Political Comment

As the Eightieth Congress, described by many newsmen and radio commentators as the worst in the history of the nation, came to a desultory end, the G.O.P. battlecry of 1946 "Had enough?" was . most appropriate. It is agreed by political observers that seldom, if ever, did a Congress do so much for. so few. Special privilege dominated every action of the itepublcian majority and, as one Washington writer puts it, "the elders of the National Association of Manufacturers have not had so much fun since they were kids." - In the closing days and hours, social legislation was (buried without mourning. There was no time for public housing, expanded medical care, increase of educational facilities, a boost in minimum wages or many other measures for the benefit of the

In the ' Broadway showshopS)--r-

as in the major grid battles, replacements are called from the sidelines to take the places of weary and game-battered players. Scores of second-stringers and young hopefuls often get their big chance during those summer months when the weather man turns on the heat and the theatre man turns on the cooling system. Worried producers are haunted bv this recurrent re-

frain: "Don't look now, but your audience Is slipping. . "The great and the ingrate suffer alike. Even as this is written, a mere 18 plays and music shows decorate the Main Stem, and the wisenheimers will bel that not more ttfcn eight or these will still be alive by the end of August. It is small wonder, then, that such an astute showman as Brock Pemberton has bobbed up with the big surprise replacement of the year. Quite well aware that the Ail-American star, James Stewart, after a 12year absence from the stage, was itching to get back into the Broadway show game, Pemberton called upon Jimmy to kick a few box-office goals. That's exactly what Jimmy is doing these days, as he takes over lor Frank Fay as "Elwood Dowd" in that dipsomaniacal goldmine, "Harvey," which for several years has been challenging the long-run records. " 'i For those millions of fans who

have followed Jimmy through his movie career and his wartime exploits, let, us report that their Pennsylvania idol arrived in these parts some weeks ago, with a script in one hand and some definite opinions on national issues in the other. Scheduled to go into rehearsal at any moment, young Mr. Stewart was Inclined to rush down to Washington to do something about the Army-Navy unification plan'. As is the current custom when the "big plug" is on, he was hustled from one radio interview broadcast to another and, even as his air hosts tried to draw him into talking about his Broadway return, he insisted on get

ting in his two-bits worth about the merger of the armed services. Meanwhile, it had been discovered that several alterations in "Harvey" would be necessary to fit the Elwood Dowd role to Jim

my's stature. In all previous

presentations the Rabbit who js Dowel's companion when he is in his cups, had been a six-

footer, and towered somewhat

over others in the cast. But

She's Five Now"

JAMES STEWART. J James Stewart stands a bit better than six feet so the Rabbit was shrunk to fit new circumstances. Also the script makes Dowd a man of about 47, so some ten years had to be knocked off when the youthful Jimmy stepped in. What matters it that the assorted critics found grounds for comparing the Fay and the Stewart performance. The red carpet was out and the SRO sign was up. Rarely has there been such a first night in any summer season. From their mountain and their seashore retreats, vacationing first nighters and notables of stage, radio and screen came panting and sweating into

town. . Considering tne temperature, this was no ordinary trib

ute. And considering all the elements. tovolved, Jimmy got away to a good start.

What they saw was a lanky,

good-natured young actor whose honesty is certain to win affection of audiences. In those moments when more serious tones

are turned on, James Stewart finds the going right up his alley. And, before his engagement ends, it is quite likely that he will "play down" the role a bit more.

P. S. Jimmy Stewart is scheduled to take Jimmy Doolittle's place as president of the Air Force Association when it meets in Columbus, Ohio. - .. Finally let's toss a fe,w bouquets to those top-line stars who go on trouping through humidity and zero weather alike. In particular, we bow to Ethel Merman, Helen Hayes, Eert Lahr and Bobby Clark. Miss Hayes has a lovely home up Nyack way and, with her husband, Charles MacArthur, she could be taking it easy. So could Miss Merman. But the audiences go ' to see them. They know it, and respect it.
