Leiber, who will bring to Washing
ton the repertory company of the Chi
cago Civic Shakespeare Society, which
has just completed its first season In
the new Civic Theater in that city,
aims to present shakespearean plays as
entertainment, as when they were writ
ten over 800 years ago. and not as edu-
cation. In fact, 1t Is Mr.. Leiber's spe-
cial accomplishment He believes that
Shakespeare wrote for the average the
alter audience looking for amusen ent,
not for one which wished 10 be bewil-

To the shrine Of clarity, then, has
Mr.. Leiber bent his group of players,
for the clarity that depends on swift
mechanical production Of scenes and
fortnight speaking Of one character to
another. The result is heralded from
Chicago that his presentation of COM
edies and tragedies are the best shows
of this theatrical year, dramas who's
emotional sequence touch deeply the
chords of modern living, comedies
whose lines aStonishingly hold their
own against 1880 repartee.
From q practical standpoint every

Excellence Maintained.

THE Theater Guild of New York may
boast In altruistic terms that 1t Is
organized for the purpose of producing
artistic plays, and that no other or
ganization ever had so many successes
to its credit, nevertheless, from it's orr
gin the Theater Guild has displayed
uncanny Judgment in its handling of
the sordid commercial side to the stage.
Ordinarily the average New York
producer would not even contemplate
keeping UP the standards Of excellence
in both the cast and the production to
play return engagements. But, an ex-
animation of the names of the players
In the company of Strange Interlude"
will disclose that it is composed Of some
OF the very best of metropolitan play
ers. Elizabeth Risdon heads the cast.
Other players nationally known are
George Gaul. Frank Conroy, Blaine
Cordner. Maud Durand, Brandon Evans,
Mary Holsman, James Todd and Lester
Sheedy.
The advance sale that "Strange In
terlude" is having at the National for
its return engagement is another proof
of the business acumen that the Theater
Guild displays in all its dealings with
the public. No number two companies

SINNERS Papa Juan" is again
a call to the faithful who worship
at the shrine of the legitimate
drama. Large audiences followed
with tense interest a character
delineation showing the fineness
OF detail that a sculptor might
delight in chiseling from marble,
and then as a reward of fervent
artistic wish, find animated with
the breath of real humanity.
Measured by the standards of
the play artisan who works for
thrills, surprises, and emotional
outbursts of love enthusiasts, for
cynical innuendo or the high pol
ish of epigram, SINNERS Papa
JUAN" you would be told, Is en-
tirely destitute of the things alb
solutely essential to the making
of a play. Yet the drama stands
forward in secure recollection as
one of the works worth while in
the records of the EngliSh-speak-
ing theater. Skinner is one of
the players who succeed in being
intensely intellectual in method
and at the same time remote
from any suspicion of desire to
coerce an audience into an atti-
tude OF mental submission in
stead Of that Of cordial and init
mate understanding.

DeKoven has passed away from
the many scenes of activity in
which he battled under a banner
of musical idealism without al
ways the support of the plain,
plodding element required for
practical success. DeKoven did
his best to be a thoroughly practi-
cal man, as well as a musical
pioneer. His activities touched
this city. It was one of his am
billions to establish a symphony
orchestra worthy of the National
Capital. He did not fully realize
it. The same impulse has reas-
serted itself from time to time
with a steadfast and consistent

renewed endeavor with more pro-
spect of tangible and enduring re-
suits than heretofore accom-
plished.
