HOLLYWOOD R.--From

clerk to Hollywood star in
two months - that's the
amazing success story Of
Mike Taxa. Q girl who says
she never had . desire to
be an actress"
Imagine" Miika says. six
months ago ! would have
walked across Los Angeles
$50 miles in some places
Just to see Marion Brando.
And now I'm on the screen
making passionate love to
him."
The vehicle for this love-
making Is the film "Sayo-
nara" In which Mike plays
Brando's sweetheart in the
James Kitchener love story.
She had never acted before.
but Brando picked her for
the part.
A frightened Mike told
her parents Of her good for

some Of the others. It in
cludes an awful lot Of my
life. including the sequence
in which I was almost killed
by Chicago gorillas." Joe's
face still bears the scars from
that encounter and he has
never fully recovered his
voice. After the gangsters
worked him over. it was al
most 10 years before he could
work again.
Now almost exclusively o
night club performer, Joe
has appeared on Broadway
in the past. He was seen in
tina Second Little SHOW" and
Right This Way" and The
Lady Comes Across" which
starred the London actress.

This, Too. Did Pass
THAT one did 1t for me-"
he said. THAT one drove
me right back into the
saloons. We opened on q
Friday night and closed on
Saturday. I think there was
just one performance. and
I then decided that I was
better Of In the cellars and

He took q sip Of black cof-

rubbed his eyes.

THE PASSING SHOW
Eggheod Author
Bent on Justice

Of q small New England
college professor who invites
IN accused Communist 70
address his seminar stirs up
quite q dither on the plays
campus.
But MRS. Kazan Is deter
rnlnedly tolerant. an excel
lent thing TO be In life but
perhaps q bit too serene In
q playwright who must set
up conflict II an audience
is to be excited.
THE Egghead" deals with
q group Of people who are
trapped IN an theological
mess. They differ radically
In viewpoint. all the way
from beilicose conservatism
TO puenacious liberalism. On
her part. Mrs. Kazan with
charming detachment, total
" free from any pretense TO
lofty virtue. refuses to take
sides.
Misguided. Not Comic
Her egghead hero. played
BY Karl Maiden. Is wrong.
But his dramatic efect Is
that Of one more bumbIer
fitting at . windmill. He
is not. however; . comic fig-
ure. Although mrs. Kazan
lets his absurdity show IT,
self occasionally. she grants
him the respect that Is his
viewpoints due. He Is q
freedom fighter and that he
happens TO be quite mis-
guided In this particular in
stance. she Is an admirer in
the essential goodness OF his
impulse.
The author Of "The Egg
head" Is equally solicitous
for the nearest thing to q
villain In her play. This Is
an intelligent Negro who
ruthlessly uses the affection
and friendship given him by
the Egghead for Communist
purposes with never q
thought for the consequences
TO his victim and the latter'S
family.
Because she Is 90 un-
equivocally judicial In her
writing. Mrs. Kazan gives
this character Q big, climactic
speech In which he cannot
fail TO move the audience to
sympathy. There Is every
thing morally right with this
attitude Of seeing the reasons
for the behaviors Of every
one. whatever Il may be.
Dramatically. well, that 4
something else again.
Justice Shines Through
There Is much that Is en-
joyahle In The Egehead"
and most Of it is to be at
tributed to Mrs. Kazan's
sense. Of justice. . rare and
precious gift in . time Of
questioning the decisions Of
what is labeled supreme jus
tice.
Out Of this virtue in her
self. she has written q
thoughtful and thought-pro-
voking play.
It's overall appeal Is such
that one can hope for q sus-
pension Of the rules requir-
ing sharp conflict In the case
Of The Egghead," which will
reach Broadway this week.
The unique Is rare enough
in the theater that play
wrights with Mrs. Kazan's
spirit deserve encouragement.

II would seem . reason-

There is nothing bitter in
Mrs. Kazan's retaliation.
Her clear-eyed look ct the

Mrs. Kasan's tolerance Is
something Of an astonishing

passionate partisanship and
explosive hatreds. Il makes
her appearance in playwrit-
