Guild Makes
FineCOnnedV
In Shaw Play
Season Opened With
Feast of Satirical
Fun Poking.

THE Drama Guild last night, at
Wardman Park Theater, opened
its season with a brightly mounted
production of George Bernard Shaw s
gentle satire, You Never Can Tell. -
providing its audience with as happy
an evening as the guild has provided
in long time.
Denis E. Connell has been supplied
with a group of smooth and finished
performers and he has directed them
into a fine frenzy of good humor so
that both players and onlookers have
a rollicking, good time as the sly
G. B. S. wit is looSed on the twentieth
century woman of 1896.
The players don't concern them
selves particularly, however. with the
more subtle implications of fun-poking
at early ideas of feminine independ-
ence. being content to let the Shavian
shafts take care Of themselves (Which,
of course, they do in fine fashion,
and striving merely TO present the
comedy Of the piece as happily as
possible. This they do from the mo-
ment Mr.. Valentine, the "5-shilling
dentist" does his first Ivory snatch
ing" and gets mixed up in the affairs
of the Clandons until he wins Gloria
Clandon and sits alone while every
one deserts him to dance.
Maud Howell Smith probably leads
the splendid cast with her fine work
as Mrs. Clandon, the battler for
women's independence. upon whom
Mr.. Shaw piles his satirical thrusts.
but she is surrounded by cast which
makes her work hard for any first
honors she retains.
Eugene KreSsin, seen locally for the
first time without his villainous ways,
is in fine fettle as Valntine. He
starts out a bit slowly, but warns to
his work as he progresses, and does a
classic job in the second act scene
where he resorts to psychology to duel
with Gloria and win.
Maurice Jarvis also is splendid as
the father from whom Mrs. Clandon
separated, knowing what he is about
md throwing himself into the role in
an authentic manner. The rest of
the cast. too, maintains the standard
of excellence.
Thomas M. Cahill, as the waiter
whose expression provides the title of
the play; Jane r. Duenner. as Gloria:
Irving M. Day, as a crochety solicitor.
and Robert Warfield as the smart
fellow who finally settles things. con-
tribute finished performances. And
Tony Hardt and Lansing Hall play a
pair of twins with couple of classic
characterizations they won't be able
to live down in weeks. They're grand.
The settings were designed by
Frances Hand and the costumes by
Dorothy Croissant. The play will be
repeated tonight at 8:45 o'clock at
the Wardman Park Theater. H. M.

Born in Poland, Roman Totenberg
began his musical studies in Warsaw
at the age of 8, and, even as child,
had great success in this field. He
was sent to the Chopin Conservatory
where he studied in 1928 under Prof
Michalowitch, pupil of Leopold Auer
who recognized his coming great
talent.
Prof Carl Flesch, for many years
the head of the violin department of
the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia,
was his next teacher in Berlin. and
under him Totenberg won the i'm

Berlin Academy. Then, after resi-

musical future was Immediately as

Totenberg is known in Europe, not
only for his fine Mozart and Brahms
interpretations, but also for his artistic
pioneering in modern music. His
famous Polish compatriot and great
friend. the composer Ezymanowski has
dedicated a violin concerto to him,
which Totenberg will play in his
American concerts.
