C.. L. to Present
O'Casey Play

The Catholic University depart
ment of speech and drama is open
ing its winter theater season with
Sean O'Casey's Juno and the Pay
cock" considered by many critics
as the greatest Of contemporary
plays.
Completely Irish in every sense
OF the term, the cast for this ambi-
tious production reads like a list
from the famous Abbey Theater
group. Heading the list are such
notable actors as William Coleman,
Mary Finnerty and John Flynn.
Other actors, complete with au-
thentic brogues are James Murphy,
John Reid, Stephen O'Reilly, Sea-
mus Murphy.
Irish plays have long been a spe-
cialty with the Catholic University
theater group, and their production
of The Far OF Hills" with Sarah
Allgood in the staring role, made
theater history here two seasons
ago. Both Mary Finnerty and Cole
man were In that production with
Miss Allgood.
Juno and the Paycock" opens at
the Catholic University Theater on
Wednesday, November II. Season
tickets will be available throughout

a rhythmic delight for those who
prefer ease, lightness and poetry
in motion. Best of the imaginative
conceptions is the opening ballet,
Enchanted Lake" with skates con-
cealed under flowing costumes,
evolving into "Snowmans Land"
with winter sports action centered
around eight giants of crystal
white. This was charmingly intro
duced by Buford McCusker, Jenna
Schultz and Bid McNulty as the
heralds of winter.
Variety of Dancing.
One can find variety of dancing
from ballet to tap, adagio and a
bit of Harlemania vieing with folk
lore of Scotland, and even bit of
the old fashioned square. Featured
in these specialties are Osborn Col
son as a lively Russian, Bob Blake
who taps to the "St. Louis Blues"
Papez and Zwack who illustrate the
ballet form and adagio, the Thomas
Twins, Colson and Claudet, Norah
Mccarthy, Mae Ross and Betty
Atkinson. -
Show stopper last night was Roy
Shipstad, a master of harmony in
movement, whose gyrations and
spins were perfectly timed and skill
fully executed. Betty Atksinson, the
California coed who can tWlrl ba-
tons like drum major, has acquired
a marvellous skill on runners. She
looked from this critical perch as
the attractive ingenue who can soon
challenge Sonia Henie. I Teamed

ing than the physical basis OF this
production was the expert standard
of motion, light and color. There
was superb musical accompaniment
by an orchestra led by Ernest Krat-
Finger.
From every angle this new edition
of Ice Follies is grade A. Nothing
in this world is perfect and, once or
twice last night, these experienced
artists bounced ungracefully, which
merely shows that human skill Is
fallible. But on one score card the
moments of pure JOY added up to a
verdict, fine entertainment.

Germany Admits
Tu|agi Landing
BY UNITED PRESS
Germany, in a Shanghai dispatch,

Germany, in Shanghai dispatch,
admitted Tuesday that the Ameri-
can forces had landed at Tulagi.
A German official news agency
dispatch broadcast by Berlin and
recorded in London made the ad-
mission by asserting that the Un-
tied States troops which landed,
had been "for the greater part de-
stroyed."
This seemed most unlikely, for the
great job was to get the troops
ashore. There has been no sug-
gestion that the Japanese had big
land forces in Tulagi.
Berlin said the final result of the
Solomon island naval battle had
not been established but added that
it could be said that the British
American naval and air forces had
been "smashingly defeated"
This was the first reference to
participation of British forces. Lon
don suggests that the Germans
meant Australian forces.

Isles of Ancient
Bible StoryDa

WASHINGTON, Aug. Il up -
The Solomon Islands, so-named
because they once were believed to
have furnished the gold to adorn
the fabulous temple of King Sol
omon in Jerusalem, still contain
tribes of Melanesian head-hunters
and cannibals.
The present scene of fierce fight
ing between American landing
forces and Japanese island-based
troops is a 900-mile long double
chain of ten large islands and in
Vulnerable smaller ones, which to-
gether have an area twice that of
Massachusetts.
These and other items of infor-
nation about this war torn group
of Melanesian Islands-Such as the
fact that they are subject to sereve
arthquakes-were revealed today
in a bulletin issued by the National
Geographic Society.
FOUND BY SPANISH
They were discovered by Span
ish expedition in 1867, and the
Spanish later attempted to colonize
them. The Spanish first looked for
gold, but was not until 1880 that
some gold was found there.
Until the arrival of the Japanese,
Tulagi was the capital of the chain,
and today it is in the midst of the
fighting. Tulagi Harbor was the
scene of other fighting in this war
when us. Navy planes destroyed
a section of a japanese invasion
fleet there few days before the
battle of the Coral Sea.
The islands lie east of New
Guinea and roughly 1000 miles
northeast of Australia - about a
five-hour flight by bomber Most
of the 10000 natives have resisted
European civilization, and some
tribes still engage in cannibalism
and head hunting expe ditions
against rival natives.
