NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
When the New York City Center
Theater, a sort of community
playhouse, began operations a few
seasons ago, it was fortunate in
Ipersuading leading stage. screen
and radio stars to give q few
weeks of their time to bring the
public back to the living theater
The movement got the CO.
operation of such major stars as
Maurice Evans, Dennis King
Ruth Chatterton, Kent Smith,
Celeste Holm. Lee Tracy. Brian
Ahern and other celebrated names
in the entertainment industry.
But although 1t could find the
stars willing to lend their services,
the City Center encountered some
trouble in finding play manu-
scripts which would match up
to the talents Of their stars. So
they went back to proven dr&
matte classics as imperishable as
Hamlet" Anna Christie" or
The Wild Duck"

Last week Maurice Evans, d.
rector Of the City Center Theater.
opened in Ibsen's THE Wild
Duck" with himself az both act
ing star and director. 1t Is a
continuation Of the programs of
classic revivals which the City
Center has presented in the last
several seasons.
In 1850 Evans, co-starring with
Dennis King and Marsha Hunt
appeared in THE Devils Dis
ciple." Later Edna Best and
other stars revived Bernard
Shaw's Captain Brassbound's &
Conversion" Then came a return
of Robert E. Sherwood's hit OF
1886. Idiots Delight" Lee Tracy
and Ruth Chatterton came back
from the movies and their stage
road tours to play the leading
roles in this one.
Then Evans returned with Kent
Smith in a revival of Evans
previous revival of Richard H.
The starring performers return
often to do performances for the
City Center. AS another example

tendency In his playwriting def
nitely was Influenced by Ibsen's
characterizations in such plays as

"Ibsen made almost comic dis

wrote to prove he was a critical
