The Passing Show
By Jay Cormody

For whatever fattering con-
notations 1t may have, Wash

way In new play openings by a
score OF two to one.
Moreover, both productions
were works Of note, whatever
may be their degrees Of merit.
Each enjoys the most respect
able OF. auspices and they have
the common and praiseworthy
purpose Of escaping the rut Of
sheer commodity which chafes
the theater's most passionate
admirers.
Both plays are derivative,
Clifford Odets' 1.-The Flowering
Peach" from the Old Testa-
ment account of Noah and the
Ark. and William Archibald's
Portrait of a Lady" from one
Of Henry James most typical \
and popular novels. Each,
therefore, faces the hazard Of
preconception which. whatever
its implications may be, turns
out to be the greater In the case
Of Archibald's adaptation at
the National.

This may be glibly, II not
altogether convincingly, ex-
planned by the fact that James
Is one Of the more exciting
literary names once again. He
is back in fashion, not merely
In his original guise as a SEN

as the creator Of source mate

successful play, and 1.-THE

Goetzes, inevitably suggest
James as an escape from the
dreary realism that stalks to-
days stage.
His name also picks up an
additional glow of excitement
in that the successful adapter
Of James achieves something
the latter himself could not
do, namely make a play out of
Jamesian material. No superb
novelist ever tried harder to
be q playwright than James.
Nor did any ever produce
such a quantity of plays that
died In manuscript. @

TOKYO.
Machiko Kyo thought she
had reached the peak Of her
career five years ago when
she realized her life's ambi-
tion--she had become a solo
dancer In q downtown Tokyo
burlesque house.
But then things she had
never dreamed Of began to
happen.
Now, a dizzy five years later.
she is Japan's leading movie
actress-the country's high
est salaried woman and the
star Of three international
prize winning films.
Just 80 years old, and not
especially beautiful by Japan
ese standards, she is earning
a reputed $50, 1000 in yen a year
as the headliner for Japan's
booming movie industry.
Such success simply didn't
occur to her when, as q young
girl fresh from grammar
school, she trotted daily to an
Osaka burlesque where she
was paid SIS a month as one
Of a hundred other line
dancers.
A Minor Dreom
"In those days.: says Ma
chiko, "I dreamed only Of be-
coming a solo dancer, SO that
my mother would nots have
to work"
Her divorced mother. who
raised Machiko alone, had to
rise early from, their slurn-
district home to work at back
breaking manual labor to sup
port herself and her daughter.
Things have changed rapidly
since the night In 1949 when
a scout from the Daiei. Studios
walked into the burlesque
house. watched her act. and
signed her to a contract. Is
Since then Machiko has won
international fame In the

Of woman" she says.
Machiko doesn't sing, and
SO far has had nothing but
serious parts. However, she
says she would like to take q
whirl at comedy after her Sc

ductions.
Come From SIums
Any flair for comedy will
come from hard work and nat

periences in her early life.

himself to be literature's gift

frightened people by the We

more profoundly by proving he
was correct; Hemingway is not

punching you in the nose as
an exclamation point. And Eu-
gene O'Neill would go into a
towering rage If an unknown
reviewer, working on q small
paper, raped anything that
ONeill wrote.
O'NeiII Grubbed
Earlier in this piece, I sug-
gested that O'Neill alone
approximated the legendary
greats Of literature who lived
in atticS.
This Is true. In his early
days as a writer, O'Neill lived
with boon companions in an
East Side cellar. Although he
was the son of a famous actor,
O'Neill was q full -dimensioned
derelict. His food came from
a free-lunch counter in q sa-
loon opposite the old Madison
Square Garden. The buns who
lived with him were in the
same flx.
For breakfast they drank
raw whiskey. often q COM
pound of raw alcohol and var
nish. After one such drinking
bout, O,Neill was rushed to
Bellevue Hospital. Only his
inherent strength pulled him
through.
Later on, he gave up drink
ing completely but those sor-
did experiences of his youth
gave him an understanding OF
people and motives that few
other writers ever possessed.
