ATTRACTION AT ROBIN HOOD
'SThe Enchanted" A Comedy, To
Begin Engagement August IL

Begin Engagement August 12
What is generally acknowledge
ed to be one of the greatest plays
of recent European theatrical his
tory has been scheduled as the
next attraction at the Robin Hood
Theatre, for an engagement of
one week beginning August 18th.
This is the comedy called ''The
Enchanted, by Jean Giraudoux
whose work began to be known
to most American theatre-goers
only when his fantasy, "The Mad
Woman of Chaillot" was success
fully produced in New York four
years after the authors death.
AS was the case of "The Mad
Woman" the English adaptation
of 'The Enchanted" has been
made by Columbia professor
Maurice Vallency and according
to the most of the critics who
acclaimed the production in New
York in January 1850, he per-
formed this task on ''The En-
chanted'' with the same delicate
humor that he infused into the
previous nit. THE Enchanted' is
a 'tfairy-story for grown-up child
ren," told with typical French
hghtness and grace which directs
its wit at the ponderosities of
government officials-a matter on
which Jean Giraudoux was some
thing of an expert, since he was
himself for nearly 80 years a
functionary of the French foreign
office. To carry out his satirical
attack on bureaucracy, Giraudoux
invented plot about a girl who
sets a small village in an uproar
by falling in love with a ghost.
This situation calls for official
handling, since the villagers
aren't sure that ghost can be
legally tolerated. Has he an ident-
ity card? Does he pay taxes? So
a government inspector is sent
for from the nearest big town,
and this official arrives pompous-
ly on the scene to end this nom
sense. He insists that the en-
chanted girl demonstrate her
teaching methods. He is outraged
as he continues his invetigation
and finds that the ghost has
brought the whole community a
measure of harmony and felicity.
Fuming over this, he recruits the
mayor of the village to take part
in his investigation. The mayors
solution is to do away with the
apparition by enlisting two comic
executioners. Elizabeth Tilton will
have the role at the Robin Hood
Theatre of the enchanted school
teacher who happens to be the
first villager to meet the ghost
and SO falls in love with him.
Ethereally wise, this character,
named Isabel, conceives a plan to
bring back all the dead she can
to town, since spirits appear to
have so salutary an effect. Con-
tributing to this "Alice-in-Won-
derland" quality of the comedy
is a village doctor who uses a
pitch-pipe and a tuning fork to
keep the world in harmony and
thus effect cures, and gossip
ing deaf spinster who finds 1sa-
bells dairy and turns it over to
the Inspector. Those of you who
see "The Enchanted" at the Rob
in Hood Theatre in Arden, vii
find it one of the most interest
ing and rewarding comedies t.
arrive in this area. 1t will b'
shown for performances from
August 18th to the 10Th.

Sen. Capehart Hints Probe of Loans To
 US. Tin May Be Broadened To Cover Entire Govt. Defense Loan Program

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Cape hart R-Ind hinted Thursday probe of government loans for an Alaskan tin operation may be lbroadened to cover the entire gov ernment defense loan program. Capehart is chairman of the ISenate-House committee on de- fense production, set up to keep an eye on operations under the Defense Production Act of 1850, which also authorized the defense loans to speed mobilization after the Korean war started.
 Charles w. Merrill, assistant chief of the Minerals Division in the Bureau of Mines, told the committee Wednesday an initial $375,OOO government-insured loan to the US. Tin Corp. was granted in 1851 despite "very, very |sketchy' loan application. He said it was based on an unsWorn certificate of the corporations assets.
 Capehart told neWSmen in ad- vance of the session that "you bet" there have been poorly placed loans and "Wrongdoing' in |operation of some two billion dol lars worth of government-insured and direct government loans to stimulate defense production. He did not elaborate.
 The government insured loan of $375,OO0 to the US. Tin Corp. has since been expanded to a total of three million dollars, all
 but the first $375,000 in direct federal loans. So far, Capehart said, no considerable output has been achieved from the US. Tin operation.
 Merrill told the committee that he personally approved the first S375,OO0 loan. He testified the loan application was supported by Kenneth KadoW, then attached to
The Nome nugget., 1954-07-09

the office of former Interior Sec retary Oscar Chapman with re- sponsibility for checking all Alas kan developments connected with the Interior Department.
 Almost exactly the time the application was recommended" :" Merrill said, Kadow left the gov ernment to become a consultant to and later president of US. Tin.
 Committee counsel Harold War ren asked Merrill whether he was shocked" at Kadow's switch. The witness replied that would be the correct word, but added that he knew nothing illegal about Ka- dow's resignation from the Inter- for Department.
 Sen. Capehart, chairman of the joint committee, told neWsmen in advance of the hearing that there have been reports that the Lost River mine project, located 90 miles northwest of Nome, cost far more than it is worth.
