So the caliph lent him the
horse and he rode away to

day the caliph himself went

the same lady and said to
her: why did you frighten my
servant with your silly ges-

II didn't mean to frighten

The Dark Is Dark ENOUGH
Both Legitimate Theoters Here Close
But Arena and CuthoIie U. Garry On
By Joy Cornody


The legitimate theater sea-
son Of 1954-5 has not ended
In Washington but there is no
denying 1t has plunged into an
awesome lull.
With the departure last
night Of Dear Charles" from
the National and 1.-The Tender
Trap" from the Shubert, the
city's major drama houses go
dark for q period Of six weeks,
possibly longer.
The next booking is tenta-
tive, Eartha Kilt in "Mrs. Pat
terson" at the Shubert on
March %. The illness Of its
star during the past week has
given q wobbly look to Mrs.
Patterson's" future with the
prospect that it may not travel
after its Broadway closing.
CAS- this section went to
press, the Shubert Theater an
nounced a two-weeks' booking
of "The Rainmaker." begin-
ming March y.
The explanation Of the sud-
denly descended darkness is
simple: There are no attrac-
tions available, inward oound
from tryout tours, outward
bound from New York.
Our Own Resources
With Broadway's resources
exhausted for the time being
at least, Washington has its
own to fall back upon, repre-
sented chiefly by Arena Stage
and Catholic University. These
are popular institutions, the
former in its fifth season, the
latter in its 18th. They offer
regular programs Of high quail
ity entertainment, Arena on q
continuous basis. the univer-
sity a series Of four plays and
one original musical during
the September May season.
These are WaShington's ma
jor "off Broadway" drama CEN
ters and, as such, definite as
sets. Their productions may
lack the lavishness of the COM
mercial product of the down.
town theaters, and the pro-
fesSional potential Of perform
ance, but in one respect they
compare more than favorably
with the competing fare.
This lies in the caliber and
variety Of the plays they
choose to do in contrast to
the ones that the commercial
theater tries to sell.
A thumb through of the re-
views this correspondent has
written since September indi-
Gates that in terms of plays
produced, Arena and Catholic
U. have Jared extremely well.
This is not the result of a re-
laxing Of critical standards. a.
reviewer takes his full equip
ment with him to both thea
ters. and both expect him to-
do so. Their places in the
community could not have
been so firmly established in
any other way.
Three Hits in Five
To be specific, Arenas sea-
son to date has included five
productions. It opened last
September with Arthur Miller's
1.-THE Crucible." a production
the towns other critics, and
the public. approved although
this department did not.
It went from there through
