from solemn play. It Is an en-
crossing one most Of the time,
with q thread Of leavening hu-
NOR running through it all.
Anderson also uses completely
comic scenes at times to move
his play along.
Some Of these are out-and-out
fun-the wife of one Of the in
Structors relishing the thought
of what all those boys from 13
/ to 19 years old are thinking
about all Of the time; the &C
cused boy and his roommate
plotting changes in the lads
manner to make him less Sus-
pect.
There are some sharply satiri-
cal passages, too. There is,
for instance, something bitterly
comic in the joy of the victims S
father in the thought that his
son is to be expelled from school
for manly misconduct rather
than for that other thing.

Mr.. Kazan has inspired expert
playing by his cast as they move
through the several levels Of 10
MielZiner's handsomely ingen-
ious setting. Miss Kerr, as was
limited back there, is no less than
superb in her portrayal of a
young woman Of maturity and
understanding fighting a series
of losing battles against unwill-
ingnesS to understand. (She
loses the battles, maybe. but she
wins the war.)
In her supporting cast, John
Kerr. as the sensitive young man
whose life almost comes crash
ing down because of a horrible
untruth, has quite a taxing job,
as you can imagine. He brings
it off excellently. It is no easy
task that has been handed to
Left Erickson, either, as the
headmaSter who reacts so vio-
lently and blindly to this horror
within his dormitory. But Mr..
Erickson comes through ably,
managing to hint at both the
mans worship of virility and,
without underlining it unduly,
his fear of something else in
his nature.
Florida Friebus makes quite
happy thing of her fairly brief
appearances as the woman de-
lighted with her opportunity for
all those harmless f1irtations.
Richard York as the taunted
boys roommate, John McGovern
as his father, and Richard Midg-
ley as the instructor who causes
all the trouble are also effective
in their contributions.
"Tea and Sympathy" is a lively
and interesting piece of theater
and even if it lags in spots, the
sight of the titan -tressed Deb
orah Kerr in that green dress
is easily worth the price of ad-
mission.

he delves into the cruel anguish
which can overcome a sensitive
prep school student when he is
falsely suspected of homosexu-
ality.
This is not a universal prob
lem, to be sure, but in a larger
sense Mr.. Anderson is talking
here about all prejudiceS and the
effects of suspicion on small.

great deal of it is effective.

The title of the Nationals
play stems from the advice of the
deans wife to the new mate of
q headmaster that she confine
her interest in her husbands
charges to the Sunday afternoon
dispensation of tea and SYM
pathy. Miss Kerr's Laura Rey-
noldS can't do this, however,
when this terrible and unjust
charge is made against young
Tom Lee simply because he went
swimming in the nude one after
noon with one of his instructors.
There is no basis for the sus-
picions, but the boys life is al
most wrecked. His SchoolmateS
accepts suspicion as fact and are
unmerciful. His master, Bill Rey-
noldS, is violent in his hatred Of
this hint of sexual abnormality
because, as any amateur psychol--
ogist in the audience will know
Immediately, it is the thing he
fears within himself. Even Tom
Lees father. an inept parent, is
suspicious of his boy because no
one has been able to make a man
Of him.
All of this naturally brings
great deal of distress into the
Reynolds dormitory living room
and the corner bedroom occu-
. pied by the tormented boy. Be-
fore it is done with the young
man has fled to a town trollop
in an attempt to prove his nor
mality. has failed in disgust and

Reynolds, a failure in her fight
against blind prejudice, at least
learns where she and her hus-
o. band stand, which is not to-
gether, and in the end saves
the boy the only way he can be
saved.

All of this sounds fairly for
bidding when set down this way,
but for the most part Play
wright Anderson and Director
Ella Kazan have handled it
deftly. The theme is treated
frankly, but the tasteful way,
as a serious problem and not as
something to provoke a leer.

Gently been released by the Sc

The foreword by director Gen.

In a comprehensive approach
to the problems, the report dis
cusses the scope of the Selective

then branches into a brief de-
scription and definition OF the
racial groups in the United States.
The report traces the Torment
