GershWin's
Folk Opera
Next Week
Theater Guild to Pre-
sent "Porgy" at
National.

GEORGE GERsHWIN's musical
~ transcription of Heyward's Negro
folk play, "Porgy and Bess," will open
at the National Theater Monday,
March 16. for an engagement of one
week, presented by the Theater Guild.
Gershwin's musical score. which
has been highly complimented, is sung
by a Negro cast of 80. The music is
arranged on the general lines Of the
soundest operas ever conceived.
Throughout, the opera follows the
pattern of the play "Porgy." There
is the crap game with its fun and
fury; there is the Staying of Serena's
husband: there is the flight of Crown,
which leads to Porgy taking in the
homeless and friendless Bess, and
there is her gradual reformation un-
der the cripple's passionate devotion.
