for hostile propaganda, have aroub-
ed so much favorable feeling
throughout the country that they
may be continued next fall.
Discussions are under way to map
a hard-hitting radio campaign in
which Americas best known authors
will write radio dramas emphasizing
American freedom, As in the seiies
just concluded stars of stage and
screen will play the leading roles.
Neither authors nor stars are paid
in Free Company productions. They
donate their .services as *a contri
bution to American unity in critical
tinves.
The series wound up with the
production of the late Sherwood An
derson’s play, "Above Suspicion,"
last Sunday. Pau! Lukas, who played
the lead, is the star in the Broadway
hit, “Watch on the Rhine,’’ which has
just won the Drama Critics Circle
award.

heard, but could not get scrips com

John Steinbeck was jammed with
other commitments, and George M.
Cohan in a similar position.
The demand is increasing for print
ed booklets of The Free Company
play.s, sold at ten cent.s to cover print
ing and mailing costs. Thousands
have been sent to listeners. Printing''
orders above original e.stimatcs have
been nece.ssary.
Schools, patiiotic organizations and
other sotieties order the play book
