His TV PIuy
In A Haze
BY BOB CREAM
(TV Critic for the Washington
Catholic Standard

(TV Critic for the Washington
Catholic Standard
Wednesday night I watched
a play on the Kraft Television
Theater. This play was called
Anna Santonello", see? 1t was
about an Italian-American girl
whose brothers are pretty rough
customers. 1t was written by a
fellow name of Bob Cream. And
when this guy has another play
on televiSion, you will find ME
in the endorsement.
Did I hear someone (my wife
maybeO call Author? Well, as
television critic for the Stand
ard, weekly newspaper for the
Archdiocese of Washington, it's
long been my contention that
IplaywrightS should write more
and talk less. After Anna San

/ What can the playwright say
about Anna? A group of very
talented and drama-wise peo-

Together, these people die
their best for Anna Santonello.
1t went on-for good or bad. Sc
what has the author to say? He
can only make one small OBJ
lection to the voices which tel
us that televiSion, with it's CON-
mercial crassness, is restricting
our playwrights.
AS for playing the role of critic
concerning Anna Santonello"-
I'll step aside. thank you. You
can't review play unless you
have seen it. And when Anna
played out it's hour in our living
room, it fled across the screen
through haze. Here the back
ground music was too loud;
there the actors voices were
smashed by backstage clatter.
The play? Where'd it go?

vived the judgment of the pub
Ilic-the people you write plays
for. do know that Eileen Heck
art in the title role gave one of
the most luminous performances
in her remarkably brilliant ca
reer. I know that James Gregory
worked masterfully as Kelly,
making the role seem deceptively
simple; that Annals brothers
leaped live from the pages of the
script.
AS for the play-with all
apologies to my brother critics
you'll have to ask the guy who
hangs out in the Crescent Moon
Cafe, the housewife over her
first morning coffee break, and
the Italian who owns the grocery.
When you find out what they
thought, let me know.

Few scenes in any Tv plays
I've seen lately carried the

like a collision. Annals chat

and brilliant piece of writing.
