"Porgy Bess,'
March Is

Washington is to see George
Gershwin's folk opera "Porgy and
Bess." The Theater Guild pro-
duction, which broke all existing
records for consecutive perform.
anceS for an opera in New York
this season, will open a one weeks
engagement at the National
Theater March 16. It will be the
fifth play of the Theater Guild
American Theater Society season.
"Porgy and Bess" is based on
the play "Porgy," which was pro
duced by the Guild with phenom-
email success in 1927. For it Mr..
Gershwin has fashioned a score
which critics have declared to be
an outstanding contribution to
American music. While operatic
in form, it is popular in conception
and contains such song hits as II
Got Plenty of Nothing" and ''It
Amt Necessarily So." The libretto
is by DuBoSe Hayward, author Of
the original "Porgy" and the
lyrics by Mr.. Hayward and Ira
Gershwin.
Reuben Mamoulian forsook Hol-
lywood, where he is an ace direc.
tor, to stage the production. The
cast of more than 80 includes Todd
Duncan, Anne Brown, Ruby Ely,
Warren Coleman, Buck and Bub-
bles, Abbie Mitchell, Edward Mat
