GRIPES OF WRATH.
By John Steinhack.
Chapter 1.
Tom Joad walked along the
dusty road. The dusty road passed
under Tom Joad. The road was
dusty. It was also a road. Tom
Joad was walking on it.
His feet crunched on the gravel
. . crunch, crunch, crunch.
Crunch, crunch, crunch . . . (We
could fill up a whole chapter this
way if we d a mind to.)
Suddenly a big truck roared
down the road. It was an awfully
big truck. It was simply huge.
It bore down on Tom Joad who
was crunching along the dusty
road.
Poellet, Hill,

in it's trials, hatreds
Mary, Mother of Christ, played

the leading characters in "Family
Portrait, University Flayers sec
ond production of the season which
opens tonight at the Temple.
"Famjly Portrait," a New York
stage success written by Lenore
Coffee and William Joce Cowen,
is the story of the family of
Christ. It presents his family as
typical provincial family. Their
reaction to a genius in the family
is the theme of the drama, but at
no time does Christ appear.
Tribulations.
This Nazarane family has all
the trials, loves, and hatreds of
any ordinary family. Their occu
pation is carpentry, and they are
bothered by an older brother, the
best carpenter of them all, who
goes off on pilgrimages when they
most need his help. The story
deals with the driving of Christ
from his home synagogue when
he attempts to preach there, and
proves the old adage that . a
prophet is not without fame ex
cept in his own town.
