Loves Old Sweet Sonq
Soroyon Prize PIoy Back in Gotham
With His and Its Charm lntuct
BY Ward Morehouse

and for which he has album
dant affection.
1.-THE Time of Your Life"
the third offering Of the win
ter season at City Center. is
still an imaginative and enor-
mously entertaining play. And
It's one, if you remember. that
won the Pulitzer Prize.
Spewoeks Again
The Spewacks. Sam and
Bella, have provided a lot Of
commotion in their new COM
edy, FESTIVAL" but they
haven't written much Of 4
play. Nor have they written
irresistible characters in such
people as a stormy interna-
tional impresario, an explosive
concert pianist who worries
about his health. and a young
woman piano teacher who
strives to get the impresario
to take over her child-prodigy
pianist. The comedy, and the
fancy setting Of a Beverly
Hills home, bring forth more
assorted men and women, in
cluding a female cellist.
It's a play that comes
through as a contrived and
labored theater piece as the
impresario calls upon the
teacher to do all possible. in
cluding posing as an ex-mis-
tress, to get the concert piaa-
list, definitely a hypochondriac,
to keep an engagement in
Mexico.

HOLLYWOOD.

Kim Novak is luscious proof
that even blonds can be SEN
sible.
This Bohemian beauty from
Chicago is unquestfonably the
brightest new star in town. A
year ago. she was a model
opening refrigerator doors.
Such a rapid climb Is enough
to make even brunettes and
red heads giddy but it's nice to
report that Kim has kept her
shapely legs on the ground.
She stiil lives at the Studio
Club, q Hollywood version Of
the YwCA. The only mink
coats she wears are the ones
the studio lends her.
she has not gone Hollywood
although It's safe TO say that
Hollywood has gone for her.
How does Kim explain this rare
common sense quality?
My mother and father al
ways told me that Bohemians
are not snowy people. ! guess
that's the answer" Then. she
added:
II reason that I may be q
star to my parents my friends,
my studio and even the public
but am ] q star 70 another
star?"

There's a strong possibility
that at az. Miss Kilt will not

The stocky, thick-eyebrowed
and emotional Californian
known as William Saroyan,
too long absent from the local
theater, is again represented
in midtown Manhattan by
"The Time of Your Life at
City Center. This casual and
enormously likable play is just
as ingratiating as it was DUR
ing its first New York run and
1t is again expertly played.
Franchot Tone takes the role
of the mysterious Joe who has
money and is willing to spend
it. He gives an appealing per-
formance, although one that
misses some of the shadings
that Eddie Dowling brought to
the part years ago. The light
footed Harold Lang is a won-
derful choice as the hoofer,
Harry, first played by Gene
Kelly. Myron Mccormick con-
tributes all his professional
skill to his acting as the
tolerant bartender.

and has tall stories to tell.

actors, is tremendously anus

spending Joe's errand boy.
Ienka Peterson, a young ac-

His partner, William PERL

The team, currently on the

to talk to the Navy and the

They did not come to discuss

be discussed.
This correspondent who
split three small pots Of coffee
with Perlberg and Seaton
found them full Of no sur
prises. Their pictures. movies
of course. are a dead giveaway
OF what they are like--relaxed,
articulate, sure of their atti-
tude and happily reassured of
the concurrence in 1t Of

public.
Seaton, the tall one who was
born in South Bend. Ind. and
went to Yale, Summed up the
firms purpose tersely:
What we like to do" he
said, ''is make pictures which
do good and do we'll" BY the

not mean passionate message

"It has just happened" Mr..
Perlberg says. I'VE liked them
and they we're what we most
wanted TO do."
And" says Mr.. Seaton. 'as

the last one was not what you
would call a best-seller."
They agree-as they finally
do about nearly everything
that the best thing that has
happened In Hollywood In re-
cent years is the emergence
of the writer as the dominant
figure In fllm-making. There
are now 81 writer directors in
Hollywood, far and happy
cry from the day when the
author was the submerged man
in the studios.
But Writer Seaton does not
go along with that extreme
of writer independence which
sees the set-up extended to
include production as well as
direction Of his scripts.
Writers" he says, need
critics. and the producer who
knows his business is just the
critic an author needs. / think
the failure of some Of the
earliest, hottest successes
among the writer director
group grew out of their as
sumption of production con-

Actors Also Freer
On the subject of freedom
In Hollywood, Perlberg and
Seaton are happy to see stars
and other players breaking
away from studio contracts.
This is not so much because
they are producers who like a
wider choice Of performers,
but rather because they think
independence Is an asset to
creative types.
Nevertheless, in spite of this
attitude, Perlberg and Seaton
are extremely happy recently
to have had the services of a
non-free actress. This is Grace
Kelly, under contract to MGM,
who plays the lead in both
Inc country Glri ana Ihe

She is the type, they both
predict enthusiastically, that
every film maker will be
yearning for henceforth, as
fervently as the latter ever
yearned for the congenital
siren. Say. Jane Russell al

are too tactful to say any par
