Civic Theater Committee Is Busy Choosing Productions for Season

MRS. GEORGE FOTHERINGHAM has what promises to be an annual summertime job. For the third

consecutive year her warm-weather labors include the

perusing of numerous playscripts as she and a committee of readers choose the eight productions to be given next

season by the Civic theater.

This year the committee has a double task because each of the. plays to be given at the Civic also will be presented at Ft. Benjamin Harrison for the men stationed there. Assisting Mrs. Fotheringham this year are Mrs. Ronald M. Hazen, Mrs. Myron J. McKee, Miss Sara Lauter and Mortimer C. Furscott. : Miss Lauter and Mr. Furscott were on the committee last year, too. The fare at the Civic this year will: place emphasis on coniedy. One of the plays under consideration is “Claudia,” by Rose Franken,

author of “Another Language.”

Included in Burns Mantle’s “Best

Plays of 1940-41,” the comedy is the one in which Dorothy McGuire, former Ladywood school student, received about as much acclaim for her portrayal of the naive wife as did the play itself.

Consider 'Skylark'

“THE MALE ANIMAL” is another comedy being considered. Ranked as one of the best productions of the 1939-40 season in New York, it was presented at English’s last year with one of its

authors, Elliott Nugent,

in the lead. His co-author was James

Thurber, the cartoonist, whose drawings of frustrated types appear

frequently in New Yorker.

Samson Raphaelson’s “Skylark,” another tentative production, also was rated one of the best in the 1939-40 season in Manhattan, with Gertrude Lawrence in the starring role. ; “Boy Meets Girl,” whose New York run of 669 performances places it near the top of long-run records, ig another possibility

for the season.

It was written by Bella and Samuel Spewack and

had its New York premiere during the 1935-36 season. Two other comedies being read are “Your Loving Son,” by Abby Merchant, which was produced in New York during the spring of 1941, and Benn W. Levy's “Springtime for Henry.”

Others on Tentative List

8. N. BEHRMAN'’S “No Time for Comedy,” in which Katharine Cornell appeared, may be included among the eight Civic produc-

tions. the Thing.” being read again this summer, schedule.

So may Ferenc Molnar and P. G. Wodehouse’s “The Play's “Gas Light,” a London hit of three seasons ago, is It was considered for last year’s

Also on the tentative list are “Cuckoos on the Hearth,” “Yes, My Darling Daughter” (Mark Reed) and “Out of the Frying Pan” (Francis Swann), the latter a comedy produced in New York early

in 1941.

It concerns six young actors who rent a New York apartment together while struggling to crash Broadway.

“Blind Alley,” by James Warwick, is a drama originally pro-

duced in 1935 and revived in 1940 for New York audiences.

It

concerns a gangster who moves his “nob” into the summer home of a psychiatry professor and who is ultimately “tamed” by the

professor,

Still another Civic production may be “On Borrowed Time,” which Paul Osborn adapted from Lawrence Edward Watkin’s novel. Mr. Osborn was the author of “The Vinegar Tree,” presented at the

Civic sevéral seasons ago.

The committee is weighing the possibility of a revival, probably

one .of George Bernard Shaw's plays.

The Civic, in a previous

season, gave three of Noel Coward’s one-act plays as a single bill and the committee may decide to do three more one-acters chosen

from Coward’s “Tonight at 8:30.”
