The Passing Show

OF T. S. Eliot it is said that
he is one of the kindest OF
men. as we'll as one Of the
Shyest.
Drama critics, however,
sometimes have occasion to
doubt this. If Mr.. Eliot were
such a paragon, Of kindness.
he would not expose them to
such a murderous crossf1re
every time he writes a play.
These self-defined innocent
bystanders are willing to give
Mr.. Eliot two options. either
to write simpler, less perplex-
ing plays or to assume full re-
sponsibility for those he does
write. Or, out of some super
natural generosity, he might
accompany each playscript
with a precise explanation of
just what he is driving at.
Mr.. Wilder Went Awoy
Thornton Wilder, an even
worse offender If also a more
original playwright, solved
this dilemma for critics by
writing ION" a play for 10
years.
Mr.. Eliot waited q mere
four between 1.-THE Cocktail
Party" and "The Confidential
Clerk" his latest work now at
the National Theater. In that
interval, nothing changed.
Mr.. Eliot is just as contro-
versial as ever and the review
ers just as battered by those
who find their estimates of
the comedy too enthusiastic
or too unexcited.
There Is no pleasing any
one, even ones wife who
rhapsodized over 1.-THE Cock
tail Party" but now SCOTS at
her husbands admiration for
1.-The Confidential Clerk" She
has never been so anti.
1t is this very controversy,
however, that establishes Mr.,
Eliot as the most exciting con-
temporary playwright and
keeps his plays running so
long, In the case of THE Con-
f1dential Clerk" it began with
the plays opening in Edin-
burgh last August, has intensi-
fled ever since and will end,
perhaps, only with the appear
ance of Mr.. Eliot's next play.
BoffIineIy Brilliant
The truth about Mr.. Eliot
appears to be that he is as
battling as he is brilliant, as
vexing as he is amusing. The
"aboutness" of his plays, I'm
like those of even the best Of
his interiors. is impossible to
pin down.
On the basic level in "The
Confidential Clerk" he has
written play about illegiti-
macy, a startling theme for
any contemporary dramatist.
an amazing one for an Olym-
plan such as Mr.. Eliot. But it is
only on the surface that his
comedy is dealing with his
subject. It also is full of re-
ligious overtones. and con-
cerned with the questions of
human loneliness, family rela-
tons, and the plight of the in
dividual in a world as complex
and disordered as this one.
In an effort to compress all
this into a play, Mr.. Eliot has
had to be Indifferent to form.
No coincidence in the rela-
tionShipS Of his characters is
too exaggerated for his &C

from a new entry in the
UNESCO series of reports on
the facilities of mass commu-
nication. This one is titled
"Television, a World Survey"
which is precisely what 1t is.
The effect Of the cost factor
in the spread Of television Is
threaded all through the sur
vey. The difference between
television in the United States
and television elsewhere Is
simply the American dollar.
Denmark, for instance. is
getting gradually into TV with

pm. on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday. 1t started ex-

cording to the UNESCO re-
port, spent 275,982 kroner in

Advertising Spreads
There are indications that
the use of advertising to de-
fray the high cost of television
is becoming more and more
widespread. In seven coun-
tries outside the United States
Canada. Cuba. the Domin-
lean Republic. Mexico. Ar
gentina, Brazil and the Terri
tory of Hawaii. advertising
pays the bills. In some cases
it is supplemented by public
funds.
Advertising on TV is planned
in Venezuela, Japan. the Ger
man Federal Republic and the
United Kingdom. Only France.
the u. S. S. r. and the Soviet
dominated German Democra-
tic Republic are depending on
license fees and public funds.
England, where the contro-
versy is familiar. is not the
only place where advertising
on television is regarded with
some diStrust, however. In
Morocco, for example. a con-
cession has been granted for
operating TV stations in Casa
blanca and Rabat. The con-
cessionaire, says the UNESCO
report, lis permitted to carry
advertising broadcasts Of an
artistic character"
Advertising, artistic or not.
seems to have the same eff
feet on television wherever it
thrives. ITO justify the great
expense of television," says the
report, "the broadcaster tends
to demand that all programs
have maximum popular APP
peal"
A Set for Every Seven
Outside of the United
Kingdom, where television is
available to 80 per cent of the
population, the TV saturation
is greatest in countries where
it is supported by sponsors.
The United States, it may sur
prise you to learn. is fourth on
this list. In the Dominican Re-

NEW YORK

On the outside you wouldn't
know Wally Cox from Robin
son Peppers, science teacher at
Jefferson City High.
His suit, a discreet brown
and-white pin check. is pressed
and probably custom-tailored.
But it's worn with q mail-order
air.
His shirt has a home -laun-
dered tendency to curl at the
collar tips. His necktie. fuzzy
Scotch plaid. is the tartan OF
a subdued and obscure high
land clan.
His light brown hair has a
careful part and lies fiat across
his head. It's a youthful and
friendly looking head. the kid
that brings out the mother in
every female. Pleasant blue
eyes smile in shy fashion
through owlishly large. light
trimmed glasses. His voice is
rather high. with a suggestion
of a lisp, the careful enuncia-
ton of the pedant and the ten
tative precision of a man who
has read too much. thought
considerably and is unwilling
to bludgeon any one with an
opinion.
No Trouble Now
That's the way Wally Cox
looks and that's the way he
sounds. If it reminds you of
Mr.. Peppers, you can be par
doned.
Wally admits there was a
time even he had a little
trouble figuring out where one
left off and the other started.
But today. he claims. there's a
widening gulf between the two.
You sense. talking to Cox, an
effort toward a thoughtful
young man with firm opinions,
and stubborn chin to back
them up. He voices amuse-
ment about public confusion
over a split personality. and
says he isn't a bit confused.
He's spent four years on per-
sonal psychoanalysis, he tells
you. and the Cox life is more
and more his own.
Sit in on lunch and see what
you think.
Wally had a passion for mo-
torcycles in the old days. and
used to give his friends exhila-
rating rides about the city and
surrounding countryside. His
great ambition then was to
build a house with his own
hands. With this in mind, he
purchased two mountainside
acres in nearby Rockland
County with the first money
he made on television.
This was one of the earliest
signs Of split from Mr..
Peppers. A casual and cosmo-
politan young man began to
emerge from a shy, self-con-

Mrs. q. G., BrGndyioi1,e, Md

Here is d method for washing
feather pillows which is quite
a job but worth it for clean,
fresh pillows. Make a slit in
one end Of the pillow ticking
about 6 inches long. ct is
well to do thisanext part out
Of doors.) Force the feathers
from the ticking into pillow
case: make sure there are no
holes In the lease. Get as many
feathers out out the ticking as.
possible. Tie the case tightly
with Irvine or good string, and
hang on the line to air. Turn
the ticking inside out and
shake small feathers loose.
Put the ticking in the wash
ing machine and wash as any.
other piece. After it has dried.
turn to right side again and
force. aired-out feathers back
into ticking. Sew slip by hand
or hine two times.
(Feathers will work through
an ordinary seam, as in
frenched SEAM ] found ]
could do only one pillow at a
time. Transferring feathers is
quite q job but as I said be-
fore, 1t is worth 1t for nice.

luck.
