Years In the theater usually
pick up q label. Especially,
the good ones.
They become, in turn, a d.
rectors' year. or a playwrights',
or an actors.
Last season, which marked
the return Of elegance and/or
grace and signs Of superior
intelligence and taste at work,
was a playwrights' season.
"Tiger at The Gates" 1.-THE
Chalk Garden" and MY Fair
Lady" were the principal con-
tributorS to this assay Of the
periods intrinsic worth.
This year, even better, has
not been labelled. This is no
mystery to a man just back
from Broadway with a mind
full Of memoS Of its bright and
varied excellenceS. The play
wrights, directors and actors
all seem to be collaborating so
dazzingly that it would be un-
just to single out any one
group as giving the season its
definite stamp.
The Marches, Maybe
This correspondent would
be the last to ruffle the serene
surface Of this equality be-
tween the several professional
groups.
Therefore, he is particularly
anxious not to be misunder-
stood when he says that never
has he returned from New
York with more vivid memories
Of superb acting. Broadway
aboundS in prizeworthy per-
formances for which there can
not conceivably be enough
prizes to go around next spring.
1t may very well be that the
top awards at that time of
summing UP will go to the
Fredric Marches, Mrs. March
being of course Miss Florence
Eldridge. They are playing the
father and mother roles in
Eugene O'Neill's Autobiography
ical Long Days Journey Into
Night" Stage portraiture sell
dom attains such blistering
truth in laying bare the ma
lures Of a clustering, terrified,
egomaniac male and a frus-
trated woman who fuels her
days with morphine.
Thetacting of the Marches
is incredibly moving but is it
more effective than that Of
Jason Richards. jr.. as the
O'Neill's older son, Jamie, the
playwright's brother? This wit
ness pleads whatever amend
ment it is that permits a critic
to avoid self-incriminatiop on
the charge of dubious judg-
ment.
Miss Leighton Brilliant
How about brilliant acting in
q less powerfully written play,
one which finds its major ex-
cellence in performance?
Such a play, actually two
plays in one, is Terence Rat
tigan's Separate Tables" The
stars Of this one are Margaret
Leighton and Eric Portman, q
pair Of England's best in UNI
forgettably revealing portraits
of some extremely ordinary,
essentially undramatic, human
beings. Particularly in the
second of the two plays. and
by far the better one, is the
acting superb.

mans a phony Army major
sunk to molesting women In
movie theaters, are colorless
as compared with those Of the
O'Neill play. But they stick
similarly in the mind when
the English stars have finished
with what they have to show
Of their suffering and their
odd little ultimate triumph.
Almost next door on New
York's 45th street. the Morosco
theater is housing a 'spate Of
acting which could not be more
contrastingly light yet not q
whit less engrossing. This Is
the scene of Shaw's Major
Barbara" a delight to audi
ences and a field day for actors.
It is loaded with stars as q
Shaw play deserves to be, de-
nnands to be indeed If the best
is to be got out Of it.
A Bow to LaughtOn
AS Andrew Understand, the
amorally wise munitions ty-
coon, Charles Laughton has
unrivalled opportunity to dis
play the best bravura style in
the profession. Mr.. Laughton
would be the last actor In
Equity to fail in such a case.
He does not fail.
In the same group, Eli Wal
ZACH. who may be the best
young actor from Broadway to
Hollywood. is giving a stun
ming performanc as Bill
Walker, the unregenerate. un-
reformable bum who is one OF
Shaw's everlaStingly funny
characters. Cornelia Otis Skim
ner, Glynis Johns and Burgess
Meredith prove their star
status in the same play.
AS the most generous OF
playwrightS to actors, Shaw
on lesser scale--is giving glow
ing opportunities to Maurice
Evans and Signe Hasso in THE
Apple Cart"
And, it is Shaw amplified
with all that is brilliant, who
is responsible for the impact
of Julie Andrews and Rex Har-
rison in MY Fair Lady" The
effect Of these two in the
Eliza Doolittle and Prof. Henry
Higgins roles Is such that most
theatergoers question that
they ever can be replaced. or
substituted for in subsequent
companies. Calmer minds,
more conscious of theater his
tory and with no desire to
minimize the charm Of Miss
Andrews or Mr.. Harrison,
feel differently. They remem-
Der that Margaret SULLIVAN
was easier to replace than
Elliott Nugent in 1.-THE Voice
of the Turtle" and that South
Pacific" outlasted Ezio PIMA
by years.
It's Sheer Acting
A better case for the indis-
penSable man and woman
could be made for the stars
of one popular Broadway ex-
hibit which owes its success
primarily to its players. This
would be THE Reluctant
Debutante," q charming tri1e,
which might well evaporate
in less dextrous hands than
those of Adrienne Allen and
Wilfrid Hyde White.
The sum total of the work
OF those mentioned may not
finally stamp this as an actors
year in the theater. This will
not change the fact that act
ing is one of the stunning
seasons more stunning facets.
