When the literary history of his time comes to be written, Carl Sandburg may well be esteemed the luckiest of his Midwestern generation. Vachel Lindsay and Edgar Lee Masters had as great if not greater native talent; even Ben Hecht, whose desk was next to Sandburg's on the Chicago Daily News in the early '20s, seemed a more brilliant, sophisticated writer. Of them all, Sandburg, the immigrant's son, got the surest roothold in authentic U. S. tradition, and got it perhaps by the near accident of digging for the truth about Abraham Lincoln. "That...
Life with Father (adapted from Clarence Day's work by Howard Lindsay & Russel Grouse; produced by Oscar Serlin). No easy job was it to transfer to the stage the late Clarence Day's saga of his own family during Manhattan's horsecar era. Day's own chronicle has no plot, no love interest, no mighty triumphs, no major catastrophes-only crusty, rambunctious Father, who lost almost every set-to; helpless, fluttering Mother, who won; and four redheaded boys. But Playwrights Lindsay & Grouse have turned the whole thing into a spirited, likable stage comedy. They have taken...
Father (Howard Lindsay) is a rigid reactionary who, to get his own way, turns the worst kind of anarchist.

Died. Sir Charles W. Lindsay, 83, blind Canadian philanthropist, a piano-tuner who built up a $2,000,000 musical instrument business, was knighted in 1935 for his donations and services to the blind; of paralysis; in Montreal...
Delivery-Boys. For this victory Franklin Roosevelt could thank many a man, but particularly two-Jimmy Byrnes of South Carolina in the Senate, Lindsay Carter Warren of North Carolina in the House. Powerful Mr. Warren, a bull-built, blunt, 49-year-old country lawyer with a fine stand of black hair, may one day be Speaker of the House, notwithstanding the hankering of the White House Janizariat for John W. McCormack, of Boston's famous Ward 8. Last week Lindsay Warren, working glove-smooth with Leader Sam Rayburn of Texas, Whip Paddy Boland of Scranton, Pa., delivered the South...
