Noel Houston, graduate student and former church parlor dramatic editor of the Oklahoma City "Okla homan," writes a perspective of the accomplish ments of the Carolina plajrmakers: Less Twaddle, More Plays by Sam Green and Sam Hirsch I would be the last to dampen the ardor of any one with a growing social consciousness. The cri ticism of the i University's student playwrights made by Sam rlirsch and Sani Green in Satur day's Tar HeeL speaks well for their awareness of the injustices of the world and their eagerness that somebody do something about it. Writers occasionally need to be prodded with such stimu lating stuff. Let's overlook for the moment that Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Green have not seen fit to write any plays whatsoever but instead have confined their activi ties as Playmakers to acting before the public in plays which Playmaker writers toiled over in soli tary mental hell.

Recent European developments have thrown the League into the ugly light of impuissance, and many consider it a failure. But there is at least one active group and it is here on this campus which believes in the aims and potentialities of the League of Nations. Two years ago an organization was founded which decided to call itself the League of Nations committee. As such it functioned largely as a study of the actions of the League and for suggestions of possible improvements. Last year Alex Heard was appointed chairman, but his CPU duties forced him to resign early this year. Henry Nigrelli was then chosen, and under his active leadership the organization has expanded to 30 members. Recently, when the fate of the League of Nations was dubious, the local group decided to become the Carolina League for International Cooperation. At nresent this leaerue is making a study of international conditions and planning world-wide peace organizations. The btouu still is convinced of the Dowers that the League of Nations might have in a revised form. Plans are being laid for a Southeastern Inter national Relations conference to be held at Chanel Hill next month. If the project is successful conferences will become a bi-annual affair, to be held on alternate years with the Human Relations Institute conference. Officers of the organization are: president, Henry Nigrelli; vice-president, Anne Perry; seeretary-treasurer, Mary McKee; scribe, John Thibaut. Speaking of the League and of its aims President Nigrelli declared: "Our purpose is to educate ourselves and others into realizing a logical and con structive approach to the establishment of international peace and security. We believe that this approach lies in international cooperation through an international order, and are doing our best to establish a headquarters which will facilitate these ideals." Adolph Hitler, conqueror of Austria, . strod forth on the eve of the country's plebesite, in or der to verbally decorate himself with the "laurel of victory." The plebesite was for the purpose of presenting the Austrians with the choice of either- voting in favor of a union with uermany or & German unionit was all to be very democratic, according to "Hoyle." Thousands of gaping, bewildered people assem bled to hear the prodigal son speak. Hitler delivered one of those "extra special" fiery speeches. He told the people that his return to his native Austria was by the will of God; Hit ler and God in the same breath. He concluded his speech by saying, "I stand be fore you because I am convinced that I know more than Herr Schushnigg (deposed Austrian Chan cellor Kurt Schushnigg) I have proved that I am more capable than all those who attempted to rule you. I doubt whether history will remember their names a century hence, but my name will stand as that of a great son of this country. "And all Germans must vote to-morrow for Ger many must be strong and united, a country of social justice, proud and happy. I am convinced that it will stand for centuries. To-morrow all of you must bear witness that you share my pride in the creation of a new Germany." The speech was ended and all the bells tolled. A' song came from the lips of the spectators. It was the Netherlands "Thanksgiving hymn," which ends, "Lord make us free!" Advertisement the thought The advertisement of the World Peaceways dis plays a picture of a cherubic infant lying a tutcher's block, , underneath there is the caption, Nice fresh babies ... 79 cents a pound!" Below the picture it goes on to say, "So breed for Moth ers, breed for Hie glory of your heroic leaders. Take good care of that cuddley baby, Mother, so he'll grow up big and strong and the butchers will be pleased with him. And be thankful, Mother, for your great privilege of producing a son whose destiny it is to be blown to hell !"

He was ad vised to study for opera under Had ley Outland, one of Chicago s out standing voice teachers. Several years later Cordon made his debut with the Chicago Grand Opera. He was hailed as a singer of promise. Today he is considered one of the most versatile and frequently called Upon singers at the Metropoli tan, singing an average of four per formances a week during the entire season. On " Radio On the radio he has been starred on such hours as the Lucky Strike, Magic Key of RCA, Chase and San born, and Kraft Music Hall, and the Shell Chateau. Cordon's classmate, Hal Kemp, has risen to the top in the field of jazz just as Cordon has in "serious music. Their friendship still contin ues and they often reminisce about the days when Cordon hopefully toot ed his saxophone on Kemp's doorstep Man O' War, considered the great est horse who ever lived, did not run in the Kentucky Derby when he was a three-year-old. THE 1:30 CLASS By, Bob Perkins I Around The World With E. C. Smith By Adrian Spies (Newest guest columnist) Chinese history as conceived of by Sam Gold- wyn and Kobert Sherwood comes to the Caro lina Theatre today and tomorrow with Gary Cooper's new starring vehicle, "Marco Polo." The last of Producer Goldwyns yearly film program (others including "Stella Dallas," "Dead End," "Hurricane," and "Goldwyn Follies") is a lavish combination of dubious history, big names, and melodrama. China Marco Polo is supposed to have been the first white man to make a written record of travels in the Orient. But Director Archie Mayo's Polo is a rather overwhelming combination of traveller, lover and liar. Gary Cooper, mainly by playing Gary Cooper, goes through this succession of char acterizations beneath a background of intrigue,. Chinese warfare, and general assault and battery. Norway-Brooklyn One of the most publicised films of the current season, it is worth seeing for the color and re ported glamor and for the lovely importation, Sigrid Gurie. Miss Gurie, whom STAGE calls "Beautiful enough to start a civil war in any coun try" is that lovely lady heralded as Samuel Gold wyn's discovery from "Norway." Some smart scribe exploded the story by proving that she was born in the comparatively American streets of Brooklyn. In all fairness to Miss Gurie it should be noted that although born in Brooklyn, she was taken to Norway when only six weeks old. Reports from the various reviews differ as to the worth of the production, but almost all are in accord as to the fine acting of the supporting cast. But any picture combining such proven per formers as Basil Rathbone a villian again, Er nest Truex, Binnie Barnes, H. B. Warner, George Barbier, and Alan Hale must have something on the ball.
