SAN FRANCISCO-n any
young woman who sees this
colum is now debating a
choice of careers in the job
world. I suggest she consider
the broad field Of banking
and If you're the parent Of this
young lady. I urge you to read
on too.
For q woman's chance of ad-
vancement to the top levels in
banking are getting steadily
better.
The prejudices against
women In positions of authority
in hanks-just because they are
women in a field traditionally
dominated by men-have been
breaking down every. year.
From coast to coast. men ex-
ecutives in banks are finding it
increasingly difhcult to block
the climb Of a woman who de-
serves to advance in position
and authority as well as pay.
And q key reason the barriers
must 60 down is that already
so many Of our sex work in
banks. Right now. women held
go to IS per cent of all the jobs
in banks and the trend is still
upward.
Move to Reach Top
In coming years, more and
more women who want to reach
the top will reach it.
Who is my authority for these
statements? Mrs. Claire Gian-
mini Hoffman. daughter Of the
late A. P. Giannini, founder in
1904 Of what is now the worlds
largest bank, The Bank Of
America.
During my stay in this finan-
cial heart Of the west, / called
on Mrs. Hoffman because she
is a powerful member Of the
Bank Of Americas board of di-
rectors and Of its executive
committee. and because since
she took over her fathers seat
on the banks board eight years
ago. she has staked out en-
ploye relations as her special
interest ip this $40 billion in
stitution.
And as a woman. she has set
as a particular goal. improving
the welfare and position of the
banks l4.700 women employees.
Inc Bank OF America now
has 1872 women officers re-
spectacle chunk Of the 10000
women who are officers In
banks the nation over.
"Still. our bank doesn't have
enough women oficers.'" said
Mrs. Hoffman as we checked
the figures. mo woman holds q
position as high as full vice
president and we have So men
at that rank. Women hold two
thirds Of the jobs in our bank:
we have over 3.400 officers.
There's no reason we shouldn't
have q lot more women bank
ofacers-except a mans reluc-
lance to advance a woman to q
higher position"

Of several. let 1t be said. he is
singularly successful.
There is the King, for one.
The King is q broken-down
clown, reduced to begging and
haunted by the memory Of h'g
once naughty treatment Of beg
gars. In the whole gallery of
Saroyan characters. he becomes
one Of the least forgettable in
the scene in which he describes
the last failure Of his life, his
inability to move the workmen
gang waiting to demolish the
"cave."
And the Duke, q one-time

his title in fear of killing his
opponent, but who rises here
to losing the Girl he loves with
the true ducal grace.

scenes like no one else in his
business has others equally

elderly actress warmed by her
memories; for the speechless
Boy, who counts his milk bot
ties well stolen if the Girl is
nourished by their contents.

at Olney, a center Of dramatic
art which has always been pro-
Saroyan, and rather persua-
,sively.
The latter is the case again
in "The Cave Dwellers" pro-
duction directed by Brennan
Moore and acted by a cast
headed by j. Robert Dietz,
Dana Elcar, Eleanor Phelps
and Rochelle Oliver. The spirit
of these is one of counting the
world well lost for a chance
to probe the mystery Of human
folly with Saroyan.
\ \ + +
THE Cave Dwellers" is Mr..
Saroyan at the top Of his
form. He is writing about
love and it is not to be dis
puted that he has caught it
from an arresting angle.
Certainly the humans he
pictures in 1.-THE Cave Dwell
lers" are among the most
wonderfully absurd ever as
sembled on a stage, even by
Saroyan standards. SYMBOL
cally, they represent Everyman,
Everywoman4 Everygirl. Every
boy and even Everybear. Don't
laugh at the idea of a character
representing Everybear. He
could easily turn into your
favorite creature on Olney's
stage during the next two weeks.
In themselves, the people Of
the play are a pitiable collec-
ton of starving humans (and
one bear) huddled together in
the stage area of an old theater
about to be torn down. They
have only the food they can
beg, their clothes are in tatters,
and the only warmth they can
create is that of love.
This, reinforced by the mem
cries of the older ones and the
dreams of the youngsters. they
weave into a kind of wonderful
adventure in survival, the de-
tails of which no man in his
right mind would attempt 10
synopsize.

Mr.. Saroyan is deadly deter
mined that these cave dwellers

pointedly, 1t could be that the
way the rest Of the world is
going. Mr.. Saroyan is beginning
to look enchantingly sane, a
misunderstood Pied Piper who
has been ready all these years
to lead US to Utopia.
True or false, Mr.. Saroyan is
still in there trying desperately

us shall see the light. His light.
naturally.
Accordingly, he has written
wonderfully like william Saro-
yam in "The Cave Dwellers, I"
a sweet, sentimental, touching,
comic, ragged parable. In New
York last autumn, it divided
the critics and populace almost
exactly down the middle. 1t
should have the same effect

rather less flattering to his
writing reserve.
Director Moore and his ac-
tors share Saroyan's inspira-
ton. Among the latter this is
especially true Of Mr.. Dietz as
the King; Mr.. Elcar as the
Duke; Eleanor Phelps as the
Queen with so many memories;
and Miss Oliver as the girl
whose radiance brightens and
