THE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
THE COMING ELECTION

be the day when voters of Dade County will 90 to the
polls and cast their votes in the primary for officials to
govern the city, county and state of Florida The runo
election comes off May 20.
The election this year is very important one. We
must elect governor for fouryear term to succeed

There five candidates running for the office be-
sides the incumbent, Gov. Collins
They are Former Governor Fuller Warren, General
(ret) Sumpter Lowry of Tampa; Atty C. Farris Bryant
of Ocala; Peasee Streets of Miami and W. B. Price of
Jacksonville.
The candidates, or five of Them have made segrega-
ton big issue in this campaign They not only op-
posed the Supreme Courts decision against segregation
in public schools but promise to do all in their power to
maintain segregation
Governor Warren wants a united Southern effort to
have the 18th Amendment to the Constitution modified
that the states will have sayso the question
General Lowrys platform is segregation. He seems
think he win that ISSUE In denouncing the de-
cson of the Supreme Court he said he had spoken many
Negroes his tour of the state and they do not want in
tegration.
We take issue with the General Perhaps the major
y of those he spoke to- felt that way but just how
they?
Even so, those who said they against segrega-
ton just saying what Lowry wanted them to say.
There than 60O,0 Negroes in the state of
Florida Di dthe General speak to many 1000 Ne
groes? General know you mistaken. Negroes are
against segregation just much you for it. Can
reasonably think otherwise?
Lowry is also reported to be using picture with Gov
Collins shaking hands with Negro He does not like
that
Atty Farris Bryant bitterly opposes not only desegre
cation in public schools but desegregation of any kind
Peasey Streets might be against segregation, but at
least he has not made issue of it in the campaign
far we know.
Nor base w. G.. Price of Jacksonville made segrega
ton campaign issue.
There remains one more candidate-Governor Leroy
Collins.
The governor opposes desegregaon in public schools
He would like to before the Supreme Court to fight de-
segregation in public schools.

The Ever-FobuIous Invalid
Optimistic Diagnosis

commentators who have been
sick with a kind of chronic
necrophilia.
The source of this disease is
not a wish for the theater to
die. Almost all critics love the
theater. Loving it,. they fret
over it like an anxious parent.
When a change comes over
the child they fly into a panic
forgetting that all things in
the world keep changing. FIRE.
quently they mistake growing
pains for harbigners of a IA
tai illness.
The theater remains de-
spite the many DISCUSSES it has
worn. In ancient Greece, the
audience sat on a hillside. At
the foot of the hill were steps
that assembled to a stage, and
upon that stage actors read
lines by playwrights who ad-
hered to rigid conventions.
The unities of time, space and
action were observed. Masks
were used. Choruses COM
mented on the action, to clar-
ify theme and character.
The Marks Remain
We no longer write or pre-
sent plays in this way, but
that does not mean that the
Greek theater is dead. In the
same way. as the adult life of
an individual is influenced by
his childhood. so does our
modern theater bear the
marks Of the ancient Greeks.
We keep what we inherit
and we continue to develop q
new and increasingly varied
theater.
The most radical changes OF
all have been wrought in this
century with the development
Of electronic science. Many
who are predicting the de-
mise Of the theater are ex-
GLIDING from their considera-
tons the electronic media of
radio. television and the
movies.
II Is Shrinking
II you accept this limited
conception, you must then ad-
NIT most certainly that the
theater. If not dying, is GER
tainly shrinking. Twenty years
ago New York had twice as
many legitimate theaters as it
has now. Many cities which
used to harbor legitimate at
fractions have no legitimate
theater whatever today. The
movies have supplanted 1t.
Now in turn the number of
movie theaters is decreasing
due to the inroads OF TV. But
in my own conception Of the
theater. these electronic media
must be included. I believe
that wherever there is an au-
Sience and a stage or a screen.

He's Right Agent if Not
Right Mate for Vivian
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM

HOLLYWOOD, July 81
(NANA).-"My big problem in
marriage" said Vivian Blaine,
was the fact that two people,
both interested in the same
career, were together all day.
1t reached the stage where my
husband and I talked nothing
but business morning, noon
and night. "a hours a day. You
have to have something else
in a marriage besides your
work. The all-important little
things were forgotten because
we were both too busy with
my career"
Vivian saw nothing partic-
ularly surprising in the fact
that. midway in getting a di-
vorce from Nanny Frank, she
signed a new, long-term con-
tract for him to continue as
her manager.
"Manny'S a good manager"
said Vivian. Just because two
people can't work things out
as husband and wife, it doesn't
follow they can't be compat-
ible as manager and client"
Career ZOOmed
The record SubStantiates
Vivian's opinion of Nanny as
manager They were mar
ried in 1945, soon after he
began handling her affairs.
Since then Vivian's career
zoomed steadily in just about
every phase of show business.
In fact, Nanny is so busy
keeping Vivian busy, he's the
one who will have to sit out
the required six weeks in Ne
vada awaiting the divorce de-
cree. Vivian is all booked up
and hasn't anywhere near that
much free time.
you might say" she ob-
served. "that Nanny outman-
aged himself. and he didn't do
1t purposely-he doesn't like
Nevada at all. But he's being
very sweet about it.
Il think that a man and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-22

a woman should not be to-
gether all day. If two people
experience everything together,
there is nothing to talk about.
A certain amount of privacy
and being apart for a while
is all-important to a marriage.
If Nanny and I had interests
other than my career. then
our marriage might have sur
vived. Every gal looks forward
to when her husband comes
home from work and they can
talk about the days happen
ings. In our case there was
nothing to talk about, as we
were together all day.
Would Marry Again
Many people have asked
me why Nanny will continue
to be my manager. Obviously,
Nanny knows me extremely
well after all these years and
he will continue to be a close
personal friend. l honestly
want to get married again but
there is no one at this time.
Looking back over our mar
rage Of more than 10 years,
one of the major factors in
its breakup was the lack of
mystery. 1 am not trying to
sound corny, but there has to
be something about your hus-
band regarding which you are
curious. and separations, even
for q few weeks or Just q week
end, often make you curious
about one another and you
look forward to seeing each
other again."
On Broadway
When Vivian completed her
screen role in RKO's Public
Pigeon Number One" with Red
Shelton and Janet Blair, she
reported three days later in
New York to start rehearsals
for "A Hatful Of RAIN" in
which she took over the
Shelley Winters role. Vivian's
contract in "Hatful" runs until
June, 1857. Then she'll take
the play on the road.
TITS quite an about-face-
the role In 'Hatful'," said
Vivian, but I think the
change Of pace will be good
for me. I've been with 'Ade-
laide' in Guys and Dolls and
with her cousin, Rita in Pub
lie Pigeon Number One for
quite a while now. I'm very
fond Of them, but even with
people you love. it's good to
get away now and then"
quite a while" is something
Of an understatement. All told,
Vivian was Adelaide for five
years-on Broadway. in Lon

Goldwyn's movie version. and

hardest thing was to keep from

scenes with him. He's on

went to a psychoanalyst and
that did a great deal for me.
I found I'd have to learn to

I'm back in the New York

Changed Little
Claiborne Foster, small and
slight. has changed little since
her Broadway stardom in such
plays as THE Patsy" Gypsy"
Trigger" and Two Fellows

her ingenue-like figure, she
now is playing the role of the
tormented mother, Big Mama,
in Tennessee Williams Cat

performance that has been
acclaimed by critics revisiting
the drama at the MoroSco.
Miss Foster has come into the
cast as q replacement for
Mildred Dunnock, who created
the role.
"At first I resented the dis
cipline of being back in the
theater again." said Miss Fos-
ter. but now that I've adj
justed myself, and Ned has
adjusted his own hours, I'm
thrilled by it all.

or any frame within which
actors are reading lines writ
ten by playwrights, or singing
songs written by composers,
there is theater.
All live and electronic media
require the same talents. All
are providing shows-some Sc
rious, some frivolous. There
are good shows and bad shows
on televiSion, and in the the
alter and the movies. And it
seems to me that the percent
age of good to bad is no
greater in the legitimate the
alter than it is in the cleo
tronic theater.
AS for audience interest, the
legitimate theater in it's hey
day could never have played
to as many people in one sea-
son as TV now plays to in one
night. To satisfy these huge
audiences there Is Of course

Another fallacy of the ne
