Mr. Cofemon ' s VTdtcf: ' Wings Over Europe ' In Fine Version By moH Cb uc The Yeshiva College Players grave a splendid produc- tion of The Modern Prometheus, a streamlined version of Wings Over Europe, whicii the Theatre Guild pro- duced some years ago, at the Lamport Theatre, Amsterdam Ave., and 186th St., last evening. The R. Nichols and M. Browne £lAamatic script, thanks to the changes raade by the Yeshiva Players, is timely indeed. When first pro- duced it was merely prophetic and there were few then in ilie mood for prophecy. The Modem Prometheus has to do with a young scientist w lio invents a method of controlling the atom. With it he plans to bring a higher standard of liv- ing, new freedom and happiness to the world. But cabinet politicians, selfish and short-sighted, fear the ideal- istic scientist and his program. They see in the invention tlie end of conquest and war and they seek it to conquer via war. Can ' t Kill It A hotheaded cabinet minister shoots the young scientist, when he refuses to listen to proposals to destroy his atom control o[ permit its misuse. But hardly has the shot barked when word comes that others have discovered the secret and propose to bring about a new and better order through its use. As the philosophic minister for foreign affairs observes, you may hinder progress and fight ideal- ism, but they will win out in the end. And a program note so aptly puts it, in The Modern Prome- theus ' the smugness and sterile thought of the middle 20 ' s are held up to the view of the gener- ation which is learning Xo shape new standards In the crucible of the bitterest, costliest and most engulfing of all wars in the his- tory of mankind. The Nichols-Brown play relies .)n mental rather than physical conflict for effect. It is a script :o tax the competence of profes- sional actors. It must be acted 10 the hilt to hold the interest throughout an evening. Top First Cast That the Yeshiva Players have been able to make it a gripping, al)Sorbing and stimulating adven- ture in playgoing is high tribute to the calibre of their perform- ance. They got more from it than did the original cast. The acting Is so uniformly ex- cellent that it would be ungra- cious to single out individual players for mention, so we will introduce them in order of their appearance. They are: David Mirsky, Harold SchuJ- weis, Harold Miller, AUen Man- delbaum, Morris Epstein, Ber- nard Reiss, Herman Tjinenbaum, .Mbert Salkowitz, Nathan Rosen- baum, Harold Lebowitz, Henry Margolis, Philip Horowitz, Jer- ome Robbins and MjTon Reis. Anatole Winogradoff ' s fine direction also merits an appre- ciative salute. The setting by J. Shelley Applbaum and Harry .Schumer is helpful. MR. HARRY SCHUMER The column which Is reproduced on this page from the N. Y. Daily Mirror of May 28, Is the finest tribute that could possibly be paid to any college — or for that matter, professional — dramatic group; supreme critical acclaim by a New York drama reviewer. But when all is said and done, when the final credit lines are distributed, we of Yeshiva know that all the praise and all the accolades are deserved by only one person — Mr. Harry Schumer. For it has been through the generosity of this unassuming and untiring friend of the Players and of Yeshiva that the Dramatic Society has been equipped with Broadway sets, props, lights and a beautiful curtain. Through the efforts of Mr. Schumer, as well, our latest production was graced by the fine direction of Mr. Anatole Wlnogradoff of Broadway fame. Words alone cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for our open-handed and unbelievably generous friend. We shall always carry with us the Inspiration provided by Harry Schumer, a great-hearted man and a loyal friend of the boys. Tivenly-eight
