Not Easy To Digest

My day with Laurence Olivier:
 At l P. M. to the Century Theater to watch some 800 high school stu dents watch the English star and other members of the Old Vic Con- pany go through a dress rehearsal of Chekov's Uncle Vanya" prior to the premiere in the evening. I gathered that the kids didn't take too kindly to the Russian dramatist.
 Late in the afternoon to a pre- view of Henry V," 8 technicolor film based on Shakespeare's play of the same name. Starring in the title role, Laurence Olivier: pro- ducer, Laurence Olivier; director, ditto.
 This is the film that has been shown only in Boston so far. It opens in Los Angeles June IA and at the City Center here June IT. The Theater Guild is it's American sponsor. It may be art but 1t isn't going to be the special dish of the average American movle-goer.
 In the evening back to the Gen. tury for the premiere of Uncle Vanya." The charm and tenderness that I still remember as making Jed Harris revival of the play 16 years ago an excellent thing is lacking. Half Of the long evening bordered dangerously on a burlesque of the classic.

Council Of Catholic Women EnroHs 4,O54
 Rev. John J. Kelly Outlines
 Pope's Advice on Woman's Duties

The 1946 membership drive of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Wo- men officially closed last night al an open meeting of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service at 56 Church Street. With returns from 1s parishes, twelve of these incom- plete, the membership totaled last night was 4,054 which is $50 more than the complete membership of 1045.
 Mrs. Ruth LaVallee, membership chairman stated that iti expec- ted that the 5000 goal will have been reached on the occasion of the silver jubilee meeting June r at the Hotel Elton.
 She announced that the canvass will continue in those parishes where it is incomplete.
 WOmen'S Duties Outlined
 The Rev. John J. Kelly, assistant at the Church of the Sacred Heart, the parish which leads in the coun- Gil membership with 569 although incomplete, was guest speaker last night. Father Kelly, honorary chairman of the drive in the Sac red Heart parish, said that al- though he had previously been en- gagged in work that dealt with social problems and youth movements, this was the first time he had wor- ked with a woman's organization. He addressed the group on the re- cent broadcasts of Pope Plus XII as regards ''woman'S duties in soc- ial and political life"
 He said in part: 'The very heart of this problem of woman,s rights both in its entiretly and in all its
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-14

many details resolves itself into preserving and augmenting that dignity which woman has from Goo in God"
 He stated that in this dignity as child of God, woman is mans equal, not by an undignified, even freakish masquerading as man; but by fidelity to and development of those qualities which characterize her as woman"
 Repeating the words of the Pope, Father Kelly said that motherhood was woman's native bent, and be- cause of the maternal instinct" a real woman can see all the problems Of human life only in the perspec- tive of the family. She is instinc- lively on her guard against social or political orde rthat threatens to prejudice her mission aS mother or threatens the good of the family" "
 Women Must Lead
 Father Kelly warned that the present social and political situation is obviously an enmey to the home and the dignity of woman." He said that Pope Plus advice to women to take her place in public life, uS- ing her influence in the social, poli- tical and domestic problems of the day is the remedy to combat these existing disorders.
 Every woman has this obligation, he said, to take responsibilities where men have failed, and in clos ing said: How can this be &C., complished better than by your na- tional organization of the Council of Catholic Women?"
 A social hour followed Father Kelly's address. It was directed by the women of the Sacred Heart parish.
 A meeting of the executive board was held at 7:3O at which Miss Lucy BoweS presided Mrs. Laval ee conducted the open meeting and made the parish by parish report on the membershi ptotals. In the Sacred Heart parish Father Kelly was assisted by Mrs. Charles Han rahan and Miss Mary Schmidt, CO., chairmen.

 In splitting with Ballet Theater, Hurok takes away the two biggest stars in the game for his Russian" group-Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin (Patrick Healey Kay) both natives of England. He also will have such topnotchers as Rosella Hightower of Oklahoma and Andre Eglevsky, who actually is a Russian.
