chances to become a great
Violinist.
The principal character IN
the play is a young italian boy
as sensitive as q radio beam
and as ruthless as q tornado. It
seems the movie people are hav-
Ing casting trouble and can't
find the right man for the job.
The general consensus is that
tie fight game has never pro-
duced such an anomaly whose
gloves beat out in swing time
while his heart would rather
hear sweet music.
But there has been many a
man in the ring who might have
been the model for Odets' hero.
There have been guys whose
beetle brows and shovel noses
we're only masks and whose
hairy chests hid aesthetic souls.
OF course, the human body is
. malleable thing and often
some hideouS architecture re-
suits from catching scores Of
punches over a period Of years.
So you'd hardly associate such
hard-looking apples with gen.
tie thought.
Ninety per cent Of the pugs
doing business today are blessed
with an oversupply Of muscle
but they must have been out to
lunch when the brain packages
were given out. It Is of the other
10 per cent we speak. offhand,
we could name lots Of fighters
who would have fitted the Odets
character like Grandma used to
fit those hourglaSs dresses.
Ross Is One
There's Barney Ross. the vel
terweight champion, for IN
stance. Barney is hardly the
tough mug you'd expect. He was
born in the toughest part OF
Chicago and had the horrible
experience of seeing his father
murdered by q gang Of thugs.
The picture has been carved in
delibly in Ross mind, and speak
ing to him you have the peculiar
sensation of talking to a little
boy and yet to a man whose de-
sire to escape his earlier, Sordid
surroundings is as relentless as
Quicksand.
The first thing you notice
about Ross are his eyeS-WiStful
and depthless. like a deer. Yet
those dark eyes smolder when
Barney is in the ring and when
he is hurt he is an unyielding,
vicious machine.
There's Lou Ambers, the light
weight champion. AS a child,
Lou was burned in a fire. He
had an intimate acquaintance
with poverty and hard luck has
dogged him all his life. But it
didn't leave him bitter. Lou is a
gentleman in his trade and has
a heart as big as his body. We
saw Ambers knock out a boy
called Tony Scarpati in New
York about two years ago. Scar
patti died as a result of injuries
in that fight and Ambers prob
ably took his death harder than
the boys own family.
He cried for days and broken
heartedly vowed he would never
fight again. But he did. Lou
has a large family of brothers
and a mother whom he adores.
It Is because of them he has
continued as q fighter when he
wants to be a Saxophone player.
How is that for q parallel to
OdetS' character?
Then. of course, there is that
outstanding example, Gene Tun.
ney. and more latterly Max
Schmeling. On the surface, you
wouldn't accuse Schmeling Of
being sensitive. He appears too
stold and phlegmatic.
