a feeling as it is often made out
to be, if it leads us to something
more important than mere remain

the desire to retrieve at least

nostalgia can spur us on to a
study, an examination and an
appraisal Of the past which has

can see more clearly and more
easily what in our past is so pre-

own survival, that we would be

Edmund Purdom, the Eng
lish actor who plays the title
role in Student Prince"
speaks what he calls an inter-
national accent.
"It'S not the affected British
accent which you hear so many
of the young actors in Eng
land use," he explain e d.
Rather, it's a kind of language
employed by some of the best
actors like Laurence Olivier
and Michael Redgrave. 1t is an
accent that can be understood
on both sides of the Atlantic. :"
While many British actors
are understandable by Ameri-
can audiences, Purdom de-
clared the languages of the two
countries are drawing apart.
Many of the common Eng
lish terms have an entirely diff
ferent meaning in America" he
said.

Few top performers, if any. are
as willing as he to go on the
road. None believes more fer
vently that Ponca City, Okla
is as entitled as New York to
see the best in theater.
For all his intense idealism,
however, Fonda is human. Be-
ing human. he gets tired. Being
a husband and father. he also
gets lonely. The remedy for this
loneliness is to see his family.
That is why he rushed of to
New York last night, to spend his
day OF before the Pittsburgh
opening with his wife and chill
dren.
Its been a great trip" Fonda
said yesterday. "but like none I
ever made before. None of this
actor business of sleeping until
noon. The bus went before
noon. sometimes early irf the
morning, sometimes all night.
We went with it. It was the
only way, so often, to get from
the high school auditorium
where we played last night to
the university field house where
we were playing tonight.
You know how we rehearse?
Well. often sitting side by side
on the bus-in flight from one
booking to the next. I have
nothing against this system, with
the exception that you can't take
your family along. That's what
makes New York look good right
now.
AS his predecessors in Don
Juan in He'll" and John Browns
Body" Fonda and his colleagues
in THE Caine" production have
learned many things. For one.
and the most important. the
hunger of human for theater.
For another that theater is
theater in the most unlikely
places. co lcert halls. auditori-
inns, university field houses, any,
where.
"The lighting is ilnprovised
and you don't even t'y to conceal
the microphones that are i'm
perative to magnify-and also to
distort-the voice if every one is
to faar." Fonda says.
But every one was delighted,
1t has been great success and
we played to as many as 5000
in one performance" he adds.
This is two and one-half times
the audience that packed each
of the three performances here.
II \ \
It is a season and half that
Fonda has been out of New York.
He covered the westward route
to the Pacific last year in Point
of No Return" the way back in
1.-THE Caine Mutiny Court
Martial" The outward journey
was made mostly in bookings
that permitted longish stops;
the inward one by way of a
multitude of one-night stands.
This is the way Gregory pro-
ductlonS go. Some cosmopolites
among actors have learned a lot
about life and the theateY in
them, before Fonda such as
Charles Boyer. Judith Ander-
son, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Ty-
rome Power, etc.
Their friends have been prone
to conclude that these are not
only better actors tor this off,
beat experience, but more human
humans.
Not Fonda. He gives the i'm
preston that if he were any
more human, he'd snap.
Fonda has no notion when. if
ever, The Caine Mutiny Court

will. Mister Roberts" did after

Good Social coverage
He added that our coverage of
social news is much more COM
plete than in Holland and that for
eign news gets much more en-
phasis there.
"Of course most of the news
that we consider foreign happens
in the United States" Leffelaar
pointed. out. What you consider
domestic news is foreign to u.s."
Besides being a newspaperman,
Leffelaar has law degree from
Hollands famed University of Ley
den and is the author Of a prize
winning novel, On My Own Author
ity, based on his experiences as
12-year-old inmate of a wartime
Japanese concentration camp in
Indonesia, where he spent his child
hood.
Memorial Prize
He received word recently that
the novel won a prize established
by a Dutch family as a memorial
to their daughter, who was killed
by German occupation troops dur
ing World War II.
Monti, also a law graduate (the
University of Bologna), took time
out from his enthusiastic discourse
on Key West spear fishing to COM
ment on the role of the newspaper
in his homeland.
He holds that newspapers are
Italy'S most potent weapon "a
gainst the threat of communist do
mination.
That the communist problem in
Italy is important, was pointed up
by Monti when ne said that 35 per
cent of the Italian population are
members of the party.
ItalY's Problems
Reason, he says, is the serious
unemployment situation in Italy. A
total of Is per cent of the poten-
tal wage-earners there more
than million persons - are with
out work, he said.
"But all other political parties
and vast majority of the news
papers are united against the COM
muniSts," Mont added.
The students have been in the
country for three months and will
remain a year. They plan on
spending next summer in Oregon
working in lumber camp.
The pair had hoped to make a
Havana visit while in Key West,
but a delay in obtaining a visa
from the Cuban government may
rule out that possibility.
Meanwhile, they are planning to
make their first American Christ
mas a Key West Christmas.
