critics, is one that you won't forget Actually, the entire story is nothing else than an account of how the Morgan family is finally disintegrated through gossip and unemployment. It centers around the life of Welsh miners and the boy, Huw, played by 12-year-old Roddy McDowell. Others in the cast include Donald Crisp as the determined father, Sarah Algood, his wife; John Loder, his eldest son; Maureen O’Hara,*his daughter, and Walter Pidgeon, the pastor.

VOICE from the Balcony by FREMONT POWER
THE TIME SEEMS TO HAVE ARRIVED WHEN matters of more serious import will be considered on the stage at English’s.
To date,
the season has been concerned mostly with the lighter aspects of our day—comedies, dances and musicals—but the prospect now calls for
grimnier matters.
Maxwell Anderson has had his annual sally with the Nazi threat in “Candle in the Wind,” a keynote perhaps for what will follow, The booking schedule calls for another dealing with the German beastliness, one on poverty and ignorance among miners and a solid helping of Shakespeare. It.is thus that the season progresses into
“meaty” matters. The dates: “Rose Burke,” with Katharine Cornell, next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. “The Corn Is Green,” with Ethel Barrymore, on March 26, 27 and 28 *
“Macbeth,” with Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson, on April 13, 14 and 15. : we ” ”
- Anent the French
MR. ANDERSON laid his 194142 sermon against a French background and we find “Rose Burke,” opening Monday pight, also with a definite French flavor. Aside from the playwright, Henri Bernstein, who first of all is a Frenchman, the play defends the ultimate character of the French people. And in its cast is a prominent French actor making his American stage debut. He is Jean-Pierre Aumont, If anyone should catch the true aspects of the French approach in “Rose Burke,” M. Aumont is the man. He was in Paris at work on a film when thie war / broke out. He joined his country’s colors immediately as a private, was promoted to sergeant and saw active service around Vouziers, near. the Belgian frontier. A tiny red ribbon in M. Aumont’s coat lapel is testimony to his worth as a soldier. He won no less an honor than the Croix de Guerre. “But I was really’ not very heroic,” M. Aumont disclaims. “You know, it is curious how one’s actions are governed by small things. A day or two before; one of the men in my company was grumbling because of a disagree-" able task. “He looked angrily at me and
M. Aumont
said, ‘You wouldn't do this, would
you? You're an actor!’ “Becau'g I was an actor, he thought 1 would be a very poor soldier. If he hadn't angered me, I might easily have run away. The only reason I have this,” M. Aumont explains with a glance at the lapel ribbon, “is that I wanted to show him he was wrong.”
- # # » A Tragedy Unseen ‘M. AUMONT, however, was lackier than some other French-
men. He was spared the sight of the Germans rolling into Paris. He knows that his home near the Port d’ Asnieres was looted as were so many others in’ the out< skirts of Paris. But he didn't have to look at it happen. For a while he lived in the unoccupied territory and then, after long negotiations with the Vichy government, was allowed to come to the United States. On thé Coast when Miss Cornell was casting “Rose Burke,” M. Aumont was assigned the role of Marcel Duty, “a woman-wise war casualty who thinks of going to London to join the. Free French.” It is a role M. Aumont very likely could play in actuality as well as on the stage. Miss Cornell is a successful New York ' sculptress who “can live without happiness but not without dignity,” and her leading man is Philip Merivale, who as James Forman is a gentleman of affairs entrusted with heavy governmental missions. If M. Bernstein has written the important play about the fall of
France, then he can expect a re-
sounding salvo from those who are eagerly awaiting it. Previous and recent attempts at the sub-
ject have been no more than
puny punches.
