WASHINGTON, Uf) Early October has been selected for the long reported visit to this country by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince .Philip. -This was learned yesterday from persons familiar with the ne gotiations that have been under way for months between Washinglori and London. The British Queen and her husband are expected to spend about 10 days in this country. This will be the Queen's first visit to America since she ascended the throne in 1952. She and her husband, then the Duke of Edinburgh, were here in 1951 as the guests of former President Truman. It is expected that the Queen's formal acceptance of an invitation from President Eisenhower will be received here in two or three weeks. This will be the signal that all the myriad details for a state visit J have finally been worked out with Elaborate secrecy has marked the negotiations ever since they be gan, as is usual in such cases, but it is expected that the royal visit will include other cities besides Washington.

The "Peer Gynf on view at the re3t -Tbeatre is a -breMh- taking success; in a new transia- tion and adaptation by Director j ; Kai Jurgenson, Ibsen has been ; lifted from the academic stag- j nancy of past American versions,' and given color and grandeur and poetry. The four main characters are beautifully played. Ken Lowry plays the title role with grace and vitality, and almost any one of his scenes is far better than any thing the Playmakers have done this year up to now. As the Button Moulder, Al Gor don is wonderfully sophisticated and sure in movement and voice. Bettina Jinette, playing Peer's mother, is convincingly wretched, torn between love for her son and despair at his life. As the temptress, Amanda Meiggs casts a spell: she is grotesquely sens uous, dancing and acting beauti fully and making the very most out of a very, nice part.
