Florentines were dopes. including
Cellini.
Granted it was lively. every af-
falr was q passing fancy-paSsing
at a pace that probably still has
left its mark on the place.
There are no Bobby Clarks
among the Arena players, in fact
there is only one anywhere, but
Director Fichandler has found
some energetic limitations. She
discovered some of them in. of
all places. the cast of Faith of
Our Fathers" which closed last
Saturday night and. thus made
some new actors available for
downtown Jobs. Other fresh tai
ents in "The Firebrand" have
come from summer theater COM
panies which rarely outlast Labor
Day. if
Miss Fichandler has wisely de-
manded nothing of subtlety from
her "Firehrand' younger set. She
may actually have commanded
them to cut loose on the assump-
tion that love was violent elixir
back in Florence's salad days.
Certainly there is no sign that
Gordon Sterne is playing under
any wraps, save his velvet costume,
in the role of Cellini. His charac-
ter Is Cellini, the philanderer, a
Don Juan who happens at the
moment to have been driven mad
by looking too steadily upon the
form of his model, Angela. This
is a definitely unhinging expert
ence. 1t is full of such complica-
tions as that Angela is not a girl
of discriminating taste, that the
Duke is rake who wants the
maid for himself. and that the
middle-aged Duchess thinks Gel
lini is handsomer than his statues
and vases.
Actor Sterne, just lets himself
go and comes up with a Cellini
like the one Mayer had in mind,
a boaster, a conniver. and an all
out lover who never is quite GER
tain which bedroom is which.
Henry Oliver as the frankly
lecherous Duke of Florence is
blessed with the best farce role
in The Firebrand" and he is
vastly more at home in it than
as the pathetic Lennie in "Of
Mice and Men"
There is an entirely new set of
women in the third Arena Stage
production and while they falter
here and there, they have a rea-
sonably firm idea of what their
duties are. The part of the de-
sirahle Angela. who herself seems
quite untouched by desires, is
played by Jacqueline Dudley. An
occasional line gets away from
Miss Dudley. but in the main she
suggests a model for whom an ar
tist like Cellini and a Duke like
Mayors might make an intense
play. -
The most satisfying of the
feminine newcomers is Angela
Miles as the Duchess whose politi-
cally favored pursuit of Cellini
lis one of the farce's liveliest
qualities.
Evelyn Ernest, Lester Rawlins.
Sterling Saul and Pernell Roberts
are the best Of the others in a
cast that makes Arenas third
offering an amusing revival.
Old Florentines could not have
had the slightest idea how useful
they would be in 1850 to Washing
tons first theater-in-th round.
Or how well they fit into the form
their own prosceniua theater
made obsolete through the in
tervening centuries.

Sewing on UpsWing
By EIeni
Fa shion Editor
This week Is designated &c!

This week Is designated "Sew
and Save Week" 1t is fitting right
at this time that such a week be
set aside If only to acquaint wom-
en- who don't already know, with
the almost startling facts about
home sewing:
1t seems what may have orig
inally started out as a hobby
has turned into favorite pastime
for many American women. Tradi-
tionally the Sewing circle" was
for rather elderly ladies. If sta
tistics are correct (and We'll stick
with them with the exception of
political polls) then the sewing
circles" average age is getting
younger and younger. Women be-
tween Is and "A are the largest
group sewing today. Said group
numbers over 35 million women.
But the truly amazing thing is
that over 5 million teenagers are
finding time to break away from
some other activities in order to
learn how to sew at various sew
ing centers throughout the Ma
ton. With the 16-hour courses
they get started the right way
from the beginning learning the
fundamentals of sewing.
Their mothers are also evincing
as much interest in sewing by en-
rolling, also. Close to y million
women are taking lessons at sew
ing centers scattered throughout
the country.
Various reasons are given fol
the popularity of home sewing
One is the high cost of clothing
Another the variety one can pos
sess in a wardrobe at less cost by
making the garment herself
Others sew because they are un-
able to locate items needed in a
wardrobe or their homes in ex-
actly style, color, and price range
they can afford. Not to be over
looked is the person who in sew
ing finds great creative outlet
for their talents.
We discovered that all income
groups have women in them who
sew extensively for themselves
and their children. Taking the
country by sections we found that
the South leads in the number OF
women who do home sewing. OF
these women who sew, dresses are
the No. l favorites. Children's
clothes come next and then items
for home use.
Sewing has been made easier
through much equipment that has
been newly designed or improved
upon from the time it was first
introduced. Innovations are con-
stantly CROPPING up. These in
clude many sewing machine at
tachments and even sewing ma

too, there are many short cuts

Women who sew read up a great
deal on the subject. They follow
fashion trends and are ever eager
to know about new developments
In the field of home sewing. The
following are some of the publica-
tions that will be of interest to
sewers.

WILLIAMSBURG
SnoWboIIs

Another one of those recipes
for which restored Williamsburg
is famous is called Williamsburg
Snowballs." The original recipe
is dated 1887, and it has been
adapted for modern use by the
Market Square Tavern Kitchen
in Williamsburg.
Peel and core 6 nice large
apples. Fill the cavities with
orange marmalade. Then make
paste of "a cup of butter, "a
cup brown sugar. 4 teaspoons of
cinnamon and teaspoon each of
allspice and nutmeg. Spread
each apple with the paste and
then wrap each apple in fine pas

achieved realization through the
expert cooperation of the people
who manufacture the items.
Take, for example, the request
of many home sewers for "pleats
by the yard" Now on the market
in many high style new spring
colors are "pleats by the yard"
in permanently pleated nylon.
Tedious stitching by hand was
one thing many women wished
would be eliminated. Comes news
the other day that there's new
blind stitch attachment for sew
ing machines to do away with this
little problem. Other women have
wanted a folding yardstick. easy
to tuck away in a sewing basket or
tray. Now there's on the market
a 36-inch measuring stick made
of washable. lightweight plastic.
With these aids the home
made" look is far from evident.
True, the sewer should be prop
erly trained.
A few rules in home sewing
state that the right equipment be
on hand before starting to sew.
Cutting into an expensive piece of
fabric without first understanding
both fabric and working tech
nique is a great mistake. That is
why most sewing centers warn
against the beginners taking on
a difficult pattern or applying a
newly learned technique before
they have mastered it.
A good dressmaking book should
be on hand when you sew to help
you if you are beginner or an
advanced sewer. The index will
direct you Immediately if you are
perplexed about a difficult lining,
measurements, buttonholes, cut
ting. darts, tailoring, pressing,
shocking, padding. or whatever
may be your immediate sewing
problem at the moment. A good
idea if you plan to sew extern
sively is to devote a set space to
your sewing activities. Some
women devote an entire room to it.
