Canova's boat also entered the

II she were merely q bad girl
Blanche would not be a sad one
and it would be well to think OF
this if you should discuss her with
Miss Evelyn.
+44
Miss Evelyn who became the
sensation among new actresses
several seasons ago as the har-
rassed heroine Of Angel Street, u
later called "Gaslight" in the
films. is strictly professional in
comparing the two roles.
She is not quite sure that the
Angel Street" part was not the
more difficult to play.
1T required one sustained mood
the constant projection of almost
animal fear" she says. Blanche
is much more varied moving be-
tween her grand delusions and her
dark aWareness of the brutal
realities of her life"
Incidentlly both girls are acute
sufferers in brutal worlds and this
sometimes disturbs Miss Evelyn
even though her notices are the
glowing kind.
What she is afraid of is that she
will make such a reputation for
tragedy that people won't think
of her when the part is not tragic.
1t is a common fear among gifted
players and she knows that it does
not always victimize those who
have it.
This is Miss Evelyn's first trip
to Washington professionally, and
she is happy that it is April and
full Of April's vagrant promise
There is lot of sightseeing that
she intends to do, the Folger
theater and library, the museums
and the art galleries. She would
like to see Monticello, but the 234-
mile round trip makes her dubious
that she will.
The Canadian-born, American
educated actress has seen virtually
all of America in the last year.
She has toured the country from
coast to coast, along the north and
south borders and down the mid
die.
She thinks touring is good for
the nations theatergoers, the
drama and the actress who does
it.
And, between shows and sight
seeing. it is a nice profession for
the girl who wants to use her mind.
She devotes hers to studying Ian
guages, reading history, biography
and, naturally plays.
AS you would expect of an
actress who has gone so far in
so little time, she is serious. But
not deadly serious.

play1Qg bldQCne OubOlS III n
Streetcar Named Desire" Miss
Evelyn simply is intelligent. Try
ing to avoid saying it would be
quite unlntelligent. This is hardly
the right state Of mind in which
to write about her.
Miss Evelyn, who gives a cork
ing performance In the most
beautiful play Tennessee Williams
ever wrote, gives another one Of
lesser Importance in disagreeing
with . critics judgment Of the
play.
The critic. this one to be spe-
cific. was enthusiastic on the
whole about the Gayety's opening
night. He thought he noticed a
certain tiredness in a few areas Of
the performance.
II don't think 1t was that" Miss
Evelyn disagrees pleasantly. ut
might have looked that way out
front, of course. but on stage it
was something else. AS you know,
there are IL scenes in the play.
All require quick changes which
have to go off like lightning be-
tween scenes. We did not have
time to rehearse these before the
opening performance, which would
not have been bad if the stage
had not been a bit smaller than
the one we just played.
"One rehearsal would have
made everything smooth instead
of throwing everyone's timing just
a little bit out. Not much out but
enough to be noticeable if you
have a sharp eye and ear for such
things. One performance or one
rehearsal is enough to get every
thing back in line. But we are not
tired. and I think discipline is
good"
She is a pleasant girl to whom
one might give a last word.
Playing Blanche Dubois, the
most tragic heroine in contem-
porary theater and about the most
savagely punished one spiritually,
Is paradoxically a nice job. Miss
Evelyn thinks. The two and one
half hours of vicious pummeling
she takes as the gentle, neurotic
girl at eight performances a week
is not as hard as some small
seeming things that happen off
stage.
One of these is hearing people
say. "Oh, so you play the bad
grill"
Miss Evelyn tries not to resent
this, but she has not quite made it..
Blanche isn't a bad girl" she
wants it understood. "She is a
good, sensitive, fundamentally in
nocent young female victimized
by cruelty malevolent fate" she
says. ITO think of her otherwise
is to miss Tennessee Williams
