NATIONAL-OtiS Skinner will

ment in "Sancho Panza," a COM
edy from the pen OF Melchoir
Iengyel. author of 1.-The Czarina."
The play is based on certain cpl
sodes in Ceramics famous work,
s4Don Quixote," and presents Mr..
Skinner as the genial squire,
Sancho, whose love of his donkey
Dapple was greater than his am
bition to govern an island. Many
of the popular characters of the
Cervantes story appear in the
Dlay. including the Don himself,
Donna Rodriguez. the Duke OF
Barataria, Altisidora, Alvino,
GraIva, the young Duchess;
Father Hyasinth, and, of course,
Sancho's beloved Dapple.
Russell Janrey, producer OF
"Sancho Panza." has provided
Mr.. Skinner with a cast includ-
ing some fifty players, singers,
and dancers. The production has
been staged by Richard Boleslaw-
sky. of the Moscow Art Theater,
and there is special music by
Hugo Felix, composer Of "Lassie,"
'.Pom POM" and "Marjolaine.

of today as she really 1s-I1ot what
many people think she is-Wno

word for saying independence.
Joan Mac1ean has this part. An
other in the cast is Louise Closer
Hale, as an elderly widow who
finds more enjoyment associating
with the middle class than she
does with the class to which she
was born.
