Rebels Empire
Brings Melodrama
Toe. u. Theater

There apparently is polite ira
dition in some theatrical quarters
that history is a heavy and pom
derous affair which must be dropped
on a stage with a dull thud, Vic
toria Kuhn, author of Catholic
Uriversity's new play, which had its
premiere at the University Theater
last night, has not violated any
traditions. Her Rebels Empire is
a creakingly theatrical piece, full Of
words tumbling over themselves on
the way to nowhere.
Miss Kuhn's play apparently says
and this is only guess-that free
men will fight for freedom and that
you can not bargain with God. Both
of these points are well taken and
there is no denying their truth. The
moral, however, does not make the
play.
The author of Rebels Empire"
has chosen as her hero the Nine
teenth Century Austrian chancellor,
Prince Metternich. The chancellor.
she seems to be So ling, was ruth
less man in the face of rebellion only
because of religious confusion. He
married a beautiful girl named An
tonia and by her was convinced that
freedom for the oppressed is the only
true justice. Then Antonia. taken
with a fever, died and Prince Met
ternich was convinced that God
had broken a bargain with him. had
given him the means to see truth
and then taken it away. He re-
tanned his religion. perhaps, but the
principles of Christianity did not
guide his chancellorship.
That is what Miss Kuhn seems
to be saying. She says it in such
confused way, though, that it is
hard to be sure. He prose is both
stilted and f1owery. It always seems
almost ready to rhyme. OF course
Dick Sykes, who plays Metternich,
could make the simple statement
that il looked like rain sound like
something out of the Old Testa-
ment, or at the very least. Maxwell
Anderson. The words Miss Kuhn
has given all of her players to say,
though, are not the sort that permit
them to make any show of convic-
ton.
The sad fact is that Rebels En-
pire" would have looked quite at
home on the stage of the late, Ia
merted Roadside Theater, which
was dedicated to the Dion Boucicault
school of playwriting.
The Rev. Gilbert v. Hartke, who
directed, has allowed Mr.. Sykes and
j. Robert Dietz to work themselves
into a melodramatic state on sew
eral occasions, but for the most
part the cast has the well-schooled
look you expect of Catholic Univer-
sity players. Arthur Conescu, as
the Italian voice of freedom, is per-
haps the best of them. In the third

"Wi!d Harvest" the new picture
at the Warner Theater, is notable
at least, for being about wheat har-
vesting. Wheat harvesting is what
few pictures are about. Apart from
this, undistinguished is the word
for it. Undistinguishable is another
word. since, If it did not have its
combines slashing through the
wheat fields, you could not distin-
suish it from many another film OF
its type. 1t might we'll have been
titled Captain Flagg and Sergeant
Quirt in Nebraska.
wild Harvest" is the story of a
wild harvesting outfit led by young
adventurer who sees in this busi-
ness quick way to make~a fortune
in a summer. He is aided by an old
drinking companion who pays the
freight bill on the equipment to get
the outfit started and comes along
to get his share of the swag by act
ing as mechanical genius. which, ap-
parentiy is something The modern
combine never should be without
Maybe they're not putting the stuff
in them since the war.
This brawling duo is set at odds
by number of things. The major
one is a farmers niece they en-
counter while cutting their swath
from Texas to Canada with the har-
vest. An elementary type, this mid
western lass falls madly in love with
the leader of the harvest crew the
moment she lays eyes on him and
escorts him out to the barn. Before
anything can come of her designs,
he is called away by his harvesting
duties, but she proves her true love
for him all right. She marries his
chum just to be near him. No good
ever comes of this, you might just as
we'll be warned.
Dorothy Lamour, Alan Ladd,
Robert preston. Lloyd Nolan and a
number of other dusty people play
this as if it were a satire on rugged
adventure films of its type. Tay
Garnett has directed it in the same
mood. Maybe it is supposed to be
satire. If it is. it is too subtle.
