Tunnel of
Production
Good by Reviewer
What type of play should
- Footlighters offer the com-
- munity?. Throughout the years
" the group has attempted to
present a varied fare, and the
'.. continued growth of this little
theater group indicates that
. it has been successful jn pleas-
ing the public.
Murder mysteries, melo
: dramas, children's plays,
classic favorites and Broad
way hits have all been at
tempted. Local groups more
or less reflect trends in the
' theater in the big cities and
- drama schools, and in recent
years Footlighters have pro
duced several of the high
speed Broadway hit comedies.
; These plays, such as the last
: Footlighter production, "Pic
. nic," have been well received,
' and have played to increas
., ingly large audiences.
Contemporary Play
, "Tunnel of Love" which
' opened last night at the Fair
grounds little theater is such a
i contemporary play. Written
' by Joseph Fields and Peter De
Vries, it deals with a moral
problem never before present
i ed in such a fashion on a Med-
- ford stage (at least not In the
' memory of this reporter). It
does so-in-typical Broadway
fashion with frank unabashed
comedy ' dialogue that con
ceivably might make some of
the theatergoers wince. But
the laughs follow at least,
they did last night.
In addition to the fact that
"Tunnel of Love" is contem
porary in setting, dialogue and
mood, it is especially suitable
for small theater production
in other ways. It has but six
persons in the cast, uses but
one set and the action is sue-
TONITE!

Love'
Said
cessfully squeezed into the
narrow confines of the Foot
lighter theater. This reviewer
is continually impressed with
the ingenuity of the Foot
lighters set builders.
In Director Frank Buchter's
cast of six persons are two sea
soned players, some who have
worked in litle theater a short
time and one who was trying
his theatrical wings for the
first time since college days.
Dr. Eugene Ray, who plays
the part of the "butterfly hus
band who flits from flower to
flower" turns in an excellent
performance for an amateur.
After he successfully fought
off the first few minutes of
opening night tenseness and
recovered a forgotten line, Dr.
Ray did very well indeed. He
has a sense of timing on lines
and action which stands him
in good stead in this role.
Other Parts
Bette Lu Foster plays the
role of his always pregnant
wife with color and vivacity,
but with,the restraint of good
taste; Loretta Ware, playing
her second role in a Footlight
er play, is showing commend
able dramatic improvement.
In "Tunnel of Love" she puts
appeal and considerable emo
tional depth into the role of
the "wronged wife."
Les Boardman is cast as
Augie Pole, who believes he
is a failure as an artist, a hus
band and as a man. The diffi
culties and potentialities of
this role are the deepest in the
play, and for the most part
this actor gives a convincing
performance. Such a role
could tax the capabilities of
the most talented profesional.
Rounding out the cast are
Jerry Jerome and Virginia
Lusk, cast as two social work
ers. Miss Jerome's role is that
of the "investigator" who is
the means of supplying the
childless Pooles with the baby
they so badly want, and in a
most unconventional fashion.
This good amateur actress has
played many Footlighter roles
and she gives her usual suave
performance.
Mrs. Lusk has only a few
minutes on stage, but she is
impressive during these few
moments. Her make-up and
stage performance last night
were fine.
"Tunnel of Love" continues
through Saturday night and
tickets are on sale at Puruck
er's Music house or may be
obtained by telephoning Mrs.
Lusk, SPring 2-8635, or Mrs.

Potential Builders
Of Homes
Support Legislation
Washington-The Congress
man from the largest lumber-
producing district in the Unit
ed States has urged people
interested in building new
homes to write to Albert
Rains (D-Ala.), chairman of
the housing subcommittee,
and express support for pend
ing legislation to "stimulate
and stabilize home construc
tion." Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-
Ore.) of Oregon's Fourth Con
gressional district, today call
ed attention to the bill the
housing subcommittee has in
troduced and which may be
come part of an omnibus
housing program later this
month. The legislation elim
inates down payment require
ments on the first $13,500 of
home value under the FHA
program.
Extension to 35 Years
Other features of the leg
islation include:
1. Extension of the FHA
regular home ownership pro
gram to 35 years from the
present 30-year limit.
Z. increase tne maximum
amount of mortgage which
the FHA could insure on a
single-family home from $22,-
500 to $25,000 so that FHA
could serve a larger part of
the market.
3. Reduce the FHA mort
gage insurance premium
from the present Vi to 1 per
cent on the outstanding bal
ance to Vi to 1 per cent (but
with the further provision
that the FHA Commissioner
could raise the level about
4 to 1 per cent if he found
this necessary to protect
FHA's reserves).
In commenting on the pro
posed revisions, Porter said
he felt the pending legislation
would provide central mort
gage banking facilities both
for the FHA-VA section of
the market and for conven
tional mortgage loans. He
said he believed the legisla
tion was designed to over
come the wide fluctuations in
the flow of mortgage money.
Housing starts over the na
tion. Porter observed, were

from the same month a year
ago. He termed the fluctua
