South Pacific
Ends Run Tonight
NEW WORK

After almost five rollicking,
tuneful years on Broadway. the
famous South Pacific" closes
tonight.
Some 3h million persons will
have paid well over 8 million
dollars to watch Richard Rod
gers and Oscar Hammerstein's
prize-winning play of GIs in the
South Pacific.
After opening April Z, 1949,
South Pacific" will total 1,925
performances when the curtain
goes down for the last time.
usually q very sentimental mo-
ment on both sides of the foot
lights.
There is nothing dead about
South Pacific" however. The
show has been on the road in
the United States for years and
is being performed also in Brit
ain. Sweden and Australia.
Right from the beginning,
South Pacific" was a smash
hit. Some 5000 mail orders ar
rived daily; applicants for the
handful of standing room tickets
lined up at dawn: financial pa
pers advised that here was q
blue-chip investment.
The musical, which won a
dozen prizes and awards in
cluding the Pulitzer drama prize
of 1850 and the 1948-49 New
York drama critics circle award.

home.

and Juliet" After six weeks in
Boston. 1t came back and went
into the Broadway Theatre on
a six-months' lease. The time is
up and the producers have been
unable to find another suitable
house.
Otherwise, South Pacific"
might have continued to take
the longest-B t-Broadway-run title
from "Oklal1oma!" which ran
up 1850 performances.

lives. Murderous violence will
dissolve into serene silence. The
negotiators are in session at Pan
munjom. Yet even in this tren-
bling moment, there is q war
still to be fought, the deadly
ravelings of battle to be- shipped
off.
1t is a hard time to live, an
infinitely harder one to die.
This is the story that cease
Fire" seeks to tell, yet it is some
how too big to be fitted into the
Hcsuftant film. There is drama
in the march of the cameras
with a patrol assigned to take a
lost hill. Red Top, but it is not
the supreme drama Of the mo-
ment so perilously photo
graphed.
It is the misfortune of the
picture directed by Owen Crump,
and played by the real CTS in
volved, that it is both real and
embellished Movies have geo.
metric shape, patrol actions,
battles and wars do not. ConSid-
ering this. Crump did a remark
able job of harmoniZing them
as well as he did.
Cease Fire" is remarkable in
that it started out to be an ex-
animation of action at the front
on what war correspondents used
to call "a quiet day in Korea"
1t became the story of the con-
f1ict's last day when the armi-
stiee upset the original formula
after the film was we'll in prog
resS.
Whatever the day. a sup
posedly quiet one or the final
one, Crump'S cameras make clear
it'was dramatic one for men,
berS of the "Uncle Two" platoon.
Peace may be a few words and
pen-scratchings away in Pam
munjom. Not for the lieutenant
and men of Uncle Two. For
them it lies at the end of a long
walk through He'll, last long
walk one way or another.
The real war photographed in
"CeaSe Fire" differs greatly from
the fictional one Hollywood has
so often. and sometimes so dra-
matically. played. This one is
injected with no artificial ex-
citement. 1t figures death can
be as dramatic when it turks
ominously behind every rock in
Korea's hills as when it comes
out shooting. So it shows its
soldiers walking, crawling, watt
ing while fate directs the scene.
Fate could teach DeMille a lot
about getting suspense into a
quiet scene.
There is little of war that has
not been documentarily recorded
on film. but certain scenes in
"Cease Fire" have not lost their
flavor because of that. There is
one, for instance, that shows the
co-ordinated service branches
gathering for the rescue of the
trapped platoon that is especially
real and Illuminating. Another
standout is the platoon's march
through a mine field.
Another difference between
cease Fire" and the fictional
war film that is accented is the
formers relative freedom from
