Civic Theoter
Is All Ready

Dress rehearsals are in prog
ress in preparation for the open
ing of Elmer Rice's judgement
Day" as the opening play Of the
Civic's third season. Following
the policy which was established
last year, this will be the first
time that this play, which has
been seen in both London and
New York, will have been seen
in washington.
The Civic Theater has shown
itself to be very adept at choos-
ing plays which have been in
close relationship to the news Of
the day. Last year, their brilliant
productions of both Johnny
johnson" and ;. one third
of a nation " were timed to
coincide with recent headlines.
Judgement Day." which is on
the subject of Hitlerism, is even
more timely.
While judgement Day" uses
only single SET designed py VIII
liam M. Girvan, 1t is still one OF
the larger productions which the
Civic has undertaken. The cast
numbers about 40 people, and
as the events Of the purge trial
move to a relentless climax, the
drama assumes portions
which go beyond the limits Of
the stage. Rice makes his char
acters conscious that they are
in reality speaking to a world
audience.
F. Cowles Strickland, director
Of the Civic Theater, promises
that the opening performance
at the Rialto next Wednesday
will be another Of those finished
performances which have come
to be expected Of Washington's
own production group.

It spreads all over the longer,
and more important, fresh
aleck role Of Billy Randolph,
which Wayne Morris assays with
some success.
Mr.. Morris is not yet a Jimmy
Cagney, or a Pat O'Brien, at
handling fast speech, or a fun

lacquered with nifties, and so
alive with alert action, his
shortcomings will be passed by
those who have not seen the

suit of Mortell's disregard Of the
theory of zone play: a theory
which generally is disregarded IN
professional football.
The Eagles first touchdown re-
suited from Mortell's pass to Ram
sey, and was good for 81 yards.
On this play Ramsey outran Riley
Smith and Filchock. The second
touchdown of the Eagles came
when the visitors ran back a
punt to WaShington's 34-yard
line. Mortell passed to Dow for
a 12-yard gain, and then Mortell
passed to Carter, who snatched
the ball away from Don Irwin
and ran for touchdown.
The Redskins scored a complete
victory in the statistical tables.
They gained 457 yards by all
means, 251 by air. They lost 30
yards on penalties. Philadelphis
gained 100 yards by air.
When the game was over, Ray

But at the oxer (brush and double

Bank, he disappointingly scored
knock-downs and 8 points against
the q. s. team.
Next was the Mexican's lead-off
horse, Donaji. with Captain Ar

better luck on the oxer: going
over, his hind legs dragged in the
brush but he folded them up in
time to clear the last pole without
a fault score. But four points were
scored against the Mexican team
when he pulled a rail off the
Toronto Bank.
Gringo, with Captain Guillermo
Castro up, went in first for the
Chilean team. He went clean over
everything but the oXer, where he
took off the near rail to score four
points against his team.

Chile, 2034. Since only the best

horses seemed to be riding with

Instead, the big bay gelding, who
