EDIT O RIAL
a DESERVING CANDIDATE

III DECISION Of Mrs. Anna Brodhurst to try again
for the Virgin Islands Senate is a good one. And that is true
whether or not she was or was not affiliated with this paper.
FIRST, H made a rather fine showing in the last
election, and should do even better in this one. Many voters,
Judged from the results, thought that she could serve the
best interests Of her constituents, regardless of boundaries.
SECOND, AS is known, she has an intimate acquaint-
ance with what is happening in her home town, her own Is
land, and the entire groupj
THIRD, ALSO as everyone knows, Mrs. Brodhurst has
done more to defeat The toton-to-tot0n and Islandto-Isldnd
issue than almost anybody else, and this is shown clearly
in what is done in her personal relations with people.
FOURTH, AS a woman she naturally has an interest in
the institutions which make for better community life-the
schools The clinics, the work Of groups whose duty is to
further the welfare Of these Islands. And proof of this is
clearly shown in her participation in many community pro-
grams.
FIFTH, SHE is a yorker. She has and will undertake
work, and see it through. And there is need to go no further
than the work done with the Festival Committee.
IN THESE parts where there is so frequent resort to
feigned modesty, a pointing out Of qualities which would
make one associated with this paper a good candidate do
not run for office in a vacuum. They have, and seek, support
from groups and organizations, the press, and their parties
And this is no less so than association with a newspaper.
MRS. ANNA BRoDHURST would be a good legislator,
and this paper is convinced that it can support her election
on the grounds mentioned hereyau Of tOhich are tOeH knot0n
and can withstand challenge, and which are purely objective.

Anna BrodhurSt.

Pluque Dedicated to
Memory Of the late
Hons Bishop

4A(AA40 D@
A large gathering Of members.
of the Lutheran congregation and
friends, attended the service at
the Parish Hall to witness the de-
dication Of a plaque as q memoir
ial to the late Hans Bishop, who
willed the building to the congre-
cation.
A short service was conducted
by Pastor Nuudi at which time
the plaque was dedicated and
then he gave the benediction.
The Honorable Joseph Alexan-
der, former Legislator and one Of
the Islands outstanding mer-
chants and formerly a personal
friend and Administrator Of the
Estates Of Hans Bishop, was invit
ed to address the gathering on
the life and activities of Mr.. BIZ
shop.
Not only was Mr.. Bishop a faith
full member Of the Church, Mr.
Alexander said, but he was also
interested in the Islands and has
done much to bring reforms to
the Danish West Indies under the
Danish administration.
The speaker went back to the
year 1902 when the Danish Rigs
dag failed to ratify the sale Of
these islands to the United States
by one vote, Mr.. Bishop went to
Denmark, visited the King, and
made a plea for reforms. After
that he became a friend of the
Royal Family of Denmark and
made regular trips to that corm-
try.
Mr.. Alexander's address includ
ed much historical information on
these Islands that most persons
do not know.
Carl Coff, Treasurer Of the
Church, who was master Of cere-
monies, thanked Mr.. Alexander
on behalf Of the congregation and
expressed the hope that some day
it viii be possible for the younger
generation to read the address on
Mr.. Bishop.
The plaque was made by Cyril
Marshall. Director Of the St.
croix Museum.

Playhouse
Stays Busy

A full, varied schedule of ac-
tivities places the Pentagon Play
house among the areas buster
little theater groups. Its aim is
more than solely to provide
recreation for members. When
started in 1851 the avowed pur-
pose was to provide variety
shows. radio and stage plays for
military hospitals. USOs and
other military installations in the
Washington metropolitan area.
The purpose is fulfilled regu-
|larly. Once a month a is or 80
minute Playhouse radio play is
done over WRAH for patients at
Walter Reed and Forest Glen
Hospitals. Musical and variety
acts and complete variety shows
also are provided frequently for
the hospitals, USOs and Service
organizations.
Pentagon Playhouse also stages
theater productions at the De-
|partment Of Agriculture Audito-
rum to an average audience OF
500 for each night of a three
night run. The next of these is
ian "Old-Time Minstrel" show
due to be performed in May.

as it is upon a screenplay that
is more a work of mood than of
movement. That it merits being
rated as a pleasant little English
movie is more a matter of acting
and direction than the Tilt and
freshness of its writing.
Among its players, Mr.. Donat'S
is the quietly captivating per-
Torrance. Three affecting others.
however, are those of Adrienne
CORR, Kay Walsh and Denholm
Elliott, each of whom makes the
most of the lesser flavors they
contribute to the basic story.
x
Lease of Life" treats of a eli
mactic interval in the life of a
village pastor who. in a belated
flash of light. discovers the true
vitality Of the religion he has
been preaching for years.
The parish over which Mr..
Donat presides Is poor and so,
naturally, is its pastor. This
has been all right with the latter
until a situation involving his
pretty daughter arises. She turns
out to be a brilliantly promising
pianist, sure of winning a Lon
don scholarship but even more
sure of being unable to take it
by virture of family poverty.
This is far more upsetting to
the girls mother (Kay Walsh
than to either it's victim or the
father, all three of whom begin
to think of the sacrifices they
can make to save the situation.
1t is while in the throes of this
dilemma that two things happen
to Pastor Donat that would
shatter the faith of a lesser man.
One Of these is the discovery
that he has a heart condition
that gives him a year to live.
The other is a sermon in favor
Of the spirit of religion as
against its mere forms. For this
dramatic extemporized outburst

he pays by losing the chaplaincy
of school that would have more
than taken care of his daugh-
ter's musical education.
4 y + X
This represents somewhat less
than a wealth of material for
Mr.. Donat and Director Charles
Friend to work on. That both
men are capable of making the
most of it gives Lease on Life"
its quiet charm.
1t is an affectingly gentle and
amusing figure Mr.. Donat makes
of his little cleric. He makes it
clear how a man with his feeling
for life could get a releasing
sense of joy from studying the
gay little figures that ornament
a cathedral's walls. And how
such a man could tear up a pre-
pared sermon that would assure
him a needed promotion and
substitute one that would cost
him that promotion.
After his heart attack, it is
the pastors theory that a man
can enjoy life most richly after
making his terms with death. He
proves it not only in the complex
Iof relationships with his flock
and his superiors but in those
with his family which are much
more taxing.
AS the fretful wife and con-
fused daughter of this drol little
man of faith, Miss Walsh and
Miss Corri are precisely right in
their roles. Excellent too are a
number of top-flight English
players in fugitive bits which
stress the English fair for seeing
through themselves.
