Scenes from "Ancient Heritage: A play of New England aristocracy" by Philip Parker
Caption: "'Ancient Heritage: A play of New England Aristocracy.' By Philip Parker (Massachusetts). The Characters: Sarah Bancroft (Jane Cover); Carrie Bancroft (Mildred Howard); Edward Kendall (The Author); Richard Kendall (William Wang). Time: the present. A morning in June. Place: the living room of the Bancroft-Kendall home in a suburban New England town. Director: Douglas Hume. 'Ancient Heritage' by Philip Parker of Reading, Massachusetts is a play of three centuries of New England tradition. The two women represented are an integral part of the two-hundred-year-old red frame house, the scene of the play. They are one with the giant elm which guards it and the ancestral pines which shade it from the summer heat. Sarah and Carrie Bancroft, the author's kinswomen represent the fierce pride and true humility of the family in decadence. Mr. Parker has created a crisis in the lives of these two which in reality they barely escaped. He has succeeded admirably, it seems to us, in presenting an hones picture of his own people with affection and tolerance." RF photo #21122g. -

Scenes from "Tooth or Shave" by Josephine Niggli
Caption: "'Tooth or Shave.' A Mexican folk comedy by Josephine Niggli. The characters: Anselmo, a barber (Robert Nachtmann); Maria, his wife (The Author); Tomas, a carpenter (Irving Suss); Juanita, wife of Tomas (Ellen Deppe). Scene: The street of Juarez and Maximiliano in the town of El Carmen, not very far from Monterrey, Mexico. Time: The present. An early morning in spring. A Mexican folk play: Josephine Niggli, the author of 'Tooth or Shave,' is a native on Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Her home is an old Mexican estate with a casa grande (great house), La Quinta del Carmen, 'The House of Flowers' of many acres, 400-orange and pecan trees, and many servants. The author tells us the story of her comedy: 'Anselmo, whose real name is Porfirio, is a barber living in a little town near my own town of Hidalgo. He is the brother of our watchman, and when I was small he used to ride me around on his broad shoulders whenever he came to the house to visit old Nacho. I remember how startled he was when I, with all the dignity of eleven, informed him that the earth moved around the sun. Of all the Mexicans I have ever known, Porfirio, with the mind and heart of a child, is still my favorite. The story of the blackmailing scheme grew out of an argument I once heard between Porfirio and Nacho when they were trying to show each other and me how brave they really were. Although now I realize that it was just so much talk, at the time I actually thought that any moment Porfirio was going to kneel down and have his head struck off. Maria, Juanita, and Tomas are common types, to be found in any Mexican village. The story of Maria's ten pesos, which se was saving for her funeral, is not as absurd as it may seem, as many of the poorer class women in Mexico do just that.'" RF photo #21191q. -
