JULIUS CAESAR Through the courtesy of the Radio Guild Company, dramatizations of great literary works are presented over the radio. One of the most outstanding of those already given was 'flulius Caesarf' by VVilliam Shakespeare, who needs no introduction to any of us. The plot is concerned with the supposedly treacherous murder of the great Roman general, Julius Caesar, by his friend and companion-in-arms, Marcus Brutus. Brutus' motive was to save his beloved Rome from what he knew would be a tyrranical reign if Caesar gained the throne. Though the play is entitled Julius Caesarf' the real hero proves to be Marcus Brutus. The actors are capable and competent, thus giving a vivid idea of the story. and creating an interest in such literary masterpieces. R. D.-9 CROWDS I See it massive on the street, Wave on wave, as grows the wheat. Hurrying, scurrying on and on, Coming, going, going. gone. II Out of nowhere they appear, Making haste from far and near, Big and small and fat and lean, The oddest sights are always seen. Rich man, poor man, beggar and thief, Joyous, angry, sad with grief, Mixed expressions on each face, Each one of a different race. III Walking, talking, skipping, tripping, Each at some thought gripping, Seems just like a mighty ocean: Endless, endless is its motion, Will it, shall it, can it end? Nav, its force will never bend, Daily it will grow in strength, And mile on mile will stretch its length. Pmiu. ROSENBI-IRG, A7 BEING SIXTEEN Sixteen brings with it all the evils of a superiority complex. I walk around with a patronizing air and a sarcastic ring in my voice. I condescend to speak to children and I lift my eyebrows in polite surprise. VVith terrific gravity and sever dignity I walk down the block looking neither to left nor right. I wouldn't think of associating with children younger than I am. Ah! but inwardly my mental strife when I see a girl of fifteen skating' on roller skates! I yearn to roll along once more while chewing a long licorice stick. But I dare not give vent to suchi belittling thoughts. I watch the children jump rope and play potsy with a feeling akin to regret. Yet I walk past with a dis- dainful sniff and a toss of my head. Maybe I should be listed under the heading of Complex, yet what can a girl of sixteen do? It really is a case for a psychiatrist. ESTHI-:R IXIARKOWITZ, A5-505 10
