Review of The PLAY
At The PLAYHOUSE
CHARLES L. BRINER

The Rainmaker, by N. Richard
Nash is romantic comedy in three
acts that take place in a Western
State during a drought. Not only
is it hilarious in spots it is most
dramatic when the Rainmakcr
makes Lizzie Curry believe she is
beautiful rather than the plain
person she really is. The entire
production is excellent.
Members of the cast gave their
usual top performance and ability.
Tom Calkins, playing the part of
II. c. Curry, Father of two sons
and a daughter, also directs. Toms
portrayal makes one wish to see
him acting in more and more plays.
Noah Curry, the serious older broth
er, who manages the lives of his
tries to manage the lives of his
brother and sister, is most ably
played by Neil Flanagan. He
doesn't smile through the entire
production and this in itself is
super acting as the plot unfolds.
Chris Curran plays the part of

This allegation did not seem to
get the public attention it deserved.
Not that Mr. Butler is as much an
influence in his party as his official
position would indicate. Neverthe-
less, it cannot be recalled that any
national chairman in either party
ever made such charge at such
period. His assertion is that this
group" seeks TO grab the Demo-
cratic reins" for purely selfish
reasons" In brief, it amounts TO a
declaration from the official head
of the party, whose primary pur-
pose is supposed to promote party
unity, that there exists a serious
party division.

the hit. His description Of his
expeditions with girl called
Smoky Mcclure are powerfully
delivered and tremendously funny.
Helen Page Camp again shows her
ability as top actress Helen,
while remaining the plain type
girl until ,hc last act, is wonder
fully serious as both types, and her
all-around acting, delivery of
speech and expressions, does it

smaller ones, does his usual better
than good job and is most convinc-
ing. Our local star, Aza Stanton
again shows his versatility as he
plays the sheriff Aza in an Art
list in more ways than Portrait
painting. Joseph Hanrahan, hand
some and romantic "cCn" man is
q. his best as Bill Starbuck, Rain
maker. His scenes with Lizzie in

This show is a fitting climax to
delightful season at the Garrett
County Playhouse. Gene Yell and
his cast of capable players cen tain

composed of New Deal columnists) i,
most of those who know them best
think Senator Kennedy the better
man and believe he would make
the better president. However, the
feeling is that Chairman Butler
does not rate either very high-na-
turally not. Like SO many of his
campaign blasts, probably no more
will be heard of Mr.. Buffers latest
charge The trouble with Mr. But
Ter is that politically there is no
real weight behind him. To some
extent the same is true of his
friend, Adlai. Aside from the fact
that he is a two-time loser, his pub
licity value seems steadily shrink
ing Soon, what he says and does
will no longer be "first-class"
cept on very dull days.

Buffers Blast

While in California recently, Mr.
Paul M. Butler, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
burst out with more or less sensa-
tional charge that a group of "sabo-
tours" is trying to capture control
of the Democratic party SO that
they can dictate the nominee for
President and Vice President in
1860.

a $25,000-a-ycar salary from the al
lcgedly bankrupt Democratic party,
he is far from being either the most
astute, the most popular or the
most respected of Democratic ma
tional chairmen.
81 So s.
He largely owes his job to his
personal friendship and PARTISAN
ship for Mr.. Adlai Stevenson, one
of the Worst-beaten candidates for
the presidency in our history. Mr.
Stevenson, whose postclection
speeches, interviews and statements
reveal him as a deeply embittered
man, has repeatedly said that he
cannot conceive" of any circum-
stances under which he would again
run for President. However, he has
not said it quite in words and he
easily could that would irreVocably
rule him out. And so long as he
docs not do that he will have a
rather powerful friend Tor at least
one in powerful position as long
as Mr. Butler is chairman Further,
Mr.. Butler has made il clear that
he intends to hold on to that chair
manship just as long as he can.
s.
1t is typical of Mr. Butler that in
charging that a group of Demo-
Gratis with their eyes on 1860 are
scheming to take over party control
he refuses to mention any names
During the 1856 campaign he made
many rather low-gradc charges
against both Mr. Eisenhower and
Mr.. Nixon, but never could be
brought to the point of being Spe-
cific. He never came forth with
evidence or proof. Nor did he ever
follow through" Nevertheless, in
these charges against his own party
associates it is generally believed
that he really has certain individu-
, ais in mind Whether he will ever
have the courage to name them is
another matter Much more likely,
| it is held, he will make deal with
| them, looking to a continuance of
himself in his present well-paid
post.
az
OF the four most likely Demo-
cratic aspirants for the presidency
Hartman, of New York, Ken
nedy, of Massachusetts; Kefauvcr.
of Tennessee, and Lyndon Johnson,
of TeXaS-the most conspicuous
are Senator Johnson and Senator
Kennedy. With neither of these
has Mr. Butler been sympathetical-
ly allied OF the two, Senator john
son at the moment seems to have
at least more journalistic adher-
cntS. None of the New Deal-Fair
Deal interpreters of politics seems
able to mention his name without
speaking of his brilliant strategy"
particularly in the recent civil
liberties battle. They also usually
couple brilliant" with mastery"
and wise" Rarely do any of his
literary admirers speak of his
convictions" Actually, he is an eX-
ceedingly smooth Texas politician
and slick" would seem a more
realistic word than brilliant" to
to describe his strategy" and him
self.

of the chairman and his supporters
and the reasons for the rift. So far
