...significant plays dealing with the problem of that basic section of the population--the workers." Their play "Stevedore," running highly worth seeing, and too few see it. With their limited resources the New Theatre Players do an excellent job. The casting is perfect. The play suffers, like most avowedly propagandist plays, from too much earnestness on the part of the playwrights (Paul Peters and George Sklar).

Playwright Wolf, a German Communist whom Adolf Hitler chased into Russia, has built a strapping propagandist melodrama out of the Cattaro incident. And, like the best dramatic works now being presented in the U. S. S. R., Sailors of Cattaro disguises its bias and adds to its interest with some penetrating Communist self-criticism...
