THEATRE
BY
Cyrus Adler

HEARTBREAK HOUSE is a
play based on social problems
and can hold us only when the
problems dealt with interest us.
Shaw's Heartbreak House seemed
vapid to me because it treats on
questions that do not concern
America such as: how the idle
English rich can give meaning to
their pointless lives; should a
poor girl marry a rich old coot
for his money; and what will be-
come of jolly old England, ruled
as it was by nincompoops. Only
the answer to the last problem is
apparent: England will muddle
through.
When | saw Heartbreak House
ten years ago in a small freezing
theatre then called The Blocker
Street Playhouse, l though it
Shaw's most human play. But
seeing it again at the plush and
gilded, air conditioned Billy Rose
palace, I was struck by the i'm
probability of the argumentative
crew gathered on the ship-like
setting.
The daughter of an eccentric
ancient mariner Captain Shot
over, decked out to look like the
old Shaw himselfO has invited a
poor young thing and her Fabian
father to her country estate. She
wishes to stop the pure young

thing from marrying a crude
captain of industry, Boss Man.
gan, for his money.
This gambit allows Shaw to
spout in various guises mildly
socialistic arguments against pow
erty and war, against the upper
classes, against politicians in
what he subtitled A Fantasia IN
the Russian Manner on English
Themes.
Boss Mangan, played like De-
lancy Street push-cart peddler
bursts easily into tears when set
upon by the women in the play.
To simplify the plays outcome
Shaw has him killed off in the
last act by a bomb from a Yep
pelin.
This allows the young thing to
marry Captain Shotover-Shaw.
BY the final curtain one couldn't
care less.
Others involved in this messy
garden party include Captain
Shotover's younger daughter,
who happened to be stopping by
from the Colonies where her
"numskull' of a husband rules
the natives. She has a notable
theory that all the English upper
classes need to set their house in
order is horses.
A noisy burglar allows himself
to be apprehended in order to
shake down his captors who do
not wish to go through the messy
business of prosecuting him.
Again, who cares?
What bothers America today
are the relationship of black to
white, of book readers to TV
viewers, of prosperity to war, OF
progress to sanity.

Cabinet Calls on Castro>
Urges Him to Keep Post
Guard Put
On Urrutiu
In Suburb

HAVANA, July - (AP).--
The cabinet met late today
with Cuba's new president and
demanded that Fidel Castro
return as prime minister.
Presidential palace sources
said the revolutionary leader
and still the Nations No. l
mans expected to agree. Mr..
Castro did not attend the
meeting, however, and there
were signs his next move
might be delayed at least brief
ly.
Manuel Urrutia, the presi-
dent who quit last night after
Mr.. Castro accused him of acts
bordering on treason, took
refuge with his family in the
village of Banta, outside Ha-
vana. He was reported under
heavy security guard.
Osvaldo Dorticos Tornado, q
40-year-old country lawyer in
stalled as president during the
early morning hours, met with
the cabinet for two hours.
Demands Castro Return
He later told a news confer
ence the first official act of the
cabinet under his presidency
was to adopt an accord de
manding" the return of Mr..
Castro as prime minister.
Mr.. Dorticos added that he
hoped Mr.. Castro will return
as prime minister because
that is the will of the people"
He said there will be no
changes in the cabinet lineup.
Asked if he is a Communist,
the new president answered:
Il most certainly am not and
neither is the government"
Mr.. DorticoS said the govern
ment will take no legal action
against Mr.. Urrutia, but that
it will not withdraw the ac-
cusations made against the ex-
President by Mr.. Castro.
''UTutia will have full guar
antees and any protection he
desires" Mr.. Dorticos said.
Castro Out of Town
He added that Mr.. Castro
is out of town resting and said
he will not return to Havana
until Tuesday.
Havana and the countryside
appeared calm.
Mr.. Dorticos earlier called
for the people to rally to the
support of Mr.. Castro and the
revolution.
Give a revolutionary salute
to the people of Cuba" he said
in a TV address, land charge
all Cubans, united in the COM
mon cause, to advance the rev.
olution and to renew their faith

House hearings on the wide

three judges for the Districts
Juvenile Court will begin at
10 am. Thursday.
The hearings will be held be-
fore the House District sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat Of

In announcing the hearing
date, william Mcleod, clerk of
the House District Committee,
said the subcommittee would
hear testimony on the Senate
passed bill which would add
two judges to the present one
judge court.

who has taken the lead in
urging more judge-power for

it in combating juvenile de-
linquency.
Time Elapse Issue
Leaders Of the bench, bar and
law enforcement here have said
that the first step to strengthen
the court should be more
Judges. One Of their main argu-
mentS has been the effect on
juveniles of long delays before
appearing before the judge.
They have argued that
