teacher at Catholic University
John T. Dugan. AS any bookisl
Dugan might, he has written
romantic slapstick on manners il
the medieval East. 1.-THE Crescen
Moon" is the title of the work an,
although it is unlikely to max
history as satirical comedy, tn,
liberties it takes with history ar,
refreshingly larkish.
"The Crescent Moon" is imag
inatively staged and played by (
cast which is obviously glad to b,
avenged on medieval history. Onct
1T gets away from the barrier
which looks dubious for most Of
the first act, it is moderately en-.
tertaining.
Playwright Dugan is honorable
enough to face up to the fact that
he just wants to play with q
pretty good idea and brave enough
to resort to more outrageous puns
than one hears at a fraternity
house dinner table. He has written
enough of other and bright dia-
logue in "The Crescent Moon" to
prove the puns are always either
deliberate or malicious.
u II 4 4
There is a story running through
"The Crescent Moon" but this is
merely a bow to the convention
that there should be some such.
Not otherwise could the romantic
comedy have even such a begin
ming, middle, and an end as it
has.
Since he is not paying for his
actors, Dugan's play can afford
to be prodigal. It takes what ap-
pears to be dozens to act out the
loose fable Of a princeling who
is assigned to knock off Samar-
kand and the Western Empire of
Genghis Khan for what it did to
his people 20 years before.
The prince. an Enrol Flynn type
(the public Flynn not the private
one), is more interesting than per-
feet. In spite of his tender years,
godlike masculinity and skill in
war, he is notoriously absent
minded. He is always forgetting
his sword, which is bad enough,
but what is worse is his inability
to remember that vengeance is the
object of his military campaign.
Like so many Fasteners, he never
can resist an opportunity to ex-
change proverbs with any poten-
tial listener. Another flaw in his
nature is a tendency to f1irt fatally
with the fiery princess whom he
had intended to carve into unat-.
tractive bits.
Finally, of course, he completes
his mission after considerable
burlesque shadow boxing with
most of the cliches of a plot the
movies have made notoriously
familiar.
Father Gilbert ". Hartke, as
director. and some of, the abler
comic talents Of the C. u. drama
group team up nicely to make
much Of "The Crescent Moon"
merry.
Best of Dramatist Dugan's
characters is the princeling played

Modern MurriuQe

a good authority, SociologiSt
James H. s. Bossard of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. He
shows IL ways In which q dog
affects the lives of a family:
I. The dog is an outlet for af-
fection. This is its basic service
and chief reason for its presence
in most homes.
| 2. The dog serves each member
of the family according to his or
her particular need. .>5J
3. The dog provides the chal-
lenge of a continuing responsible
ity, and this. obviously, is one oi
life's major and maturing expert
ences.
4. The dog is one Of the best
vehicles for parents to use In
training Of children. Self-disci-
lpline evolves as an accessory be-
fore the fact Of imposing a dis
cipline upon some one else.
5. The dog is possibly the best
available vehicle for parents to
use in the sex education of their
children.
6. The dog is a satisfactory VIC
tim Of personal needs of ego salts
faction. When things have gone
wrong elsewhere and you feel like
taking it out on, some one, there
| is Fido waiting for you.
Z. Akin to this is the fact that
the dog satisfies the very human
longing or desire for power.
8. A dog accustoms one to the
idea Of the normality Of physical
processes.
8. BY the, time one has walked
a dog for a few months, one is
sure to have markedly increased
the range Of ones acquaintances
10. Similarly. a dog serves as an
effective and continuing subject
of family conversation.
/ II. Finally, a dog offers COM
lpanionship to each according to
his need.
I have condensed DR.. Bossard's
points slightly but these are his
basic ideas. II the landlord and
the neighbors don't object, let the
boys have q dog. Many families
make it a rule that children can
keep q dog as long as they take
proper care of it. When they
begin to neglect it, fail to feed 1t
or to wash it and leave all the
work to mother, they have to give
lup the dog. You might try that
lplan If you think the boys are
Igoing to impose on you. But give
them q chance, Mrs. ".
