MIDTOWN NEW YORK
A Star in Every Can
By ROBERT SYLVESTER

Show business comes in funny
containers these days. 1t comes
in TV tubes and psychosomatic
sound and on hollow movie
screens. But now. bless, it, show
business will soon come to us in
tin cans and in bread wrappers.
Before this year is over, Amer
lea will see more than $1,000
600 worth Of shows and every
one of them is being produced
by the corner grocer.
The story goes this way. Two
young New Workers named Bob
Thompson and Hank Piehl
watched the big supermarkets
and grocery chains give away
coupons and stamps and what
not and decided the markets
were about ripe for show bust
ness. So they set up the follow
ing neat plan:
In % cities you can soon go
to your supermarket or chain
grocery and for every $50 worth
of groceries you buy you'll get a
ticket to show coming soon to
the local armory. Who will be in
the show? Why, it will have stars
like Mickey Rooney. Julius La
Rosa. Georgia Gibbs. Dennis
Day. Patti Page, Elaine Malbin
and almost anybody else you can
think Of Each show will last
almost four hours.
Il 4
Do you have family Of four?
Then Sl20 worth of groceries
gets your four tickets. Since al
most anybody's grocery bill is
$40 week, three weeks worth
of steady shopping brings you
q star in every can.
These "Supermarket Show of
Shows" as they're called, hasten
to inform that, big as they are,
they won't put any extra costs
on your grocery bills. 1t seems
that the supermarkets just go TO
the fellows who make canned
pineapples, bottled coffees and
frozen hot dogs and the manu-
facturers pick up the tab as a
promotional expense.
And that amt all. Door prizes
also go with the plan. The top
door prize is-natch!-a Cadillac.
If you really fill up your kitchen
with supermarket groceries you
may get to go and see super
show in supermarket Cadillac.

Alas, the characters talk in
cryptic dialogue that cries for

story Of powerful impact.
1t happens in the Belgian
Congo. Although the three
persons involved in this tense
drama are white, English, in
fact, you find it hard to be-
lieve that their particular fate
could have overtaken them
anywhere except Africa. And
this feeling is not because the
natives had anything to do
with what happened to them,
but because of the nature of
the vast, brooding mystery of
Equatorial Africa and it's effect
on white men.
The Main Character
The sense that the events had
had to happen in this region,
or somewhere in the heart of
Africa, makes the story cohe-
Sive and inevitable. So often
novelistS, writing of their own
kind transplanted to some such
alien and battling atmosphere,
merely tack on exotic scenery;
what happened to the charac-
tiers could as well have taken
place in London or New York.
But not Mr.. Cloete. When he

writes of Africa, the great con-
tinent, or some fragment of it,
has an overpowering part in
what happens; is, in truth, if
you want to look at it that
way, the main character.
Jim, who tells the story,
starts out in New York, many
years after the events he is
about to relate. Life has
caught up with him. Despite
his successes, material and
otherwise, he is respondent
over a past no one can alter
and a future that seems empty.
Twice he thinks that in the
crowds of downtown Manhat-
tan he sees Helen, the great
love of his youth. Then, after
seeing her vanish, he reflects
that if she could return from
the dreadful journey she once
took, she'd be well into middle
age. not the youthful beauty
he remembers. Then Jim ex-
plains
In Belgian Congo
After the first war, in which
he and his old school friend,
Henry, served, Jim went to
work for Henry, who was man
ager of a cattle plantation in
the Belgian Congo. Jim was
his assistant. There was some
thing, more than a little about
Henry Jim didn't like. despite
their old friendship. There
was, for one thing, Henry's
curious sense of humor, his
delight in cruel practical jokes.
Then, when Henry returned
from a few months leave in
London with a bride, Jim saw
in Helen, a girl of little educa-
ton, of limited background,
the loveliest girl he had ever
seen.
These three were the only
white persons within miles.
When Henry, perhaps suspect
ing an attraction between Jim
and Helen, though neither had
stepped out of strict decorum,
began to treat his bride with
indifference. then with cruelty,
subjecting her TO what he
called jokes. terrifying her
with insects and vermin she
had never seen, the inevitable
was in the making. Naturally
she turned to the kindness and
decency of Jim. and naturally
Henry saw and planned his
revenge.

GREEK SCULPTORS

GREEK SCULPTORS AT
WORK. BY Carl Bluemel.
Translated by Lydia Holland.
(Phaidon-G arden City;
$4.95.)
Ascertaining after two and
a half millenia, how Greek
sculptors worked, would APP
pear to be a colossal under
taking. Yet such is the
achievement Of this volume in
its objective, Ito obtain a
complete survey of the de-
velopment of the plastic arts
during the different periods of
Greek culture. from the ear
Hest rough outlines in stone, to
the state Of final perfection"
Since the sculptors' writings
have vanished during these
many centuries (although
there is occasional information
in inscriptions) the sculptures
themselves are the chief source
OF information, derived from
pieces the artists abandoned
because Of flaws in the marble,
cracks or brittle patches; or
works not completed because
Of the sculptor's death, or his
deportation after the sacking
Of a city.
The author explains clearly
and readably, how the Greek
sculptors. beginning with the
9th century BIC. produced
their works. Sixty EIGHT illus
trations, mostly Of original
unfinished works, are placed
close to the text dealing with
them, providing easy reference
for the reader, a virtue often
lacking in art books.
Four German editions we're
published between 1927 and
SO; this is the first in English.
Primarily Of interest to sculp-
tors and students, 1t should
also appeal to art lovers ut did
to mel. Furthermore. 1t should
have absorbing interest for the
skillful producer Of modern
fakes, as it describes the man
ner in which such pieces de-
part from the originals.

Francisco Goya was So years

The Caprichos are closely re-
lated to two albums of draw
ingS known as the Sanlucar
albums. The first contains
sketches of scenes of pleasant
life in the country house of the
Duchess of Alba. Goya pre-
sumably was at Sanlucar in
1923 and also in 1897. The
second album, also known as
the Madrid album, includes
more sketches of everyday life
and street scenes, but in its last
pages appears an element of
satire, directed against con-
temporary society - something
new to the work of Goya and
possibly attributable to the
nationalist influence of Madrid
friends. Presumably, the album
dates about 1897 and must
have originated about the same
time as the Caprichos.
