THE DAILY WORKER, N: “Cock Robin” Very Amusing Philip Barry and Elmer Rice Collaborate on New Play at 48th St. Theatre Ae amusing mystery play called Cock Robin” is nov playing at the 18th St. Theatre. According to all cations it will be a hit. It was written by Philip Barry and Elmer tice, who are not unknown on Broad- vay. The play concerns an amateur neatrical group ‘which produces a lay for charity. During the play ne of the actors is killed. Then the “an begins. While built along the con- | entional pattern of mystery plays it is always entertaining, occasional- It fol- | lows the new spirit of plays in this |category which puts the humor in the | forefront. In fact, in the last act where the mystery is solved, tne show lags due to the absence of opportunity for laughs on the part of the cash customers. The plot is not of much consequence and will not be told here. Suffice to say that almost every member of the cast is suspected of the murder. Luckily there are no bullers in the play, otherwise they would imme- diately be placed on the suspected list. The cast is of a general high char- acter and includes Muriel Kirkland, Richard Stevenson and Beatrice Her- |ford, who gives the audience an op- portunity to indulge in a fit of laugh- ter when she appears on the stage and delivers a speech on the purposes of the charity for whom the amateur performance is being given. This is in many respects the high mark of the play. The rest of the cast is well placed in their respective parts. Edward Ellis as the stage manager gives a good account of himself. The play is staged by Gutherie Mc- Clintic and the settings are by Jo Mielziner. The play is much above the average in New York today and for an eve- ning’s entertainment is to be recom- mended. —S. A. P. Dos Passos Writes on Garlin’s Letter Editor, DAILY WORKER: Regarding Sender Garlin’s letter. “I don’t see any reason for any of these regrets. It’s always a gocd thing for people to get sore enough to say what they think. And if the New Playwrights Theatre expects to swim to fame on a great wave of soft soap, I for one have no interest in it. “Ym afraid I did not make myself quite clear in my last letter. What I objected to in his criticism was not that it was unfavorable, but that it seemed to me to be written from the same angle as those in the capitalist press, the angle of contemporary Broadway ‘realism.’ This may be an oversubtle distinction, but in a mo- ment of transition between two dif- ferent sets of ideologies, I think it is: an important one. Mr. Buchwald’s write-up of ‘The Centuries’, in the Freiheit last month, though less fav- orable than your writeup of ‘The In- ternational,’ seemed to me an excel- lent example of the sort of criticism I personally approve of. I don’t feel that you looked carefully enough in- to the aims of the production before setting down your opinion as to the results. In fact I feel that all the writeups in the DAILY WORKER suffer from the same superficiality. That doesn’t mean that I class you people any lower than the rest of |the press. Quite the opposite. It just means that criticism as an art or a science does not exist in New York today. “Let me add that this letter and its predecessor are the expression of my own opinions, and not of those of the I thought it was generally known that the directors did not pretend unity of opinion in any matter except in the choice of England in March.
