Stimulated prospects produced their dimes, encountered a dull but comprehensive survey of theatre censorship in Manhattan-which genteelly referred to the three recently attacked plays but did not mention them by name.* The article made such conclusions as: "It is possible that both sides were right. . . . Perhaps, after all, New York does not care particularly what happens." And then the nice old ladies and other dime spenders read an editorial entitled, "Part Men, Part Goats," by Barton Wood Currie, who came from the New York Evening World to the Country Gentleman and from there in 1920 to edit the Ladies...

It was he who was instrumental in driving the Turks from Damascus with a Pan-Arab army, in the name of King Hussein of the Hejaz and Arabia, a few hours before Field Marshal Allenby's columns arrived to make the victory secure. It was Colonel Lawrence who represented the Pan-Arabs at the Peace Conference, protesting vainly when France received her Syrian mandate. And finally it is Colonel Lawrence who, today, sees his good friend Emir Feisal? now King of Irak...
