is thoroughly smooth and playable for modern American audiences
 Brand" is human interest drama
 which tells the story of fascin- ating zealot whose fanatic and re- lentless pursuit of his own ideals proves his own undoing. His des- tructive force makes him closer to the devil than to the god he pre- sumes himself to be. This play is not one of the psychological dramas such as Ibsen was to do later on, but is more in an everyday vein with startling reminders of the everyday people we all know. Brands stubbornness, his neigh bor's struggle against poverty, their family life, and the political ele- r1ents all make this familiar and timely melodrama. Truly this is Ib- sens most powerful drama, strik- ing at the very evils which are fes-
 tering today. Featured in the cast will be F. c. Furcolowe, who made

The first production in America of Brand" by Ibsen, will be in Litchf1eld this week in new adap- tation and translation by Frank Rothe. This most ambitious project of the Litchfield Summer Theater involves six settings and a cast Of thirty-five. Brand" is one of the earliest of Ibsen's plays, and while it has been popular in Europe, it has never been done in this coun- try because of the fact that it takes six hours of playing time.
 Frank Rothe, leading man at Woodstock, and well-known Broad way actor, has done an excellent job in reducing this to normal length which preserves the power and beauty of the original play and

Mostly cloudy tonight and Sunday;
cooler tonight. with minimum Of

Celebrating on his prediction after
second glance at his maps and in

He said he expected the mercury
to climb only to the low COS this aft
ernoon and not 60 much above IS to-
morrow.
