Charles Dickens story Of the

made the supreme sacrifice for the

the great love stories of English

and for the magnificence and au.

Acting honors had to be divided

when the Theater Guild brings
this comedy to the National on
Monday evening, March /, for a

Originally the work Of Bruno
Frank, the German dramatist, it
was produced in Berlin with great
success and subsequently in Aus

Glasgow playwright, adapted it for
the English stage and changed its
locale to small town in Scotland.
In its Anglicized form the piece
ran just two weeks less than a
year in London.
Three members Of the London
cast will be seen in the Theate1

are Roger Livesey, described by
Alexander Woollcott as one of the
finest young actors on the English
stage, Sara Allgood, a member OF
the original Abbey Theater Com
pany of Dublin, and Ian Mclean.
In addition Claudia Morgan, the
talented daughter of Ralph Nor
gan and niece of Frank Morgan,
will be released from her current
role in Maxwell Anderson'S '"The
Masque of Kings" in order to play
a more important part in the

'PIoinsmon' AT
Columbia

A departure from the gilded sin
scented spectacles is Director Cecil
de Miles current offering, "The
Plainsman." This is a different
setting for those too long accus-
toned to Cecil's bath tub operas.
Here we have the stirring pioneer
days; the toughest days in the his
tory of the making of the West.
In casting Gary Copper as Wild
Bill Hickok and Jean Arthur as
Calamity Jane, De Mile took q
great deal of directors license. II
we go by our history book we find
Wild Bill and Calamity barely
passed each others lives and most
certainly did not indulge in the so
patiently sweet love affair given
them on the screen.
All this, nevertheless, is minor
detail. An incredibly thrilling pic
ture has been made. Stirring bat
ties against the savage Indian
tribes take hold of the spectator
and the tremendous force and
sweep Of some of the scenes is
amazingly real. It was, thanks to
the Drawn and brave pioneering,
that today we stand a broad free
country.
Besides Miss Arthur, who, in
mannish attire, makes a capable
and forceful Calamity, Gary
Cooper does another fine piece
of acting as Wild Bill. A violent
life his, and yet when he was so
cowardly shot down from behind
by one Jack Mccall, a great feel
ing OF sorrow is evinced.
Others in the cast are Charles
Bickford, Helen Burgess, James
Ellison, as Buffalo Bill Cody,
Porter Hall, as the yellow Mccall,
and a short glimpse of John Mil
jan, as General Custer, at his
memorable last stand.
The usual entertaining news
reel and a comedy attraction or
two consist the added features.
