At midpoint in its year the
theater is pretty happy with
itself.
It has no real estate for
rent. always a happy thing for
landlords if not for producers
looking for theaters. more
actors and directors are en-
ployed than is usual, and
theatergoers have more places
to go than in most Januarys.
These are things with which
to be pleased. but most pleas
ant of all is the passing Of that
tired and tiresome cliche: But
where are the new playwrights
and where are they coming
from?
The new dramatists are
here and they have come from
virtually everywhere. ranging
from television-a logical
source-to home. in a Scran-
ton, Pa, suburb which Is less
logical but even more delight

HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 7
(NANA) The entry box has
closed. Time now to rig for
the Big Show. Excitement
mounts daily throughout the
film capital. 1t will continue to
do so until that feverish eve
ming in March when the
closely guarded envelopes are
slit open and the winners dis
closed before some so million
TV gaZers.
Up come the Motion Picture
Academy awards once again
and this time it's the 28th set.
A dozen fan magazines and
trade papers, even a new
tangled national theater au-
dience poll. have had their
separate filings at handing out
the "bests" for 1855 - but
somehow the lustre OF. old
Oscar never din1S. He seems,
in fact, to grow brighter and
more important with age.

ones permitted to ballot on

is mighty dangerous business
but still a lot of fun--so here

Oscar:
Marty" of Course

out Of mind" fits into the
Academy voting scheme, too
this modest $3.50, 900 budgeted
human interest movie with it's
old-style narrow screen and
black and white images still is
discussed with more reverence.
If not so much awe. than a
dozen "stupendous" offerings
to follow. Had it not been for
Marty this contest might
have developed into one of the
ding -dongdest affairs in Oscar
history, for among the other
contenders are I'm Cry To-

outstanding roles from the

Two new playwrights,

bitten the dust. one more be-
cause of the pressing demand
for theater space than by vir-
tue of defects IN her play.
This was Edith Sommer whose
"A Roomful of Roses" which

cessful run.
The other of this pair was
an outright casualty. He is
