ToIIuIoh Repeats Regina
In Ibsen's 'Heddu GobIer'
By Harry Macarthur

such q thoroughgoing witch. It
was inconceivable that any uni
versity professor in mis- right
mind. let alone two of them in
a row, ever would have enjoyed
her company for any stretch of
time.
Miss Bankhead was not to-
tally to blame for the shape
Ibsen took on the TV screen. Of
course. In fact, it was in many
respects a real rouser of a per-
formance she turned in except
when. in a show of scorh or ex-
citement, she swallowed her
words. These must have been
difficult moments for those who
didn't know in advance what
havoc Hedda would wreak be-
fore the hour was over.
The others in the cast-John
Baragrey as the old lover, Eu-
genia Rawls as the other woman,
Alan Hewitt as Hedda's husband
and Luther Adler as the judge
who kept Sinking in the back
door-matched Miss Bankhead' S
intensity. The end effect of their
combined efforts was more the
atrical than dramatic, however.
1t could be that "Hedda Ga
bier" is fine when watched in a
theater with a group of other
playgoers. but unbearable when
intensified and magnified in a
corner of the living room. Or
maybe the century turned SO
long ago. This was a slick pro-
duction. though. and Mr.. Segal
made his customary alert use
of his cameras.

Railroad Plans
To Link Fares to
Living Cost Index
BY the Assoeiesed Pres.

( STAMFORD. Conn, Dec. 15.-
The New Haven Railroad plans
eventually to tie commuters
fares to the cost of living index,
Patrick B. McGinnis, president
Of the road. said here yesterday
Mr.. McGinnis. speaking at a
dinner meeting of the Stamford
Rotary Club, said the first step
would be to establish the fare
in proportion to the cost of liv-
ing. After that, he said, the rates
would be examined every three
months and adjusted upward or
downward to conform with the
cost-of- Living index.
The plan, Mr.. McGinnis said,
could not be put into operation
until two other problems con-
fronting commuters have been
solved. These problems he de-
fined as providing more parking
space at railroad stations and
replacing Grand Central Station
in New York with something
more functional.
