THEY have added no end of vitality
to their classic piece by doing it
in modern dress on one of the simplest
stages you have ever seen. Wearing
today's garb, Caesar, Brutus, Antony,
Cassius and the others rise out of the
pages of the drama looking and talking
strikingly like current world leaders
who star in the newSreelS. Dark
fellows they are in their various ways,
men Of power, who would trip you up
In your pursuit of liberty and happi-
ness as readily as they would stick
daggers into one another's backs.
You see this Caesar, who looks like
Benito Mussolini, upon our word, not
as the gentleman who divided Gaul
into parties tres, but as successful
killer who proved tragically futile
when it came to ruling his people 1t
Is q vigorous portrait that Welles-
Orson, not H. G., of course-paints
OF the great Caesar, who could be a
very tyrannical fellow out of town,
but who had impulses toward fireside
chatting when at home
Rome, which in this production
looks as if it were trying to do and
be as We are, is sad tragic place in
this dramatic dissertation on dicta-
torship. 1t abounds in chaos and
cruelty, is manned and starved spirit
ually and physically. And the great
Caesar can do nothing about it.
Neither can the brooding, meditative
Brutus, who is such an admirable man
that you do wish he had been capable
OF ruling wisely and we'll.

art in the United States, the
ballet has been coming into
IL its own more and more in the
past few years. American dancers,
schooled in the classic traditions,
have added their own native transla-
tions to the ballet and made it some
thing understandable in familiar
terms.
Outstanding among the American
groups is the Ballet Caravan, 20 first
ranking young artists who will ap-
pear tonight at Roosevelt High School.
These dancers have taken the syn
thesis Of the ballet of the Russian
academies and state theaters, added
to it the Interpretation and comment
deriving from their birth and ind.-
vidual experience Some of the Bal
let Caravan members are the Scotch
Irish OF New England, the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch, the Germans OF Wis
consin, the Danish Mormons of Utah,
the Italians and French of New
York, and together they have wrought
ballet that is distinctively American.
One Of their featured numbers is
called Yankee Clipper" and still
another goes back into American folk
lore for the legend Of Pocahontas.

Snipes Crowding In.

THIS is going to please the moth
and dinghy sailors no end as
they've long maintained it was tough
competing against some of the Is
and l8 footers, even if they did have
q handicap.
SnipeS, which have been a forgot
ten class in these waters, long ruled
by the popular comets, are making a
bid for place on the autumnal card
under the leadership of Fleet Capt
Al S. Greever. skipper of the Alvern.
In addition to snipe Alvern, there
are the Eleanor of w. w. Valentine,
Paul Tomalin's Tern, Forrest Linder's
Diffy and boats of DR.. David Yurow
and LeaSon B. Adams to form the
nucleus of fleet.
Leslie Wright and his bay cham
pion, Fan Tan, which races with the
Sparrows Point Yacht Club feet near
Baltimore, are reported ready to Join
with the local sailors. Wright and
his vile as crew have been cleaning
up in nearby regattas all season and
should supply the Washington yachts
men some hot competition.
While on the subject, we might say
that Capt. Greever wants any one
owning or interested in the snipe to
contact him or Jack Marsh, official
measurer for this district. The local
fleet received charter just year ago
and maybe in another year will have
a hotilla rivaling the comet class.

calls for some rather expert crystal
gazing, he definitely will send fans
away from there humming instead Of

glamor that is attached to a heavy
weight title bout was present. You

TINE sailing events of the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta couldn't
have been more successful
when you stop to consider that
the weather was varied enough to suit
all tastes for wind. The skipper that
thinks his craft is a going thing in
light airs had that aplenty on Satur-
day, while the spray-loving salt who's
always beating his chest for wind got
that and more before it was over.
Then, too, the sailors scored a scoop
by having the Chief Executive view
their events and theirs only from the
yacht Potomac.
Many spectators who came down to
see what sail race was like and hear
ing that they were pretty slow from
the shore angle got their moneys worth
when the mean flaws out of the North
started playing havoc with the smaller
entrants. 1t wasn't such great fun
for the dunked yachtsmen, but it sup
piled the thrills.
We, for one, saw as fine an example
OF small boats planeing when those
little moths tore down wind, riding the
waves like catapulted surf board.
Some of them must have been going
around 20 miles an hour.
A S FOR sand, the crew on one of
the sailing canoes demonstrated
it in plain view of the committee boat
and the shore. Taking water with
every wave they beat through, this
particular canoe was just on the point
of sinking with its four men.
One of them. the bowman, went
overheard, slicker and all, swan to the
stern and placed his weight so that

and disappointments. Somehow you
feel the show was overrated.
Ambers and Montanez, for some
reason, were expected to re-enact q
scene from Alsace-Lorraine.
1t was to have been the blood
lest argument since the last
razor welding in Harlem, but
the boys must have scanned the
wrong script.
The highly touted Montanez ap-
peared as though the title for which
he was fighting was as insignificant
as four-round preliminary purse.
He merely locked Louis left arm under
his right armpit and was content to
let it go at that.
Montanez' sorry showing was at
tributed in some quarters to Referee
Johnny Marto's refusal to allow Pedro
to hold his opponent in order to get
leverage for his right hand wallop.
But Gen. John j. Phelan. chairman OF
the New York State Athletic Com
mission, twice saw fit to warn Mario
to break them more rapidly. Montanez
simply showed no desire to fight.

but the cast and number of acts will
have to be altered considerably before
it will entice a sizeable crowd.
There was too much fighting from
the standpoint of rounds scheduled
and not enough actual humping to
offset the miserable Lou Ambers-
