doing IN a drama column, the
answer is quickly available. Mr..
Slonim has written a book, an
other book, this one on Rus
sian Theater. from The Empire
to the Soviets." 1t is an i'm
preSsive contemplation of ma
tional theater that has found
its always Russian way Of
being dramatic, accusatory or
accused, a pet of the State or
the object of its wrath, mostly
earthly but often enviously imi-
tative of western Europe's ele-
gance. and rarely dull.
A deep and timely aspect of
Mr.. Slonim'S work is its point
that no one need pity the Rus
sian theater for loss of freedom
since the Revolution. 1t has
never been free since its organ
lied beginning under the Gar
AleXy in the middle 18th CEN
tury.
The explanation Mr.. Slonim
traces to something in the Rus
sian psyche which always
tempted the throne to use the
stage for propaganda. Or the
stage to flatter the throne. OF

other benefaction, principally
State support.
The price of this patronage
has not always been paid cheer
fully, but it has been paid.
Nevertheless. Russian litera-
ture generally. and the dra-
matte particularly, has pro-
duced great art. The prize
specimens. of course, are the
works of Gogol, Turgenev.
Chekhov, but dozens of others
figure in the flow of the
Slonim volume.
The early dramatic inspira-
ton to which it responded so
fervently came to Russia from
the outside. First the Germans
came, then the Italians with
their Subtler art, and after
these the French. The latter. so
enviable in their intellectual
and physical grace, were t h e
profoundest influence. Yet. as
they were by nature forced to
add their muscular acrobatics
to the elegance of Italy's ballet
so the Russians injected their
earthly realism into their imi-
tation of French drama.
What emerged, Mr., Slonim
makes clear, was an art or a
group of arts that were, and
are, peculiarly Russian.

engrossing in its tracing of the
ever-willingness of its talents

James Ray Terry of Durham,

MANASSAS, va, July ZZ.-
Virginia State police handling
traffic at the re-enactment of
the First Battle of Manassas,
or Bull Run. fear lack of pub
lie cooperation may cause un-
necessary hazards and tie-ups.
Too many pedestrians walked
on the roads yesterday they
complain, while too many
drivers failed to follow pub
lished directions and parked
in the wrong lots.
The $4,000 spectators at yes
terday's rehearsal provided the
100-man police detail with their
own rehearsal for the full-scale
re-enactmentS today and to-
morrow.
Some $4,000 weekend spec
tatorS are expected. If they fail
to cooperate. police say, the
historic traffic jam after the
1861 battle could be repeated.
Tie-up in 1861
The battlefield park lies at
the intersection of Routes 90
211 and 234. After the Union
defeat on July 81, 1861, troops
and spectators fleeing back to
Washington caused a memora-
BILE tie-up.
At yesterdays rehearsal, in
coming cars flowed smoothly
into the battlefield area during
the morning and early after
noon. 1t was only when the re-
hearSal ended about 4 pm. that
traffic problems began.
Re-enactment traffic ran into
early ruSh-hour traffic from
Washington and it was an hour
before the normal flow resumed.
Police said pedestrians from
the battlefield to the parking
lots slowed drivers by walking
too close to traffic and by dart
ing across roads outside marked
croSSwalks. Police plan to use
lou dspeakers and perhaps
fences to keep them in bounds
over the week end.
They also said drivers tried
to get too close to the battle
field before parking.
First Lot Advised
They're supposed to park at
the first lot they come to so
they can leave by the same
road" a policeman said, "but
they didn't. 1t caused lot of
unnecessary traffic across the
intersection"
He pointed out that all four
approaches have official park
ing lots designed to catch
spectators before they reach
the route intersection at the
battlefield. If spectators park
on their own approach. they
can leave the same way more
easily. he said.
Re-enactment officials said
official parking fees are 81 per
car, but private parking lots
may have higher fees.
They also advise motorists to
check tires, gas and water be-
fore starting, and to carry
extra water in case of engine
Ioverheating.

State All Clubs
Observe National
All Club Week

March A to III is National
All Week and will be celebrat-
ed in Delaware by the 1900 Club
members active in the organiza-
ton, according to James o.
Baker, State All Club leader.
Special activities during the
week will include a window
display of cooperating stores.
They will be judged and a win
ner selected in each county.
The exhibit chosen as the best
in the state will be displayed
in the Agricultural Extension
building at the Kent-Sussex
Fair, July 24-29.
AS another feature of the
week, the University of Della
ware All Club is sponsoring a
statewide All square dance in
the Capital Grange Hall in Do
yer, starting at 800 p. m, Sat
urday, March A.
Mr.. Baker said that All Clubs
are groups of young people, 10
to 81 years of age, in rural, urb-
an, and suburban communities
who carry on a wide variety of
farming, homemaking, commun-
ity service and other projects.
They raise livestock and poul-
try, grow gardens and field
crops, conserve soil, sew, cook,
preserve food, carry home inn
provement projects and work
for community betterment.
Mr.. Baker encouraged any
boy or girl to join by agreeing
to follow All ideals and stand
ards. The main requirements
for All club membership is
willingness to learn by doing,
which is the All club slogan.
The four-fold emphasis of the
All Clubs-head, heart, hands
and health-reflects the clubs
goals of character development
and good citizenship.
The All program is a part of
the national education system
carried on by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, state land
grant colleges and counties.
