some reason the picture will not
be finished.
Another shocking experience
was Grace Kelly's starring movie,
THE Swan" which was timed
Ito open day-and-date with the
fabulous wedding ceremonies in
Monaco. Though well done and
entertaining. 1.-THE Swan" for
some unaccountable reason, was
one Of the company's most his
ltoric f1ops.
Hollywood was shocked by the
news and so were 10000 harassed
exhibitors across the country
who registered complete be-
wilderment.
The question was quickly
raised: What steps If any will
the theater owners take as a
lrepriSal measure?
In some quarters there already
were hints of a boycott against
the company's current releases.
So, once again. movietown
was torn wide open and a pos
lsible wholesale dispersal of all
pictures more than three years
old to television groups was q
dire prospect.

LOCAL DRAMA
Montgomery
Group Has
Long Record

If members of the Montgomery
Players had boastful moments
they could point to the longest
record of continuous production
among the Washington little
theaters. The group presented
Its first play GA Successful
Calamity") in the fall of 1929
and has staged four major plays
every season since.
Actually, its original impetus
grew out of the One-Act Play
Tournament of 1927. The Fed
Grated Women's Clubs of Mont
gomery County won second place
that spring with 1.-The Duchess
Says Her Prayers" directed by
Mrs. ]. w. Peters with Jane
Plummer Rice in the leading
role. The Newcomb Club fol-
lowed in third place with an
original, 1.-The Failure" directed
! by Barrett Prettyman.
Directors and casts decided
that Montgomery County needed
its own little theater and that
their mission was clear. After
considerable neighborhood work
by the Irving Days, the E. Bar
rett Prettymans and others. the
community enterprise took form
as the Montgomery Players. 1t
now is Incorporated as a mon
profit organization whose object
is to produce and present plays
and to otherwise promote and
advance culture in the commu-
nifty"
Several have graduated from
Montgomery Players ranks to
professional ranks. Louisa Hor-
ton left to go into a role in 1.-The
Voice of the Turtle" on Broad
way. Fred Nickerson left to go
into professional theater on the
West Coast. George Grizzard
went on to Arena Stage, then
into Broadway's THE Desperate
Hours"
| For most members Of the
group, however, acting and per-
forming various production
chores is recreation.
! Two more plays are scheduled
for this season-"The King Of
Hearts" on April 7 and "Candida"
on May 19-both at the Leland
Junior High School in Chevy

If it needed dramatization, v
as the man to do it is F. Cowles
Strickland. His business is drama
which he teaches and directs at
Leland Stanford University, IS
miles to the south at Palo Alto.
No one knows better how to
make exciting use of material,
from the Orestia through
Shakespeare's plays to what ma
ture and man have contrived
here.
Of all the material he has
ever used dramatically, which
includes the direction of more
than 400 plays and as many
name players. Strick is never
happier than when San Fran
cisco is his subject.
At such a time, he is a man
dealing with a true spectacular
whose elements are form and
light and whose impact would
only be diminished by the mere
ness of words.
The Strickland tour of San
Francisco, unprotected by copy
right but safeguarded by the
special genius of its designer, is
an aWeSome experience.
It begins at the Strickland's
front door in Menlo Park, just
across the creek from the north
end of Stanford's campus. 1t
heads westward from there to
the skyline trail that runs north
ward along the Santa Cruz
mountains. This is a two-word
drive, "oh" and "ah." through
dazzling scenery and what surely
must be the country's richest
rural region. Two months hence,
the mountains will look like gil
gantic folds OF brown velvet. To-
day. the landscape is vivid in
a vernal green and splashed with
the scrambled-egg yellow of the
blooming acacia trees.
The temperature is in the low
$685. this mid-afternoon, and the
light is from the south and west
when San Francisco rises like a
Enthusiastically dazzling painting
across the valley. Enchantment
could not be more incredibly
stage-managed to produce such
an impression of the simultane-
ously utterly real and unreal.
However, since the time is
short, it is Strick's idea that no
one should be left dangling long
between earth and Heaven. One
should get the flavor. the his
toric flavor. of San Francisco.
In other words, it is time for the
injection of a spot of comedy re-
lief.
The place for this is Sutro's,
q huge Albert Hall of an edifice
which is a combination museum
and amusement arcade. Nothing
so well sums up the city's ROSTER

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Vote Proves Policies of Indecision
And Timidity Don't Pay Dividends

The suggestion from Wash
ington that we provide all the
arms needed for the first year
seems to leave the German
parliamentaries cool. 1t is an
other solution in line with
what Senator Russell. Demo-
crat Of Georgia. described last
Tuesday to be the sterility Of
ideas and policies on the part
Of the State Department.
Senator Russell may have
erred in ascribing this steril-
ity to the State Department.
He might have been more ac-
curate in laying 1t on the
threshold of the executive.
Those who have followed the
gyrations of our foreign poll
icy since 1853 are aware that
the State Department trio
Secretary Dulles, Undersecre-
tary Herbert Hoover, jr., and
Assistant Secretary Walter
Robertson-are not the Casper
Milquetoasts they sometimes
appear to be. But frequently
when they suggested a policy
more compatible with the
moral and physical strength Of
the United States, they were
overruled by President Eisen-
hover on advice of his in
innate White House COUNSEL
orS.
Thus the policies of "agon-
izjng reappraisal" regarding
France, massive retaliations"
concerning the Far East, espe-
cially at one time Indo-C China,
