Cycle Christened

For five years, in a script so microscopic that it has to be read through a magnifying glass, Eugene O'Neill has been writing the dramatic history of an American family from 1775 to 1932. O'Neill explained that he was working on scenarios for nine plays, each one complete, but all part of a cycle. The first two would be called Greed of the Meek and And Give Me Death. Last week the Theatre Guild announced that the cycle would be called A Tale of Possessors Self-Dispossessed, that the titles of the other seven plays would be: A Touch of the Poet, More Stately Mansions, The Calms of Capricorn, The Earth's the Limit, Nothing Lost Save Honor, Man on Iron Horseback, A Hair of the Dog. While working on these, O'Neill has also written a non-cycle play poetically entitled The Ice Man Cometh. Now busy working on the cycle from 8:30 to 1:30 every day including Sunday, O'Neill has completed his first four plays, is reported trying to make a 1944 deadline.
