pears as Johann STRAUSS, jr.; Lee
Whitney, as Resi-, his sweetheart. and
Charles Romano, Vivian Fay, Solly

book is by Moss Hart; Albertina Rasch

September. For more than six weeks

The first phase of his preparatory
campaign was, as customary, pri-

filled them in step by step. Mastery

alongside the grim rookery Of Dead
End. Among the occupants OF this
mansion is Philip Griswald, I'd, a poor
little rich boy, surrounded by all
the enervating luxuries OF wealth.
Inclined to be trif1e SNUG and self
satisfied by his sheltered life and the
attention of a retinue of menials, he
is not being prepared to face bruising
adversely when and if it comes. His
ruffian neighbors, Tommy and tn:
band, lure him away from his gate.
beat him up, steal his wrist watch
and chase him, whimpering, home.
His father, a hidebound Tory,
Is not the type of parent that Is use
full to son at a time when dark
vicissitude threatens the overpriv-
ileged. 1t is Griswold pere who, deaf
to the pitiful entreaties of Tommy's
radical sister, orders the police to
put him in Jail. Perhaps it is pos
sible that Tommy liberated by an
understanding Judge, will grow up to
be a Judge himself. or politician.
while Philip. handicapped by circum-
stance and heritage, will be helpless
pauper on the dole, or a mere para
site of no value to his fellow men.
I am sorry for the junior Griswald,
even if Mr.. Kingsley isn't.
MR.. GEDDES, producer Of Dead
End" has designed some i'm.
pressive architecture for the scene
a towering hutch for the impov.
erished, adjoining an elegant castle
for the affluent-both overlooking a
squalid. bind alley. 1t gives as good
an imitation of outdoors as can be
given by what Mr. Lee Simonson calls
"the sham of paint, glue, wood and
canvas" and only the captious thea
tergoer will find fault with 1t.

out in the overwhelming numbers
which it deserved. To be sure. GER
tain scenes were tinkered with during
its stay here. But it is fact that 1t
had one of the neatest openings Wash
ington has ever seen-the first night S
recitations being as smooth as if these
eloquent players had been hashing
them over for weeks on the open road.
Mr. Gordon is. however, so pleased
with Washington's possibilities as a
show town that it is said he will open
all his plays down here from now on.
This doesn't mean that he will come
again because he received praise. Far
from it. Last season, when his
"Gather Ye Rosebuds" died the death
of a dog, his tears were not on &C
count of lack of enthusiasm, but be-
cause of the play-he realizing that
here, alas, he had gone slightly ga-ga.
So, in the words of Hollywood, "he can
take it." He wants to know when a
play is bad-as well as when it's good
and he mourns only when he is told
that he has erred.
In Pride and Prejudice" he has
made the mind triumph over matter.
The scenes are not the violent scenes
that usually are favored in the thea
ter. His actors are not those who
have been blistered with fame all over
the empire. Each of them is shrewd
workmanlike player. Each of them
deserves all the laurel that has come
his way. But none has taken Holly
wood by storm-a mark which in this
day and age is perhaps unfortunately
the highest mark.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Gordon and his
company have turned out one of the
incest entertainments the theater has
seen-an evening of quiet and anus
ing banter over quiet and amusing
situation which an Odets or Coward
or Lillian Hellman might throw out
of doors. It succeeds, however, in cap
turing mood which the theater has
long overlooked-a mood which may
very possibly help to stem the tide Of
theater sensationalism. Certainly such
attractive actresses as Adrianne Allen
and Lucille Watson have never ap-
peared in more attractive fare.

Mr.. EARL K1LL1AN has been
AA good enough to leave a copy OF
the new Dramatic Review on this
desk 1t is a small blue book contain-
ing % pages and further described on
the cover as "a monthly magazine in
the interest of amateur dramatics.'
This is such good idea and such a
good start that we wonder why sucn
a scheme was never launched before
In its neatly printed pages one dis
covers such interesting contributors as
Eleanore Wilson and Anton Hardt and
reviews of the most recent plays and
smaller items about local players con-
stitute its bulk.
Since Washington is blessed with a
great number of excellent players who
obviously do not win their share OF
publicized applause. this kind of maga-
zine is something that should stir
thespians on to even greater things.
So far this season the Drama Guild,
the Columbia Players, the Pierce Hall
Players. the Arts Club. the Montgom-
cry Players and others have demon
Strated that the season Is ripe with
talent and that audiences have been
large enough to warrant not only an
acting public but reading public as
we'll.
Then, too, such items as There Is
some sort of rumor that Isham Keith.
jr., is entertaining at the Barbizoll-
Plaze in New York" makes very good
reading for those who have been won-
dering just what Mr.. Keith has been
up to.
Just one suggestion. A casual Pc
rusal of the reviews brings out the
fact that each one starts out with
an item as follows (picking at ran
DOM: Each character was so Well
played that it is very difficult to sill
gle out any particular person for spc-
cial mention delightful presen-
tation of an uproarious domestic COM
edy presented so-and-so with
consummate skill extraordinarily
well done and the audience was rolling
with mirth from start to finish -
gave splendid performance ="
etc.
After digesting all these it would
seem that the amateur season in town
has been something that a Cornell,
a LeGallienne. nay a Bernhardt,
might envy. Is this true? Or is it
wise to make people believe that it
is true? Would it be unkind to sug-
geSt that it might be advisable to
sort the wheat from the chaff-that
local players don't like to be told,
but just like professionals. expect to
be told when they are at fault? Would
1t be wrong to say that Auntie B was
atrocious in role in which unques-
tionably was atrocious?
Ask Auntie B. She might get mad
for the moment. But in her next
performance watch her smooth out
those wrinkles-watch her blossom
and sprout like fruit tree!
This is only a minor suggestion,
because the magazine as a whole is
darn good.

whether, in his belief. Tommy will
profit or lose by his experience with the
forces of law and order His implica-
ton, however, is that If he is sent to
a reform school he will spring there
from at the end of his term, full
panoplied for a career of crime. Pro-
pinquity to other bantling rogues and
the stupidity of political penologists
will, Mr. Kingsley surmises, amplify
his erring instincts and arouse am
bitions to be an enemy OF the people.
He also hints that if justice is tenn
pered with common sense Tommy Will
be released with scolding and givea
a chance to become useful citizen
For he Is a bright, self-reliant, mag
netic imp, winning high grades at
school, whenever he attends it, and he
is the leader Of his gang of little
hoodlums.
TO EMPHASIZE his warning and to
make Dead End" q good show
as we'll as a good drama. Mr.. Kings
ley borrows a character from the
front pages. This is "Babyface" Mar
tin, whose prowess as bandit and
assassin has added a ruddy luster to
the current chronicles of sin. Baby
face, too, is product of the river
front. contaminated in his adolescence
by evil environment and evil compan-
ions. A cruel and ruthless braggart,
he yet loves his old mother enough
to defy the price that is on his head
and to try to visit her in the shadows
of an East Side dead end. While you
and he watch Tommy and his hell
born fraternity at their noiSome
pranks you can imagine that his gene
sis was in that dead end and that the
youngsters will probably follow in his
path. 1t is his terminus, also. for
he is turned up" by cripple whom
he has flouted. and he dies with his
face in the gutter and his carcass full
of bullet holes, an example of the
bent twig that becomes crooked tree.
A. T THIS point of Dead End" you
will perceive a difficult achieve
ment in playwriting. With the shoot
ing over, "Babyface" gone to the
! morgue. and another act to be played.
you fear that your interest will wane in
the fiat processes of anticlimax. But
Mr. Kingsley, almost without your
knowing it, subtly has established
concern for the fate of Tommy, and
as that character carries the drama
on you find that you do not miss
the absent desperate. Besides. it is
Mr. Kingsleys plan to captivate you
with street scenes so literal, so ap-
parently genuine in their pretendings,
that you are fascinated by the belief
that you are spectator at real events.
A group of boy-actors contributes to
this illusion by characterizations un-
canny in their mimicry, playing as
they do with utter disregard of the
audience and without the least sug-
gestion TO self consciousness. Even
when they dive into Mr.. Geddes'
empty Hudson-an imaginary aque-
duct between the footlights and the
orchestra pit-you feel that, after all,
there may be water in it.
IN THE concentration of his SYM
pathies on the infant Americans
exposed to the corruption of New
York slum Mr.. Kingsley seems to
neglect another child unfortunate
who is in his play. Believing with
Clayton Hamilton that contrast
is as necessary to drama as Brune-
there's conflict" or William Archer's
crisis" he causes Mr.. Geddes to
build a palatial apartment house
