keep his hero a man of human d.
menSions, even though six of the
passages deal with the mature JET
ferson in battle for the preservation
OF the Declaration of Independence
After f1eeting glimpses of the man
as the author of the Declaration and
as the POLITICALLY intense young lover
the play concentrates upon the
period when Jefferson was Wash
ington's Secretary of State. He was
then a grieving widower, the be-
reaved lover who wanted to return
to Monticello to be father to his
two children and philosopher of the
democracy he had helped to estab-
lish. But he was also the idealist
and tearing at him was the in
escapable urgency to return to
political life to defend the rights
he saw established in the Dec
laration.
1t is a dramatic conflict, worthy
of a whole play, but it is touched
only fleetingly as this one moves
on to the more dramatic struggles
between Jefferson and the Federalist
group, headed by Alexander Ham
ilton, which doubted the ability of
the masses to rule themselves. The
inner conflict is never rejected as
the play unfolds. but it is wisely
subordinated to the other to height
en- the total drama OF "The Pa
triots."
Mr.. Hamilton is the villain of
Kingsley's play, an estimate that
is perhaps not entirely unchallenge-
able. His brilliance is readily con-
cealed by the author, but it is pic
tured as directed toward the end of
personal power until a weary, lonely
almost broken Jefferson convinced

Czech Contralto
WELCOMED at
Phillips Gallery
n ELENA de SAYN,

Rose Delmar, Czechoslovakian
contralto, who comes to us from the
European continent, was presented
last night at the Phillips Gallery
under the auspices Of the Washing
ton Music Teachers Association.
The auditorium was well filled by
an interested audience which gave
the singer q cordial welcome.
Miss Dellnar's program consisted
Of well-known German lieder by
Schubert, Brahms and Strauss, tho

from Massenet's opera "Werther,"

18th century, "Lisette Dormait" and
Paris est au Roi and Two" Dvorak's
Gypsy Songs" presented in Czecho-
slovakian.
Already in the opening numbers,
Bach's "Mein Jesu" and Rossi's "Ah,
Rendimi," the singer disclosed
good diction and q voice Of range
and quality, the deep chest tones Of
which, in the latter selection, SEEM
ed especially vibrant and beautiful.
It Is unquestionable that the Ger
man singing teachers Of the 18th
century had their idea Of bel canto
which found perfect exponents in
Liln Lehmann-Kailisch, Ernestine
Schumann-Heink, Elena Gerhardt,
Julia Culp and others of that period,
whose perfect vocal placement pro-
vided enjoyment In spite of their
limited declamatory endowment.
Singers like Ludwig Wuellner, at
the beginning of the Goth century,
Helene Staegemann, Baroness Won
Wohlzogen, Leontine de Alma, wife
Of Richard Strauss, with limited
vocal powers and, possibly, training,

THE PATRIOTS" q drama in three
acts presented by the Playwrights' Com
pany with Walter Hampden, Cecil Hum
phreys, Julie Hayden and Guy Sorel, writ
ten by Sidney Kingsley, directed by Shep-
herd Traube. with lighting by Moe Hack.
Evening star., 1943-11-30

From Hollywood to portray Jef1er-
son, rewards the play with a worthy
performance, but one which is no
whit more convincing than that of
Mr.. Sorel as the unscrupulous, aris-
tocratic Hamilton. Other engaging
impersonati tions are those of Cecil
Humphreys as very human Wash
ington who might have been statu-
esque instead, Of Julie Hayden and
Marie Dow as the Jefferson daugh-
ter and wife. respectively; Sonya
Stokowski as the naughty Mrs.
Hamilton, Ross Matthew as the
judicial genius, James Madison, and
John P. Boyd as the tempestuous
James Monroe.
The remainder of the cast is suit
ably competent and Howard Bays
imaginative settings and Sheperd
Traube's direction add their funda-
mental excellences to an impressive
evening of theater.

which has more in it than meets the
eye, which is the best explanat ton
why it won last seasons Critics
Prize.

over It's baSeneSS. If the circum-
stance of jeopardy to human rights
gives his statement a special elo-
quence beyond that of its authors
utterance, that makes an evening
at THE Patriots" merely that much
more rewarding and exciting.
Sergt. Kingsley (his rank when
he wrote the play, has done more
than present an X-ray of democ-
racy's most inspired statesman. In
the very human terms of jefferson s
personal battle for human rights,
he reviews the stormy birth of mans
most hopeful political structure.
In doing honor to the man and to
the ideal of the republic for which
he suffered SO acutely the implicit
drama in his play is greater, per-
haps, than that inherent in it.
That is to say, the playwright, his
cast and his theme get a great deal
of support from the audience, a
test which most dramatic writing
fails in these times. The players
figuring most prominently in this
happy effect, under the sponsorship
of the Playwrights' Company and
Roland Stebbins, include Walter
Hampden, Cecil Humphries, Guy
Sorel and Julie Hayden, all of whom
give satisfactory representations of
the personages they represent.

Campaign TO Return
to Incentive Pay
By sILER FREEMAN

The Automotive News today
came out with its solution 10 the

establish the incentive basis for

In an article entitled How to

ing" the automotive trade pub
lication states:
"The nations industries can
solve their own labor shortage
problem with present employees
and In addition free enough
workers now working in plants
to take care of the estimated
number of workers needed for

most experienced production
heads In the automotive in

"All that's needed to accom-
plish this would he to let in
dustry return 10 the incentive
basis Of paying industrial work
ers, one that not only made the
automotive. industry the world
leader In mass production but
established its workers as the
worlds highest paid employees.
war Manpower Commission
claims that an Increase of 2,500,-
900 workers Of all types will be
needed TO take care of the In
creased production and farm
needs for the coming year. This
agency also prophesies that the
present employment Of 16,500,-
900 In all types Of manufacture
ing will be increased 10 18,6O0,-
600 by December, 19i3.
