The Bright Shawl" with
Richard Barthelmess and his
first sound picture was The
Hole in the Wall" with Claud-

He returned to the stage in
1851 after an absence of more
than 20 years to tour in Dark

which prompted the author,
Sidney Kingsley. to make Rob-

the screen role.
His versatility in real life

Brilliant Cost in
Wouk's Vivid Work
By Joy Cormody

Producer Paul Gregory's
thesis that novelists can write
better drama than play
wrights is wildly sustained in
"The Caine Mutiny Court
Martial"
The long climactic excerpt
from Herman Wouk's novel
read" by an all-star cast
headed by Henry Fonda is the
seasons most gripping theater.
It is drama in depth, COM
posed of every element that
makes for excitement, sus-
pense and contagious gayety.
The latter is the surprise divi-
dend of the production which
will be repeated twice today at
Constitution Hall. a hilarious
relief to the grimness of the
narrative snatched raw from
World War II.
Fonda SuperbIy Cost
Beyond Fonda in the role of
the clever, compassionate.
duty-ridden defense attorney.
Gregory's production has been
cast with equivalently sound
taste. It is inconceivable that
any one could outplay Lloyd
Nolan in the role of guileful
Capt. Queeg or John Kodiak as
the accused 1t. Maryk.
Acted by these, Wouk' S
court-martial is incomparably
a more forceful piece of writ
ing than in the original. To
Novelist Wouk's everlasting
credit. however, his writing
lifts effortlessly from its first
form to the new one. in some
ways better than either Don
Juan in He'll" or John
Browns Body"
1t truly might have been
written for the stage on which
it plays with such forceful
realism.
"The Caine Mutiny Court
Martial" is not so structurally
perfect. however. as to be
beyond a quibble. It is fitted
here with an epilogic scene
which might have been more
simply disposed of in the stark
body of the work instead of
attempting so literally to fol-
low Wouk. This, however. is
an entirely captious objection
to production that meets
every vital requirement.
It Proves Behavior
The amazing vitality of
Wouk's work lies in its prob
ing of the behaviour Of hui
mans in a situation Of crisis.
In the long history of courts

an egotist whose world is no
larger than himself.
Lowyer More Complex


OF the two, it is the lawyer
who is the more dramatically
complex character. This is a
sensitive. intelligent, and re-
sourceful man, but Wouk
scorns to idealize him. Green
valid can also be petulant.
stubborn and at least super
ficially pitiless.
If he is to gain acquittal for
Maryk, he must condemn
Queeg. This is a duty as dis
tasteful as it is inescapable.
for Greenwald is blessed, or
cursed. with the perception to
clearly ssuilty or innocent.
The lawyer in THE Caine Mu-
tiny Court-Martial" is a char
acter of many and subtle
shadings. all of them realized

equally challenging figure. This

LONDON Up - Sir Winston
Churchill turned 80 today and mil
lions of Britons and admirers over
seas celebrated the birthday an
niversary as a personal affair.
Not since the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II had emotion
surged so strong through the ma
ton.
The day began with business of
state. It was opening day for the
new Parliament. Queen Elizabeth
II was scheduled to read from
the throne her traditional address
to the government outlining the
legislative program.
After that a special ceremony
for Churchill was scheduled at the
Hall of Westminster with presenta-
ton of two gifts from Parliament
commemorative album and
portrait of the Prime Minister.
A family party at the Prime
Minister'S official residence, 10
Downing Street, was the last event
on the days schedule.
Two 9O-pound birthday cakes
were backbone for the Parlia-
ment party and the other for the
family gathering.
With one exception-the Commu-
mist Daily Worker-Britain's ma
tional newspaper hailed the day as
big event in British history.
"Today Our Toast Is You, Sir!"
was the eight-columq banner atop
the Conservative Daily Mails
front page.
But the worker published a
crudely drawn birthday card"
"Resign! Along with your Tory
government
"Let electors prove by their vote
they are against Germany being
rearmedi"
Otherwise political differences
were adjourned for Winnie's day.
His supporters and those who had
voted against him in many elec-
tons joined in the national tribute
to the man who spoke and stood so
courageously in Britain's darkest
hours.
The pubs rang with ''happy birth
day." A special three-room office

Dulles Seeks
Measures To
Counter Reds
BY JOHN M. HIGHToWER

WASHINGTON R-The Eisen-
hover administration today sought
measures short of ''war action'' to
counter provocative acts by the
Chinese Communists.
The policy line was laid down by
Secretary of State Dulles in a
speech at Chicago last night. Dull
les barred for the present any ma
val and air blockade of Red China.
At the same time he called for
vigilance in dealings with Russia.
He said "coexistence"- e"-Moscow's
currently proclaimed foreign pol
icy line--is ''tricky word" in
the absence of any remuneration of
international communism "effort
to, rule the world by methods of
force, intimidation and fraud"
Dulles gave a far-ranging re-
port on US. foreign policy before
a national All Club congress in
Chicago last night. Before return
ing to the capital shortly after
ward, he repeated it for a nation
wide IV-radio hookup.
He did not specify what the State
Department planned to do about
13 Americans sentenced to prison
in Red China ON spy charges this
country has branded as false. In
formants indicated the United
States might ask Russia to inter-
vene with Red China, but it was
expected main action would be
concentrated on mobilizing world
opinion against the sentencing.
Dulles apparently was referring
to the Is in his speech, and to Red
China's threats against Formosa,
when he said that while the Rus
SLAMS have recently ''talked more
softly. the Chinese Communists
have talked and acted with in
creasing violence"
