becomes impressive.
Such an estimate of the picture
is made with reluctance for e.. one
third of a Nation" Is the sort of
thing the movies always are being
Scolded for not attempting. In
attempting it, with a cast headed
by Sylvia Sidney and Lief Erickson,
the producer seemed to become un-
duly self conscious. In getting
across the message, one of those
narrated in the bang-bang-bang
living newspaper technique, every
one involved is too strained and in
tense. Voices, especially that of
Miss Sidney, grow strident with the
determination to put over the
tragedy. The spectator IS just a
little bit embarrassed that she felt
it necessary to work that hard to
convince him of the Importance of
the subject.
". one-third of Nation"
which the Civic Theater produced
last May as one of its more worthy
projects, is documentary drama
that one would like to have seen di-
rected by Pare Lorentz. Lorentz,
of course, is the man who made
"The River" With the material Of
the current picture, a revelation of
the awfulness of life in insect
infested, insanitary, fire-trap tene-
ments, something splendid as we'll
as important might have been the
result.
Dudley Murphy, director, obvious
ly is troubled by the problem of find
ing the right technique for a new
kind of motion picture. It is rather
an odd attraction of the film that
the struggles of director and play
ers are interesting even when they
are not being crowned with the
hoped-for success. That's some
thing which cannot be said for q
great many of the offerings in Holly
woods program of providing three
thirds OF Nation with entertain
ment.
Those who are curious to see what
social significance is like when it is
transmitted into celluloid probably
owe it to themselves to see :.
one-third of Nation" 1t is i'm
possible to get away from the fact
that Paramount tried something
brave and worthy, even though the
result is less than perfect.
Maurice Evans four-hour Ham
let" is not going to interrupt Wash
ington's dinner hour the way it did
New York's during its several
months run there. 1t is merely 60
ing to rush every one away from
the table, for the plan is to run the
play without break, with an OPEN
ing curtain at 7 pm. Due consider
alton was given to the matter of a
45-minute eating interval at the
halfway point in the play, an item
of sufficient novelty to appeal to
the Gotham public. 1t was con-
cluded by Mr.. Evans and his asso-
ciates that we are the kind of people
who would prefer to eat early and
have nothing on our minds except
Hamlet.
The four-hour production, Incl
dentally, is the one which gives
Evans chance to interpret a Ham
let who is not a study in dyspepsia"

state of the tributary theater in
Washington. Two plays that are
about something" are coming up.
One of them is ANGELS of War;"
which is about war and which the
King Smith Studio will present at
its playhouse in Rock Creek Park
tonight and tomorrow night. The
other is Robert Sherwood's "The
Queens Husband" which is about
an uprising in a mythical country
against a dictatorship and the
puppet royal family which permits it.
This is the annual production Of the
LanSburgh Players. set for March 81.
According to advices received in
advance, Angels of War" lis not a
sentimental preachment against war
nor sugar-coated plea for peace,
but it is completely realistic picture
of life behind the scenes during the
great war and deals with the dis
illusionment which comes to those
who fight in a war to end wars"
Specifically, the people disillusioned
by warfare in ANGELS of War" are
young English girls who have given
up homes, families, marriages, ca
reers and education to drive ambu-
lances for King and country. Keinert
Wolff is the director and you no
doubt can expect the usual neat
King-Smith production.

The Sherwood play which the
Lansburgh Playmakers are doing is
something much more in the comedy
vein. Satire is the authors weapon

revolution and the king who finally

The Interior Players did win third
place for Submerged" and Cue and
Curtains production of I'm Heaven

The only excuse we have to make
for the error Of our ways is that
the first look at Submerged" made
us certain no one could read that

same time. So strong was the i'm
preston that it stuck, even after the
