best friends of the movies, might
possibly prove Heaven-sent to the
Academy award voters on this oc-
casion. This would not necessitate
their unleashing of broadsides
against the RKO-Theater Guild
opus written originally by ONeill
The slightest disparagement on their
part is all Hollywood's prize body
polite is even hoping for. In such
a case, it might be pardoned later
for letting a local boy make good
some months hence when the years
writing prizes are bestowed.
ONeill as a candidate for any
prize is a trouble maker for voters
or boards of judges. In any gener-
alization upon his work, he is every
mans Titan in this century. But
specifically, in the work of any one
year, he demands soul-searching
which is uncomfortable for every
one, and virtually never the process
by which Academy awards are made.
The New York drama critics
turned him down last year for THE
Iceman Cometh," but with no COM
fort to themselves. and with almost
certainly less for any group which
might think to do it a second time.

Mourning Becomes Electra" an
unusually long and certainly
weighty screenplay, will be the more
difficult to assess in terms Of other
movie works for the season for an
other reason. 1t is regarded as one
of the masters real masterworks,
and it has prizes, honors, and al
most venerable prestige to sustain
1t in any new variation.
The Hollywood voters will have to
consider this, and they may not be
happy about it. If they are, it will
be siap-happy, which is not an
admirable kind.
There is. of course, the possible
out for movie prize voters that the
screen version of Mourning Be-
comes Electra" is the work of
another writer, Dudley Nichols.
This provides handy technicality
for the removal of O'Neill's name as
candidate for the hest-screenplay-
of-the-year prize, even as it moves
the enormously gifted Nichols into
that spot, The technicality, of
course, does nothing about eliminat
ing O'Neill as the author of the best
original, from which probably
best movie may be made.
Even in this respect, however, the
Evening star., 1947-11-19

Motion Picture Academy voters are
not finally and absolutely trapped. A
smart one might get up in meeting
and point out that the Electra leg
end is no more original with O'Neill
than with Hollywood.
The whole thing should be in
teresting to watch, as Mourning
Becomes Electra" also will be.
There is no intimation whatever as
to when the picture, formally re-

Equity Library Theater, Actors
Equity's graduate workshop for its
members, has introduced new
wrinkle in it's relation with critics.
Instead of inviting the drama re-
viewers to first performances, it has
suggested they come to fnales. The
theory is that fedgling productions
look better on the sixth or seventh
night than on the first.
In view of the strictly expert
mental nature of the ELT program,
the critics might agree. They will
continue, however. to show up for
the first night of commercial theater
productions - on their bosses and
their own assumption that at today's
prices, the public rates the quickest

Watch Your HairdO
Visit a Beauty ParlOr

If you have long hair, and your
man loves the glamorous way it
flows down your back. and if you
like the satin sickness of straight
hair. here is a new hairdo for
you to try. If you have been wear
ing an updo and you are in a
radical change you will cherish
this new style.
Maybe your hair doesn't CLEAN
with glints of gold or Furnished
lights of copper. But it's pretty
good hair, just the same, isn't it?
Your big job is to give it the cor
rect care. Stimulate circulation
and exercise the scalp by brush
ing your hair. Believe it or not
brushing will make your curls
deeper and softer. You want your
hair to have a fine gloss. Brush
ing will draw the oil down from
the scalp to the dry ends that
need lubricating and will clean
the hair of dust, lint and scales.
This spring hairdos will be i'm
portant from the style angle.
Hair styles are going to be smooth
and simple viewed from the front,
they are being designed for back
interest. You can put your best
face forward, but your hair will be
an all around business.
If you want to look sleek or
combs are in order. For
the sophisticated, flowers lend an
artful look. Procrastination is a
popular sin. Don't be one of those
women who procrastinates about
washing her hair. When you are
tempted to wait until next week
to go to the beauty parlor STOP
right there and say to yourself.
there is no better time than NOW.
