Steinbeck's N.v«l This Week
"The Moon Is Down," now playing
at the Metropolitan, is a dramatiza-
tion of the Steinbeck novel which
caused so much controversy when
it appeared in 1942. It is the story
of the stubborn resistence of the
conquered people of Norway, the oc-
cupation of t.heir Nazi masters, and
the gradual crumbling of the Nazi
marble in one small village which
refuses to associate with the men
whom it is forced to recognize as
rulers.
The town, important because of a
mine located near it, is placed in
charge of a German colonel and a
small garrison of men. The officers,
isolated from the townsmen by the
barrier of implacable hatred which
the natives erect, far from their
friends, and removed from,the prop-
aganda which has kept them nerved
for their task, begin to break under
the strain. The climax is the fate
of a neurotic young lieutenant, who
seeks refuge in the company of a
young widow, not knowing, as she
knows, that it was he who command-
ed the firing squad which shot her
husband.
Cedrick Hardwick appears as the
colonel, a character which has been
much criticized because of Stein-
beck's ommission of the familiar
"Beast of Berlin" characterization.
Others in the distinguished cast in-
clude Henry Travers as the mayor,
Lee J. Cobb, Doris Bowdon, Marga-
ret Wycherly, Peter Van Eyck, Wil-
liam Post, and E. J. Ballantine.
