'Watch on Rhine, ’ Theater's First Play By BILL MINEHART .The Drama Critic’s Circle Award winner, “Watch on the Rhine," by Lillian Heilman has been chosen as the first play of the University theater’s 1942-43 season. In this “compassionate drama Of men, women, and children,” the author presents a stirring picture of the intrusion upon a typical American family of the evil forces of fascism, rousing them from a happy complacency to a realization that to wipe out this evil is more important than anything else, though it may be at the sacrifice of their own well being; or even their lives. Characters Those who know the ruthless ness of most of the characters in Miss Heilman’s earlier successes, “The Children’s Hour” and “The Little Foxes,” will be pleased, stated Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt, direc tor, to find her writing on this occasion with great humanity about gracious, genial and witty people. Even the villain is a gen tleman, although somewhat down at the heel. This is the third Drama Critics Circle Award winner to be pro duced by the University theater. The others, Maxwell Anderson’s “High Tor” and John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” have been highlights in recent seasons. First “Watch on the Rhine” which has run 11 months on Broadway, will' be the first production rec ognized on the 1942-43 season ticket; offering the special rate of three productions for $1 plus tax, a 20 per cent saving on three seats purchased singly at 50 cents plus tax.
