The NOncOnformist
Myerberg Departs From the Pattern Again
With "Dear Judas"
By Jock OBrion

Michael Myerberg, who is cover
ing quite theatrical gamit by pro,
ducing a play he wrote in a the,
ater he oWns-the Mansfield-is NJ
respecter of the tried and accepted
forms of Broadway dramatic ex.
preston. In fact, Mike seems tt
be a gentleman who will not sticl
his nose into anything unless il
presents major problem of 6
controversial sort.
His newest production. "Deal
Judas" stage version of a dramatic
poem by Robinson Jeffers, sched.
uled to open next Sunday, October
5, already has caused tempest in 8
New England religious teapot. Since
1t concerns Judas Iscariot, betrayel
OF Jesus Christ, naturally church
circles are interested in its dramatic
development. And since it traces
the story Of Judas in somewhat
more favorable terms than the dis
loyal disciples reputation accord
ing to accepted Bible history, il
already has attracted some clerical
opposition.
Play Avoided Boston.
Prominent lay churchmen an
nounced their opposition to the
dramas production while it was
undergoing a summer theater try
out in Ogonquit, Me, during
August. While it was not techni-
cally an object of official Boston
censorship. Myerberg said the stub
born unofficial opposition to its
performance in the Hub, where it
was to have tried out before its
New York premiere, was enough to
discourage any attempt to present
it there.
After all, it is not an immoral
play, and I did not want to incur
official widespread wrath against a
play of such sacred content Myer-
berg said during rehearsals recently.
The drama approaches its theme
from a thoroughly reverent tangent.
1t is handled with all the complete
respect such a sacred story de-
This latest disavowal of the
Broadway-expected had precedent
years ago, when Myerberg first illus
trated a contempt for the simple
boy -meets-girl stage formula. He
produced Thornton Wilders "The
Skin of Our Teeth" which had al
most as many folks walking out of
the theater muttering their dazed
confusion as left in delighted praise
Of an unusual play excellently pro-
duced and acted.
Dared With Lutte Song
Only last season Myerberg again
defied the buffers who insist that
what's trite is right by showing off
Mary Martin in strange and deli
cate Chinese fantasy, Lutte Song
Some sidelight into the Myerberg
theatrical manner can be noted by
the fact that Dear Judas" while
only four speaking roles,
has cast of 40, background music
adapted from the compositions of
Johann Sebastian Bach, and chore-
ography in ballet form designed by
Esther Junger.
Myerberg pointed out. that Dear
Judas is not the first attempt to
portray the disciple on the Broadway
stage in a style which doesn't con-
form. In 1925, he said, Basil Rath-
bone was the author and star of a
drama entitled Judas" which traced
Evening star., 1947-09-28

the Iscariot story, from somewhat
the same themotic tangent as Dear
Judas The history of the Rath-
bone production apparently does not
interest Myerberg at this time. For
the record, however, Judas" ran
three weeks.

Barter Economy
Proposed to End

BY the Associated Press

Back of Britain's IS per cent tax
on United States films is the simple
fact that the British don't like to
have United States firms shipping

Rogers with an idea he hopes will
break the deadlock.
In a letter to Prime Minister
Clement Attlee, Rogers says, 81

Rogers says he has talked with
