She Is a wonderful woman for a
playwright's purposes, and Miss Lord
accomplishes all the purposes VIII

Happily for the comedy of the

enchanting innocence, beloved ac-

who write them.
This was how it seemed to many
of those who went to see 1.-The Glass
Menagerie" last night at the Ma
tional. But, in seeing it, they knew
that this was not how 1t actually
was. Tennessee Williams wrote a
gentle, wryly laughing, sad and
touching drama that could, and
did, survive even Laurette Taylor.
1t did this because Pauline Lord
stepped into the mother role and,
playing 1t her way, gave it all over
again a wistful, humorous fascina-
ton which goes to show Williams
Is an engaging young playwright
to have around. Any other actresses
he may write out of retirement

can give.

himself, and his loss, and Julie
Haydon's, might properly make a
difference, but they do not. Bowling
still remains around as director o1
this all-new team and he has seen
to it that nothing Is lost. 1t might
even be that, on the whole, 1.-THE
Glass Menagerie" is little less sad
between those laughs of which it
always has been so sure.
"The Glass Menagerie" might well
have been called a comedy in the
fashionably loose sense of the word
It is so much merrier than many
plays which make brash use of the
label. williams was right, however
in not calling his play comedy
There Is always an element of sur
prise in the gayety his work evokes,
as If this laughter somehow is not
quite right, but is too deep and clean
to be wrong.
ASaevery one surely must know by

what Williams does with them. 1t
is the essence of his plays strange
charm, and creates the feeling that
here is a poet masquerading as a

eXpertly.
Anther surprise of 1.-THE Glass

out in multiple seeings-is that the

may be that mothers are inevitably

Sued by 10 Veterans

Ten veterans who had made down
payments for new homes with STAN
ley P. Hough, Arlington builder and
contractor, filed suit at District
Court today asking a total of $780,
600 damages from the Hyattsville
Building Association, 819 Fourteenth
street NV.
The suit charged the corporation
failed to carry out an agreement for
loans of approximately $4,000 on
each home and thereby halted their
completion.
Attorney James J. Laughlin,
through whom the suit was filed
said the 10 plaintiffs are among %
veterans for whom plans were made
for homes on nine acres of land
bought by Hough at Oxon Hill, Md,
last year.
Last week Hough filed suit asking
$4,000 damages from the associa-
ton, charging it with being respon-
sible for failure of the project or
the contention it did not carry out
an agreement to finance it.
Today's suit said that because OF
the corporations failure to carry out
the alleged loan agreement, the vet
erans have been unable to recover
sums of approximately $500 they
paid Hough, since that money went
into the purchase OF land and initial
cost of construction.
Hough will be tried in Alexandra
