The Cast.

1t is shame, really. that the
Washington Civic Theater doesn't
have a neat little playhouse OF it's
own, equipped with all modern con-
veniences, including revolving stage
facilities. Its production of Sidney
Kingsley's Men in White" being
presented this week, except Thurs
day night at the Wardman Park,
certainly deserves something like
that. Mr.. William Girvan, long the
groups technical expert, who has
departed hence for Leland Stanford
University, is being missed, we can
tell you.
Fault can not be found with the
acting of Mr.. Kingsley's Pulitzer
prize drama, being played on
Washington stage for the first time,
nor does Leon Askin'S direction fail
to point its drama, its moral, nor
even its Theatres. The five differ
ent settings required by the nine
scenes of the play are fine. too, once
they are set up. That's the catch.
| NO cast in the world could have
maintained more than so per cent
of the dramatic interest in the
drama last night, especially in these
days when audiences are accustomed
to such quick-changeS as those of
Orson Welles, whose actors have
often found themselves Whirled into
darkness to recite their lines to
StagehandS as the next scene started.
Still this is the only complaint one
can muster against the local groups
version of play which is theatric
on the surface and solid to the core,
If it is proper, at this late date, to
agree with the Pulitzer Prize Com
mittee of 1884 Mr.. Kingsley's ex-
pertly fabricated drama is done with
a skill which brings it alive, even if
it does have to be brought newly
alive with every scene. Charles
Baker, who more closely resembles
DR.. Kildare than Clark Gable (and
that is no non-sequitur, for Gable
played the role in the screen version
of Men in WhiteD, is excellent as
the young surgeon faced with a
choice between his beloved career
and his beautiful heiress. Excellent,
too, is Paul Walter, the noted doc
tor who knows what promising
young inferno should do about his
career and can, If love is true love.
So is husky-voiced Elizabeth Win
burn, a lass to give any one pause
when forced to choose between her
and a career. So. for that matter
are number of others in the cast;
altogether they stage play worth
seeing, for all its crying need for
mechanical Tightening. H. M.

Preparing to embark upon its fifth
season, the Cross Roads 1heater
thinks this is a good time to note
how far the group has come along
since it was formed in 1887. Well,
last summer, when the Virginia
barn theater outfit was getting
along at top speed, the season lasted
13 weeks, during which seven plays
were presented. The first year,
1887, the groups total playing time
was 26 nights, five plays being pre-
senteG with more or less success,
ranging from the three-day run of
The Last of Mrs. Cheyney' to the
seasons nine-performance hit, The
Ghost Train" Since opening, the
group has presented "a plays at the
barn theater at Bailey's Cross Roads,
only one of them, The Vinegar
Tree" being repeated. The record
shows the group hardly limiting
itself in mood or manner of dra-
matic attack, either, for the boys and
girls have done everything from
Lulu Vollmer's Sun Up" to Noel
Coward's Private Lives"
