Toward Price Stability Tf. WAnM hf Haririo" tyiqti ihrloo wnnlH ofoo Qfo

gorically that the peak of the price rise has been reached or that prices in general are due for an immediate and substantial downturn. But the all-out inflation that some forecase when OPA vanished into the shadows has certainly not occurred and in some very important fields, including foods, a degree of price stability has been reached. The good sense of most consumers is in part responsible for this more and more of them have turned away from articles which they considered excessively priced. An increase in the supply of goods has also helped. And, finally, the attitude of retail distribution toward consumer problems lias been of immeasurable value. . .... , ' The typical retailer works on the principle that a main duty is to protect consumer purchasing power so far as he can and to sell honest merchandise at a fair price. This is true -of chains and independents, variety stores and department stores. Long before OPA, retailers voluntarily held prices down when there was ho law to prevent them from profiteering to their hearts' content. All during the war, retailers opposed hoarding and other inflationary influences. And smceithe war ended, they have led in efforts to keep prices from running wild. We are beginning to see the success of these efforts now, as more and better goods flow into the stores. No one knows what the "normal price structure" of the future will be, orwhat relation it will bear to 1941 or any other year. But we can feel confident that American productive methods, plus efficiency and competition in retailing, will give the consumer maximum protection against exploitation.

Dutch Recognized World's Greatest In Bus Catching The art of bus catching has become a popular science in Holland, according to a dispatch to the Toronto Globe and Mail from Correspondent Jim Coleman. So popular, in fact, that in Amsterdam the Hollanders have a recognized champion. And like all true champions . he's the epitome of modesty. "So you're Bas Van Pelt, eh?" the correspondent said as he interviewed' the great man in considerable awe. "Ja," said Bas Van Pelt. "I am." , "Are you the greatest?" Coleman asked. "Nein," replied Bas Van Pelt. "Dr, Van Wuow is the greatest. Come, I will introduce you to him." Coleman and Bas Van Pelt went through a long dark street to a low dark house and Bas Van Pelt knocked on the door. The door was opened by a short dark man who had the face of a scholar and a hand like an eagle's talon. "Dr. Van Wuow?" Coleman asked' respectfully. "Ja," said Dr. Van Wuow. "Bas Van Pelt says that you are the greatest," Coleman said

with a singularly oily smile. ' . "Nein," said Dr. Van Wuow, Shaking his head energetically. "I am not the greatest." "Well, who is the greatest?" the newsman asked in considerable bewilderment. . . "Come I will show you," said Dr. Van Wuow, leading his visitors into a small dark room. Dr. Van Wuow lit "a candle. "I will Show you the greatest," said the

good doctor, opening a small

dark cupboard. As he did so he

motioned to Coleman to remove

his hat.

Coleman and Van Pelt watched

tensely' as Dr. Wuow rummaged through a stack of books and

papers. Finally he came up with something in his hand. It was a Canadian newspaper. He opened the paper and pointed reverently to a picture. His meaning was obvious. "Boomstead :-s the greatest," said Dr. Van Wuow. "Dagwood Boomstead."

tion of sitting back and smiling indulgently while the faces of the legendarily astute theatrical wiseguys get redder and redder. Viraa n, for some years a showman of no nean stature, s the gent who, iv i h bulldog tenacity, refused to let go of "Street Scpne," after it had been transformed from a Db.ssie melo

drama of the New Y o r k

slums to a near-classic opera. Rarely has a producer had so mnny surface reasons for scuttling a treasure ship. The prophets of doom, gathered in Times Square, joined in mocking laughter when Wiman stubbornlyinsisted that he would bring the opera into New York come what might and in spite of its Philadelphia debacle. At that moment one backer offered ' to turn in his share for a ticket to Florida. A costly production with a heavy payroll, the operatic version of "Street Scene" opened during the Christmas holiday season in Philadelphia and Ihe "yawn brigade" wrote it. off as a bore and a flop. Scouts from Broadway sent back their reports on black bordered paper and declared that "Street Scene" was all that remained of a Christmas turkey. Shortly after New Year's exactly 20 persons bought tickets to a matinee and someone suggested that homeless vets be allowed to move into the empty house. On Broadway, the owner of the Ziegfeld Theatre refused to book the

obvious "flop" and since then has been kicking his own pants. For within twenty minutes rom the time the first night curtain rose at the Adelphi Theatre, the audience began to experience that certain thrill that SDreads over a

show house as an Important theatrical event unfolds. By morning everyone In New ' York learned from the critics that a big league hit had come to town and Producer Wiman smiled broadly and said: "I told you so."

All of which again raises a few uncomfortable questions about the theatre, one oi w h 1 c -i is whether or not there is such a thing as a "New York show"; that is, one made to order for the New York market which, for one reason or another, fails to 1 b e acclaimed elsewhere. And if ever there was a New York show, "Street Scene"

is it.

SHEILA BOND.

As one who has trailed the highways and the byways of Bagdad-by-the-Subway, our hat has long been off to Elmer Rice for lis tender, stirring and sometimes heart-breaking melodrama of Lhe Manhattan tenements. It's ott again to Kurt Weil and to Langdon Hughes, who in music and in lyric have managed to capture the anguish and the beauty; Ihe sordidness and the color; the romance and the squalor; the tiny triumphs and the tragic defeats; the street noises and the mingling of races all of the conflicting elements to be found in a dingy metropolitan side street ,' . , Somehow, the producers have managed to gather a group of little known but vastly superior singers who can portray, almost perfectly, such varied roles ".s those of a negro janitor, an Ifalian musician, a fat and gossipy woman, a Jewish philosopher, a stenographer, a jitterbug and -o on. Of these, Polyna Stoska, who portrays the mother who is doomed to be slain, proved the greatest surprisa. And there's a

youngster from Brooklyn named Sheila Bond, in a jitterbug American apache with Danny Daniels, who has created a minor sensation. It's the composer Kurt Well, however, who herewith rises o the stature of No. 1 American music maker.

In an all-out campaign to swell its ranks, the United States Coast Guard has opened recruiting of-

'fices in St. Paul, Kansas. City,

Oklahoma City, Omaha and Des Moines, to supplement recruiting offices already in operation at St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. As the Coast Guard's enlistment quota fnr 1Q47 1 hut innnn nwn nnlv

"Better marry Sidneye," Ralls told Angelique. rHROUGH her uncle, Jacques Desaix. Sidneye proposed marriage to Angelique. She withheld her answer. A lonely girl on a lonely island, she had been stirred by the dashing Ralls and he returned her interest. Ralls had, in fact, fallen in love for the first time in his rakehell life. But knowing his own dark passions too well, he held her off. He told her, "Better marry Sidneye. Someday when I've conquered myself I'll come for you." Angel ique's heart was ice the day the native's prepared to bring the chest of pearls from the cavern of the giant . octopus. Seated between Sidnaye and her unrle on the deck of The Golden Wvii, she watched the natives hind iheir cannes jjn-' a great circle on the lagoon, Ralls was anions the divers,' ' : .
