'The Patriots" suppose, Is q
good safe choice. Despite its faults,
historical plays being what they
usually are, you can feel justified
in saying that this Is good job Of

like because have not been tre-
mendously impressed by his previ-
Gus efforts. He is the author Of
Men in White" his first successful
play which, rather surprisingly
won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1884,
and Dead End to name the most
successful.
Won by Is to 4
The surprising thing about the
Circles selection was the lack of
strength shown by Capt. Thornton
Wilder's 1.-The Skin of Our Teeth"
by far the most enchanting, most
controversial stage work we have
had ln several years. "The Patriots"
won out on the seventh ballot by q
score OF IS to after the critics had
suspended their three-fourths rule
in order to avoid stalemate. On the
first ballot Patriots had received
z votes to 8 for Teeth" The latter
lost support steadily after that first
ballet.
A couple of influential members
of the Circle, it was said, regarded
Teeth" as not even worthy OF con-
sideration because of some asper-
Sions that had been cast on it i'm
mediately after its opening last fall
on the grounds that Wilder had
cribbed from the late James Joyce's
novel OF gibberis11 ''Finnegans
Wake" in writing his unorthodox
drama Of mankind from the Ice
Age through the latest war (name
your own date). The charges were
made in an article written by q
couple of pundits who admitted
that they still were studying Fin
negans Wake" In an effort to find
what It Is about. Wilder has not
deigned to reply to them and I-don't
see why he should. In fact If Wilder
did create his play around couple
of fragments of Joyce'S novel. IN
my opinion, he not only is entitled
to the Critics prize. the Pulitzer
Prize, or what have you, but also
ought to be the recipient Of some
kind Of international honorarium
for having been able to bring into
focus any part Of the book.
May Turn Tables
But I believe that Wilder has
demonstrated in the past that he
is q dramatist capable Of having
unconventional ideas. as witness
..Our Town and 1.-The Skin Of Our
Teeth" whatever 1t may or may
not owe TO any source, Is strictly
a Wilder performance and should
have been considered as such.
It would be refreshing surprise
indeed, II the anonymous and
much-abused conservative judges
who annually determine the Pulit-
ser prize play would turn the tables
next month on the generally more
daring. Critics Circle and pick
ssTeeth" instead of some more Or
thodox play such as patriots"
The Circle did not attempt to
name q "best play" Of foreign au-
Elorship because the few importa-
lions that were produced were not
