Holmes Talks
AtNotionoI

The American visitor to France
has every reason to know Nor
mandy or Brittany better than
any other part of that delectable
country, since his liner is almost
certain to dock at lie Havre or to
drop him aboard a tender at Cher
bourg; and indeed, probably Nor
mandy and Brittany are better
known than most parts of France.
at least in a casual fashion. But
the lure of Paris, the interest in
the battlefield country and the
charm Of the Riviera tend to draw
the American tourist away from
these sections of France, and they
are well worth knowing thor
oughly.
To enable his Washington
patrons to know Normandy and
Brittany with reasonable thor
oughness Burton Holmes, famed
travel lecturer, devoted his talk at
the National Theater yesterday to
these domains along the Channel
coast. Aboard the giant Norman
die" Mr.. Holmes took his hearers
to the great port Of LIE Havre,
where the average traveller en-
trains for Paris, catching a fleet
ing glimpse Of old Rouen and
other charming Norman cities and
towns on the way.
But Mr.. Holmes revealed that
Rouen deserves more than a
glance from the car window. He
showed scenes Of the great Gothic
Cathedral and the memorable
square where Joan Of Arc went
to death and Sainthood. Near
Rouen, too, are the famous ruins
of Jurpiege, which Mr.. Holmes
described verbally and pictorially,
and the marvellous cloiSterS Of
Saint Wandrille.
Americans know the career and
fame of ste. Therese, the Little

ter.
There viii be additional con-
tests Thursday and Saturday
nightE this week, and on Feb
ruary II and 13 likewise, with the
finals on Saturday night, Febru-
ary Is.
The first play was Eugene
ONeill's Where the Cross is
Made" and an excellent !mpres-
sion indeed was made by the play
ers Of the Jewish Community
group directed by Sidney Gottlieb.
Outstanding in Characterization
perhaps was Irwin Wolloch. as Nat
Bartlett, son Of old Cap'n Isaiah
Bartlett, played by Samuel Light
man, and Sue Bartlett played by
Ethel Gottlieb. Milton o. Hirsh-
field likewise did a good job with
DR.. Higgins; and the three ghosts,
Silas Horne, Gates and Jimmy
Kanaka,:. were in good hands,
played by Larry Levin, David Wal
lace and Sidney Levy. The setting
and lighting effects were note
worthy.
Juliet and Romeo" a play
within a play, was well given
by the TheSpian Society Of Gov
enantrFirst Presbyterian Church,
under the direction Of Mrs.
William H. Wagner, and not
only did the two leading players
Vernye Barrett as Juliet, and Isaac
Avery as Romeo, acquit them
selves with credit. but the re-
naming members Of the cast.
headed by Richard Thorn as Friar
Lawrence, and including Emily
Davis as Mrs. Kane, a dresser, ana
Leo QuackenbuSh as an old man
were equally successful.
The third play was Francois
Coppee's "The Violin Maker OF
-Cremona" as presented by the
Takoma Park Little Theater. d1-
rected by Hugh NJ. Smythe, VINO
likewise played the leading role Of
Filippo, apprentice to the old mas.
ter: Taddeo Ferrari, played well
BY Will n. Carleton. The daugn-
ter Giannina, played by Marie sta
ples, and her lover, the other ap-
prentice, Sandro, played by Fred
B. Linton, jr., gave excellent sup
port to the hero of the piece
whose love and sacrifice were very
real in Mr. -Smythe's hands Two.
pages were played by Frances
Smythe and Margaret Collision.
The only very gay piece on
the bill was The Four Flush
ers." the offering of the troup-
ers of East Washington Com
munity Center directed by Arthur
Rhodes, who also appeared in
the important role Of Fuller, the
butler, to the complete satisfac-
tion Of the audience. Dixie
Diket as Henry Cunningham, the
husband Of Muriel, played by
Viola Trilling. and Albert Muehl-
haus as Vincent Dulaney, the
would-be lover, both Of them ex-
pert four-flushers- outwitted
by the butler, who suddenly finds
himself face to face with an
other four-flusher. his former
wife, and the mother of his
daughter Muriel. The role Of
the mother, programmed as the
unexpected guest, was well played
by Toby Flax. Cleves Kinkead
has written a fastmoving and
amusing farce which was well
staged by the TrouperS.
