the entertainment value Of this pair
OF pictures, but they are provocative.
Think of the false impression that
Will exist In the minds of those who
learned about Marie from Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer If they should ever en-
counter q course in French history in
college. Before they could ever pass
a test, II ever they could, they would
have to unlearn what that picture
taught them. And what a pitiable
spectacle the history prof would make,
with no reproductions of Versailles, no
Norma Shearer, with nothing but his
own earnestness and eloquence to COM
pete with the vast resources of Holly
wood.
1t is something to contemplate. But,
then, so Is the fact that no one in a
movie audience will be subjected to the
sight OF the wrong button on a uni
form, or diaper crudely or clumsily
tied.
And now to read what F.. Cowles
Strickland has to say about the choice
OF Judgment Day" as the Civic Thea
ters first production of the season:
When dramatist selects a con-
temporary political subject for a play
he runs the risk that the issue may
be closed and settled before his play
reaches the stage. If that does not
happen his drama is almost certain to
be outmoded within a few years. How
ever. when Elmer Rice wrote 'Judg-
ment Day the Civic Theater's produc-
tlon at the Rialto Theater next
Wednesday there's the plug), he Sc
lected political subject which grows
increasingly important.
The play, which tells the story of
particular purge trial in dictator
country in a capital of Southeastern
Europe becomes pertinent comment
on the fate Of democracy in a world
which Is being over-ridden by dicta-
tors. When Rice wrote the drama in
1884 purge trials had not then re-
celved the tremendous publicity which
branded them as one of the most
brutal weapons Of dictators. Czecho-
slovakia, with its Prague then a cap
ital in Central Europe, had not been
dismembered. Yet many of the
speeches in Judgment Day sound
like transcriptions OF those stirring
radio broadcasts during the recent
Czech crisis.
THE action Of the entire play takes
place in courtroom, where Lydia
Kuman and George Khitov are being
tried for a supposed attempt on the
life Of the dictator. Actually the
crime OF these two is membership in
a political party opposed to dictators.
In the last act, when the judges have
heard all Of the testimony in the case,
Mr.. Rice has chance to make his
plea for democracy. Into the mouth
of Conrad, Lydia's brother, whose legal

former suitors to find the one with
whom she might have attained the
happiness she missed. 1t evolves as
one of the most arresting and dra-
matte character studies ever photo
graphed, a picture teeming with action
and movement, all Of it leading to
a denouement far less tragic than
one might suppose.

experience has been in the United
States and who Is assisting the de-
tense counsel, the playwright puts a
thrilling. convincing appeal for free
dom. Conrad declares that this purge
trial is being watched by the entire
world. that it is not an attempt to con-
vict two people, but rather an at
tempt to convict democracy He pleads
that his country must be the one to
proclaim to the world that freedom is

that man may still think and be-

ods of correcting faults.
Mr.. Ferguson said he believed that
caulking the cracks in the brick walls
would correct the leaking. 1t is likely
that the discolored walls will be fin
ished with waterproof paint to check
any "hairline" leaks that may remain,
Mr.. Ferguson said.
1t is estimated that there are from
$4,000 to 10000 lineal feet of cracks
in the brick walls, or from nearly to
8 miles of cracks. Mr.. Ferguson's es-
innate is $4,000 feet, 40 per cent of
which has been caulked so far.
MIR. Ferguson said everything used
in the project met Government speci-
f1cations, and the materials and con-
struction were to form such a perfect
waterproof structure that use of wa
terproof1ng material on the interior
of the exterior walls was excluded.
The buildings are made of concrete,
concrete slabs and concrete columns
and beams, with an exterior of load
bearing masonry walls. Mr.. Ferguson
said some persons attribute the cracks
in the walls to expansion and con-
traction of the concrete at the slab
lines.
