The past week is the one in
which the theater's season
comes to an end,
This is always an occasion
for stock taking which, in
turn. is a process that sep
arates the sheep from the
goats, the optimists from the
pessimiSts, or something.
Optimists in the theater are
those who think the season,
any season, could have been
worse while the pessimists are
the ones who would like to
know how this could be.
Actually, as Broadway has
kept seeing it since last Sep
TENDER, the 1886 drama
term was one to chortle about
if only by contrast to those
few Immediately preceding it..
1t produced not only more hits
than usual but these in a
greater variety, this fact in
dicative of the truth that both
the makers and >nsumers of
entertainment have extricated
themselves from their ruts.
We Were Outhit
The season was not equally
good in Washington in that
Broadway outran US in hits.
eight to three, according to
Variety which is the official
scorekeeper on such matters.
In a negative way. this was
more than counterbalanced
by the fact that we had only
six formal hops as against
New York's %.
To be specific, which is
never a bad idea. the three
plays seen here which went on
to help give the theater its
best New York season in years
were THE Great Sebastians,"
Janus" and "A Hatful of
Rain" BY a hit, Variety means
only one thing. namely more
than enough money at the
boxoffice to defray all the costs
of having been daring enough
to produce a play.
1t does not give a hang that
it was the Lunts more than
the play that made 1.-THE Great
Sebastians" a success, a fate
all the critics could foresee
even while expressing their
reservations.
A comparison between the
hits that Washingtonians
managed to see, two at the
National and one at the Shu-
bert, and those it missed is in
favor of the latter. For one
large reason, this list includes
"The Diary of Anne Frank"
which made a complete sweep
Of the years top play prizes.
These are the Critics Circle,
Pulitzer and Donaldson.
So, We Wait
In terms of popularity two
other hits that will be a long
time coming here are even
more acute losses to the local
season. These are mo Time
for Sergeants" and Thornton
Wilder's THE Matchmaker. +"
The latter probably will be
touring in the autumn, at least
Atlantic coaStwiSe, with Ruth
Gordon who has found in it
her greatest role.

will open Olney's summer sea-

make Washington.

NEW YORK, June Good
bye Broadway, hello sunshine
its summer theater time
coast to coast.
From now to September,
stars, extras and apprentices
will be busy on the sunburn-
and-silo trail, emoting old fav-
orites, singing by starlight and
spreading live theater to sea-
shore, mountain resort and
rural raInble.
Altogether about 300 stock
groups in nearly all of the 48
States have scheduled seasons
of six to Is weeks. Countless
other groups will try less
ambitious schedules.
And vacationists, the folks
who foot the bill, are appar-
emily finding summer stock
theater an increasingly pleas
ant way of life. The indica-
lions are that the boom pace
of the past several summers
will continue.
Tents Everywhere
The most significant item is
continuing expansion of tent
theaters. The trend began in
the late 40's as way of en-
abling more people to see a
performance and also to pro-
vide some natural air condi-
tionipg.
Several dozen tents operated
from Connecticut to Califor-
mia last year. and at least four
additional ones are set this
season at birmingham, Mass,
Camden, N. j.. New Bruins
wick. N. j., and-the first on
Long Island - at Westbury,
N. Y.
Besides growing in popu-
larity, tents are now getting
first chance at Broadway
shows newly released for stock
performance-to the under
standable chagrin of some OPP
orators of more traditional
straw hat facilities.
The Teahouse of the August
Moon" for example, will get
its first summer theater pro-
duction in mid-July-in a tent.

We teachers do appreciate,
This day, set aside to celebrate,
And to remember us who day by day,
Strive to guide our pupils on their way.
To be teachers We are glad,
But sometimes our hearts are sad,
To see some pupils take no interest,
When we really try to do our best
We know where our duties lie
And strive to raise the standard high
We hope that the youths will see
What is our aim for their future lives to be.
We have pledged to serve this community
And give the pupils an opportunity
TO build their characters and thereby be,
Great assets to our society.
This task we will pursue,
And strengthen our cords anew,
To reach the goal we all will strive,
And hope great benefits to derive.
May God His blessings give,
And help us as we daily live,
To learn that the fear of Him,
Will help US the victory to. win:

BY JOSEPHINE LowMAN

This week I am printing a
few letters from women who
Joined my Eight-Week Self
Improvement Marathon last
January. The idea was to lose
20 pounds in eight weeks time
or to improve as much as pos
sible In any way needed during
that eight weeks. These letters
are interesting and inspira-
tional and so I pass a few Of
them along to you.
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
II have a baby eight months
old and a child ga. I had al
lowed myself to put on extra
weight during my pregnancies.
Thanks to Marathon I have
lost % pounds.
Il have my self-confidence
back and my husband is so
proud of me! I am 5 feet 5
inches tall and weigh 100
pounds. Before Marathon I
weighed 1872 pounds. My bust
measured 80. waist 80, and hips
40 inches. Today my bust
measures 80, waist 26, and hips
SO inches.
do l still need to lose
weight and what about my
measurements"
Your weight is correct (may-
be two or three pounds under
weight and you must look
lovely. Just stay like you are.
Don't change anything"
Another:
Dear Mrs. LOwman:
II am 10 years old but have
been married for a year and a
half. Even before my marriage
I was overweight. After my
pregnancy I weighed 100
pounds. I lost 20 pounds dur
ing Marathon. My bust meas
ures 81, waist Is and hips 81
inches.
II have more pounds to lose
but I still can hardly believe
that within a couple of months
I could look and feel SO much
better"
Another:
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
After my first child was
born was completely out of
shape. I had an old-fashioned
doctor who did not believe in
dieting or exercising. was a
mess, no clothes to fit and no
figure, and tired and discour-
aged.
Il now have four children
but followed Marathon faith
fully this year. While I know
that my figure is not perfect ]
am the correct weight and look
and feel like a different person
Just wanted to let you know"
There is no scientific reason
for losing your figure just be-
cause you have a child. Your
abdominal muscles will be
stretched but exercise will
tone them up. The weight of
Vour child is not nearly so
