Miss Ingrid Bergman who does a
word packed, uninterrupted four
minutes in Joan Of Lorraine" at
Lisner Auditorium these days is
runnerup to Barton as of today. In
cidentally, she is quite impressed by
the skill with which ONeill's long
speech was written, and is handled
by Barton. Until she heard 1t done,
she thought her minute run
was quite a span of words.
1t would appear, however, that
even Barton is about to be dwarfed
by truly colossal soliloquy which
Tullalah Bankhead will be speaking
when she gets around to performing
the leading role In Jean Cocteaus
1.-THE Eagle Has Two Heads" The
$500 words, or more, of that Side
will keep Miss Bankhead busy for
straight as minutes. She could. OF
course, jam that many words into
considerably fewer minutes except
for the fact that stage speeches re-
quire pauses, delays, shifts OF moo0
and other variations.
1t should be something to hear,
If only as a test of a voice as mag
nifcent as that of Miss Bankhead. =.

Incidentally, one of the most dra-
matte aspects of the opening per-
formance of 1.-The Iceman Cometh"
on October 8, was the apparent break
Barton made in that 16-minute
speech of ONeill's play. 1t was
barely commented upon, sort of in
passing, by most of the critics.
There were two reasons for this:
First, that it did far less damage
than a less expert recovery could
have caused, and, second, because
it never was clear whether Barton
or the prompter was responsible.
From our second row seat, where
We heard it all, we still think it was
the prompter who was mostly toI
blame.
Barton, the actor who realized
fully what he was faced with, went
into the passage with confidence.
The prompter, a nonactor, had no
such confidence. Every time Barton
paused for effect-and the effects
were always just about perfect-the
prompter apparently was convinced
the actor was lost. He started to fill in
the gaps, and, in the hushed theater.
he filled them in so loudly they must
have been audible in the gallery.
Barton was like a prizefghter roll
ing with the punches of an hyster-
ical opponent. But he was not able
to roll forever. Finally, for just an
instant, he stepped out of the
Hickey role to tell the prompter to
shut up.
For a second, 1t appeared the play
was lost. But just for a second. Bar
ton picked 1t up from there and
went right on as O'Neill had in
tended.
Under the same conditions, 1t is
to speculate on what
Miss Bankhead might say. or do,
to an over-zealous helper holding a
script in the wings.
The dramatic possibilities are vir-
tually Infinite.

This much discussed shortage of
screen material has made Hollywood
conscious of even the poets. Not the
rhymed couplet fellows or the mas
ters of the sardonic sonnet, but those
who write long narrative poems.
Monogram, for instance, has got

do the adaptation Of his own, 1.-THE

policy of selection" in authorizing
an increase from 1854 colonies to
2,108.
Hard and fast rules of seniority
will be thrown in the selection of
capable younger officers. The best
qualified officers will be selected and
promoted, as was often the case dur
ing the war, ahead of their contem-
poraries. Those who are considered
the general run of the mine" will
get their promotions but at the slow
tedious pace from grade to grade
1t is expected the rate of advance
for officers, generally, will be speed
ed up somewhat through the retire
ment features of the legislation
which will be submitted to Con-
gvess. This will contain provisions
of the retirement bill blocked in
the Senate during the closing days
Of the last Congress.
Retirement of the less desirable
officers will be made easier, princi-
pally through an increase in the
aver age dlliiudl dItl lbiOil / dGC VI y 2
per cent. BY that is meant the
normal losses through death, resig-
nations, retirement and the like.
Gen. Eisenhower previously testi-
fed that studies have shown that
to keep your officer corps at the
very top level, getting rid of every
man you think you should not have,
the attrition rate ought to be some
thing greater, up to 51a per cent. "
Later, the Chief of Staff suggested
an elimination of at least four per
cent a year, when we get all our
retirement and elimination laws in
proper order" That rate, he be-
lieved, would make the Army vital
organization"
The present attrition rate has
been about $50 officers a year. A
rate of per cent in terms of pres
ent Army strength would bring the
annual elimination to about $50 and
the higher attrition rate would
mean getting rid of at least 1000
year.
