THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Broadway Offers to Complete Undergraduate Education--And No Expense for Tutoring

Have you seen....? Did you like...? Do you know?

For the worn undergraduate, in town for a rest-cure, after mid-years, Broadway offers the best of receptions. The following 14 notices give a brief resume of the most outstanding performances the town can boast. What will you be able to say of your vacation? This is one exam for which the widow's doesn't tutor.

ABIF'S IRISH ROSE

Republic, West 42nd St.--If this is not exactly a good play it has attained the position of being one of New York's things-to-be-seen, and after the show you can go across the street to Huber's museum and see another equally interesting sight: the flea circus. Both are uproarious.

EVA LE GALLIENE

Civic Repertory Theatre, cor. 6th Ave. and 14th St., Eva le Galliene, a good actress but a fine director, sees to it that her repertory, which runs the gaunt of the drama, including farce and tragedy, Ibsen, Shakespeare, and moderns, is given a well rounded performance on an adequately set stage.

HABIMA PLAYERS

Cosmopolitan, Columbus Circle.--This is one chance in a life time to see highly stylized acting, in which lines are subordinated to voice and gesture, the tools with which the actors mould their characters. It is the stage equivalent of gothic statuary--gargoyles and everything--and is supreme of its kind.

TWELFTH NIGHT

Laboratory Theatre. East 58th St.--The acting company of the group gives its best performance in this gay comedy of Shakespeare, but the performances of "The Sea Woman's Cloak" and "The Scarlet Letter" are also worthy of high praise. The acting, as a whole, is the nearest thing to Moscow Art--which means theatre art--that we have in this country. (With the possible exception of the Neighborhood Playhouse.)

BROADWAY

Broadhurst, West 44th St.--Back stage at a night club, with bootleggers, butter-and-egg men, murders, detectives, lovers, etc. Lee Tracy as the self-made "hoofer" almost makes you believe there is such a person. Eloise Stream, in a minor part, convinces you of her reality. You can't help being conscious of the fact that Sylvia Field, playing opposite Tracy, is acting.

THE PLAY'S THE THING

Heny Miller, West 43d St.--Here is a good place to spend an enjoyable evening. But, don't let the title fool you. Holbrook Blinn's the thing.
