PldyS CIlOSSH DuI DcCduSc GllSA
choice is dictated as much b.
consideration for communit!
as for campus needs. In othel
words, it underscores the fac
that c. us is not merely col
lege theater designed for thu
education of departmental stu
dents and the entertainment o.
the university's student body
but for the general audience.
Under the direction of Rev
Gilbert v. Hartke, it's founding
Father, it is a pioneer in this
field, establishing a pattern
now followed successfully anc
significantly by many univer-
stiles. Few Of these have
reached the scale of two-week
production runs such as c. US
but many represent the best
and some the only, stage enter
tainment in their communities
THE DIFFERENCE: c. us
program of four plays, plus
the annual original musical in
the mid-spring, seems to have
a particular pertinence this
year.
This is visible in it's illustra-
ton of the difference between
show business, which this coun-
try has developed to a high
point, and theater of which it
has very little to compare with
such as England's Old Vic,
Frances Comedie or Marigny,
or Finland's National Theater.
There is nothing wrong with
show business, of course. save
its terrifying hazards as a COM
merce. But the appeal of its
adventure to the American in
stinct does discourage interest
In theater, or drama, as art
fine enough to be developed
for It's own sake and minus a
concern for profit.
It is this latter policy that
enables Catholic University
theater to look back over more
than two decades whose happy
high points have been an "An-
tigone," an "Oedipus Rex" and
an "OreStia" among any
others which were both artistic
and boxoffice triumphs.
Both it and other univerSi-
ties which go in for theater,
and Broadway which prefers
show business, are satisfied
with their different ways of
life.
THE PROGRAM: 1t is a typ
ical program, in variety and
prestige tn at the university
theater offers for the season
that will open on October 81
with Oscar Wilde's The I'M
portance of Being Earnest"
Wilde's classic satire will be
followed December 1-16 by an
excerpt from Shakespeare un-
seen around here since the
memory of man runneth not to
the, etc. The play in question
Is the timelessly pertinent
"Coriolanus," a comment on
power and politics that has had
a sudden liveliness in a number
of other countries theaters of
late.

1t sought permission also for
all domestic communications
common carriers to participate
in the proposed venture, in
which several companies are
expected to pool resources.
In a report issued two weeks
ago, the commission indicated
the system might be restricted
to common carriers engaged in
International telephone or tele-
graph communications.
General Telephone recon-
mended that domestic carriers
be permitted to join. And it
sought reclassification for itself
as an International - rather
than a domestic-common car

In support Of its argument, it
said that in addition to Serv-
ing parts of 81 States, it oper-
ates international circuits to

confronting the association.
An agreement is expected
shortly with the Montgomery
County Bar Association that
should lead to the shelving of a
proposed Maryland law to pro-
hibit out-of-State corporations
from acting as executor or ad-
miniStrator Of the estates of
Marylanders, he said.
The 9Th district banks ex-
ercising fiduciary powers have
been concerned deeply with this
move because it would impose a
major obstacle between them
and some Of their largest clients
residing In suburban Maryland.
The agreement with the Mont
gomery association is similar TO
the one worked out with the
District Bar Association, last
year, he declared.
In efforts to exempt banks
from licensing provisions of a
new District law affecting lend
ers in the auto finance business,
the association has persuaded
the superintendent of licenses
to hold in allegiance the license
requirement in so far as the
banks are concerned, Mr.. Ben
fer reported. A proposed
amendment formally excusing
banks from this requirement
has been submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners, he said.

District bank deposits reached
a new all-time peak of around

call of April -, he added. Loan
