He wouldn’t have admitted it to Cum- mings, but he was beginning to wonder if the whiskey hadn’t been a mistake. “The wheel one. He caught on.” Win winked. “Fool woman, tries to make a show out of me. Guess I made a show out of her!” Asey let out a roar of laughter that brought Cummings and Lane rushing to the door. “Go off,” he said. “Go ’way. Win —you mean that you gave the fer- tis wheel feller ten bucks to keep the wheel stuck? So Bessie Brin- ley would—” “That's her. Fool. Pokey. Nosey. Did | ever ask her for anythin’? No. Why sh’d 1 make a show for her? An’,” Win smiled broadly, “she don’t know "twas me that done it, neither! I showed her up!” Asey laughed until the tears ran | down his cheeks. At last he went to the door and called Hamilton. “Ham.” he said, “drive Win over to my cousin Syl Mayo, will you? Take him right over, an’ tell Sy] to take him.over to my gunnin’ shack, an’ provide him with enough to drink so as he won't have to rust his innards with no | water.” ‘As Sane As Anyone’ ‘V HAT’S that?” Lane said. “You | —but he's the one!

The old fool’s crazy. He's a maniac. Stark rav- ing crazy.” “On the contrariwise,” Ase; said, “Win is as sane as anyone know. an’ he’s one feller that'll stand just so much henpeckin’ an’ no more. Lane, did Kay tell you for certain that he was the one? ae She see him plain? Can she tell “Well, no. She didn’t say it was him exactly, but she agreed with us that it must have been, after we talked it over with her.” “Uh-huh, I see. Is she back at Sara’s?” “Went back with—who’s that, Konrad?” Konrad ushered in Jeff Leach and Weston, both worried and dis- traught and very much the worse for wear. Jeff's white flannel suit was solidly caked with mud, and Weston was wet and bedraggled. “We thought—oh, you've got him! Well, thank heaven,” Weston said wearily. “Come on, Win. and—” “Did 1 ask you for anvthin’? | myself off—” “Sit down,” Asey said as Win got up from the couch. “You, too, Weston. What happened to you?” “Oh, we ‘chased someone we thought was Wig,” Jeff said, “in the meadows over by the Mill Road. Wes landed in the creek. and I hit a mud hole. It seems we were j chasing a perfectly good tourist. | We don’t think he recognized us And what Sara’l! say to my clothes, I hate to think.” “Look here, Asey,” Weston said, “what's all this? What's the mat- ter with Win?” “Win's been honorably wounded in the service of the town,” Asey said, “an’ ne’s herewith bein’ ex- cused from any more paradin’ whatsoever.” “That's right,” Win said com- placently. “Won't go back.” “But he’s got to!” Weston said. “Don’t you see, tomorrow he’s on | the radio program! It’s town day. land he’s going to read a piece about the town when he was a boy. He's the oldest inhabitant, you know. And—" “Won't.” Win said. “See here, Win Billings,” Weston lost his temper, “we have this set- tled, and you—”" “No,” Asey said. “Nope, Weston. Win is through.” “Well then.” Weston-said, pro- ducing a trump, “if he doesn’t go on the radio, you'll have to!” Asey drew a deen breath. “Oh— oh, well. All right.

Since it is extreme- ly doubtful whether or not this | ‘particular “drama” will be pre- | sented by any Flordia unit of the! Federal Theatre (in spite of the} fact that it is supposed to be a typical Florida story), I believe it | would interest many Floridians, | as it did me, and the Floridian | who was good enough to send me the clippings, if the reactions of! the reviewers were presented here. | ‘Lae so-called “drama”, it seems, ‘was writteri by Theodore Pratt, ! and is directed by Vietor Suther- | Jand and presented nightly at the | Great Northern Federal Theatre| as a WPA production and adver- tised in the paid theatrical col- | umns of Milwaukee papers as Big Blow—Drama of the Hurri-! Cecil Smith of Milwaukee, who reviews the production, describes lit as follows: | “Florida ‘Crackers’ and ‘Furrin- | ‘ers’ from Nebraska, fly at each ,other’s throats for five scenes of ‘Big Blow’ and in the last scene are nearly reconciled by being immured within the walls of a single log cabin during a: death- dealing hurricane. “Theodore Pratt’s local color tory is big with potential dra- matic material: the mistrust of! the natives toward intruders from the north, the bitter antagonism of races when a loyal negro is forced to lay hands on ‘a’ white man to save the heroine’s virtue, the screaming ecstasy of & ‘Holy | Roller’ meeting, the irresponsible wrath of nature when a hurricane sets in, “Except for the crotchety, wind- bitten aunt of the Nebraska hero, ,Played by Dorothea Bates, there is not a real character in the play.’ The Floridians are COMPLETE LOWLIVES, incapable of a neigh- ‘borly gesture, or a Christian at- ead until the hurricane catches them in the midst of their revival | meeting, blows all the starch out jof them and leaves them ready | for a saccharine final curtain”. I imagine some of our Florida |“Crackers” might get a thrill at ‘being pictured as ignorant, brut- al, intolerant natives, crouching to spring at the throat of visitors from other states. They surely would applaud to the echo of that touching scene where the “loyal” negro saves the fair white woman from the evil clutches of a white “Cracker” rapist. Of course our senators and con- gressmen are too busy to give ei- ther time or thought to the ac- tivities of such immaterial and | trifling units as Federal Theatres. , 1 doubt ‘sériously whether any of | | them have ever taken the trouble to visit one. But I wish Senator | Pepper, who favors the “arts”, | | would see if he can’t arange to have “Big Blow” produced by | Florida units, so the “homefolks” can see firsthand what a kind) and benevolent government is} doing for us. Just why Florida should be, singled out by the WPA Federal | Theatre to be presented at gov- ernnient expense as “a horrible! example” I don’t know—and may- be it’s none of my business. But it seems to me as we get enough adverse publicity through REGU- LAR channels without bein’ call- ed on to accept the title of “LOW- LIFERS”—even though the cause is termed a “great humanitarian effort”. I have no quarrel with the WPA. I've defended it on occa- sions, and gladly recognize its constructive accomplishments. I reeently granted goverhment of- ficials permission to ..quote ..and widely distribute a cohimn prais- ing the, WPA for its contribution to the nation in roads, public) buildings, farmers’ markets, and | other worthwhile improvements. But if there is anything help- ful or constructive in the produc- tion. of such so-called “drama” as “Big Blow” and other “tripe” that seems to be tvpical of the WPA-Federal Theatre effort, I'm either too dumb or unsympathetic to appreciate or understand it.
