...styling his dramatic venture an "indulgence," Mr. Bynner chose an aptly wise term, and one which gave him at the outset an abundant license to exercise his poetical imagination fancy free. Unbound by too-rigid dramatic requirements, he has created a gay satire in a distinctly individual vein, exercising an almost abandoned liberty in its construction, flaunting, if not openly violating, certain established dramatic conventions.

Last month he undertook a role apparently as strange as his others, but easily explainable. The role: aviation colyumist for the Newark Free Press. The explanation: Roger Kahn is an able flyer.
