What he actually tells us is| what happens to these people when | an individual named Walter Gold- berg, who happens to be a strike- leader and a Jew, steps into their lives by falling in love with the starved, somewhat elderly sister, / Martha Turner. And the execution of Goldberg on a’ framed murder charge (echoes of the Sacco-Van- zetti case) is presented not as so- Gal.tragedy—the anger, the bitter- ness, the grief of the workers—but as personal tragedy, the personal} grief of Martha Turner over the loss of her lover. 4 These are the weaknesses of “Airways, Inc.” as social drama. Its strength, however, lies not in its presentation of its them. or themes (the play is rich, perhaps a little too rich in thematic material), but in the mordant accuracy of its character delineation and its satir-| ical revelation of certain aspects of | American life. All these charac- ters are real—the doting old fath-| er, brooding over his inventions, his loneliness, the disappointments of the past; the gawky, starved, semi- hysterical Cinderella of the fam- ily, Martha Turner, bewildered and abashed by the experience of yet the $30 a week clerk, Claude Tur-| ner, who outdoes any capitalist in| Baciaing cee sutcaberhon oth ae ee ie cling.

But all this is not nearly as mov- ing as it should be, What “Air- ways, Inc.,” lacks is incisiveness.
