Times second full-length factual

cooperation and assistance OF the
United States Marine Corps. And
this, in de Rochemonts own words,
is the story Of its genesis:
"On December 7, got a call from
Richard Maedler, a March Of Time
cameraman. He was just out Of
port on a ship bound for Pearl
Harbor. The news had just come
in about the Jap attack. Maedler
asked me for orders and did a
lot Of fast thinking and then told
him to get off the ship somehow,
head back for San Diego and start
taking pictures of the marines in
training there.

just defeat you, words impossible Of
translation. The modern Russian
apparently speaks as much slang
as we do, and their slang is the
toughest part of a translator's job.
Look. Take 'nichavo,' for in

means much more than that to a
Russian. 1t means, oh, h.. what

translation of the actual. idiomatlc

American to use in Russian set
ting! So you have to hunt for
something else that won't destroy
the authentic Russian picture and
won't lose any Of the original Rus
sian meaning. And there are a
couple Of dozen words like that in
The Russian People
What helps to keep me hopeful
about the outcome of my efforts is
that Russians have already done for
me, and done most successfully,
what I am doing for Konstantin
Simonov. Three of my plays are
well known in Russia through the
good Offices of translators: Till the
Day Die is now playing in Turk

gladder than ever that was return
ing the compliment a little. by Civ
ing American audiences an acting
version Of one of the best Soviet
plays. sic, The Russian People"
Let us hope that Mr. Odets found
the other fellows ideas as inter-
esting as his own Or even more
intriguing. One close to the theater
and its people can occasionally note
trade winds that indicate impor-
tance. One of these is the fact
that Goth Century-Fox has bought
so per cent interest in the Simonov
play. Before they did this they
must have read the script and dis
cerned story and action that could
be readily transposed into a scenario.
Other companies are prepared to
bid for the rights.
So Monday night we may expect
a picture of todays Russia, as ex-
pressed through the medium of one
of the Soviet's most gifted pens.
We may have a chance to peer into
the hearts of a sorely beset people,
glimpse the depths of their war
aims. Van Wyck Brooks wrote a
truism which is vital today when
he said: "A mans work is more the
product Of his race than of his art,
for man may supremely express
his race without being an artist.

The appositeness of this theme to

and Margaret Barker into the New

Author Is Stain Favorite.
Perhaps 1t took some persuasion
to have Mr.. Odets undertake to in
terpret somebody else's creative
effort. He has his own ideas on
play structure, writes vital and
earthly dialogue but, according to
the metropolitan critics. finds his
greatest hurdle the third act. The
classic Russian theater of other
days, particularly plays of family
life, are generally without great
movement though they give pene-
trating insight into the character
Of people.
Author Simonov, who has Joseph
Stalin's highest blessing. is said to
possess a keen sense of the theater,
better values on the purpose of stage
movement, an uncanny sense of the
dramatic. One hears whispered
from rehearsal halls that The Rus

and melodramatic incident. What
