the fiery Miss Morrison backstage
at Ford's or wrestling with her
passionate demons in q garden
In Padua, he Is an engagingly
sophisticated lover. Shakespeare
and the Spewacks are in full
agreement that he is a man who
has ~ been around, especially
around women. On her part, Miss
Morrison has travelled, too. Their
lovers quarrels in the rhythms Of
Shakespeare andfor Porter are
engagingly listenable. Moreover,
no two physiological illustrates
ever looked better in wardrobes
ranging from backstage dressing
gowns to old Padua's most aris-
tocratic fashions. Ayers. by the
way, is responsible for these also.
The radio and record makers
have let a lot of people in on
the music of kiss Me. Kate" +"
but the truth is-as it always
will be-that it really Is not
heard until 1t is heard in con-
text. so In Love-" "Vunderbar. I"
"I Hate Men," Were Thine That
Special Face" I've Come to
Wife It Wealthily in Padua."
Brush Up Your Shakespeare"
and the rest of the varied score
sounds precisely right only at
the Century.
Shakespeare's comedy has given
kiss Me. Kate's" writing collab-
orators a wealth Of supporting
characters. Chief among these
are a comic soubrette Elisa Kirk
whose show-stopping moment is
the sophisticated ditty. Always
True to You in My Fashion" Love
has not been more amusingly
sung than Miss Kirk sings it
here. Her special collaboration is
Bill Calhoun, an agile young
dancer who leads this department
of the musical.
The material on which Calhoun
and the ornate dance ensembles
work is the creation of Hanya
Holm, q choreographer whose in
spiration is up to the smart idiom
Of this latest version Of Shakes
peare's fascinating shrew.
The low comedy chores of kiss
Me, Kate" are assigned to a cou-
pie Of old timers. Harry Clark
and Jack Diamond, who surely
will live happily ever after con-
vinced that this Shakespeare was
the greatest burlesque gagman of
all time.
So will you. after seeing kiss
Me, Kate"

that 1t seems mere exhibitionism
to nominate another. Yet a good
case could be made for Designer
Lemuel Ayres as the real ma
gician of the total project. Deal
ing with musical comedy whose
subject is how a theatrical COM
pany produced Tanning of the
Shrew" at Ford's theater in Bal
timore, Mr.. Ayers is up against
a terrific problem of time and
space.
At the wave of a light, the
glide Of a platform stage and
the fall of a curtain, he must
transform 1949 Baltimore into
ancient Padua, then switch it
back again all through the two
melodic acts. It Is astounding
what a madcap Baltimore turns
out to be in Designer Ayers
hands. No one ever will be able
to think Of it in the old unfiatter-
ing terms ever again.
It is true, as has been said,
that Mr.. Porter wrote less than
one of his most distinguished
scores for Kiss Me, Kate" The
tact remains. however. that It
Is most adequate musical ac-
compartment for one of the most
intelligent musical comedy books
in years.
This latter is the most delight
full grace of the whole delightful
experience Of going to the Gen.
tury-probably any time during
the next several seasons.
1t was bright of the Spewacks
to realize how amusing 1t could
be to see performers such as
Drake and Miss Morrison fighting
more venomously of ff-stage than
on during a production Of Tam
ing Of the Shrew." There they
are, trying to get Shakespeare's
comedy into shape for Baltimore's
first nighters and being involved
in an angrier amour in the per-
sonal lives than in their roles
as Shakespeare's Petruchio and
Katharine. This is two fights for
the price of one, or two shrew
tamings. SO why should it not
turn out to be the bargain every
one wants to buy in New York?
n
Drake. a much more expert
performer than when he played
Curley In the original "Okla-
homa!" company, has not the
same quality of music to sing
in his new hit, but his latest is
q far richer acting role. Stalking

S~0AS' "AAo WAotC tAAC Va AA6AAdl AOh4
Is collecting more prestige, of
which apparently not even he can
have too much.
This is all very fine, especially
kiss Me. Kate"
To classify this musical comedy
rightly among the seasons most
spectacular hits is to tag it as
the blithest show in town. Other
productions may excel it In other
qualities. but none can approach
It In this one. Shakespeare has
never been more merrily modern
lied, and of all the shrews that
ever have been tanned In his lus-
trous name, none has been lovelier
than Patricia Morrison. Moreover,
as shrew tanners go. this century
will be on reasonably sure ground
In recalling Alfred Drake with the
greatest fondness.
This does not overlook the fact
that the Lunts once made a su-
perior circusy revel out Of 1.-The
Tanning Of the Shrew." Theirs,
however, did not have Cole Porter
music: in truth, had no music
at all. It's more fun with music.
So many collaborators on Kiss
Me. Kate" have rightly been cred
tied with its enormous popularity

"Jigsaw." the new melodrama
at our new refuge Of the melo-
drama, the National. Is q routine
affair that is lifted above the
humdrum by some bright dialogue
and a funny running gag. II also
has been given q moderately good
pace by Director Fletcher Markle
and Franchot Tone. Marc Law
renee. Betty Harper and Jean
Wallace are quite up to any dra-
matte demands Of the script.
"Jigsaw" is the one about the
bright young boy in the district
attorneys Office. A newspaper
man chum gets him mildly inter-
ested In the determination Of a
Fascist-style hate gang called the
Crusaders. which seems TO be a
sort of cafe society Ku Klux Khan.
The newspaperman's extermina-
ton gets him seriously interested
In this project and in no time at
all he finds himself cast as a spe-
cial prosecutor. being served red
herrings at cocktail parties.
You hardly need to be told that
a special prosecutor played by Mr..
Tone Is a fair and easy match
for any assortment Of thugs no
matter what form their thuggery
takes. He knocks of most Of this
in the end by turning
q swank museum dedicated to
the display Of non-objective art
into a shooting gallery. The
memory of some nonobjective art
may make this seem more like q
sensible idea than a melodramatic
one. but II you admire cinematic
"JigSaw" has its share.
1t is the district attorney. him
self. who supplies fair sample Of
the dialogue when he strides at
the climax of the film into this
cadaver-strewn art gallery and
surveys the dead and wounded.
This place looks like the last act
