Rivers and Heroes
OF Canada Recalled
In School Broadcast
Powell Junior High
Students Episode in
The Americas Series

The story of Canada's rivers and
the heroes of her early days was told
in dramatization broadcast yes
terday by students of Powell Junior
High School, as part of 'The Amer
icas" series conducted by The Star
and the Junior High School Radio
Committee, with the assistance of
Washington's Blue Network Station.
Relating the saga of such ex-
plorers and soldiers as Cartier,
Champlain, Montcalm and Macken-
zie, the script called on linguistic
talent by the cast. The show bene-
fitted by the presence in some of the
principal roles of two French refugee
children, two young Britons and
French Canadian pupil.
Rivers Recalled.
The broadcast concerned a
Canadian family visiting Washing
ton and preparing to return to their
land to help in war work. Describing
the advantages to be found in both
countries, the group points out the
vast chain of rivers and interlocking
lakes that dominate the topography
of Canada: The Yukon, the Macken-
Zie, the Peace. the Fraser, the
Saskatchewan, the Ottawa and the
st. Lawrence. In its historical
fashbacks, the broadcast related
such incidents as the naming of the
St. Lawrence by Cartier, Champlain'S
explorations around the Great Lakes,
the battle for Quebec by the armies
of Gen. Wolfe and Gen. Montcalm.
The feats of another great Canadian,
the mythical lumberjack, Paul
Bunyan, were recalled as well.
At the close of the program, let
ters which have been received from
students and teachers of Glebe Col
legiate Institute in Ottawa as part
Of the running correspondence be-
tween the two schools since this
broadcast was first planned, were
read by students of Powell Junior
High. w. D. T. Atkinson, principal
of the Glebe Institute, summarized
his schools reaction to the broad
cast as 1OllOWS.

Slezak Turns Farmer
On Bona Eide Farm,

Walter Slezak, stage actor who
makes his film debut in "Once
Upon Honeymoon, the Leo Nc
Carey production for RKO-Radio,
has turned farmer, with the pur-
chase of an 80-acre farm in Bucks
County, Pa.
But I'm outside the genius cir
cult" says Slezak, who has found q
superintendent to take charge. of
and report on work In progress on
live stock.
With a lonSSterm RKo-Radio
contract, Slezak will not have much
time to devote to farming. But
there's satisfaction, he says, in
knowing that he has roots in the
land and that the farm will func-
ton.
TITS not whiskey -and-soda
farm" he says. "It's going to be
run for profit. Guests can come
and 60 and eat all they want; but
anything they take out, from eggs
to chicken, must be paid In cash.

whose blunderings somehow always
managed to turn out all right.
In 1924 Lynn Fontanne and Alfred
Lunt began their joint theatricals in
"The Guardsman," and some see
this association of talents eventually
becoming as famous as the Henry
Irving Ellen Terry or Sothern-M Mar

Their close friendship with Noel
Coward made it professional trio
for the highly successful tour of that
frail and brittle piece of theatrical
fluff known as Private Lives" Later
they tried it again in romantic froth
called Design for Living" which
would have perished without the
quality of acting brought by this
three-star association.

Recently the soldier musical "This

Lunt-Fontanne acting team some
desirable exploitation by spotlighting
their idiosyncrasies in the stage

Colleges Presenting
Eve of St. Mark
With Broadway
BY Lawrence Perry.

North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK.-Now, at long last, in
Maxwell Anderson's new comedy
drama, THE Eve of st. Mark" pre-
sented by the Playwright's Company
at the Cort Theater, we have some
nlng substantial and at all times
sufficiently gripping, to write about.
True, MIR. Anderson's poetic soul
has not failed. as upon occasions in
the past 1t has not failed, to descend
to hokum as a bulwark for ideology.
But since this intellectually disre-
spected element is artistically ap-
Piled and-well, to cut it short, what
is the matter with good hokum any
way. Don't forget that the Jongleur
OF Notre Dame offered it humbly
IN the service of Our Lady to his own
beatification.
Plays on Emotions.
But there is more than hokum
IN this play. There is strong, whole
some, fundamental stuff that pulls
at the heart-strings and catches
at your throat and, above all, brings
the war home to these United States
IN a way that exalts while at the
same time it calls upon emotions
profoundly deep. Our beleaguered
boy soldiers on Bataan rock, out
manned, overpoWered, stricken by
shell. bomb and disease-here is a
powerful theme, and Maxwell An
derson has applied to it his undoubt-
ed powers.
The authors heart was in this
play-it was, written with a soldier
nephew, missing in action in mind.
In the original instance it was not
intended for Broadway. but for the
National Conference which is in
terested in the production, prac-
tlcaly spontaneously, of plays in
college and community theaters
throughout the Nation.
Offered by Colleges.
In other words, Mr.. Anderson
wrote with high sentimental i'm
pulse and Broadway was an after
thought. But the original idea car
ries and it is interesting to note that
upon the night of it's metropolitan
premiere, the Community Players of
Houston, Tex, and Indiana Uni
versity actors were presenting this
play, while companies elsewhere have
preceded its production or will fol-
low within the week. 1t is the first
time, so far as 1 know, that the
legitimate drama has adopted the
film scheme of simultaneous presen-
tatioft. But it is fine that this is so.
because I can think of nothing more
salutary, more awakening, more
eVocative of sentiment than THE Eve
Of st. Mark" 1t iS good for the
whole U. S, A. to see this play.

Broadway will surely evince a
practical and substantial gratitude
for this benefaction. For, aside
