As the 11 self-seeking and querulous individuals are trans formed into the persons of char actor they are given an oppor tunity to display their dramatic talent. Responsible for the transformation is the presence in the lodging house "third floor back" of a Christ-like fellow lodger played. In this role is George Hall. "Passing of the Third Floor Back" as it moves along with the characters, once "bad" turn ing "good," resembles a moral ity play and in character with the sentiment of the Christmas season is the ending of the play. Convincing in the role of the landlady is Agnes Drummond and handling two of the most difficult roles where transfor mation to a person of character has to be effectively portrayed are Helen Lucas and Barbara Henry.

Headquarters was told that rescuers planned to drop skis to be fitted to the glider, or to ad vise the nine men to remove its wheels so the craft would slide on the snow. An earlier mes sage said dropping of plywood to form a makeshift runway wt-i considered. Two ropes broke twice, res cuers said, because the glider's wheels had broken through the snow crust. The lift was tried by a C-54. Anyway "absolutely no fear is felt for the safety of the men," headquarters said. "They are well supplied with food, cloth ing and heating equipment." The forecast was for bad wea ther today indicating delay in a third rescue attempt. Seven of the men were strand ed on the ice cap December 9 when their C-47 made a forced landing. The other two fliers were sent out to get the mar ooned men in a B-17, and were marooned themselves when their plane plowed into a snow bank. (A tenth man presumably rode in at the controls of the glider, but there was no official word on that.)
