Why a chap of his type should
go in for the great treasonable
act of this time is instantly
puzzling. No man could look

The impression created by his

the closely guarded vaults OF
the Atomic Energy Commission

into this CHASTITY business? What
is he getting out of it? Will a
man who looks so like every

to elude the traps which have
caught so many more diaboli-

You may do whatever you like

they're not going to pry this

The Passing Show

1t Is only natural that the
most talked of movie of the year
should, be the one that dispenses
altogether with talk.
The only conceivably more
startling phenomenon would be
to have politicians suddenly be-
come silent in the midst of a
campaign the like of this one.
This effect of THE Thief" ad-
mittedly was anticipated by
Clarence Greene and Russell
Rouse. The former, producer
and co-writer with Rouse of the
film script, admitted as much
to this reporter one night last
summer at the Statler. What
Greene did not know, and was
candid enough to say, was
whether the talk when it came
would be favorable or unfavor-
able.
He knows now. And no man
could sound happier than he did
over the long distance telephone
the other night.
Greene Had Answer
In the original discussion of
1.-THE Thief's" speechlessness,
this reporter asked Greene why
he and his co-author chose to
defy one of the dramas basic
conventions. Was it, he in
sisted. anything more than a
stunt?
II think it is" Greene said,
mo matter what you or any one
else may think later. It is that
kind of story. It is about an
atom spy, a type that works in
the utmost secrecy and, I feel,
what must be the most terrify-
ing loneliness that modern man
can experience. 1t seems to me
that everything about the man
and his work is made more
exciting by the total absence Of
human speech. With the camera
as his eyes, the spectator will
watch every move Milland
makes. I think his absorption
in what is going on will be
deepened if it comes through a
single sense-sight."
This, it turns out on seeing
the picture, was extraordinarily
clever of the makers of THE
Thief" They could not have
hit upon a more effective trick
for exploding their film out of
the rut of spy melodrama.
They're imaginative
1t is not, however, the only
one. Greene and Rouse are too
Imaginative and resourceful for
that

quality in their selection of Mil

That Sea CHANGE in Plays

this sea change with "The
Browning Version" What in
England had been a study Of
characters became over here a
picture of. English public school
life and the focus thereby got
a little distorted.
Perhaps 20 Mistress Mine"

were it not for the fact that
when the Lunts~ are on the stage
no audience in he world can be
distracted by background Cnor
even as was once proved in Lon
don by W. bombing.
The Winslow Boy" did not,
I think, suffer because the back
ground - London, 1912 - was
about as unfamiliar for an Eng
lish as for an American audi
ence and I had always had to
make due allowances for this
in the designing of the play.
But what of "The Deep Blue
Sea-? Well, we shall see. But I
think-touching wood-that on
this occasion the background
will not prove to be too unfa-
miliar or too arresting for an
American audience. 1t is a shah

ly sure that it will take no great
effort of imagination on the
part of any Washingtonian to
imagine the same happenings
taking place on the outskirts of

. I once heard an English pro-
ducer moaning heartbrokenly
that the play he had imported to
London from BroadWay-a
smash hit there-had, in transit,
suffered from what he called a
mysterious sea change" Hav-
ing seen the play myself both in
it's native habitat and in the
West End, I could only agree.
In London it was as well-acted,
directed and produced as it
had been in New York. The
story and theme were of COM
mon appeal. And the dialogue
had been carefully pruned of it's
local vernacular. There really
seemed no reason why it
shouldn't have repeated exactly
it's immense New York success.
But it didn't.
What had seemed a good play
in New York seemed a bad one
in London. AS simple as that.
The play had suffered a sea
change.
Now, during my career I have
had plenty of opportunity to
study this mysterious phenome-
non (at sometimes rather uncom-
fortably close quarters) and have
reached a conclusion about it
which may or may not be cor
rect but which does at least
bring the problem down from
the realm of airy metaphysics to
solid earth. I believe that it is
mainly a question of distortion
of focus.
Treochery Evident
A background designed mere
ly to show off a certain char
acter or group Of characters
in greater relief is apt, at a dis
tance of 5000 miles, to become
the foreground and to obscure
the whole picture.
For instance, suppose that
the plot of "Hedda Gabler" had
been stolen by two authors. one
English and the other American
mot, I sadly imagine, a very
far-fetched idea). The English
man would probably cite some
such place as Cheltenham Spa
as the provincial background for
his frustrated heroine. The
American Il speak without
knowledge-possibly some such
place as Toledo, Ohio Il trust I
tread on no corns).
Now for an English audience
the Cheltenham background
need be no more than sketched
in to be completely accepted by
them. The audiences attention
need never be diverted from
foreground to background ex-
cept when the author momen-
tarily enlarges his focus to in
clude his heroine's surroundings
and conditions of life, when
there comes a necessity to fur
ther the authenticity of her sur
roundings.
The American audience, I sup
pose, would similarly react to
the Toledo background.
He Knows First-Hond
But switch the two plays be-
tween London and New York
and We might well find the
towering figure of Hedda dwin-
ding to less imposing propor-
tionS. while the two audiences
find themselves continually dis
tracted by the unfamiliar details
of life as lived in places as re-
mote from their imagination as
the central reaches of the
Amazon.
