Capital Is Theme
Of Spewack Force,
And a Funny One
By Mark Borron
NEW YORK.

The new Samuel Spewack
comedy, Two Blind Mice" which
arrived on Broadway last night. is
seemingly pure farce. a package
designed for laughs. But. pre-
sented as an incident behind the
scenes in the Government bureaus
as operated around the avenues of
Washington, D. c., it could cause
some funny and blushing faces.
Playwright SpeWack presents
the case history of an office which
hasn't existed in Washington
Government affairs since it was
officially abolished by Congress
during the administration of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt. But,
somewhere in the multifarious
channels of Government paper
work, the order was lost and so. in
this year of 1949, the office of
medicinal herbs still is operating
in the Office of Seeds and Stand
ards, Washington, D. c.
The Office hasn't had a Govern
ment appropriation since the
agency was abolished. But. the
staff members are continuing its
operation by financial aid they
received from using the Govern
ment Offices as a place for a
rhumba dance parlor, a pants
pressing shop and various other
small business projects.
Melvyn Douglas operates the
Office as a spurious co-ordinator
because he wants to keep the
people on the office payroll work
ing. His own selfish interest is
that he is trying to win back his
wife from a romance with a well
meaning man who wants foreign
career.
1t is light and frequently
funny play. performed with a nice
appreciation of farce by Douglas
Mable Paige and Laura Pierpont
the latter two veteran graduates
of stock and vaudeville in the
South and Middle West.

Television hasn't caught the
movie cameramen mapping.
The Board of Governors Of the
American Society of Cinematog-
raphers (ASC) has a committee
studying equipment and tech
niques related to live television
and television films.
Research projects include anal
yses to determine the best type of
film for TV transmission, the best
types of shots, the suitability of
current lighting techniques. the
extent to which fundamental mo-
ton picture theater film methods
can be utilized and the application
of process photography (back-
ground projection to live tele-
vision.
It's a big order. Leading cine
photographers compare the impor-
tant role of electronic engineers
in TV to that of sound technicians
in movie studios 25 years ago. and
to the part played more recently
by chemists in adding color to
motion pictures.
When sound came in, camera
men stood quietly by while sound
technicians told them what could
or could not be done in the new
medium. After a few months Of
this. film producers realized they
were no longer making motion
pictures. At least, the result
didn't move much, even If 1t
sounded fine. When the camera
men had watched proceedings long
enough to learn what changes in
technique were necessary, they
regalned their important position
in the process of making movies.
Many cinematographers see a
parallel in the present initial
phase of television.

Committee is comprised of such
prominent cameramen as Victor

Playwrights and professional
Wrestlers have a lot in common:
They sweat lot. Each is subject
to wide assortment of aches and
pains.
But the wrestler can ease his
bruises at the local apothecary,
whereas the Observation-Disclosures
pain is beyond medicipe-must
work out his own salvation.
If you think gouged eye or a
bruised kidney is worse than the
mental shenanigans of a writer
who has misplaced a line of dia-
logue. or messed up a scene, go
and see Arthur Miller. whose
Death of a Salesman" currently
is the big noise on Broadway.
Miller is a product of the WPA
writer's project and the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. He is the collapsible
type. Whether you meet him in
restaurant or a producers office,
he settles almost imperceptibly in
his chair as he talks until his g.
feet-2la inches are draped over
most of the furniture in sight.
His face is gaunt and angular.
Miller hates people to say he re-
sembles Abraham Lincoln. which
he does. He has brown eyes. He is
33 years old.
Saved for College.
Arthur Miller was born in New
York, but moved to Brooklyn when
he was II and went to high school
there. Then he got job at an
auto parts warehouse and saved
enough to go to the University of
Michigan.
Il wanted to write and I wrote
plays for years, dozens of them,
until I discovered I didn't know
how to write"
But at Michigan Miller began to
catch on. He won two awards in
his sophomore and junior years.
He also met Mary Slattery, fell
low student from Lakewood, Ohio
and eventually they were married.
They have a daughter Jane, aged
412, and a son Robert, II months.
In my senior year at Michigan
they had lousy football teams
while I was there-I won $1,25O
in a national playwriting contest
sponsored by the Theater Guild
1t was called They Too Arise.
The WPA put it on in the Middle
West, but it never reached New
York.
Then I got a job with WPA,
but it didn't last. The depression
was about over and it folded after
three months.
For the next year, I suppose
you could say I was unemployed.

There is nothing lonelier, or more
