Hit Was
A Labor
Love
by WILLIAM GLOVER

NEW YORK To- Ketti
Fringa Broadway's sudden
writing sensation. is q woman
who believes in "hope and In
tuition" for getting places.
"There comes a time Of
creativity when you are able
TO move" she says.
Mrs. Frings. a tousle- haired
author and mother who radi-
atss vitality. has provided
one Of the major theatrical
trtumphs Of the season,
Look Homeward. Angel"
The play. q powerful
achievement according to the
critics. is adapted from
Thomas Wolfe's sprawling
novel Of the same name. The
Barrymore Theater produce
ton stars Tony Perkins.
Her Own Idea
The project was strictly
Mrs. Frings' own idea, and
her project had her deeply
engrossed before she paused
to obtain dram atization
rights from the estate Of
Wolfe. who died in 1898. For
. year she put virtually
everything else aside to con-
centrate on the composition.
II hope now they'll be able
to understand what's been
bothering me-" she says Of
her two children. the eldest
. lad Of II.
Her husband. Kurt Frings,
Q Hollywood actors agent.
"dguratively gave me the
solid silver typewriter that
he once promised me. when
he said / should go ahead
with this writing" she says.
Mrs. Frings. born Katha-
rine Hartley in Columbus.
Ohio. became fascinated
with Wolfe about 10 years
ago, "He was a playwright
who didn't know how to con-
troll himself" she contends.
Theatrical Characters
His characters are tre-
mendously theatrical in the
sense OF depth and percep-
ton. More than that he
seemed to know so deeply
what his characters we're
feeling-a great help TO me"
Her own different skill be-
came a key asset.
Wolfe had tremendous re-
call Of so much Of his life"
she explains. 1T is differ
ent with me. I can only
remember what / must. so I
wasn't bothered with the
clutter OF other details"
Mrs. Frings concentrated
on the phase Of the autohi-
ographical novel concerned
with Wolfe at age II. She
never found it necessary to
change her initial plot plan.
Parts Of the dialogue she
was able to transfer from the
novel. but for much Of the
balance, including the CEN
tral characters. she had to
"grope deepE" within the
narrative. She also spent con-
siderable time In Wolfe's
Asheville. N. c.. surroundings.
A Happy Work
This was a happy work"
she says Of production.
Mrs. Frings is no new
conner to drama writing. al
though her only previous
Broadway offering. Mr..
Sycamore" had a short life
in i942.
Since then she has written
several novels and many
scenarios for the screen. in
cluding Come Back. Little

Stocks Decline

In Slow TRADING

NEW YORK, Feb. R.-
Stock market prices declined
sluggishly early this afternoon.
Leading issues were off from
fractions to around 2 points.
The market was mixed at the
opening but the lower trend
gradually asserted itself. Turn
over slackened from yesterdays
pace.
Cuts in copper prices both in
the United States and abroad de-
pressed quotations for stocks Of
this industry. In addition, some
uncertainty concerning the i'm
plications Of Bethlehem Steel's
dividend action after yesterdays
close was apparent. The usual
caution by traders
was another factor in the mar
ket.
Steels as a group were under
mild selling pressure. Most lead
ing oils. aircrafts. nonferrous
metals and oils showed losses.
Some corporate news develop
mentS were interpreted unfavor-
ably.

40 cents to $176.20 with the in
dustrials of 80 cents, the rails

February May Give Clue
ToBusiness Uncertainties

lust told Congress that a few
small gains here and there
should pull the economy as q
whole a little higher this year.
Some Of them put their faith
in increased spending this year
by the Federal, State and local
governments to Offset the level
ling off of private spending. How
the taxpayers will feel about
that isn't being stressed.
February could furnish a clue
to the big factor: consumer
spending. Merchants did pretty
well with their clearance sales in
January. In February consumer
spending will be on a more nor
NAL basis.
Also to be watched this month

will have. Applications this
