considerably greater size.

wonders of the universe to match Antipaters
famous seven is in trouble. The universe is 90

NOT ALWAYS do bargains turn
out to be bargains. Especially when
they involve a travelling peddler.
Such is the case reported in re-
cent letter from a Montana Farmer
Stockman reader who asked that we
pass the story along to others.
This reader bought a case of or
anges and one of grapefruit from a
trucker passing through her farm
community. The fruit was good quail
ity--nice and fresh and juicy-and
the trucker made the $14.50-per-
case price tag sound equally good.
But like most family grocery buy
ers, our reader wasn't familiar with
case-lot prices. So it wasn't until
she figured the cost on per orange
and per grapefruit basis that she
knew the deal was no bargain. The
COSTS cents for each grapefruit,
10 cents for each orange-was near
ly twice what the same fruit would
have cost at her community grocery
store.

Wipe the wire with an oiled rag and

around a basically simple,
standard set of comedy char
acterS.
Dominant among these is an
elderly, mousey little woman
whose naivete disarms every
one at whom it is aimed. In
this instance, it is aimed at the
board of directors of a giant
corporation, General Products,
in which the wistful little
woman owns 10 shares of
stock.
The Tycoons Weaken
In moment of human weak
ness, when she starts asking
embarrassing questions about
their huge salaries, these ty-
coons give her a toehold in the
corporations affairs. Soon
the f1uttery creature has vir-
tuafly taken over the manage
ment of the place. This is a
sight that always has been
funny and it still is.
To get rid of her, the new
General Products board sends
her to Washington where it's
former chairman-president is
now head Of the Department
OF Defense. In the build-up
Of the meeting between these
two characters, the titan and

Solid Gold Cadillac" indicates
that this will be the real
comedy explosion.
It turns out to be nothing of
the kind, as if the authors.
astounded at their daring in
getting to the Secretary's door,
completely lost their nerve.
Their irony meltS in the heat
of their embarrassment. In
stead Of carrying on with the
suggestion of the characters,
possibilities they retreat into
treating him as an 18-karat
Prince Charming.
No Time for Timidity
In real life, this might well
be the case but in a comedy
that has so long intimated
otherwise, it is a sheer shock.
Neither the farce nor the audi
ence is likely to recover from
it until Mr.. kaufman decides
to do some ruthless rewriting
on 'The Solid Gold Cadillac"
For all the enthusiastic ap-
petite they have shown for
caricaturing Washington life,
this is not the first time that
dramatists have been over
whelmed by shyness when they
realize what they are up to.
They get caught up in the
inseparability of the Office and
the man and whatever the
comic aspects of the latter, the
former is historically respect
able.
This puts quite a burden Of
restraint upon a writer whose
only purpose is to suggest to
outsiders that political per-
formance here can be as funny
as Washingtonians long ago
learned it is.
And as it is revealed to be
year after year in such sati-
rical shows as that of the
Gridiron Club whose members
write without the faintest
touch of timidity.

The Passing Show
Satire Can't Feel Shy
But Thot Is What 1t Suddenly Becomes
In Comedy, The Solid Gold Cadillac
By Joy Cormody

ANY one who has ever seen
a politician off duty at, say,
Washington cocktail party.
must have recognized the
types possibilities as a COM
edy character.
Sometimes Willingly, but
often not, this choice of the
people has resembled an actor
so closely that he might be
hired entertainer brought
thither to make District resi-
dents happy that they do not
have to vote.
Down the years, this per-
former has SO frequently en-
phasized the ridiculous aspects
of his nature that playwrightS
are constantly tempted to
satirize him. They are mo-
tivated in this not merely by
the innate buffoonery of the
political specimen but because
they know Americans come
with a built-in delight in see
ing the political clown ex-
posed.
This encourages the notion
that q man cannot miss when
he writes a political comedy
or farce. That is one of the
dramas grand delusions.
They Keep Missing
The fact is that playwrights
do keep missing in this area.
Not the monkey novices Of the
drama but the old pros of the
trade. Like. say, George S.
Kaufman who collaborated
with Howard F.. Teichmann on
"The Sold Gold Cadillac" now
at the National.
Mr.. Kaufman is no crazy.
mixed up kid, but it would be
hard to determine this truth
on the evidence of his comedy
starring that established sor-
ceress, Josephine Hull. "The
Solid Gold Cadillac" is as
mixed up as if it had been
assembled from that auto
graveyard which is one of the
scenic surprises of the New
Jersey Turnpike.
It starts off, bravely and
promisingly as a satire on big
politics and big business
currently fashionable combi-
nation-and SINNERS down to
either a wistful fairy tale or
something totally indefinable.
Frankly, this old kaufman
voter has not the faintest no.

1t Storts MerriIy
In its first phase, the pro-
duction sponsored by Max Cor
don, is quite funny. Monday
nights opening audience, COM
posed apparently of secure Re-
publicans and Democrats who
at least have managed to sur
vive, found it laughable in
deed. But if it's laughter did
not turn to tears in the second
act, it nevertheless became be-
wilderment. The playwrights
here were clearly up to some
thing quite different from the
idea and the mood with which
they started. It was like rain
at the end of the third inning
with the home team leading
19 to 0. Everything was sud-
denly wiped out, most OF all
the hilarity.

NEW YORK.
The new theatrical season
now is well underway on
Broadway, but early samples
are not too promising.
An exception is "Tea and
Sympathy" the sensitive and
literate play by Robert Ander-
son starring British star Deb
orah Kerr, in her first Broad
way role.
The fastest in-and-out show
in the new season was the
British murder drama, "A Pin
to See the Peep Show" It
opened on q Thursday night
and never raised another cur
tain. This one-performance
run had Joan Miller playing a
lady who is led off to the gal
lows. Although Miss Miller
was tossed bouquets by critics,
the play itself never came to
life.
Miss Russell Gone
"Anna Russell and Her Little
Show" a triumph on the con-
cert stage, shut down after Is
Broadway performances.
In the successful "Tea and
Sympathy" Playwright Ander-
son discusses the delicate sub
ject of suspected homosexual-
ity, not a new theme in
Broadway plays. But Ander-
son has written his story with
such an adult approach the
homoseXual angle is over
shadowed by the young stu
dent who falls in love with the
wife of his schoolmaster.
This is a play of sympa-
thetic understanding. Ander-
son and performers Deborah
Kerr and John Kerr (no rela-
tion) weld it into a play more
over of beauty and distinction.
In his poignant drama,
"Take a Giant STEP" Louis
Peterson tells the story of a
Negro boy faced with racial
problems in his home town in
Connecticut where there are
not supposed to be any racial
problems. He discovers the
problems may lie within him
self, rather than with the
people with whom he is asSo-

to enter the interior, since
foreigners were only permitted
in the treaty ports. The coun-
try was lovely and unspoiled,

"I don't want to go back. It
is all changed now"
Holmes looks like one of the
stalWarts who built and de-
Tended the British Empire. A
handsome man with the IA
miliar Van Dyke beard, he
talks more in the cultured
tones of Britain than his ma
tive Chicago. His dress is fault

getting Herbert Hoover.
Fondly he showed me his

10th century travel lecturer
whose "Stoddard's Lectures"
appear in many an American
family library.
1T heard Stoddard talk
when I was very young" mused
Holmes. "He delivered the
old bombastic style of elocu-
ton, but I thought he was
wonderful"
His Secret Simple
Holmes was even more sue
cessful. He was decorated by
the governments of Italy,
Spain, Austria and Ethiopia.
The secret of his success?
ST think it was because I
had enthusiasm for my work.
I was doing the thing I wanted
most to do, and I loved it. I
tried to transfer my enthusi-
asm to the audience"
Holmes said he was glad to
see so many Americans going
abroad now, but he deplored
the way many of them travel.
People come back and brag
about how much ground they
have covered" he observed.
"'Oh, that was a nice place.
they say. We stopped and had
a drink there
"That's no way to travel.
To get the most out of coun-
try, you have to stay there for
some time, taking your ease
and getting to know the peo-
pie. Then you can SAVIOR a
country and enjoy it. That's
the way I did"

ITO stay here until they come
and take me on my last trip,
to wherever that may be-"
Holmes, a gentleman of the
old school, is nearing 81. For
60 years he has been bringing
foreign lands to American
audiences via platform and
movie travelogues. He still
takes an active part in pre-
pairing programs and mapping
tours. But:
IT have no desire to travel

would happen to me. For

He has a nice spot to stay
put in, the onetime estate of
silent film idol Francis x.
Bushman, so high in the Holly

it Topside. Surrounded by
towering palms, with a stun
ming view of the sweep of the

his decades of travel.

He has two aides, Thayer
Soule and Robert Mallet, who,
he says, "can do the job as well

is satisfied doing the planning.
I asked how he happened to d
get into the travel talk

to assume that a large portion

ciated. Louis Gossett plays
the role of the confused boy
with extraordinary under
standing and skill.
Solo shows are more popu-
lar this season as stage stars
are finding it difficult to dis
cover playwrights who can
produce good scripts for their
talents. Ethel Waters, Victor
Borge and Beatrice Lille are a
few of the stars who have met
with great success in this type
of show. Expenses for such
productions usually include
only a piano and player. Borge
even eliminates the piano
player as he is quite a key
board virtuoso in his own
right.
Other Failures
Among other failures on
Broadway this season, was
Fritz Hochwalder's religious
drama, 1.-THE Strong Are
Lonely" The story of a Jesuit
colony in 18th-century Para
quay, it had been a tremendous
hit in many countries in Eu-
rope, but it lasted for just
seven performances on Broad

generally favorable reviews
from the critics.
