'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

has run 11 months on Broadway,
will' be the first production rec
