Watch on the Rhine ’
, Success First Production
by BILL LINDLEY
Friday the thirteenth proved to be a lucky day for the
University theater, which successfully presented Lillian
Heilman s Watch on the Rhine ’ to a capacity audience
last night.
The cast used constant restraint in interpreting their parts,
thus giving the audience a feeling of restless suspense not
reneveu until me cnmax near
the middle of Act III.
“Watch on the Rhine” pic
tures the average American fam

American mother and her son

her daughter comes home with
her husband, a political refugee
from Nazi Germany.

Washington begin to close in on
the underground leader in spite
of the fact that he is living in
a free country. They blackmail
him for promises of silence. Final

withstand their threats no long
