8 dPoIOscIlCalIy CuaC ne proved SO
tnept in the art of playwriting.
Last night in Washington at
Arena Stage, it became Conrad
Aiken'S turn, to leave at least one
Aiken admirer convinced that the
author should stick to his old
lasts, the novel, poetry and the
higher criticism.
4 Il u Il
The occasion was the first Amer
lean production of ''Mr. ArculariS, {"
a dramatic rendering of a popular
Aiken short story. It attracted
one Of Arenas most fashionable
audiences, as a premiere of such
prestige should, but it left the
impression that "Mr. ArculariS"
will revert quickly to its old place
as a memorable, brief and eerie
fiction.
AS a play, it is thin, obscure and
no more than a pattern of fire.
quently lovely. sometimes lofty
words Signifying very little while
aspiring to signify lot.
The report goes that it has been
tempting drama cultists for years
and this is no doubt true. Never
theless, "Mr. Arcularis" in its
present form creates no sugges-
ton that such poetic dramatists
as Christopher Fry and T. S.
Eliot, the new heroes of the play
loving people. have serious COM
petitor in Mr.. Aiken.
Arena players under the direc-
ton Of Edward Mangum give it a
brave and elaborate try to no
more avail than to earn credit for
q noble experiment. The credit
for noble experiments, like all
other forms of credit, is becoming
steadily more restricted.

ris." His oddly named hero is a
symbolic man, a Sleep-walker who
presumably is all of us. He is not
by any means a conventional
night wanderer. He is much more
complex.
BY adding up the figures which
dart through the dancing dia-
Ilogue of MIR. Arcularis." the piv-
otal character in the play is a
bachelor of 40 who has been SUI
fering from a broken heart for
40 years. This malady. denoted
by what appears to be a steth-
oscopic recording of the human
heartbeat, began when Mr.. Ar
cularis was nine years old.
It was a bright summer NOM
ing that it all began with a walk
on the beach during which he dis
covered the wreckage of the fam
lily yacht and saw the apparently
nude bodies of his beautiful
mother and his reckless Uncle
David floating inside the cabin.
Life inside him died that morn
ing for mfr. Arcularis" although
he apparently lived on to battle
a multitude of less vulnerable hu-
mans for many years thereafter.
In the two acts of the play at
Arena stage, this group includes
a bevy of high-class surgeons. a
ship load of fashionable summer
travellers, and at least one men,
Der of the opening nights audi
ence.
The play begins with an opera
ton in which the chief surgeon
explains he will lay open Mr.
Arcularis' heart and hold it in
his hand. 1t ends with an epilogue
scene showing the conclusion of
the surgery. The intervening
scenes presumably should have
made the heart exposure COM
pletely clear. but there are too
many treacherouS, intricacies in
volved.
Any operation on the human
imagination, of course, is likely to
end fatally and the difference
between the playwright and the
surgeon probably is that the latter
knows this too well to try.
Director Mangum has been
forced into Arenas most intri-
cate production in the staging
Iof 'rMr. ArculariS. He has set
Iup an extremely busy stage in
making the transition from a sur
gical theater and operating room
to a ship like that in Outward
Bound" Oddly enough, it is a
buster stage in the intervals of
scene shifts than when the players
take over.
At such times as the latter, the
action is contrived to At the poetic
language Of the play as best it
will and the fit is rarely perfect.
1t seldom conceals the fact that
"Mr. Arcularis" is writing that
is determined to remain writing
and that if actors insist upon
tampering with it. they will look
like characters merely reading
aloud.
+
A large cast, most of them in
double roles conforming to the
conscious and unconscious states
| of MIR. Arcularis," is used in the
production. Its outstanding men,
bers are Lester Rawlings in the
title role, Mary Pray Conlin as
the sympathetic woman in the
hero's life, Jacqueline Dudley as
the introverted female, and Laura
Worth as the lovely ghost of
Mr.. Arcularis' wicked beautiful
mother.

Carlos Carson, enforcement agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service, recently made patrol of the Kenai Peninsula by air, car and foot, to check on trap pers and game conditions. He re- ports that not many beaver are being caught this year and at- tributes the fact partly to the cold weather and thick ice that have been encountered on the Kenai Peninsula this year.
 He also found that the snow and ice are melting fast these days, especially on the west side of the Peninsula.
