LAYTON HAMILTON, one
time chairman of the Pulitzer

~ LAYTON HAMILTON, one
time chairman of the Pulitzer
\ prize jury for drama, wrote
~ a letter to the New York
Times last October anent Mr.. Emmett
Lavery's ''The First Legion" which
should be interesting, what with the
Blackfriars' Guild now preparing to
present the play for one week, be-
ginning Monday night.
Mr.. Hamilton starts out by saying
the drama should be kept dramatic
&nd the theater should not be en-
ployed as a platform for propaganda
or as a pulpit for special pleading.
He goes on to say lit CThe First
LegionD is absolutely free from spe-
cial pleading and contains no hint
OF propaganda, religious, ethical, or
even philosophical. Instead, it is
tense drama Of the spiritual strug-
giles of half dozen individuals who
are shrewdly representative OF hu-
manity at large, set forth with
surprising mastery of thrilling theatri-
cal effect" So now you know.
Mr.. Lavery's play about a crisis
In the lives of nine priests is to be
played by the Blackfriers' Guild as
q benefit for the Catholic Students
Mission Crusade The drama will be
presented at the St. Paul's Audi
torium every night in the week, with
matinees Saturday and Sunday, Feb
ruary and 8. Angela Keir is di-
Secting.
"Just 18 years ago, in February,
1918, the cry of 'Mutiny on the Sankt
Georg' galvanized the entire force of
5000 Austrian sailors in the Bay of
Cattaro into action" announce the
Columbia Players, now rehearsing
THE Sailors of Cattaro," for presenta-
ton February 10 and 20. The play,
they say, is based on a mutiny as
; exciting as that aboard the Bounty.
Now, any good sailor knows the chap
who wrote that movie title was wrong,
and now the Columbians are too. They
mean "'Mutiny in the Sankt Georg."
So now you know something else.
(The authority is the Era, England S
theatrical trade journal) This, how
ever, has little to do with the local
production of Sailors of Cattaro."
The main point is, the Columbia Play
ers now are extremely busy building
the necessary two-level set and learn
ing lines.
So now, and it's about time, comes
