West German Parliamen

Approves Nuclear Arms

By GEORGE BOULTWOOD

BONN tAP)——West Germany's parliament voted Tuesday night to let German soldiers have atomic weapons as part of the defence of Europe.

A vote on the bitterly-fought ‘

atomic issue followed a four-day debate.

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his Christian Democrat party heat back all moves by the op- position Socialists and Free Dem- ocrats to renounce nuclear arms or delay a decision on their ac- ceptance.

, Theatre Guild Lives In World

Qt Tomorrow

By WILLIAM GLOVER

NEW YORK (AP) It's al- ways tomorrow for Broadway’s long-run champions.

That, they insist, is the secret Ingredient of theatrical Lccess.

“There never was a time to sit down and nurse wounds,” ex- plains Theresa Heliburn.

“We have always had to live a good part of our lives "1 the future —— and that is a good thing,” adds Lawrence Lanvgner.

As a result, the Theatre Guild —a venture that Miss Hel-burn and Langner helped start and have steadfastly tended since — this spring is celebrating comple- tion of its 40th producing sea- son on Broadway.

It is a record that -— to the best of Langne1"s knowledge - has never been approached by any theatrical management here or in England.

SPREAD INFLUENCE

The Theatre Guild has long since stretched its influence far beyond Broadway. It has played a key part in creating today’s touring setup, and helped pioneer major d-namatic efforts in radio and television.

on Broadway it has presented

more than 200 plays, which have _

won seven Pulitzer pries.

“our destiny has constantly run after us,” says Langner in summariing activities that be- gan modestlyin 1918 at a social

‘ gathering in I Greeriswich Village

hotel.

Langner, Miss I-Ielburn and a group of other dewy-eyed young- sters previously launched Wash- ington, Square Players, an ama- teur venture frankly rebellious over the state of commercial the- atre. ‘

The guild’s flirst production al-

_ most was the last. The drama The Bonds of Interest failed and meagnre resources (the guind be- an with 150 sulbscrilloers) were near the vanishing point when by a fluke the troupe discovered St. John Ervine’s John Ferguson, which became a colossal hit. AGAINST STAR SYSTEM

With it the group launched their head-on assault upon the ex lsting commercial “star” ‘theatre which relied chiefly upon name players to attract audiences.

The guild decided instead that the play was the thing—and for 21 years refused to star any per- fonmer. ,

For several years the group im- .ported a rich supply of dramas from Europe-4Strindberg, Milne, Molnar, Bennett, Galsworthy and, most of all, Shaw. Over the years

‘the guild gave the premiere of many Shaw works.

Next the group entered an American 1: has e as Eugene O’Neill, Maxwell Anderson, S. N. Behnman and Robert Sherwood emerged.

For some years the guild also operated I repertory company, filled with such performers as the Lunts, Dudley Digge.-s, Edward G. Robinson, Claude Rains, Glenn Anders, Margalo Gilmore.

One of the most notable of guild in n o v at io n s, musical comedy in’ its present form, be- gan with the Garrick Gtaieties (to which an unknown young com- poser named Richard Rodgers contributed). The In 0 v e m e n‘t reached its peak when Oklahoma! came March 31, 1943.

In other directions the guildin-‘

fluennce has been felt too. ‘Two oft- shoots from it were the Group Theatre and the Playwrights com- pany, and for more experimenta- tion, Langner set up the West- port, Conn., playhouse. The g-uild also helped sire the American , Shakespeare Festival and Acad- emy atstratford, Conn.
