merry Andrew" Is Well
Done Picture OF Main Street

A we'll done picture of life on
Main st. is found in merry An
drew" by Lewis Beach, playing at
Henry Miller's Theatre. The Bah
bitt type of American, which has
been the topic of much discussion
since Sinclair Lewis wrote Main
Street" can be found in this play.
Andrew Aiken, owner of the larg-
est drugstore in midwest town of
100000, decides to retire when he
reaches the age of 60. Selling out
to his rival, Rufus Norcoss, he
spends all of his leisure time home,
much to the disgust of his wife and
daughters. He wants them to play
rummy all day and give him con-
slant attention. At last Andrew de-
cides that he can only be happy if
he again has his drug store back
His family reaches the same conclu-
sion without his knowledge. After
some bargaining, Andrew purchases
his old drug store and is back at
the old stand, once again dispensing
lills and hot water bags to the sick
folks of the town. Most important,
however, Andrew again had an audi
ence and people with whom to play
checkers. While in his home he
had to contend with his wife, daugh-
tiers and the servant, in the drug
store he is supreme. From his small
town point of view, Andrew is again
contented and the play comes to an
end.
Mr.. Beach has done a good piece
of work in constructing the play.
1t is a truthful picture of the or
binary small town and gives the
audience a fair view of the petty
bourgeoisie. Beach knows what he
is writing about and does it well.
Several years ago, "The Goose
Hangs High" by the same play
wright, achieved considerable sue
cess.
The cast is good. Walter Con-
molly plays the part of Andrew and
does so convincingly. The other
members of the cast are equally

HQblma Players in 'Pr1mcess
Iurund0t' at the Mansfield

Now the Habima Players as a
further evidence of their versatility
have added princess Turadot,"
which they are presenting at the
Mansfield Theatre. These players
have made of this tragedy highly
colorful and exotically picturesque
tragi-comedy which they render in a
spirited, rich, swift moving marking
and pationate spectacle.
Boris Glagolin, well-known Rus
sian director, staged princess Tur-
andot" for which Boris Anisfeld of
the Metropolitan Opera House de-
signed the settings and costumes.
Constantine Schvedoff composed
some highly colorful and modern
music ard himself conducts the SYM
phonic orchestra. The dances were
staged by Michio Ito.

0F the several artistic groups that
have come to these shores from
Soviet Russia, none has attracted
quite the same amount of favorable
attention as the Habima Players.
This troupe, which had been buff
feted about Russia, bounded in turn
by czarist spies and social revolu-
tionary what-nots finally received
due recognition at the hands of Sow
let commissars. Taken under the
protecting wing of the Moscow Art
Theatre, and subsidized by the gov
eminent, they justified their exist
ence by their artistic creations
which not alone pleased their pa
irons, the workers, but thrilled play
goers in every capitol in Europe and
repeated their triumphs when they
reached this country some two years
ago when they offered for our edi-
fication, "Dybbuk," "The Golem,"
and "Deluge."
