@NNe A@eA%@ @%NNN
There was q fragment Of
good news among the welter
Of the other kind last week.
1t went to the effect that
there will be q screen version
Of the musical. West Side
Story"
The announcement quite
settles a speculation that
began amid the excitement
of West Side Story's" open
ing here at the National
Theater last August. There
were many who thought
then that the Leonard Bern
stein-Jerome Robins-Arthur
LaurentS musical was per-
haps too good for movie au-
diences.
This was not as offensive
as it sounded. The impress
sion created by "West Side
Story" was that it was quite
close to being an American
opera. Opera is q fine art.
The movies are a popular
one. Bridging the gap be-
tween them is not easy.
A New Perspective
Time, which alters per-
spective, began to work upon
the one which produced this
judgment.
In the course of its Broad
way run and after the initial
excitement had subsidized,
west Side Story" began to
be judged in a new context.
This was the one intended by
its sponsors which somehow
became obscured by the
artistic prestige of its COM
poser. Mr.. Bernstein.
From the altered viewpoint,
"West Side Story" was seen
as q slice Of life, one that
could not be more contempt
rary in its clash between race
warped adolescent gangs in
New York. Its music sounded
no less distinctive and fresh
for this revised estimate of
West Side Story's" value as
drama.
So. 1t came to be regarded
for what 1t was designed to
be, musical drama. Holly
wood is not greatly expert
enced with this, to be sure.
but neither is Broadway. II
the latter could do "West Side
Story" why not the former?
Why Not, Indeed?
An Affirmative answer is
now provided by a new pro-
ducing group. Seven Arts
Productions. it Is called. 1t
has paid a tidy sum to the
creators Of the musical. with
a percentage to come from
subsequent profits. And, quite
sensibly. it win have Mr.. Rob-
ms who directed the original,
performing The same function
in Hollywood.
Hollywood's concern to
. strike q better and more prof.
liable balance between guam
tity and quality is finding en-
couragement on all sides
these days. One element OF
this is reflected in the cheers
that it manages so frequently
TO improve material pur-
chased from the most reput-
able sources. Time was when
Hollywood's handling of q
play or a popular novel pro-
duced principally only howls
of outrage.
Today. it is patted on the
back for a miracle rework-
ing OF Pierre Bolille's novel,
Bridge on The River Kwai"
which. as q film, makes q de-
served sweep Of prizes.
Shaw Improved
Similarly. 1t waited several
years to get around to Irwin

for its elimination Of several
of the flaws in the original.

something like this:
You get up at $50 am.

she explained. They wash
your hair at $50 in the
morning when you can hard
~ see. You get makeup
slapped on your face and
rush to the set at $3.50 ready
to act. Ready to act? I'm
not even awake!"
So then, she continued,
you are supposed to give a
top level performance of four
pages of dialogue you just
learned the night before and
you aren't sure you know or
understand it. You do it
with an actor you never met
before and you try a rehears-
al complicated by a camera
man saying you can't stand
there because the light won't
hit you.

Then" the star went on,
while they are setting the
lights, you 60 over and sit

You have TO shoot the

are flying overhead, or some
thing else happens. BY the
time you are exhausted, they
call lunch. But you have to
eat with some woman who

column and wants to know
what kind Of cold cream you
use. Then you 60 back to the
set and get photographed

resort and the park are on the

that the director was coming down
to talk things over and make plans
with the residents was greeted with
considerable local enthusiasm. 1t
is felt that the outlook now is
bright for resolving the fears and
distrust expressed recently in the
local press and the island legis-
lature.
To Buy No More Land
Earlier, Laurance S. Rockefel-
Ter, who visited here recently, as
sured residents that he would buy
no more land on St. John. He met

administrator, and Senator Theo-

standings"
But after the meeting, Senator
Moorehead wrote another public
letter. He promised to continue
to work as closely as possible with
the Rockefeller Service"
"All of US know by now" he
added, "that we will have to be
on guard to protect our rights and
save what little remains to us OF
this small island"
In the latest development the
park service announced that Mr..
Wirth would spend as much time
as necessary to discuss plans and
get local ideas Gin an effort to
reach an understanding that will
permit the National Park Service
to move forward with a develop
ment program"

The Senator has led the criti-
cism of Mr.. Rockefeller's efforts
to preserve the unspoiled beauty
of st. John. The Senator wr,re
publicly that these efforts were
threatening the "kick us off the
island entirely"
Mr.. Rockefeller, taken by the
islands primitive allure, sought
to buy as much of it as he could
to save it from being turned into
a honkey-tonk resort for the swell
ling flow of tourists to the Carih-
bean.
He turned over title to more
than 5000 of St. Johns 12,OOG
acres to the National Park Ser
vice, which opened the Virgin Is
lands National Park in August,
1856. The Park has since aquired
other properties and now encom-
passes more than two-thirds of the
island.
Owns Cancel Plantation
Mr.. Rockefeller also bought the
Cancel Bay Plantation and gave it
to Jackson Hole Preserve, Inc, an
endeavor started by his father,
John D. Rockefeller Jr., to con-
serve natural grandeur.
Cancel Bay was reopened to the
public in December, 1856, and has
since come under suspision as be-
ing nothing more than an exclusive
resort. Senator Walter Hodge
struck at both it and the park when
he said: you look carefully at

Moorehead reported afterward that
the meeting had been "long,

some progress, for the Senator
subscribed to a joint statement on
the meetings. points Of agree
ment.

statement noted, "that Mr.. Rock

have withdrawn completely from

of interfering with or attempting
to direct the construction of roads,
