In setting forth the modern
theater's first conception of
man as a rugged individualist,
Marlowe created a colorful
character in his version of the
legend of the man who sold
his soul to Satan. 1t is a role
almost any actor would relish
and Gordon Heath fairly leaps
at the opportunity to play it.
His is a vigorous, passionate
and Electrically vivid portrayal

ism, or at least theatrical
realism. The language is Fry,
all right, and you don't get
much better language than
that. The wisdom is here, too.
1t is the sharp Fry wit that is
in short supply.
This is perfectly natural, Of
course, since the source of the
writer's inspiration has been
the Book of Exodus. The story
of the Jews in bondage in
Egypt is not exactly one laugh
after another-in Old Testa-
ment, Cecil B. DeMille, or
New Fry.
1.-THE Firstborn" takes its
title from the climactic disas-
trous persuader visited by the
Lord upon the Pharaoh, the
death of every firstborn man,
woman and beast in Egypt. The
central figure in this long-ago
drama is-in Fry as in Exc
businesses. Here he is a hui
manized Moses who remains
heroic.
He first is encountered in the
play on his return to his old
palace home to face his foster
mother and foster uncle, the
Pharaoh. The latter wants
Moses to lead an army against
Libya and Moses wants to lead
his people out of the cruel and
inhuman clutches Of the Egyp-
tian ruler. There cannot be
much suspense about the out
come at this late date, but the
conflict between the two men
as imagined by Mr.. Fry is a
thoroughly engrossing one.
There would be little doubt
about the outcome, in fact,
even if you didn't already
know it, for Mr.. Fry's Moses
is an invincible man against
whom no mere king could long
prevail.
AS Fry sees him, Moses is
at the same time larger than
life and cut down to life size.
He is a powerful man with I'M

assigned duty to lead his peo-
pie back to Israel. While he
is answering, he also is tor
mented by the thought that
ruthless force may be less than
admirable, even when applied
against ruthless tyranny.
In the c. U. production d.
rected by william Graham,
Moses is most effectively played
by David Sabin. He's a physi-
cal match for the role and he
also manages to capture both
the inner conflict and the al
most fanatic devotion to his
mission in life.
While Mr.. Sabin's Moses
dominates 1.-THE Firstborn," he
is abetted by some others who,
thanks to Josephine McGarry
Callan's vocal coaching, do right
by Mr.. Fry. One Of these is Joy
Mills, who catches the mood of
Moses sister Miriam, who
would shun deliverance in favor
OF not attracting any special
notice from her oppressors.
Another is James Christy, the
Pharaoh's son, who can't under
stand why the Moses he so adj
mired as a small boy is now
an enemy.
Others who contribute not
ably are Carol Churas as Moses
foster mother, Mark Hammer
as the brother with unquestion-
ing loyalty, Richard Bauer as
the insecure Pharaoh, Roger
Cornish as a Jewish boy almost
won from his people by being
made an Egyptian officer, and
Sue Anspach as the Pharaoh's
young daughter.
James D. Waring has housed
them all in a pair of his first
rate settings-a segment of the
Pharaoh's palace that scars to-
ward the Egyptian heaven and
a workers tent that fairly
grovels in the desert. And
Joseph Lewis obviously was
turned loose to have a costume

There is Splendor in the
temper of a man named Wayne
L. Hays, a Democrat from Ohio
He snaps and crackles and
flashes. If you are safe, it is
pleasant to behold-like a
summer electrical storm.
He has been exploding in the
House since 1913 with regular
ity. He does things like walk
out of executive sessions in a
wonderful huff. He gets awe
somely exasperated.
A quick check shows he has
gotten mad at Castro, the late
Gen. Trujillo, Zsa ZSa Gabor,
the late Secretary Dulles, Sec
rotary Dillon, Representative
Passman, Representative Gross,
Representative Powell, every
body down at State, Africa,
former President Eisenhower
and King Freddie.
Unfortunately, King Freddie
is probably too far away to
feel the heat of Hays. The king
came up in a discussion Mr.
Hays held recently with State
Department officials over bill
to provide Federal buildings
abroad as a cost of SIS million.
Mr.. Hays told the officials

have an embassy here. So there
is a tribe. How many tribes are
there in Africa? What are we
going to do-let them break
down into 469 nations and put
them on the dole?"
Mr.. Hays, a former teacher,
farmer. county Judge and may
or (think of all the people he
must have gotten mad at in
his formative years., is also
an enemy of the large cocktail
party staged abroad by en-
bassieS.
II was at one of those par
ties" he recently remarked"
and that is when I began to
campaign to abolish them in
London. That was the worst
mob scene, and I considered
it a disgrace to the United
Nations. Eight or 10 people got
trampled on, getting up to the
bar -
A State man said Americans

nostalgia patriotism on the
Fourth of July" and they like
to have parties.

The interior decorating taste

been thwarted again-this time

Mr.. Vessels said his office
checked with the manufacturer
when MI. Washington's request
for the tan cabinets came in,
and was told they would cost
81, 370. Gray ones, bought in
quantity after competitive bids,
will cost only SITS. and that is
all Mr.. Washington has been
allotted for cabinets.
An important part of Mr..
Washington's feud with the
purchasing department is his
contention that the PUG.

whose commissioners are ap-
pointed by the President,
should have control of it's own

Republicans paid Democratic

in deciding not to put a candi-

The race was sideStepped
when some 100 delegates at a

recommending that no oppon-
ent for Representative Smith
be named.
No reason was given for the
committees action. However,
admiration of Representative

by many district Republicans
was said to have been an i'm
portant factor.

Their calculations indicate
213 would sign without much
urging. Home rule opponents
claim this estimate is wildly
optimistic. Their guess is a
maximum of $50 signatures.
A petition signed by a ma
jority of members, or 219,
would make legislation for a
locally elected municipal gov
eminent the first order of
business on the House floor.
Some 16 members of a BIZ
partisan steering committee
plan to file by midweek a petit
ton to wrest a home rule bill
from the House District Com
mittee.
Supporters resorted to the
unusual parliamentary tactic,
despite three failures in previous
Congresses, primarily because
of their survey of all 437 men,
bers. In 1860, petition signers
erased their names when the
total approached 213.
They listed congressman &C
cording to their positions on
previous petitions, their votes
on a Republican home rule bill
in 1913 and their replies to let
tiers soliciting support. This
tabulation now is in the hands
of each steering committee
member. 1t will be a kind of
blueprint of action for them
from now until the end of the
session.
Bipartisan Approach
Broadly interpreted, their
findings underline the need for
a bipartisan approach.
They have more Democratic
than Republican support i'm
mediately. But Republicans
outnumber Democrats, 7 to l,
in the group from which added
signers must be attracted.
Southern Democrats form an
almost solid bloc of opposition.
Specifically, the 213 supposed
supporters include 1873 Demo-
Gratis and go Republicans.
Written off have been 1876
members of either party. They
do not necessarily oppose home
rule. Some waver. Most find
obnoxious either the idea of
petitions or of a Federal city
controlled by citizens of the
District rather than of the
United States.
