Uncle Harry" reappearing with
National this week.
From the very first scene you
know who the murderer is. The in
terest and suspense don't lie in
who did it, but how 1t was done
and why. This has advantages
Since the play doesn't depend on
surprise "a very temporary quality,
critics and play-goers being what
they are), it takes on new life with
every set of players. "Uncle Harry"
may well be easing across the Ma
tons stages for years to come. Were
1t not for the fact plays Of char
acter are the hardest to write, there
might well be rash of them. Few
playwrights, however, can produce
the masterpiece of craftsmanship
turned out in Uncle Harry" by
Thomas Job.
r. t*
The play opens in a tavern, years
after the murder that Uncle Harry
is openly confessing and the story
is told in flash-back. It is a tale
OF the Quincy family-and Uncle
Harry is meekly living the life of a
brother spoiled by two sisters, each
of whom is jealous of him. So pos
sessive are they, he has lost the
girl he loves and faces life of lis
tening to the two old girls pickering.
In the version to be seen this
week, the role of Uncle Harry is
played by Luther Adler, last seen
in Washington in The Russian
People" and particularly well known
for his work in the Clifford Odets

GL0RIFYING

NEA Staff Writer

What can you do for gray hair"
asks a reader, that emerges from
a permanent a sickly yellow?"
That discoloration caused by heat,
to which some snowy crests are par
ticularly susceptible-and to the
heat of the sun and hair dryers as
Well-can be Cancelled out, if you'll
use bluing rinses with a violet un1
dertone.
But it's always wise to make a
color test on an obscure strand Of
hair before submerging the whole
head in a violet rinse. Other
wise you may come out with an un-
expected color-this time pink.
When you've tested out the
strength of your color rinse and
have hit upon a shade that suits
you, make up your mind to watch
out for the yellow hazard in tE>
future. Next time you get a perma-
nent, see that an oil solution-not
acids-are used; minimum amount
of heat is applied; metal reds arc
wrapped with cellophane or some
other protective shield that keeps
your hair safe from metallic stains.
Don't expose your hair to the sun
Ask your beauty shop operator to
breeze it dry with a hand blower;
not with heated helmet.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

The Golden Text of the Sunday
lesson sermon on Man in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist. in Boston, is from Psalms, and
reads: Praise waiteth for thee, 0
God, in Sion: Blessed is the
man whom thou choosest, and caus-
est to approach unto thee, that he
may dwell in thy courts"
Rise, take UP thy bed, and
walk" commanded Jesus of the
impotent man at the pool of Beth
esda. And according to Johns
Gospel, Immediately the man was
made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: . And therefore did
the Jews persecute Jesus, be-
cause he had done these things on
the sabbath cay. But Jesus answer
ed them, My Father worketh hith-
erto, and I work j.. he Son can do
nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: . For the
Father loveth the Son, and sheweth
him all things that himself doeth."
God will heal the sick through
man, whenever man is governed by
God," writes Mary Baker Ecdy in
Science and Health with Key to

Truth casts out error now as sure
ly as it did nineteen centuries ago."

.OPA Removes Set
Of Point Values

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. CUP)-
The Office OF Price Administration
Friday removed point values on all
raw dry beans; apple, apricot, peach
and grape butter, and prune juice
for September. It also reduced
points on mixed canned vegetables,
but boosted the values on pineapple
juice, small-size cans of tomato
juice, and Vacuum-packed corn.
These changes, along with previ-
Cusly announced point increases for
canned milk and some cheeses, are
the only major revisions in point
values for the new ration period
which begins Sunday and extends
through September 80.
Meats, creamery butter, marga-
rine and American and cream
cheese will keep the present red
point values for September
Only tomato juice in can sizes
ranging downward from IA ounces
were increased in point value. In
creases range from one point for
the seven-ounce container to three
points for the 14-ounce size.
Pineapple juice jumped 10 points
to a new value of 25 points for the
No. 2 can. A reduction of five points
for succotash, mixtures of carrots
and peas, and other vegetable COM
binations gives these items new
value of five points for the No. 2
can.
Whole kernel, vacuum packed
corn in 12-ounce sized cans was
increased in value from three to
five points.

Famed Cathedral
Remains Un1urt
BY ROBERT RICHARDS

REIMS, France, Aug. 30-tDe-
layed)-UP)-The world famous
Cathedral of Notre Dame stood un-
damaged and serene in the late aft
ernocn sun today as American ar
NOR Streamed past in pursuit of the
fleeing Germans.
Many of the city's inhabitants
told me they had expected their
city to be turned into flaming ruins
and their ancient cathedral crum-
bled as they were in World War l.
But the Germans pulled out ahead
of the advancing Americans.
The relieved Frenchmen gathered
in groups to stare silently at the
cathedral which is in the heart of
the city. They had done their best
to protect it by stacking sandbags
half way up the front and by hasti-
ly constructing wooden frames
around the statueS-scant protec-
ton had tank battle developed in
the neighborhood.
The great center altar was shut
OIL by IRON gates. Only three OF
the famous stained windows re-
mained in the frames. One wCr-
shipper said the other windows had
been hidden since 1899.
The watchers showed only little
of the enthusiasm which greeted
the Americans in other French
cities They were friendly waving
occasionally and smiling, but there
were few cheers and none of the
eager cheek kissing.
Some said this was because the
inhabitants were bewildered by the
turn of events, were stunned by
happiness, or had spent their high
spirits in an earlier demonstration
celebrating the Sparing of the city.
They have memories CT the horror
of the other war which made Reims
a battle-ground.
