"Martine," a sensi tive study ofa peasant girl a nd her lo ve fo r a youngartist, fulfilled but for a brief moment.I t is a play full of subtly-handled characterization, a pathetically moving revelation of frustrated expression and apoetic understanding which is stronglyakin to that to be found in the poemsof the French revolutionary poet,Andre Chenier, a poet whom theauthor of t he p lay seems to have heldin distinct admiration. The drama willbe given nex t F ri da y evening withFrances Torchiana again in the role ofthe finely-tempered Martine and Waite r Hart as the disillusioning younglover.The program for the remainder ofthe week will he rounded by Shaw' sshrewd and captiva ting comedy, "Captain Bra ssbound' s Conve rs io n, " on\Vednesday, with G re tc hen AntonSmith as its very diver t ing and misguiding heroine, and Edwin Ander sona nd Wil li am Pri ce l ikewise in leadingroles, and Ibsen's las t drama, magnificent in its rhythm of h uman understanding, "When We Dead Awake ,"on Thursday evening, wit h Al fredRowe as Professor Rubeck, MiriamPhillips as Maia Rubeck, and GretchenAnton-Smith as the exalted Irene,"The Mask a nd the Face" will againbe p layed Saturday evening, August9.

the voluntcer' s attitude.
