Reed invaded the Calumet Industrial district, Indiana Republican stronghold, last night and unleashed two hours and thirty minutes of orn- tory assailing Herbert Hoover and pleading for religious tolerance, Senator Reed used as pari of his challenge of Hoover's qualifications for the presidency gqnotations he attributed to Republican leaders, among them the vice presidential nominee, Who, Reed said, had described Hoover as “utterly unfit to hold office” last June at the Republican convention. He said if Hoover was not a British subject he “was so near to one they had to get a certificate to show that he wasn't.” Senator Reed charged that Hoover “waited until he was 46 years old to cast his first ballot as an American citizen, after spending 23 years abroad,” and he spoke of the Republican nomi- nee as “a British Liberal, who changed to an American Democrat after re~ turning from abroad, only to become later a Republican and his party’s choice for President.” The Missouri Senator repeated charges that Hoover had fixed the price of wheat during the war and sought to hold it down, “making the farmer buy his goods at war level prices with- out being permitted to sell at var level prices.” The Senator appealed for 1eligicus tolerance, citing the part Cat..olics, Jews THE EVENING and Protestants hlve played in the building of the Nation and declaring he “couldn’t see hnw any . sane man could be afraid of the Pope.” _——— AMUSEMENTS POLI'S—Ethel Barrymore. Standing securely in a position of pre-eminence among English-speaking actresses, Ethel Barrymore meets one of the severest tests the theater has to offer; the personal and sole responsi- bility for the favor in which a play is to be held. It was in .this city that Ethel Barrymore made her stage debut in a pictuorial fragment by Clyde Fitch. 1t is a far cry from "Cap in Jinks” to “The Kingdom of God.” This play is different indeed from Ebsmith or Midchannel, which made the recent “Constant Wife,” defiant as it was of usual assumptions of moral restraint, appear innocent in com- parison, “The Kingdom of God” is in its orig- inal purport a work of the highest idealism; and the actress gives it so much of emotlonal fervor as to breathe an intent to consecrate great talent to the best that is in the theater. It is to Ethel Barrymore, single-hand- ed, that the play owes its appeal, What- ever may have been the poetic con- sistency of the Spanish. original by Martinez Sierre, the English adaptation affords little assistance to her vital and sympathetic characterization. A speech becomes a discourse and the response even when uttered by a minor role makes a palpable struggle to expand it~ self into a harangue. It remains for Sister Gracia to bring a beautiful idea into flower amid a wilderness of words. ‘The normal reason for Sister Gracia's renunciation of girlhood joy and wom- an’s happiness, in order to care for the poor and the unfortunate, is not studiously explained. Yet the urge to self-sacrifice once announced is re- morselessly maintained. There is a glow of romance in the scene between the physician and the woman who loyes humanity far more than herself; a fleeting, colorful glow; STAR, the twilight of a life devoted to the children—children fn the arms of mothers children who go on through the passing years, still chil- dren. Fleeting as it is, the love scene is the great moment of the drama. Told with poetic fluency this would be a strange story of a love that defeats itself and asks no gratitude from the hapless ones who are aided by the re- nunciation, even against their will. The contribuf characters suffer from th2 coldness of phrase. The central role brings depth of emotion, even unto tears, to render one figure in a diffuse picture outstanding and truly sublime. There are many admirable delinea- tions; none sufficlently assertive to share for a moment equal interest with the devotee to love of humble humanity. In commercial circles, references are made to & “one-man job.” This is to be about a one-woman job. One of the fascinations of this pres- entation lies in the fact that it is un- compromisingly unmercenary. A scene that might easily be assembled with old material inexpensively acquired is set up in massive beauty with greclsc ap- plication to the present themes. cast. many of whose members dlsnn- pear from act to act becomes impres- sive in numbers though not always in individual expression. Sincerity pro- claims itself when so elaborate a mech- anism is created for the development of so delicate a theme. The audience last night was typically an Ethel Barrymore public. A bene- fit for George Washington University beheld the boxes decorated with Gree: letter banners and combined a local sentiment in the salutations for the star in affectionate acclaim. PHILANDER JOHNSON. NATIONAL THEATER—“Dracula.” It you want to enjoy one of the out- standing “thrillers” of the season, see - la” at the National Theater. But be forewarned and leave your home well lighted when you start for the theater. He would be a hardy soul, indeed, who would enter a darkened house after an evenlnT spent amidst the awesome and thrilling scenes of this chapter from the superstitions of a bygone day. The story WASHINGTON, and involves ths gruesome “Greater musical range and finer fidelity of “tone than ever before achieved in radio” y'\ll\‘!""'lv' B, O activities of a vampire who sometimes takes the form of a were-wolf, some- times & huge bat, and mmmmu—-bul that would be giving the mystery away. All that good old “hokum,” such as the baying of dogs as they get the scent of the were-wolf, the terrifying howl of a maniac, suddenly extinguished lights, siiding panels in walls and the shrill shrieks of the vampire's victims, 1is brought into play with such a nerve- wracking effect thmt "often times a scream on the stage seemed to find its echo in the audience. “Dracula” is melodrama at its high- est but without the cheap heroics that make much of melodrama ridiculous. The superstition that lies more or less dormant in most of us is singled out and played upon until it is almost impos- siple to_believe that vampires do mot exist, Three characters stand out— Prof. Van Helsing, played by Edward Van_Sloan; Count Dracula, portrayed by Robert Huntley, and Renfield, the maniac, played - by Bernard Jukes. These three dominated the play and their roles seemed really to live. It is Van Helsing to whom not only the cast but even the audience seems to turn for a riddance of the horror that stalks by night, sinking its fangs into the neck of its victim, drawing forth its life blood and turning a normal human into a creature of loathsome activities. To disclose the identity of ‘the vam- pire would be unfair to those who are to see the play. Suffice it to say that cven when the vampire is revealed, the play carries on through two more acts with unabated interest, ending in a final scene that led one auditor to ex- claim: “Let’s go out and find a nice, clean murder and get this off our mirds.” Margot Lester, who phrred Lucy Seward, victim of the vampire at the time of the story and daughter of Dr. Seward, at whose sanitarium the action takes plnce ‘was most convineing, and her dramatic work was excellent. Oth- ers in the cast included Theda Fyler as the maid, Terrence Neill as Jonathan Harker, Herbert Bunston as Dr. Sew- ard, Carl Reed as Butterworth and Julio Brown as Wells.
