'CRA|G'S WIFE
 WELL ENACTED
Apple Orchard Thespians Delight Appreciative
 Litchfield Audience
Special to The Democrat)

Litchfield, Aug. G. Dee Foster! Robert Reevesi Eva Constance! = the most sensational combination of star names of the year in the suspenseful Pulitzer prize play, "Craig's Wife" did Dione Lewis Apple Orchard Theatre cast justice last evening at the Playhouse where the drama opened a weeks engage ment before an appreciative aud- fence.
 Dee Foster, marve1ously portray ing the difficult role of Mrs. Craig which Waterbury's Rosalind Rus sell enacted in the screen version of the same play, is really excellent for all her unScrupulousness. As the very selfish wife she talks and acts her way into one scrape after the other, most of the time with her tongue backing her up.
 Robert Reeves, as the loving but always enduring husband, gives this youngster the most sparkling char acterization he has undertaken with this group this summer. The actions and swift dialogue of Reeves as the bewildered hubby blends to spell satisfaction for the audience.
 Eva Constance, as Miss Austen, back in a major role after suc- cessful portrayal in Ladies in Re- tirement," is the placid neighbor whose friendliness toward every one arouses the jealous Mrs. Craig time and time again. Eva does a splendid job as a chatterbox and not once, despite the fact that it was opening night, did she huff a line.
 Next weeks attraction, which will run Tuesday through Saturday, will be Here Today"
 The cast of "Craig's Wife" in the order of their appearance follows: Miss Austen .... Eva Constance Mrs. Harold ..... Annette Hervie Mazie ......... Bernyce Robert Mrs. Craig .......... Dee Foster Ethel Landreth .........
 Margaret Dickenson Walter Craig ..... Robert Reeves Mrs. Frazier Martha Greenhouse Billy Bilkmire ... George Pillette Joseph Catelle ....... John Coyle Harry ............ Michael Carter Eugene Fredericks ....

NOAH AND THE FLOOD

Many of the important personages of
history have been shorn of much of their
supposed greatness by modern historians
and ear-historians. 1t was inevitable that
old Father Noah should get his debunking
in due time. and so it has happened.
DR.. c.. Leonard Woolley, noted arch
eologist, is the debunker. He declares that
excavations along the Euphrates show that
the Flood of Noah's time, mentioned in the
Bible was only local condition, and that
many of the inhabitants of the region es-
capped to safety in the hills.
The presence of Noah at the scene is
doubted by DR.. Woolley, who places the
date of the flood at about 1000 B. c., while
the Jews first came to Mesopotamia some
1000 years later. The archeologist be-
leves that the Jews heard the legend of
Noah, the ark and the dove from the Assy-
rians and adoptd it as their own. In sup
port of this view he pointed to Assyrian tab
lets which portray the story.
Anyway, 5000 years is>a long time
back. and while most psychologists agree
that the popular idea of the flood is great
" exaggerated, it is doubtful that we shall
ever know just what happened around the
Euphrates valley in that distant day.

THE STUBBORN GREEKS

Since the unprovoked invasion of
Greece by Italy, the Greeks have put up a
stubborn resistance comparable with that
Of the heroic Firms in their struggle with
Russias hordes few months ago. But,
like the Firms, they could not be expected
to hold out long against overwhelming num-
bers without outside aid
In the first two weeks of fighting, the
Italians made little Roadway, and at some
points were driven back into Albania
whence their invasion was launched. The
Greeks have claimed the capture of many
prisoners and the nflictiOn of severe casual
ties on the italians, while suffering COM
paratively small losses themselves.
Reports from Italian sources have de-
MED most of the Greek claims, but it seems
certain that the poor showing made by the
Italians has been very disappointing to both
Mussolini and Hitler. Considerable aid IS
being given the Greeks by British alrplanes
and warshps and bombing raids have been
made on Naples and other Italian
bases.
In the end Greece may share the fate of
other nations which have been invaded by
Germany and Italy, but they are making
gallant fight in the face of overwhelming
odds. The army is small and most of it is
poorly equipped, being especially deficient
in airplanes and in modern tanks and arth-
'lery. The navy is also relatively weak.
The country has been the victim OF
war, like the rest of Europe, during much
of it's history, but it's people are both brave
and stubborn, and resistance to Italy has
been remarkable under the circum-
stances.

WHAT HER LIPS TELL


II man wants to know what kind OF
wife girl will make he need only to study
her lips. according to Lillian Rosine, an ex-
pert in making up the faces of movie stars at
a major Hollywood studio
She describes various types and their
significance, but doesn't give the poor male
much comfort in doing so. Anyway, this Is
her analysis:
Thin, straight lips pressed close to-
gether-'youll never win an argument
from her.
The rosebud mouth. praised by poets
you'll never have your own way. She will
pout until you give in"

forget that other men think so, too. If you
are the jealous type, avoid this girl
Lips that curve down at the corner
she can't take a joke. Move your things
into the dog house. Youth be there most of
the time"
These, said Miss Rosine, are infaiilble
sirnsls. But girls are clever. They dis

1t is doubtful if any year in
history was more eventful than
1910. 1t was year of tremendous
import to all mankind. Millions
who ushered It in with faith and
hope in their hearts today lie
crushed under the ruthless heel
of the oppressor. Peace loving
nations, weak, helpless and un-
prepared, have been wiped from
the map and their peoples reduc-
ed to slavery. Death and destruc-
ton on scale beyond all human
comprehension have been visited
upon millions.
A year ago America welcomed
the New Year a feeling of securi-
ty as far as involvement in the
European and Asiatic conflicts
was concerned. The war still
seemed remote. CZechoSlavakia,
Austria and Poland were gone;
Norway, Denmark and the low
countries were still intact while
France seemed secure behind her
Maginot Line and England re-
mained mistress of the seas and
possessed with ample resources.
With startling swiftness the
brutal forces of dictatorship
swept on to devour the better
part of continental Europe. In
quick succession Denmark. Nor
way, Holland, Belgium and Fran
CO found themselves overcome.
The mainland of Europe from the
Arctic Sea to the Mediterranean
fell under the domination of to-
talitarian powers while Britain,
her back to the wall, struggled
doggedly and alone. the last bull
wark of liberty and freedom.
America at last awakened and
for the first time realized that
this was no local conflict based
on the disputes of boundaries
but was in truth a death strug-
gle between two distinctly diff
ferent ideas of life and govern
ment.
1941 sees America preparing
to meet this threat With deter
mination and courage our Presi-
dent has set in motion every
force within his power to build
up our national defense and
while progress in this direction
has not been as speedy and as
coordinated as it should be, our
people are beginning to appreci-
ate the necessity for concerted
action and all indications point to
renewed effort the new year.

TOOLATE TO
CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY

What the next twelve months
may hold for America and the
world no man can say, bue we
should at least profit from the
lessons of the tragic year just
passed and determine individu-
ally and collectively that come
what may, this nation will not be
caught off guard or unprepared.
AS citizens, it is the duty of
each of us to stand firm behind
those we have clothed with au-
thority and intrusted with the
task of meeting the trying prob
lens of the hour. 1t is the duty
of both labor and industry to
forget their own private and sell
fish interests and form united
front for the protection and well
fare of the nation as a whole.
Each individual citizen should
guard as never before his actions
and his tongue and concern him
self diligently and faithfully to
the task at hand, guarding
against misunderstanding, strife
and intolerance.
Every American hopes for
peace but must fully realize that
to insure it we must be prepared
to defend our way of life from
those who would destroy it,
whether from within or from
without.
Efforts will be made to disrupt
us by soliciting class against
class, creed against creed and
group against group Agitators,
many in the employ of alien
powers, will strive to drive a
wedge between the laborer and
employer, the Jew and the Gen.
tile, the black and the white, the
Catholic and the Protestant, and if
we thoughtlessly permit ourselv-
es to be influenced by such agi-
tation we will play directly into
the hands of our enemies.
Let us face the new year with
faith and courage and recognize
the responsibility that is ours.
Let us resolve that we shall
and cannot be divided, and stand
shoulder to shoulder, united in
plan and purpose, to the end that
America and the American way
sof life shall not perish from the
earth. $500
And my personal wish to you
is everything good for the New
Year!

Only five persons were lynched in the
United States during 1910, one white man
and the other four Negroes. All were MUIR
dered in the South--two in Georgia, two in
Alabama and one in Tennessee This is a
big improvement over 1892 when 231 per-
sons were killd by mobs, 50 of the victims
being white men. Some day, let us hope,
this stain on American civilization, will be
erased entirely.
