NEW YORK--As 1t turned

In the words Of Paul NUM-:

have peace Of mind"

a pair Of sun glasses from a
pocket, asked:
do you mind il ] put these
on? the glare is bothersome." !"
There was brilliant sunlight
in the room, but the next day
he found more than that glare
was at fault. And on Tuesday
night an announcement was
made at the National Theater
just before the performance of
Inherit the Wind" was to
start. An understudy was
taking over Muni's role-and
has continued in 1t since.
At Peak OF Career
Then the public learned
muni--who reaped an ovation
each evening-was stricken
with an eye malady at the very
peak Of this marka BILE
triumph which brought him
out of six years retirement
for a second fling at fame.
tMuni since has vowed his
determination to return to the
play as soon as he has been
cured.)
For many who have seen his
portrayal, the final FLIP in the
applause was that MUM, the
mysterious. had returned to
greasepaint.

Cleo Disputes Curve Appeal.
Soys 1t Lies in the yes

eyes to get over sex appeal,
Cleo argues.
June Allyson is not thought
of as an obviously sexy star.
But when she opens wide those
big. baby-blue eyes. you know
every guy in the place Is going
to fall apart"
Van Trustworthy
Cleo also touched on q pos
sible explanation for the box
office chemistry that made
June and Van johnson screen
lovers for so long.
wan, like June, has the kind
Of eyes that make you trust
him Immediately. You want
to know him better"
Even Marilyn Monroe, ac-
cording to Cleo. has said more
with half-closed eyelids than
she has with that famous
wiggle.
OF course, Cleo admits that
only a woman would notice
the Monroe eyes.
Gary Cooper is one of the
most durable of all Hollywood
boxoffice stars despite little
publicity and a stole style Of
acting. In fact. Cooper once
stood beside q wooden cigar
store Indian in a Western
movie and some critic accused
the Indian of overacting.
Coop A Trapper
Cooper never has to open
his mouth with those dreamy
eyes. The girls all say 'yup'
for him." Cleo said.
Cleo has what one might
label Western Union eyes
they deliver the message.
The louisiana blond-she
once had the late Huey Long
for a father-in-law--also
would like to take of on an
other issue. Gossip columnists
made much of the fact that
Cleo showed up stag at a re-
cent night club opening.
1T looked like / just walked
in by myself. Going stag cost
me 5000. True, l didn't have a

ness associates and their wives.
1t was my party and II I had

THE PASSING SHOW
Drama Summer Ends,
Leaving q Lesson

began to roll here.
We Proved It.
Having proved itself over
four summers with record
patronage Of such musicals as
Call Me Madam" Gentle
men Prefer Blonds," "Porgy
and Bess." "Guys and Dolls"
and South Pacific" WASH
ington thought there could be
no further doubt Of its place
In the heart Of New York's
producers.
There was, however. not
merely In the case Of "Can
Can" but Of "The King and l."
When the latter closed last
night, in Its fifth week. it was
playing not merely to capacity,
but to the legal limit Of SO
standees per performance. In
it's five weeks, the Rodgers and
Hammerstein production,
crossed some $225.000 at the
boxofiice. This is but little be-
low the levels Of New York's
top musical hits, Fanny"
"Pajama Came" Damn Yam
KEGS" and "Silk Stockings" all
of which are four years younger
than "The King and l."
Together with ''The Skin Of
Our Teeth" the two musicals
gave the National Q nine
weeks gross Of approximately
$400. 900, than which no sum
short Of s4o0.o01 could more
emphatically indicate the city's
hunger for summer diversion.
Change Coming
The indications are that New
York producers will no longer
be so haphazard in dealing
with Washington in the So
called OF season. It is this
departments long range sur
mise-if not prophecy-that .
l2-weeks' season next summer
will be divided between two
productions. The two? Well,
the Broadway mpany Of
Teal house of the August
Moon" and either "Pajama
Game" or Damn Yankees"
! New York, you see, Is not
without remorse and a sense
of financial unwisdom at its
casual way Of dealing with
the strictly legitimate theater
here.
There is every likelihood
that 1t next year will correct
another remissne1s that many
feel is equally heinous. This is
permitting the National and
the Shubert theaters both to
remain dark during the April
May tourist season. This Is
the period during which the
city is overrun with visitors
and one in which institutions
with q sound business sense,
including the movies. do ev-
erything to make the city's
guests happy.
Far less attractive tourist
centers take the attitude that
such a time as this is one to
put on festivals, especially
drama festivals. There is q
good chance that next season
Washington win get into the
act.
II so. the summer of 1855
will have been instructive as
well as hot. hurricane-bat-
tered and busless.

lowed ourselves to get into o

Neither one of US conteln-
plates another IS or 40 years
hereabouts and we feel We
have reached that time when
we shouldn't have to worry
about things"
AS he talks. it becomes clear
that this new phase is strictly
logical in the life Of a man
who quietly, firmly says:
i've never had personal re-
gard for tradition or the
cliches of life simply for their
own sake" individual iride-
, pendence he feels, is the best
of all human goals.
Defends Aloofness
Everyone should be able to
do whatever he wants, as long
as he doesn't injure anyone
else" he remarks in oblique
commentary on his reputation
as a remote figure.
MUM, whom a friend once
described as pursued by q
fear of failure" has an in
satiable desire for perfection.
He also has an unspoken but
long known aversion to being
misunderstood in occasional
publicized remarks.
What he says about the way
in which he studies a role is
a key to understanding him.
Il recite all the lines of q
part into a tape recorder. then
play this melody" over and
over until the words are
learned automatically and
without thought of their mean
ing.
Then I try to throw all those
separate words away, and ana
lyze the theme behind them.
We don't think word by word,
but in phrases of ideas. 1t is
the overall context which
matters"
MUM should be heard in
context.
There's a general opinion
that all actors are cut of the
same cloth. 1t never seems to
occur to some people that there
might be a few-or a few
thousand-that are not always
In night clubs.
Pattern Evident
'I've always had q terrific
yearning to be detached from
doing what tradition says has
to be done" he explains, then
adds I'm motivated by whims
which no doubt have basis
somewhere"
Looking back over the career
which began in the yiddish
theater (Muni Weisenfreund
was born to a theatrical family
in Austria and started per-
forming in this country 48
years ago). the star admits
there has been a pattern Of
motivation in his greatest roles
-Zola, Pasteur, Scarface or
the attorney of Inherit The
Winds"
Il have to be indignant about
something" he says. The cur
rent play lured him from self
imposed retirement because
there were SO many things in it
I wanted to say"
There was a benign urbanity
behind the words-and a sort
of prophecy too in his next
words for the tomorrow when
all eye ailments may have been
allayed.
Should another play ever
come along to- ignite me as this
one haS-that I would want to
perform too"
