Five years may be q long
time to have waited for
South Pacific" but Washing
tonians seeing it for the first
time, or wisely seeing it
again, have no doubt of the
secret of its enormous popu-
larity.
There has never been a mu-
sical quite like this one, not
even in the large, enchanting
medley Of hits turned out by
Richard Rodgers and Oscar
Hammerstein II. Musically, it
is the equal of the best of
these ("Oklahoma!" or take
your choice). Plotwise, in the
opinion of this enthusiast. it
is the superior Of all the
others.
That every one has been
somewhat tardy in perceiving
this virtue of South Pacific"
Is not at all mystifying.
True Successor
In its beginning, it was the
complete enchantment, the
several productions removed
but true successor to "Okla-
homa!" It was the perfect
echo Of all the beguiling gen.
iuS the MeSsrs. Rodgers and
Hammerstein had invested in
their first great hit. Where
''Carousel," allegro" had
failed to efface memories of
the 1943 triumph, South Pa
cif1c" swept them completely
aside.
In the human nature Of
things, the spell it cast needed
perSoniflcation and the per-.
sons were extravagantly avail
able in Mary Martin, as Nurse
Nellie Forbush, and Ezio PIMA
as the cosmopolite planter who
swept the Arkansas Navy en-
sign OF her travel-worn, war
time feet.
These two ever-So- -writable
stars of the overwhelming hit
naturally and inevitably took
over in the public mind. 1t
became, with the full and
modest consent of every one
else involved, the Mary Martin
Ezio PIMA musical. 1t had
been different with "Okla-
homa!" That musical made
stars of Alfred Drake and Joan
Roberts, whereas Miss Martin
and Mr.. PIMA were ready
made when they merged their
personal magic with that Of
South Pacific"
So, They Stoyed

"For years." he explained,

the opening of a $40 account.
It didn't take long for the

This is easy to believe. A

The advertising agency head
smiled and there was wistful-

"She put her arm around

she stood me of at arms length

he'd charge another $1.50?"
The men all remembered.
And then the women started
remembering things.
"I'd gone to work in an

"after finishing high school.
So when I got my first weeks

Just about the most dan

"It's going to be different

warned Of the oblivion that

happens when you win an

Donna has completed three

Donna is currently set for a

Shelton Barely Fails
In Assault on World
High Jump Record
BY the A,,oeiatad Press


ANN ARBOR, Mich, June H.
Southern California, led by Err
ME Shelton, who barely missed
a world record in the high jump,
and by Jim Lea a repeat win
ner in the $40, won the NCAA
track and field championship
for the sixth straight time this
afternoon.
The power packed Trojan
team overwhelmed all opposition
by scoring 66 1920 points. I'LL
nois, with three winners, was
second with 81 1920 points, fol-
loved by California: 81; Texas,
10. and Michigan, 1873.
Tried for World Record.
Shelton won the high jump at
6 feet, 104 inches. and then
tried three times at feet to beat
Walt Davis world record of 6
feet. 11l2 inches. He barely
licked the bar on each attempt.
I'll never make it now" he
said sadly afterward, although
he does get another chance in
the National AAU meet next
week in st. Louis.
Lea won the quarter mile with
a fine 46.7 seconds, four yards
ahead of Ben Youtsey of Purdue.
Other repeat winners were John
Bennett of Marquette in the
broad jump with Is feet, 1924
inches, the best in the world this
year, and Willie Williams Of
Illinois with 81 seconds in the
100-yard dash.
Little Arnold Sowell of Pitts
burgh again beat Tom Courtney
of Fordham, whom he defeated
in the IC-4A meet two weeks
ago. with a rather slow 1904
in the half-mile.
Bill Delllnger Of Oregon, the
Pacific Coast Conference cham
pion, came up in . the home
stretch to beat Lew Olive of
Army and Bill Squires of Notre
Dame in a ABB mile. Squires
later was disqualified and Lowell
ZellerS of Indian was placed
third.
Thomas Wins 22O-DaSh.
The Southwest Conference til
tleholder, Charlie Thomas of
Texas, won the 220-yard dash in
POT seconds, while two Illinois
boys. Willard Thomson and Joe
Corley, divided the hurdles races.
Thomson won the 12O-yard
highs in 142 seconds and Corley
the 220-yard lows in 22.6, the
latter equalling Jesse Owens
Ferry Field record.
The field events produced no
startling upsets. although Fred
Barnes of Fresno State in the
pole vault was the only defend
ing champion who failed to re-
peat. The event went to Law
renee Anderson of California
and Earl Poucher of Florida,
tied at IA feet. 2 inches.
Jim Dillon of Auburn took the
discus with ITS feet, 3 inches;
Tom Jones of Miami (Ohio) the
shot put with 81 feet, 27s inches,
