BROADWAY SLAPS BACK AT RURAL GRITICSJN PLAY George M. Cohan Presents ‘Home Towners’ for a / \ Long Run. By The XEA Play Jury NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—George M. Cohan, In his newest play, gives his regards to Main Street. And since Mons. Cohan is highly urban and to the Broadway manner born, these regards are none' too ira rm. The play is "The Home Towners." and represents Cohan at his most Cohanesque. Its basis is the common suspicion nnd animosity of metropolis and average town. The small town frowns upon the city slicker and the metro-, polis becomes superior to the yokel. The small towner views the metropolitan population as so many potential crooks and the metropolite looks upon the Main Streeters as victims of smuggery and hypocrisy. There is, doubtless, something to be ?aid for both sides. A son of South Bend, which becomes symbol for the “provinces,” has made a fortune in New York. He is about to marry and invites his closest friends from the old home town to attend. One Bancroft, after a few drinks, becomes suspicious that the bride and her family are typical “city slickers” trying to get his friend's cash. This precipitates a crisis. The brides family starts in pursuit of the accuser and the windup is a very_Cohanesque assault on the “small town mind.” quite ascertain tovget the crowd as did the “grand old flag” stuff of the earlier Cohan pieces. -I- •!• -IEarl Carroll’s Revue of 1326 does little to improve the standard of major league revues. The “big” producers can learn wit. taste and originality by visiting such'' smaller effort as "Americana” and the Garrick Gaities. The best of Uiem was “The Merry World,” with its collection of adroit and skillful Britishers. It perished while many tawdry things survived, and the Rhuberts will send it on the road under the title of “The Passing Rhow.” Which is Broadway's loss and the road's gain. The Carroll opus is cdstumed and presented with about the same taste the manager uses in his publicity. ■!■ -ILawrence ' Lander, who should know better since he has written good satirical stage material nnd has had long association with the Theater Guild, provides Broadway with a standardized farce, “Henry, Behave!” lie uses the old amnesia device wherein a soured and crabbed hid geezer gets tapped on the bean, loses his identity and reyerts to his levilish youth hack in the Anna Held days. Thus he tips off his past to his kin and associates and humanizes himself in their eyes. •!• -I- -f* V Meanwhile the theatrical astrologers proceed with the business of casting the stars. Jeanne Eagels, who,has given two years of her life to “Rain,” goes to a less psyeopathic comedy, “The Garden of Eden,” a part originally considered for Katherine Alexander, who shifts to Owen Davis’ “Gentle Grafters.” Pauline Lord also ends her" twoyear apearance in "They Knew "What They Wanted,” a role that sent her skyrocketing a monk the dramatic notables, and is cast for "Sandalwood,” a sardonic comedy re gadring which there has, been much advance furor. It seems that Osveti Davis dashed it off a couple of years ago, gave all the managers a chance at it and found them unfriendly to it. Thus it kicked around until Robert Milton decided he wanted it, and now finally has got It. Jane Cowl, who has been bringing the crowned heads of Europe to her feet, returns to America with a Drench play, “La Riposte.” Which reminds us that the invasion of foreign plays will be more formidable than ever. Thus far seventy-two productions, or one-fourth of the entire year's output, will he of foreign manufacture. Among these will he a new Michael Arlen; “A Cavalier of the Streets;" a Somerset-Maugham play, "The Letter," a Masefield drama, "Anne Pedersdotter,” and a Molnar, “Riviera.” HOOSIERS PICNIC Bu United Prexx TRAVERSE CITY, Mich..

FOREMEN BLAMED FOR IRON-BANDED LABOR POLICIES ‘Old Man at the Top' Is Acquitted in New Book. Waxhinuton Bureau, M 22 .Vo c York Avenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Acquit tal for old money-bags. It isn't he who demands iron-hand-ed labor policies in American factories and workshops. It's his hardboiled foremen. So says Sam A. Lewisohn, chairman of the American Management Association. And he has just published a book to prove it, "The New Leadership in Industry.” "Owners and corporation directors do not normally dominate labor poliI eies,” Lewisohn asserted. "In most j cases the issue is determined by the attitude of the factory production managers, tHe department heads and the Only occasionally is the labor policy of a corporation dominated by "The Old Man at the Top." More Prejudiced "There is usually more prejudice 'against unionism among local superintendents and foremen than in7the home office among the upper executives and directors, the 'capitalists.' "In many instances when boards of directors decide to liberalize and [modernize their labor policies they find themselves confronted with the fact that it is a real job to convert those in charge of the local plants. The lower executives bitterly resent Interference with their right to boss their own domains. Many firms have had great difficulty in getting superintendents and foremen to cooperate in shop committee plans, as [reports of the Russell Sage Foundation illustrate. Arrogant Leadership "This is to be explained by a natural arrogance of leadership and an acquired attitude caused by the old system of industrial relationships. "What is needed is a type of local management which will not require prodding from the central office, but will of its own accord adopt more enlightened policies.”
