NJ. Chase, Auth0r
OF "HarUey," Is
Former Reporter

A young Irish housewife in Den
yer, Colorado, looked up from her
breakfast table and saw a white
rabbit six feet one and one half
inches tall. His name was Harvey.
Since that fateful meeting, many
things have happened. Harvey has
become a play-the Pulitzer Prize
winning play Of 1s45. Harvey, the
character, has also become a leg
end and a conversation piece. And,
il must be added, something of q
force for good in the land.
And the young woman to whom
Harvey appeared has been lifted
by that vision from obscurity and
limited circumstance to sudden
wealth and fame. She is Mary
Coyle Chase, workingman's daugh-
ter, who grew up on Denver's tough
West Side--the wrong side of the
tracks.
She attended public schools and
then, for a few months, the Univer-
sity of Colorado. whence she took
away a priceless piece Of know
ledge. From the thoughtless little
sorority girls, daughters Of well+o-
do families, she learned the cruelty
of people and the depths Of human
snobbery.
Before entering matrimony,
Mary was the brassieSt little news
paperwoman who ever broke into
a second story window and snatch
ed a picture Of murdered cutie
right out from under the coroner's
nose.
She once reported amateur box
ing matches in Denver. These are
frequently CORY, and Mary tainted
when one contestant seemed to be
coming apart.
When she recovered she kept
right on with her job and her ac-
count made the front page.
She became a "sob sister" on the
Rocky Mountain NewS-interview-
ing female criminals, female VIC
tins of male criminals, and max
inc herself out to be foolish by go
ing to baseball openers and writ
ing comic stories by pretending
she didn't know what fly ball
was.
She finally married the city edi-
tor, Bob Chase, dropped out OF the
newspaper business, and had
family.
Mary went into playwriting with
out the slightest idea of making
money. She just got interested.
Money didn't interest her. 1t was
stuff she'd always been flippant
about. "Around my house" she
has said, moneys never been
anything you made; it's been SIM
ply something you owed.
Between cooking, Yashing and
keeping house for a maidless faml-
" Of five (three boysl she prepar-
ed herself by reading every play
from Shakespeare to Shaw and
every text book she could lay her
hands on on the subject.
She does her writing in the DIM
ing room where eight little boys
are usually running around imitat-
ing ~ack-ack guns. She uses a mini
ature theatre with empty Spools
which she moves around to help
her visualise the action and dia-
logue.

Holmes answered the editor

in the fight for the election of

understand that I am running
for County Commissioner and

ourselves, in the nine years we
have been in the newspaper
business in Geauga count
have, many times, attended the
commissioners meetings. Per-
hapS, Mr.. Holmes has b e n
reading the wrong county news
paper?
AS for ordinary citizens be-
ing admitted to these meetings,
We challenge Mr.. Holmes to
give the dates and circunStan-
ceS when HE was refused ad-

meetings. We can furnish the
names of citizens who HAVE

"I would like to discuss these

The charge brought an angry
retort from The Geauga Times
Leader, a Burton newspaper,
edited by Frank Fiegle a n d
published by the TimeS-Leader
Co., of which County Commits
Sioner Tom White is president
In the editorial the T m e s.
Leader said:
1--WE have made an honest
effort to print all of the pertin-
ent facts without indulging in
personalities in the u>r e n t
political campaign. We believ-
ed at the beginning and we
still believe that when a news
paper StoopS to mud-Slinging 1t
does so for one of two reasons;
(a) because there is personal
ill-will between the candidates
and the publisher, or (b) the
publisher is appealing to sem
sation seekers to boost h i S
circulation. We promised our
selves and the readers that The
Geauga TimeS-Leader would
print nothing but the n e W s.
worthy facts. We have k e pit
that promise.

has come to our attention a
matter so serious that we feel
that now we must take a def

Miss Sothern has been around
for several years and has made
countless movies. Not until she
became the heroine Of that tele-
film program, however, did she
look like a headline attraction
to the operator of one of those
lush Las Vegas dollar traps.
Never has she received such a
set Of rave notices as followed
her Las Vegas opening, either.
One columnist claimed in print
that he had never seen a woman
entertainer with more warmth
and charm" Another asserted
that Miss Sothern is a truly
divinely talented show woman. /"
Variety, noting that the act in
which she sings, dances and
plays the piano was beautifully

On the Air
The Marriage Is a Bright
SPOT in the 7V Summer
By Harry Macarthur

The National Broadcasting Co.
has just about counterbalanced
all OF the uninspired doings on
the summer air with one small
half-hour program. It is "The
Marriage" which Jessica Tandy
and Hume Cronyn enact on
Thursdays at 10 pm. (WNBW)
every week.
This is a honey of a show. 1t
is warm hearted. natural, comic
without being foolish and Mr..
and Mrs. Cronyn play it ever so
deity. The description someone
once applied less aptly to an
other program fits this one ex-
tremely well. 1t is normal mar
ried life with all the dull dia-
logue edited out.
1.-THE Marriage" is television's
first continuing weekly program
to be telecast in color on a
regular basis. This may get it
into broadcasting's history
books, but it is far from being
the shows only distinction. It is
not even its leading distinction.
It's principal distinction is that
it is a half hour program about
a married couple which you can
watch without getting the sus-
piction that the broadcasters
regard us all as mentally re-
tarded. The Liz and Ben Mar
riott played by Miss Tandy and
Cronyn have been kept wonder
fully normal by Writer Ernest
Kinoy. He may make them a
little larger than life for en-
phasis and comedy. but he does
not expand them out Of proper
ton and he does not saddle them
with slapstick.
NJ \ r
Last week the Mariotts were
going over ground that is as old
as the art of story telling.
Daughter was leaving the safety
of the nest to try her fledgling
wings at her first formal dance.
This is a crisis which faces mill
lions of sets of parents every
year. Millions of others have
faced it and remember it we'll,
or are due to face it in the not
So-diStant future.
There is not, it must be adj
mitted, much new to be said
about it. What Mr.. Kinoy said,
however, as passed along by Miss
Tandy and Cronyn and Director
Jack Garfein, who is a def one,
too, was q delightful blend of
warmth and humor. It may have
been old stuff, but the handling
was superbly fresh and bright.
The Cronyns play at being
married as engagingly as any
couple you ever saw on q tele-
vision screen, or on a movie
screen or a stage, for that mat
ter. They obviously like each
other and the interplay between
them in any scene is a thing of
beauty. The kaleidoscope of
changing moods in Miss Tandy's
performance is a joy to behold.
They get some able assistance,
too, from pretty Susan Stras-
berg, as the teen-age daughter,
and Malcolm Brodrick, as the
younger son. Both manage to
come off as normal, live chill
dren, rather than artificial stage
children.
