Gertrude Says Yes
In Simple Language
In Her War PLAY

Miss Gertrude STEMS prose is
popularly supposed to sound bet
ter than it reads. There is an
opportunity to prove this theory
this week at Clendenen Hall OF
American University where Pro-
ductions, Inc. is presenting Miss
STEMS play, Yes Is For a Very
Young Man."
This is one of a dozen or more
plays and operas Miss Stein wrote
and is. according to the published
collection of them, the simplest
in language. There are only oc-
casional flights into repetition and
ALTERATION and these give the
proceedings only a slightly super
natural effect. It's all as though
the author were UNDERSTANDABLE
overpowered by the inadequacy of
words. This technique is, of
course, a refuge from reality in
dramatic writing but it has been
used upon occasion by playwrights
of no lesser standing than Chek-
hov and O'Neill.
The play has a serious theme.
It Is about how French families
are split by the. German occupa-
ton of France. an idea suggested
to her, Miss Stein wrote. by the
stories of American families dur
ing the Civil War. The authors S
sympathieS are with the resistance
movement and she does not hesi-
tate to set them forth in good,
long speeches.
The leading roles-and a pro-
digious amount of memory work
goes into them-are taken by
Barbara Joyce, Beatrice Newport,
Woodruff Morgan and Vincent
Donehue. Patricia Coates was the
director.
Performances will be given each
evening this week through Friday

The Challenge OF Christmas

Peace on Earth and Goodwill to oil Men, is the
essence and spirit of Christmas ond it is the Challenge
OF the Ages. 1t denotes the importance of universal
brotherhood Even in world filled with tragedy, hope
lessness, bitterness and hate, Christmas good
will good cheer TO all of US Even though we are living
today in so-colled peaceful world surrounded
with the frey clouds of wor, all because the Motions
of the World not willing to accept the philosophy
of the Prince of Peace
Can mankind look forward nine hundred and forty
eight years after the birth of Christ life in world
where the principles our Saviour touqht to humanity
will be procteed in truth? We state that this is the
Great Challenge, not only to the American people but
to the peoples of the world The Birth of the Christ

the people of the world Probably in thot doy as in

Bethlehem unsympothetic unthoughtfu and heort

y ofoirs to give recognition to Mary and Joseph, so
that the Bobe of Bethlehem could be born in home in
stead of Moneer Under those circumstances it is very
obvious that the people did not show the spirit of human
decency and human dignity
Humony is still suffering today due TO the lack of
interest manifested in the Iioht of human problems
among the Nations of the World We can not enjoy
the spirit of Christmas and whot it stands for until the
Fotherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man is ex-
emplified in actions and the principles Of Christ
realized in every day activities. We may try to
egsote all the lows of the command of our Govern
ment to bring these principles into action but lest we
forget cannot IegisIote human decency and human
dignity
These principles must be within the hearts of all
the people. We do not need any Iows save those He,
