with a cast headed by Lucille Wat
son and Paul Lukas, makes it clear
why Miss Hellman is rated as Amer
icas foremost woman dramatlst
Hers is the gift Of power in simple
statement, of putting that simple
statement into the mouths OF peo-
pie who are warm, alive, brave and
bewildered, and putting those peo-
pie into a plot which makes them
understandable and moves her play
to its desired objective. She has re-
membered, in other words, to tell a
story and has done it Superlatlyely
well.

watch on the Rhine" is propa-
ganda-for our side. 1t is the ac-
count of the tortured life OF an
.idealistic German, the gentle-heart-
ed German who has become a myth,
and of his unending fight to rescue
the fatherland from the blood bath
fiends. For the time of the play,
this suffering soul and his family,
have found shelter, food, warmth
and love in the wife's gracious Amer
lean home. But they have not
found peace, for there can be no
peace in the world until the thing
that haunts and hates and pursues
them is destroyed.
That is the message of Miss He'll
mans play, that an enormous price
has been placed upon human liberty
and that there is no escaping Its
payment.
The same thing has been said be-
fore, but not so well. Elmer RICE
said it in Flight to the West" and
said it eloquently but forgetting to
put it in dramatic form. Where ne
wrote an argument, Miss Hellman
wrote a play-and so nearly great
one that to see minor flaws Is mere
churiSh caviling.
Scene of Watch on the Rhine"
Is a home near Washington" the
spacious home of gracious elderly
widow. The reverberations of world
chaos do not disturb its essential
tranquility until the German refugee
and his American wife come there
to visit the Wife's mother. Gradu-
ally begins the drama of terror
which shows the infinite reach OF
Nazi-ism for all who oppose it. A
moment of rest and respite is all
the German father wants for him.
self and his family. Another exile
in the house sees that he does
not get it. The other guest is of
the other faith-the inhuman phi
losophy in its most depraved form.
The resolution of the conflict is
something Miss Hellman and her
brilliant cast should be allowed to
describe for themselves.
X X
For all the grimneSs of its theme,
It is one of the graces of Watch
on the Rhine" that it has its highly
comic moments. Miss Hellman was
not so deadly serious that she for
got the trick of comedy relief. Nor
was she so unwise as to put words
in the mouths of her characters
when feelings, torn and bewildered,
were the things to be shared with
the audience.
Mr.. LukaS gentle idealiSt turned
murderer for his principles is the
outstanding character of her play,
and played beautifully as if he
were. But there is vitality and

meaning in all the others; the eld-
erly widow lucille Watson), under
whose pettineSs is something fine
and understanding; the precocious
little boy eric Roberts, inclined
toward a body as fat as his head
is not; the wife (Mady Christians) /,
who is brave enough to send her
husband to death when life is all
either ever asked of life, and the
wife's indolent easygoing brother
John Lodge, who awakens to an
incredibly cruel world.
Miss Hellman'S villain George
Coulouris), like her admirable peo-
pie, is drawn in terms that are
wisely a combination of black and
white-not mere black. He is the
more villainous for it, as the others
are more heroic.
1t increases the stature of her
play, of her as the years most force
full playwright.
