Tchaikowsky’s overture, In this
ballet, which is more mime than
dance, Miss Chauvire exhibited her
admirable technique and dramatic
power. Oleg Tupine was a grace
ful Romeo.
Mr. Tupine was also Mary Fllen
Moylan’s partner in the charming
“Ballet Imperial,” with choreogra
phy by George Balanchine in the
manner of the Russian classie bal
let, to Tschaikowsky’s Second Pia
no Concerto. The gifted Miss Moy
lan gave an enchanting perform
ance.
Alexandra Danilova, the com
pany’s first ballerina, and Leon
Danielian danced brilliantly in
“Madronos,” a colorful Spanish
ballet by Antonia Cobos, consist
ing of a series of lively tableaux,
to the music of Moszkowski and
Saint-Saens.
“Graduation Ball,” choreo
raphed by David Lichine to Jo
fiann Strauss’ music, is a very
amusing ballet in which the head
mistress of a girls’ school which
gives a ball for 4 military academy
flirts outrageously and most com
ically with the academy head, and
the ball turns into a gay revel.

work in this light-hearted, de
lightful ballet. Yvonne Chouteau,

were featured.
“The Miser”
A recently formed off-Broad
way professional company, Thea
tre Classics, is putting on a rollick~
ing and very enjoyable production
of Moliere’s comedy, “The Miser,”
at the Walt Whitman School Thea
tre.
William Jackson, who plays the
title role, gives a hilarious por
trayal of the miser who is de
termined to marry his son’s sweet«
heart Mariane until the son, who
manages to secure his father’s
gold, forces him to give up this
ides in exchange for the recovery
of his gold. Donald Somers, as
the miser’s cook and coachman,
proves himself a skilled and clever
comedian. Louis Larabee is very
funny as the racy, shrewd match
maker.
Among the other members of the
cast who gave splendid perform
ances are Henry Waldon as Cle
ante, the son: Ellen Humphrey as
the dainty Mariane; Dorothy
Steele as the miser’s daughter and
Earry Blyden as her lover.
The direction, under Dan Levin,
is as capable as the acting, The
production is beautifully and
sumptuously costumed.
Comie Fantasy
“Tobias and the Angel” is a de
lightful comic fantasy as presented
by another off-Broadway group,
On-Stage, at the Bleecker Street
Playvhouse.
In the words of the author,
James Bridie, a Scotch physician,
the play is “a free-wheeling and
easy-going retelling of the age
old book of Tobit from the writ
ings of the Apochrypha.”
The play opens with the blind
Tobit, who has given his wealth
away to the needy, living in the
slums of Ninevah, where he is
visited by the Archangel Raphael
disguised as a porter. Tobit’s prac
tical wife, Anna, induces their son
Tobias to go on a long journey to
collect a huge debt, and the angel
accompanies him. After many ad
ventures Tobias marries the weal
thy Sarah, collects the debt, and
they journey back to Tobias’s pa
rents. The angel then restores To
bia’s sight, reveals his identity
and tells Tobi that his good fortune
is a reward for his goodness.
The play, except for a slow start,
acts well and the cast gives it a
strong, full bodied performance.
“The Scapegoat”
John Matthews, a playwriting
instructor at the Dramatic Work
shop, is author of “The Scapegoat,”
which is being given its New York
premiere by the Workshop at the
President Theatre.
Theme of the play is that it is
the good, innocent people in the
world who are responsible for the
world’s evils because their apathy
and indifference permit evil tc
flourish, Joseph K., an innocent,
minor bank executive in an uni
dentified country, which hints of
Germany, is arrested by the police,
his possessions seized, and he is
ordered to appeear in court to
answer charges of which he is
never informed. After a trial
which is a bitter mockery of jus
tice he is executed. As he dies he
declares that his real guilt con
sists in aiding injustice and cruelty
by his indifference. ;
Erwin Piscator, head of the
Workshop, who directed the play,
has given it a startling, effective
nightmare quality throughout. The
splendid acting by the large cast
would do credit to Broadway.
Russian Film
“The Victors and the Van
quished,” Russian film making its
American premiere at the Stanley
Theatre, recreates in detail the
battle of Stalingrad and the per
sonalities involved,
Directed by Vladimir Petrov, it
is the sequel to his “The First
Front.” It shows, in documenitary
style, but without resorting to
newsreels, preparations for the
Russian counter~-offensive, the en
circlement of the Germans, their
overwhelming defeat and the sur
render of Field Marshal Von Pau
lus.
