The Passing Show
The Passing Show
Ella Kozon Goes for No Neurosis
He Had 1t Once but Now He's Happy With His Work,
His Wife, His Children and Even Making Movies r..

People keep asking: What
kind of person is Ella Kazan?
One wants to reply. that
he is the kind who can direct
plays as brilliant as "a Street.
car Nam ed Desire" and
Death of A Salesman" and as
warm and discerning as Tea
and Sympathy" And, as to
movies, "Streetcar," THE Man
on A Tightrope" and several
others of unfailing force and
artistry.
This is not what the ques-
toner wants to know Of
course. He is curious about
the personal Kazan because
he is so impressed by the pro-
fessional one.
So, on the basis of rather an
old friendship, going back to
the late 30s, this correspond
ent passed the question along
to Mr.. Kazan the other day at
luncheon.
Well, He Would See
Mr.. Kazan had not thought
much about what kind of per-
son he is. He has a lot of
other things on his mind.
Nevertheless, he was not at a
total loss for an explanation
Of himself. He gave himself a
few seconds to frame a thought
about Ella Kazan and said, pos
sibly not for publication:
"Well, I'm a guy in love with
his work, the woman he mar
ried. his four children, and
with the idea of being a non
neurotic. I'm very much OPP
posed to being a neurotic, the
more so because I once was
one, I guess"
In a few words, that is
rather a lot about. a man.
Naturally, there is a lot more
to be picked up in bits and
pieces of association and con-
versation through the years.
For one thing, Mr.. Kazan is
generally regarded by most
people as the most artistic hu-
man associated with the drama
in this country today. 1t is a
view that f1atters him, but he
is much too busy and modest
to show it.
He reliSheS success, being
human enough to put so much
of humanity into every thing
he does, but he does not take
credit for it.

luncheon companion, "in Civ

Actually. he is the only one
in his troupe who is not pure
Spanish. He is a native of
Italy, of Italian and Spanish
parents, and grew up roofing
for the Dodgers.
He made a movie at MGM
last year called "Sombrero,"
playing a bullfghter.
Greco found the same Ian
guage trouble when he re-
ported for work for the movie.
The producer carried on a
conversation with an aide
while Greco was ushered in
for an interview. It went like
this:
Hes taller than I thought.
I think he'll do okay if we
can teach him the language"
Greco interrupted: whats
the matter with my language?"
Good heavens" answered
the producer. "He speaks
English!"

Mr.. Viewers Utopion Plan Works
Success of To-day Proves Thot Advertisers Can Be
Separated PonIessIy From Program Control

some widely-read features
woud never be printed because
Of lack of advertising support.
A publisher uses his revenue to
produce a paper aimed at wide
interests. He does not ignore
the philatelists and throw out
the stamp column in favor Of
an additional column of A.
nancial news which might at
tract more advertising.
Minds Moy Change
If the broadcasters ever
adopt this economic philosophy
they, too, might reach out
toward a variety of interests.
They might come up with
something for 130 million peo-
pie who do not watch the high
rated programs now on the air.
They might even discover that
some advertisers would pay to
address these new viewers.
Not all broadcasters have
been deaf to the entreaties OF
those who support this theory,
but most Of them have insisted
that it wouldn't work. Some
minds may now be changed
by the revelation of the
healthy financial status Of
NBC-TV's To-day"
When the morning show
starring Dave Garroway went
on the air on January IA.
1852, it was an innovation in
more ways than one. 1t was
a foolhardy attempt to get
people to watch television in
the morning, in the view Of
many. 1t also served to intro
duce for Sylvester L. Weaver,
vice chairman of the board Of
NBC, his new magazine con-
cept."
Under this plan advertisers
would not sponsor the show.

sertions or a series of them in

theatrical not literary, and
easy to work with. He reminds
me in lots of ways Of the late
Sidney Howard whose place
he has just taken in the Play
wrights' Company"
Mr.. Kazan likes "firsts" in
the theater, as who does not?
His hopes for "Tea and
Sympathy" which is one of
his most brilliant directional
chores, are higher for others
associated with the play than
for himself.
1T will be Bob's first" he
says, land Deborah Kerr's and
I hope and believe it will be
big for both of them. They are
wonderful people and wonder
fully gifted, and when I re-
member how it was with
Arthur Miller whose first

could be more exciting, I sup
pose."
RecolIs FIops, Too
1t was not like this the last
time Mr.. Kazan was here, with
"Dunigan's Daughter" by S. N.
Behrman. Mr.. Kazan doesn't
mind being reminded of that.
Wasn't it awful" he re-
calls. II worked on that all
summer and everything I did
made it worse. BY the time I
finished, it was a hopeless
mess"
incidentally. Mr.. Kazan,
who has inspired critics to
throw their hats higher and
more often into the air than
anyone around, does not mind
it when the opposite happens.
He got his last set of melan-
choly notices last season for

This Project Is Tough
The theater, which is his
first and deepest love because
it lets him be free-he thinks
it is the freest institution left
is not the exclusive interest
of Mr.. KaZan. AS soon as he
gets Tea and Sympathy"

turn to two film projects.

On the Air

When television was a
mere babe some Of us ex-
pressed the hope that it would
not inherit one Of radios
major ills-that tight sponsor
control of program content on
so many shows. Despite all the
dire warnings, television went
right ahead and inherited it.
The comedy Question in the
trade right now concerns the
"Dragnet" theme, recorded by
Ray Anthony. The disc is one
of the most-played on the air,
but will it make Lucky Strikes
Hit Parade" with it's remin-
der of the competition?
It has as much chance as
Lucy has of getting a lucky
break. Or as Ricky has of
winter shelter from the ele-
ments. in a Chesterfield. For
Philip Morris you don't say
those nasty words.
Well, the news today is that
television itself may be vim
dicating those of us who
sounded the warning. The
cash intake may be proving
a point that logic never could
prove.
Sponsors Like Success
Logic says that broadcast
ers would better be able to
serve their audience by pat
terning their operation after
that of newspapers, where
news and advertising are com.
pletely separate. The drab-
ness which overlook radio
programming several years
back grew from the networks

Stone took his footage and
made it into a movie called

about 100000 to make and
