Nobody had said anything to him
about our coming and we knew
he must be up there to argue
against us. We almost decided to
call the whole thing off and take
our licking. But before we had

or so. When he's nervous, he
smokes cigarettes, one after the
other, all the time holding his
cigar in one hand and chewing on
it in between. Finally, he couldn't t
stand it any longer. He inter-

we didn't have a chance. Then
suddenly I noticed him scowling
at one of the fellows on the other
side and pointing his finger at
him and all at once both members
of our delegation who understood
English, broke out in big grins.
Not til then did it dawn on me:
Bowers was arguing our case.
He had flown all the way to
Washington, without saying
word to us, to help us present our
arguments. He had the whole
story right there in his head. three
briefcases full of figures, too. and
he told it so we'll that when he

about his distaste for dictatorship
in Europe or in South America
nor of his admiration for the kind
of democracy which the Chileans
and Uruguayans practice.
The Chileans love him, even
though he doesn't speak their
language. Some. incidentally. are
convinced that he does, that he
merely uses the time which an in
terpreter provides to think over
what he's going to say.

A Trif|e of q Comedy
By Lawrence Perry

Eyes, NJ Lord" a comedy by w.
Douglas Home, imported from
London after a long run, isn't
much of a play from the stand
point of plot and other essentials.
Yet it furnished this reviewer with
the most amusing evening he has
enjoyed in any theater for long
time, regardless of what the
whimsical work lacks. It is based
on an excellent paradoxical idea
with company superbly gifted in
putting it into effect.
Treating lightly the transition
of England from a conservative to
liberal government, Home submits
an elderly earl, aloof in his castle
from the welter of political vicis-
situes. The earl doesn't give a
hoot who runs the country, so long
as he is left alone to guard his
demesne against the encroach-
ment of rabbits-he is constantly
blazing away at the rodents with
q rifle from the French window of
his drawing room-while his lady,
who votes the Labor ticket, is con-
cerned in nurturing a brood of
ducks.

Of the average Berliner. This en-
abled him to absorb the feel of
the city without attracting undue
attention. He rode airlift and
spent many hours with the men
who carried the tremendous under
taking through so brilliantly. He
bartered with landladies for food
and room. He travelled the full
course of the Berlin subway which
penetrates all four quarters of the
city and is bound in enough red
tape to drive a commuter out of
his mind.
The Perlberg-Seaton team has
an established method of thresh-
ing out the details of a story.
Seaton takes the subjective atti-
tude and Perlberg the objective
side. To all Seaton's creative en-
thusiasrns Perlberg hurls dash
of cold-water logic. If it survives
the assault, both feel it is good
enough for the finished story.
Final decision was to tell the
airlift story through the personal
experiences of one of its fliers-
Montgomery Clfft-his romance
with q beautiful young German
girl (Cornelia Bruch) and the
monkey wrench tossed into the
machinery by Paul Douglas.

most people the lift was a gallant
gesture from land of plenty to q
people with nothing at all.
Few people understand that
cargo flown in by our airmen had
been bought and paid for by the
German economy and sold to the
German people. We want to give
our audience a clear picture of the
complex workings of city split
into four sectors by. four nations
and surrounded by four zones
which fan out far beyond the city
limits"
Through wire recordings Of the
pilots conversations, Perlberg and
Seaton have drawn much of the
essential comedy of what other
wise might have been a grimly
tragic story. The pilots are being
pictured, automatically, as boys
and men of all ages and from all
parts of the United States.
