y ''DRAMA IN
"Porgy" Opens at the Guild
Decentralization of Du Bose Heyward's Novel Is a
Realistic Portrayal of Negro Life in So Carolina

The Theatre Guild opened its sea-
son this week with 'Porgy," a dram
atization of DuBose Heyward's novel
of Negro life in South Carolina.
Dramatizations of novels usually fall
short of realizing the full scope and
character analysis of the original,
and this is not an exception. The
mystic poetry of the crippled beggar,
Porgy, is lost in the dramatized
version as played by Frank Wilson.
Then, too, the play is disiointed and
confusing, with its four acts and nine
scenes of mass action alternating
with occasional, for the most part,
uninspiring, solo parts. AS a realistic
portrayal of life, however, the play is
all that could be expected And At
may be desirable to sacrifice dramatic
unity for realism.
The curtain rises on a summer eve
ming crap game in Catfish Row, in
the Negro quarter of Charleston. We
see the natural gaiety of the life
there, followed quickly, however, by
quarrel over the game and the kill
ing of Robbins by Crown, a stevedore,
who escapes into the night as the
crowd disappears into the congested
quarters off the courtyard
In the next scene the mourners are
assembled in the widows room sing
ing "Deat' amt yuh gots no shame ?"
in the most thrillingly stirring man.
ner imaginable. The group finally
reaches pitch of frenzied religious
fervor as night casts the shadows of
the gesticulating mourners on the
wall, adding to the weird creepy feel
ing created by the whole moving
scene. This and the other crowd
scenes reveal the skilful sympathetic
direction of Reuben Mamoulian in all
its glory.
Crowns Bess, who has gone to live
with Porgy upon Crowns escape, en-
counters Crown after a community
picnic month later on a nearby
island. She does not return to Cat
fish Row for two days and when she
does she acts demented for some time,
until Maria, the keeper of the board
ing house (superbly acted by Georg-
cite Harvey sends one of the "boys"
with some money to get the "cunjur"
woman to drive out the devil, and a
few friends say prayers for Bess'
soul. Bess, apparently miraculously,
RECEIVERS, but the messenger comes
back drunk and Maria upbraids him
for leaving poor Bess to the mercy
of Christian prayers.
Crown later returns to Catfish Row
to claim his Bess, but is killed by
Porgy as he tries stealthily to enter
Porgy's doorway. The way the peo-
pie lie consistently to protect their
fellows against the questions of the
white police and sheriff may have
some parallels in the relation of the
entire proletariat to the agents of the
capitalist class. And in this play the
tactic works.
One would think Porgy would now
have no fear of the alienation of his
Bess' affection, but a young vendor
of "happy dust" lures her away with
the magic drug, for which she has
weakness, and promises of gay life
in New York, and the play ends with
Porgy getting into his goat cart to
drive to New York and get her.
