field, which has Just embarked
on the customary two-week
run. There is something Of spe-
cial interest attached TO the
staging Of these plays In this
particular campus theater, too
The mystery plays began In the
Catholic Church as dramati-
cations Of events in the Old
and New Testaments.
They became such crowd
pleasers that they had to be
moved outside to the church
steps. Then they became SO
worldly that the Church dis
avowed them. Now here are
four Of them in the very shad-
ow Of the Shrine Of the I'm
maculate Conception.
&NA
All Of this you probably
know already. If you are ac-
quainted with the mystery
plays only through the printed
word. however, you may not
know that they can be lusty
broadly funny or melodramatic,
as well as liturgical.
God is a character in three
Of the four at C. u, but He
gets top billing only in one.
All four have been staged with
imagination by William Gra-
ham, who has been alert for
all their comedy as well as
their dramatic possibilities.
They are acted with both skill
and spirit by the student
players.
1.-THE Creation" deals with
exactly what its title indicates.
God, up there in His Heaven.
creates the earth, the sky, the
sun. the stars, night and day.
Lucifer gets those delusions of
grandeur and is banished to
Hell. God sets Adam down in
Paradise, gives him Eve to keep
him company and you know
what happens.
None Of this could be called
news to anyone, but it is pow
erfully written and effectively
played. Linda Gleason as Eve
and David Little as Adam are
properly awed by Paradise and
stunned by their departure |
from it. John Miller as Lucifer
and James Coyne and James
Christy as pair of his aides |
suffer the tortures Of he'll with |
q fine show Of agony. God is
played with imposing power
and dignity by Robert Murch,
IN 'The Creation" and later in
"Noah" and Abraham"
NOAH" is a broadly comic
version Of what happened that
time when God decided to wipe
out all the sinners below in a
vast deluge and it is played
strictly for fun. John STAIRS

By Dow Jones

Currency Controller James j.

public hearing July 80 before
ruling on the proposed merger
Of the Crocker-Anglo National
Bank of San Francisco and
Citizens National Bank of Los
Angeles.
Usually the controller acts on

holding hearings. His decision
to have one in this case is be-
lieved an attempt to accom-
modate the Justice Depart
ment's antitrust lawyers, who
were given a bigger role in bank
merger decisions by a Supreme
Court ruling last month.
Crocker-Anglo, with resources
of $2.3 billion and Citizens
National with resources of $762

mission to merge. They argued
that refusal would permanently
relegate" them to IAN artificial
regional status and a second

Crocker-Anglo has 125 offices
in Northern California and 81
others approved but unopened.
Citizens National has n offices
in Southern California and 20
others approved but unopened
Neither has offices in counties
serviced by the other.
The merger, through ex-
change of 1910 shares OF

Experts Watch
Extent Of Dip
InSteeI Output
BY SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Writer

NEW YORK-Just how low
steel output dips this month
and next may be the measure
of the summers economy. It
can spell the difference between
showdown and slump in total
Industrial output. And 1t can
reveal how strong, or how
shaky, is the business revival
that popped up the final
months of spring.
Early reports show a drop
ping off in new orders for steel
following the recent labor pact
and the end Of any strike
threat. But the reports are
tempered surprisingly enough
with the word that the drop
off is considerably less than
expected.
Even more hopeful is the
indication that steel use is con-
tinuing at a good clip. The
customers may be dipping
heavily into inventories already
built UP, but they are using
them UP faster than many
hoped Just a short time back
If the heavy consumption Of
steel continues among major
users-the auto makers. con-
struction industry, appliance
makers and the like-the econ
omy really may have caught
its second wind for a stable
upward climb, rather than q
false squirt before declining
into a slump as a few pessi-
mists still fear.
The July figures on steel
are bound to be low by recent
standards-the question is how
low.
Compared with output equal
to IS per cent Of unofficial
capacity as of a month ago
tonnage is expected to slip to
so per cent. Some Of this would
have happened without any
labor pact. Vacation periods
among steel-using industrie;
always cuts shipments in july
and August.
If steel consumption holds
up wen after the vacations are
over, q slow climb back in mil
output still can give the in.
dustry the 105-million- ton pro.
duction it hopes for for all Of
1868.
For the first 20 weeks of the
year, production amounted tt
59.4 million tons, the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute re-
ported. That was 5 million;
tons above the first half o.
1862.
A second half this veal
identical with the correspond.
ing portion of 1862 woulC
bring production for the yea
to 103 million tons, the high
est since the 1877 millior
total of 1857.
