TIMELY DRAMA AT
 PLAZA THEATER
"TOmOrrOw's Children Starting 5.Day Engage. ment Sunday

One of the timeliest of subjects forms the background theme for the tensely dramatic picture, "Tomor- rows Children" which comes to the Plaza theater Sunday.
 Based on an actual happening in one of the larger cities of the United States, in state where sterilization laws exist. "Tomorrow's Children" Is a tense, gripping drama.
 This picture does not take sides with either of those who assail sterilization of the unfit nor sup- porters of the movement, but rather, concerns itself with telling a straightforward dramatic story in which the near sterilization of an innocent girl brings tragedy perl lously close to an entire family.
 Sterilization today is one of the most widely discussed and contro- versial of political subjects and in the motion picture, Tomorrow s Children" there is much food for thought, according to those who have seen the picture preViewed.
 Whether or not sterilization is the correct method for improving the human race, the fact remains that at this time there are 27 states in

CoulouriS has directed this pro- duction and has surrounded him. self with cast of capable people, outstanding of whom is Philip Bourneuf as the Duke of Bucking- ham. The play has been edited into two acts and is played in unit set of two levels, with lighting and use of different levels denoting the changes of scene.
 The play, of course, is not one of ShakeSpeare's best and despite its melodrama piled upon melodrama it does become something of bore even with the present Streamlined production. CoulouriS, as capable and versatile an actor as our stage has, gives workmanlike perform ance and keeps a close rein on the character he is portraying. have a suspicion that things might have been a bit more alive here and there had he "hammed it up" bit, but he played the character as he saw it and you can't quarrel with that.
 Others in important roles are Harry Irvine as King Henry VI, Tom Rutherford as King Henry ", Anthony Kemble Cooper as Lord Hastings, Mildred Dunnock as the queen, Nora Chambers and Helen Warren.
 The play is presented by Theater Productions.
 It will be recalled that last sea- son neither prize was awarded be- cause the judges figured that none of the 194l-42 productions merited and official nod. Of the three above, it seems to me that Wilder's play we'll deserves both awards, but there is strong support for both of the others among some members of the Critics Circle. No one ever knows about the Pulitzer committee; in fact, there are some who claim that no one even knows the Pulitzer Committee, and that, on some of its past performances, this is just as well for all concerned.
 The critics award will be made known later this month, and the Pulitzer Prize will be announced early in May.
