the proper lyric note that Is impera-
tive in the great poetic dramas. He
has reticence without falling into the
sort Of undertaking that made Leslie
Howard's Hamlet 80 unimpressive, and
he has the ability to plunge into q
scene with vehemence and power
without growing hysterical and
neurotic about it, as did John Gielgud.
He has almost as much sardonic
humor as had Mr.. Barrymore, and
such quality is vital in almost all
Of the major Shakespearean roles.
Above all, he is the first Shake
spearean actor within memory to
present US with the surprising In
formation that one Of these incom-
parable lyric characters can be played
to the hilt by one who has about
him no trace Of personal extravaganza
Of the sort Of thing popularity and
crudely designated as ham"
In fact, it is not too much to say
that Mr.. Evans, even more than Max
well Anderson, has been the savior
OF the theater this year. To innu-
merable doubling souls he brought

still one OF the fine arts and that the
theater, at its glowing best, can be

seems virtually new playa renais-
sance seemed to take place in the
theater and an entire audience realized
that the stage would not perish while
such miracles Of power and beauty
could take place upon it This was
the sort Of experience that made
diligent attendance at hundreds of
shabby openings understandable. This
was the sort Of dramatic exultation
we optimists wait for night after
night, and it served to justify us in
our vigil. In the enthusiasm of re-
viewing the performance I went so
far as to state hastily that Mr.. Evans
was worth two John Gielguds. I
would ask permission to change this
little. He is worth six of Mr.. Giel-
gud.
Not only is Mr.. Evans portrayal
masterpiece of distinguished and in
telligent acting, but the production is
one of the fine achievements Of mod
ern Shakespearean staging. Just as
the stars performance kept a perfect
balance between the poetic and the
realistic in acting, So does Miss Mar

admirable equilibrium between color

MS agony over TdCc 1utUlcTdIlCc, dllu
Shakespeare over the craven weak
nesses in human nature in Hamlet"
Mr.. Kingsley's cry Of pain is superin-
duced by the shabbiness of life as it
deals with children. Were there less
ignobility in the world. indeed, there
would be fewer noble plays.
That would be q loss, especially in
the case Of such plays as Dead End"
The merit of this Kingsley play is
evidenced not merely by the fact of its
nearly two years run in New York,
but by the oddity of the arrangement
which brings it to Washington. Dead
End" opens tomorrow night not by
the grace Of municipal officials, for
they are bound by oath to enforce
the law, but it Is here by their willing
ness to cooperate with Producer
Norman Bel Geddes. Because of the
power Of the play as social docu-
ment, they put their collective in
telligence and interest to work to find
way to bring it in despite the local
law which restricts child actors. With
the management, they worked out the
perfectly legal-and entirely novel
arrangement of an 8 o'clock curtain.
STARTING the play at that unusual
hour will permit the 10 under
age members of the cast to finish their
artistic chores by 10 pm.
That conforms to statutory require
ments for stage children whatever it
may do to the normal dinner hour of
Washington theatergoers. With ref
erence to the latter, there is great
deal of speculation. Will the early
curtain help the play or hurt it?
Some of the more serious and pro-
found students of human nature are
of the opinion that the effect will be
beneficial. They take the position
that the very oddity of the opening
hour will help sell the play: that it
will be regarded as something of gen.
uine importance (as it Isl to depart
50 from the normal scheme of things
theatrical. They even see the audi
ence becoming. in effect, part Of the
cast through the exigency of being
asked to drop everything else to be
there by curtain time.
COME of the more acute historians

see parallel between the showing of
Dead End" and the speakeasy era
To get the play over by 10 pm, 'tis
felt. will involve race with the law
as everything alcoholic was in the
days before repeal. There will be the
difference, of course, that Dead End"
is art.
There is no question that audience
cooperation will be extremely essen
tial to the success Of the play here.
However late the individual play
goer may be, the rise of the curtain
will be exactly on time, at 8 o'clock
sharp. The child actors must be of
the stage by 10 pm. The company
management has guaranteed that they
will be. The representatives of the
law will be there to see that the
guarantee is kept.
1t gives the play an added zest if,

COUNTING out Maxwell Anderson.
no small feat in this world, it is
very evident that dramatic honors for
the season must be bestowed upon
William Shakespeare. No sooner does
his Hamlet" depart from New York,
where John Gielgud made it sensa-
tion, than along comes his far lesser
known Richard II" to carry even
greater conviction of his abiding,
transcendant genius
Evening star., 1937-02-14

If, however, "Richard II" adds to
the stature Of its playwright, 1t looks
as II 1t would reduce the proportions
of Gielgud. The Richard" Of Maurice
Evans already has started Gotham
critics hedging on the greatness which
they ascribed to Gielgud. A great
Shakespearean actor they still say of
him. But wait until you see Maurice

being definitely that Evans Is the
superior actor
In the meantime, II any one is in

role with enormous success in Los
Angeles. That metropolis. it should
be remembered, is merely q suburb
OF Hollywood, where Howard Is an

ular idol. It is not impossible that,
to Hollywood eyes, Gielguds interpre-
tation would seem a thing Of sad
incongruity. 1t Is difficult to believe,
but one never can tell. Hollywood
has great deal Of faith in, and famil-
iarity with. Howard's work.
IF THEY do not stop changing the
name Of James Brides play. 1t Is
going to look as If it were travelling
under an alias. The third change
since it originally was christened will
bring it to Washington as Storm

in Teacup."
Storm Over Patsy" will be the
sixth and final play of the Theater
Guild-American Theater Society sea-
son at the National.
FAILURE Of "Hey Diddle Diddle"
to bring the cheers Of critics
ringing in his ears is not going to
deter Jack Garrison, who reopened
the Belasco last week. He carries on
with high hopes that future plays
will be better; more. with q determi-
nation to see that they are.
There were those who would-and
did-argue that Hey Diddle Diddle"
was not as bad as it was painted by
professional appraisers Of drama
merit. They based their argument
upon the circumstance that the play
was funny in spots" So, of course,
is one joke out of 20 In an after
dinner speech. The other 19 are ex-
tremely hard to take. So was Hey

Chevy Chase Citizens
Group Asks Change
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

In adopting an eight-point tax
report from its executive commit
tee. the Chevy Chase Citizens AS
sociation, at last nights meeting
in the E. v. Brown School, op
posed the business privilege tax
and recommended substitution OF
a retail sales tax of not over two
per cent on commodities other
than foods, fuels and medicine, or
an income tax; that the District
budget for 1889 not exceed that
for 1898, and that any bond issue
plan would be undesirable and
an invitation to extravaganza.
Fire Chief Charles S. Schrom
was commended for keeping his
budget request for 1889 level with
1888.

dorse a request by James E.
Schwab, chairman of the commit
tee on legislation for the City

support for an $1.68 per cent in
crease in appropriation asked by

ment.
President Edward S. Hege, and
others declared it folly to recon-
mend any special item for par
ticular treatment, and said he
would refuse to go before the
Budget Bureau or Congress with
such a request.
In a resolution by Lewis Rad
cliffe, other civic groups were
asked to join in a petition to the

judicial mistakes one by one. Some
judges, seeking to read their own
views and social PHILOSOPHERS into our
fundamental law, insist that, il their
Constitution stands in the way Of
needed legislation, the only remedy
= by way Of formal amendment. And
when, over their protest, constitu-
tional interpretations are attrned to
the facts Of the time, such adjust

their brethren. They remain fixed

Lest any one In his heart deny that

recall that during the last four years
every essential measure the Govern
ment has been called upon to defend

Of nine with four votes lost to it in

OF course no one desires a sub
servient judiciary. Those who assert
that such is the present purpose have
grievously misjudged the President
and misread the history of our long
struggle to free ourselves Of all tyran-

cial. The independence of our courts
must be zealously preserved-but it

country to move forward to the solu-
