the Beethoven sonata she showed

the appointment of an additional JUS

office of Justice Robb it will not be
filled.
The other bill, by Senator King of
Utah, would change the name of the

HARLEQUINS PRESENT
THE THREE WISE FOOLS
Catholic University Group Does
Well in Play by Austin
Strong.

Thoroughly enjoyed and smoothly
performed was the presentation OF
Austin Strongs Three Wise Fools"
by the Harlequins of Catholic Uni
versity last night. The comedy was
we'll done, the melodrama not in the
least overdone. Which is another
way of saying a difficult task was well
performed.
The tale Of the three muSketeerS
who find their lives in rut and the
sudden and exciting manner in which
they are lifted out, only to discover
they are much better of in their we'll
ordered grooves, offers an excellent
opportunity to the cast. They greet
the opportunity in such a manner
that it would be unfair and practi-
cally impossible to name any char
acter as portrayed better than an
other.
The three title roles, the wise old
fools, Theodore Findley, DR.. Richard
Gaunt and Judge James Trumbull,
were done by John H. Mcdonald
William j. Barron and Joseph A
Spitzig, with McDonald'S irrascible
Findley possibly standing out. How
ard J. Lynch entered with enthusiasm
into his role as Gordon Schuyler
The two feminine characterizations
Sydney Fairchild and Mrs. Sanders
were naturally difficult for male per-
formers, but they were we'll handled
by Bernard ]. Hart and Joseph r

mother and the other girl. Jill. for
the future. Jill, on a visit to him at
school. proves herself worse than any
possible hangover. Either in the
drawing of her character or in the
Interpretation Barbara Weeks gives
the part lies the great weakness of
The Wind and the Rain" As she
is seen at Edinburgh, Jill is SO fatu-
Gus, so vulgar, it is inconceivable the
sensitive Triton ever could have con-
sidered her seriously or been urged to
do so by his mother.
When the student days are ended
Triton suddenly finds he has become
too dependent on Anne to 60 on
without her, but she insists he must
go back to his life and the two wom-
en- in London. His mother is fatally
stricken shortly after he qualities for
his M. D., and in London he admits
finally 1t Is no good with Jill. Re-
turning to Edinburgh and the friend
ship of Duhamel, rather more because
he is lost than because he has good
reason to come back, Triton finds
Anne has not gone away. And there
you are.
Morgan Farley deals swift and
energetic justice to the role of Trit-
ton, and Wendy Atkins cool playing
of Anne is perfect foil for his work.
Miss Atkin comes into her own right
in the latter part of the play, with
a charming love scene or two. Bur-
ford Hampden reaches for almost too
many laughs as the irresponsible Ray
mond, but he does succeed in getting
most of them. Lillian Brennard
Tonge, except for a slight uncertainty
about her lines, handles Mrs. McFie
excellently. and Walter Holbrook
works a small part to the best ad-
vantage. The others are Marcel Jour-
net as Duhamel. Leslie Barrie as John
Williams. and Philip Tonge as a gigolo
swain of Jill's named Roger Cole.

when in that matchless second scene

he got one Of the greatest howls OF
enthusiasm the National Theater has
ever known.
With these three in the leading
roles: with Ruth Abbott playing the
Frances Fuller role most attractively,
except when she. as we'll as the others,
went astray in that very last scene;
with Raymond Bramley looking this
week like John Quincy Adams in
stead of George Washington; with
Mary Loane doing her first job this
season as that genial femme de
chambre; and with Burke Clark
behaving admirably as that most dis
agreeable of chauffeurs, it is no
wonder that the audience got great
enjoyment out of this very light
comedy about young married man
who loses his job only to find better
one-and his voice" In the bargain.
If We may suggest few correc-
tions. it is that the cast agree on
whether to say "Farr-ar" or Far

to make her entrance Gin silhouette)
10 minutes ahead of time; it is to
darken the stage when Aunt Min is
sleeping so that you don't know right

to get a brandy bottle with some

Apart from these minor discrep-
ancies, all is well and very funny

Well wager the audience Is still
laughing That is, the audience for
tunate enuogh to be present at st.
Gabriels Parish Hall last night, when
the ct. Gabriel Players presented a
combination of Ministries and a one
act comedy play, The Eligible Mr..
Bangs"
The play, written by Robert Hou-
sum and produced under the direction
of Arthur Van Heuckeroth, presents a
young actor, Joseph O'Donnell, in the
role of Mr.. Bangs. In case you are not
familiar with this Mr.. Bangs, he Is the
young man who dscribes himself as
80 susceptible to woman's charms"
and who falls in love with Lucille
Morgan, played by Miss Helen Wrinkle.
Mr.. Bangs, however, does not realize
at first he Is in love with Miss Nor
gan, and not wishing to settle down
to married life SO soon, he remains
aloof to her charms, and does not see
her for some time. The next time he
sees her it is at the apartment OF a
young married couple, Tom and Jane
Foster, played by Robert Adams and
Helen Stuart. Through a trick. Mr..
Bangs is led to believe Lucille is mar
ried and 1t is then he realizes he loves
her and wants to get married right
away. Lucille. however, discovers that
Mr. Bangs would receive some thou
sands of dollars If he'd stay single
couple of years longer, and as the
curtain goes down she is urging him
to wait until he gets the money before
they get married.
The fast, furious and very enter
| tanning minstrel show which followed
kept up the laughing pace set by
| the four actors in the play.
Outstanding among the succession
OF stunts, songs and skits was the
performance of James w. Gessford,
o. T. Veihmeyer, Richard Jones and
Edward S. White as the end men and
the singing of Frances Renstrom and
Joseph (Mr. Bangs) ODonnell. The
interl0Cut0r was Justin F. Wrinkle
who kept the humor at a high pitch

The young men are not unusual IN
their generation-a sulphurous, Jlttery
Charles Triton who has unwittingly
lost his independence by long leaning
on the affections of his mother for
support; a gay, beery Gilbert Ray

of studies he blithely disregards; suave
and defeated Paul Duhamel, spas

The fate of this quartet, their
