WASHINGTON AUDITORIUM
"Twelfth Night"

Fritz Leiber and his associate play
ers who are presented by George Ford
this week in the Washington Audi
torium under the auspices of the
Shakespeare Association of America in
a repertoire of some Of the great
hards leading dramas, comedies and
tragedies, gave that delightful comedy

last night before a keenly interested
audience.
The settings for the production
were almost as simple as those of the
famous Ben Greet productions. Soft
drapes of neutral coored curtains
framed a changing back drop in center
back-stage. In the foreground only
the simplest pieces of furniture to
suggest the keynote to the appro-
pirate furnishings or garden equip

was given the sets, as i'm the huge

He landed among the hurrying
crowds that flow past Broadway and

The Woolworth Building is 792

A large crowd gathered and was

manned in the street for a long

were questioned in an effort to
identify the man.
