To Give Play
August Night's Dream'
Had One Year's Run
La Sociedad Hispanica will present
"Sueno de una Noche en Agosto"
("An August Night's Dream"), a
Spanish play in three acts, by Mar-
tinez Sierra, Tuesday, April 4, in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
The play has serious thought be-
hind it, but is worked out in a sur-
prisingly light comedy, not without
even a touch of slapstick. The plot
is ultra-modern, the dialogue being
apropos even to 1939.
"An August Night's Dream" had a
year's run on Broadway in 1921. It is
one of the most popular plays of its
noted Spanish author, who is per-
haps best known to the American
public for his "Cancion, de Cuna,
("Cradle Song").
Both leads in the play have been
changed since production first start-
ed more than a- month ago. ,The
leading roles are now being, played by
Margaret Bryant, '39, and Alfred
Hower, '39. Dr. Charles N. Stau-
bach, assisted by J. Chalmers Her-
man, both of the Spanish depart-
ment, is in charge of the direction
of the play. Ermelindo A. Mercado,
also of the Spanish department, is in
charge of staging and production.

The freedom of 'Free City' Danzig, which was created by Versailles treaty to give Poland a seaport on the
Baltic, gives concern to statesmen watching Hitler's empire-making sweep eastward. Here is a view of Dan-

its west is the Polish Corridor.
