Dealing as it does with the insidious corruption of prejudice this drama by Arnaud D'Usseau and James Gow, a daringly appropriate choice for campus presentation during Brotherhood 3 week. The play, which enjoyed a successful run on Broadway in the 1945-46 season, Is a provocative rather than a great one.
Like many dramas dealing with a social theme it suffers from a weak and slow-moving third act in which the playrights are forced to extricate from a dilemma for which societyftself has found no BuJ. it 4s a thought-provoking idea and as played last night by a talented cast, directed with skill andimag- inatlon by Don Tornquist, it was stimulating entertainment. To his home in the deep south, Brett Charles, colored war veteran and winner of the distin- guished service cross, returns de-c'-termined to put to thtest the ideals for, which he fought in Italy. At home Brett finds the 'record of his achievements does not counteract the color of his skin in the minds of such hidebound southerners as, old Senator Langdon, in whose family service "Brett's mother, Bella Charles, has spent her life.

For his portrayal of irascible old age, Arthur Larson deserves special commendation as the senator. In the role of the Yankee author, whose liberal views contrast' sharply with the southern point of Bill Morris makes, good use of a personable stage appearance, but a more forceful perfqrmance would bolster several pf the dramatic scenes. Character roles are excellently played by Gene Koskey as the jittery political aspirant; Effetta Davis as Honey Turner, the scatterbrained parlpr maid Lillian Noggins Harris as Brett's mother; and Clarence Meyer in a brief, but memorable appearance as Sheriff Serkin.

bols of a new generation, react in their separate ways to the problem of prejudice. Alice, the older, is a poised and headstrong i "intellectual," who fancies herself as a liberal thinker, until her beliefs, and prejudices are brought into violent opposition. Genevra, the younger, is an impulsive idealist, -who would protect Brett from injustice by siding With him and rejecting her white heritage because of its cruelty. The conflict of these ideals provides the play, with some highly emotional dramatic moments, .1: ENGINEERS TO HEAR EXPERT IN TALK ON NEW TRANSMISSION Dr. Gerald E.
Pratt, of Episcopal hospital, one of the few doctors anywhere who devotes nearly all his time to diagnosis; treatment and study of muscular dystrophy. Dr. Pratt said today the main reasons everyone who gets the disease dies of it is that "it has been kicked around and ignored by the medical profession as well as by the public." No one knows how a person gets the disease. Muscles become flabby and eventually stop functioning altogether. Then the victim becomes prey to such respiratory diseases as pneumonia and is too weak to resist.
Dr. PratVsaid some 200,000 in this countryisre known sufferers of the disease. "How many, more there are we can't know," he said, "because it is so often mis-diagnosed." Vy Dr. Pratt has been treating the Bairds for some time. Eleven years ago, the Bairds noticed that their second son, Robert, now 20, was walking unsteadily.
Dr. Pratt promptly diagnosed the disease and warned Mrs. Baird that it might strike her. other children, since the ailment is known to be hereditary. Eventually it did.
Gradually the disease afflicted Walter, 17; Richard, 18; Charles, 14; Joseph, 8, and William, 21. The Bairds' two daughters were spared. Dr. PratV said the disease rarely affects women, The disease is progressive. Muscles weaken by degrees.
So far only Robert has been so severely stricken that he cannot walk. Charles and Joseph go to school, although neither walks steadily, But, jDr.l Pratt 6aid, it is certain that each of the boys in time will be confined to a wheelchair and, at the age of 30 or 35, each will die. I j- In New York, the four Godfrey brothers await death from the same dread disease. They are George, 24 Roy, 21j Robert, 16f and Michael, 12.
