REICH CATHOLICS
JO|NF|GHT ON REDS
Pastoral Letter Pledges Aid
to Hitler in Battle Against
Communism.
~ the Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
BERLIN, january 2.-The Nazi
government Of Germany and the Cath
olic Church gave signs today Of a re-
turn to cordial relations, with COM
munism as common foe.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler, it was
disclosed, sent cordial New Year
greetings to Pope Plus XI, expressing
hope for his recovery.
A pastoral letter, to be read from
German Catholic pulpits tomorrow,
will pledge the church to support the
reichsfuehrer and chancellor in his
fight against bolshevism with all its
means"
It did, however, disclose the church
has not forgotten its differences with
NaZi attempts to educate Catholic
youth and with the movement in some
quarters of the Third Reich to stress
''blood. soil and race" neo-paganism in
preference to Christianity.
Der Flehrer's New Year message
was included with others to the Kings
Of England, Italy, Denmark, Greece
and Bulgaria and other nations and to
the regents of Hungary and Yugo-
elavia.
I'VE Catholics" the letter says,
sknow that If Moscow's armies should
which God forbid-carry the red
nag victoriously through Central and
Western Europe, everything would be
transformed into ruin and churchly
life also would be plunged into chaos
and destruction"
Because German Catholics are so
keenly aware of this situation, the let
ter states. they are doubly grieved to
see existing tendency to regard every
loyal Catholic as hidden enemy of
the state.
They view with anxiety, 1t asserts,
the aggressive propaganda of the So
called Germanic faith movement,
(which would substitute for Christian
lty a nature cult of flesh and blood"
Catholics. it continues, "deplore the
school law and school dictatorship
which in certain provinces more or
less exclude or take into no account
the wishes of parents in the education
Of their children"
Despite all these things, the letter
says. Catholics are ready to give the
state its due support of Der Fuehrer
in his defense against bolshevism and
in his other tasks"

EXCELLENT CAST

Bolingbroke is an actors part.
1t has bravura speeches of value,
live and warm moments in the
acting sun, brave attitudes.
Frederick Worlock is admirably
equipped for the chore with his
booming voice, his assured pres
ence and a fine understanding
of the roles requirements.
Admirable, too, Lee Baker as
old Gaunt, making effective that
soaring speech on England'S
greatness; the Mowbray of Don.
old Randolph, the meek and
mouSy Duke of York, limned by
Lionel Hogarth and the sancti-
moniouS Northumberland of
Charles Dalton.
This is not a play for distaff
glory, although the queen is
touchingly done by Eleanor
Phelps.
David Ffolkes period coStum-
ing is a happy harmony of col
ors and the utmost of scenic
effect is achieved with economy
of sets. You must commend
Margaret Webster's staging and
direction both for its alert pace
and for its vigorous marShaling
OF the plays dramatic pulse
beats for effective climaxes.
The best ShakeSpearian pro.
duction of this generation is in
our midst. Richard II" is a
show deluxe, measured by the
usual theatrical yardstickS, a
classic that still shines.

RINGING SPEECHES
However, Richard II" is here
again. Here in a production
that for decor is striking, in
hardy color and costumes, with
majestic organ rolls to fit,
musically the mood. with fore
stage remodeled for entrances,
with a cast that treats the play
in both dignity and reverence.
Richard II" makes a great
show, for this production has
been conceived and staged by
those with a fine sense of what
the modern theater requires,
and what the contemporary
playgoer likes.
The accent here is on spec
tacle, and on forensics. King
Richard II was not noble
character, nor of sovereign
stature. Shakespeare treated
him with compassion, eXcuSing
his weaknesses, eXalting his
slender virtues and well mean
ing, exposing his love of flattery,
yet, in the completed portrait,
projecting a monarch meeting
death like a royal martyr, and,
for all his vacilliating qualities,
an appealing figure.
No enthusiast for Shakes
peare beyond the classroom, 1
found this play the most enjoy
able evening with the classics I
have encountered in a genera
ton of play-going.
I liked its swift and stirring
climaxes that suggest the flash

Maurice Evans Gives Brilliant
Performance As Monarch
Who Played Too Well
Bv ANDREW R, KELLEY

Some of Shakespeares glowing lines of lyrical beauty
and of the towering moments of eoquence for
actors repose in the brooding story of "Rchard H. which
Maurice Evans offered shining performance at the National
Theater last night.
It strange that 60 years should eapse between
American productions of this early Bard exhibit trace it
kepc that the fact that star actors YIELD with
luctance the spotlight to Bongbroke and John of Gaunt
for they have sturdy speeches that challenge for prominence

ing thrills of a scenario. I like
its blessed actor s-Who can
handle the we'll grouped words
in poetic speeches as they
should be handled-with rich,
well.rounded voices and feel
ing as to how they should be
uttered.
For those who need a refresh
ing of history, let it be said
that Richard II was an effem-
mate ruler, who would rather
be surrounded by his flattering
mobiles, and enjoy his holidays,
than wrestle with England's
problems.
AS the play opens he has
banished Henry of Bolingbroke,
Duke of Herford, for six years,
and the Duke of Norfolk into
permanent exile. Bolingbroke's
popularity he visions as a men
ace to his peace.
GLORIOUS VOICES
Richard then mortgages the
nations revenues to carry on e
war in Ireland, confiscateS the
estate of John of Gaunt, which
rightfully belonged to the ex.
lied Bolingbroke.
Richards absence gives the
scheming Bolingbroke an op-
portunity to rally the embit-
tered mobiles and the tax bur-
dened people, and the king lands
in Wales with his throne totter-
ing. He makes an empty com
promise with Bolingbroke as he
realizes that the fealty Of his
subjects has vanished.
Perhaps Richard saw the end
as he carefully confessed: "A
little pin bores through his
castle wall. and farewell king. "
Upon Richards abdication,
Bolingbroke aScends the throne
as Henry ", conniveS to have
the humiliated monarch taste
