Explains Comments
Mr.. Acheson later explained
that his comments had been
directed. specifically at Demo-
cratic Party primaries. He said
he realized he had become in
volved in a power struggle"
and was mot intimidated by
it."
Earl Nash. 62l3 Wagner lane,
Bethesda. made public at the
Free Democrats forum a letter
he had sent to Mr.. Acheson.
The letter expressed dismay at
learning Of Mr.. Acheson's al
lance with a faction of the
party In the county.
Mr.. Nash said he could un-
derstand Mr.. Acheson's inter-
est in the council campaign Of
Charles Horsky, his law asso-
ciate. but said this was differ
ent from q factional alliance.
Fail to Appear
Mr.. Horsky and his caucus
running mates. Mrs. Stella B.
Werner. Stanley B. Frosh and
c. Darwin Stolzenbach failed
to appear at the forum for
council candidates. Mrs. Wer-
ner wrote a letter to Chairman
Edward S. Northrop asserting
they would not attend because
of previous commitments.

appeared TO deny the existence
Of such a pledge and Mrs.

Mrs. Schweinhaut said she
specifically had not been asked
for such a pledge and added

Ing to minimize q head-on fac
tional fight in the party.
Last nights difficulties arose
late in the evening as three
caucus candidates sought to ex-
plain the loyalty pledge which
one described as an issue being
raised by newspapers.
The meeting followed q
cocktail party given for the
caucus candidates by their
treasurer, Dean Acheson. at his
Sandy Spring estate.
Last night saw the following
developments in the factional
struggle for power in the party:
/. Mr.. Acheson's emergence
as a spokesman for the caucus
and a key personality in the
primary battle.
2. Release Of q letter to Mr..
Acheson from a prominent Be-

concern over his being ex-

Mr.. Acheson also had some

their rejection Of the pledge.

The Hacks Are Busy
While Hollywood's hacks
apparently are turning out
such things as 81 Was A

similar horrors. a couple Of
worthy originals have turned
up among California's 1858
picture output.
These, interestingly enough.

ShavelSon and Jack Rose,
who are one Of the most
promising Of the self-con-
tanned units operating In
Hollywood.
Two such studio writing
achievements are not enough
to rehut Mr.. Huston's argu-
ment that Hollywood could
stand more original writing.
Nevertheless, with all that
money it is suddenly making
out of movies derived from
outside sources, Hollywood is
not going to be as discom-
fitted as it probably should be
by its obvious lack of talented
writer's on studio rosters.

"They all wanted a last

said, land you'd be surprised
at the number of older people

BELLE ON WHEELS
Julie Harris: One for the Rood
BY WILLIAM GLOVER
Associated Press Writer

. NEW YORK.-Stage star
Julie Harris is pulling q
switch on Broadway.
She is showing the rest Of
the country her new play first
Broadway must wait exact
" one year. Usually it's the
other way around.
The reverse theatrical ven-
ture is a season-long series
of stands in 19 cities coast to
coast of the drama, THE
Warm Peninsula" by Joseph
Masteroff.
It's a family project. jules
husband, Manning Gurian, q
show business veteran, is the
producer. Their 3-year-old-
son. Peter, will go with them
on the tour.
Gurian says this is why
Julie is setting forth:
I'VE feel that audiences all
over are eager for the stage.
but there is a paradox.
People won't go to see a
show if the New York critics
turn it down. But with a
show of any merit you can
first play for a long time on
the road"
He cites a number of plays
which on brief pre-Broadway
tryout did well, but which
were barred by a lack of
rave reviews from post
Broadway travels.
She Like to Work
Miss Harris adds to the ex-
PLANTATION:
II like to work-any ac-
tress wants to do almost any
part she can. But unless you
are in repertory, you have to
take what you can get on
Broadway"
Besides, she says, she has
grown increasingly enamored
of the old-style touring which
players did before the days
of films and jet planes.
you read about Maude
Adams, Henry Irving and
Edwin Booth-and you be-
gin to say to yourself, we
don't know what it means to
act today.
Now the actor has been
absorbed into society and
gone into the community. He
is no longer isolated-but
sometimes think it was bet
ter the other way.
Anyone who performs for
the public must have a COM
plete dedication, a complete
concentration on what he's
doing. The road is conducive
to that.
Something New
"It takes away from all the
advantages and distractions
of being in one place for a
long time"
The Warm Peninsula" has
been eyed eagerly by Julie for
more than a year. Originally
she had to regretfully bypass
it because of another COM
mitment.
I'VE had a sort Of lost feel
ing when we had to say no,
she says. Matters frightened
when. the other chore dis
patched, the Peninsula"
script was found to be still
available.

BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Editor Of The Star

John Huston. who owns one
of Hollywood's more vigorous
minds and q tongue capable
of acid expression, voiced an
arresting judgment Of the
movies during the past week.
Their makers have lost
creativeness, he said, have
become much too dependent
upon outside material. are
drearily unwilling to gamble
on original screenplayS and
are developing no new writ
ing talent.
Mr.. Huston's observations
are the more startling for the
fact that movie box offices
are humming, studio stocks
are climbing on Wall Street,
and the testers are beginning
to ask: Can TV survive the
movies? After what Holly
wood has been through for
the the last decade. Mr..
Huston's interruption of its
new era of good feeling comes
as a special shock.
He's Got a Point
For all the film-makers'
reasonably based optimism,
there is no diSmissing
Huston's tug at their collec-
tive sleeve.
What he is talking about
is conspicuously evident at
the moment on the Wash
ington scene. The downtown
theaters are Inarvelously
prosperous with long-run-
ming films. Yet, with one nota-
BILE exception, none of these
is a film original.
The longest running of the
local film hits is Bridge on
the River Kwai," based upon
a novel by Pierre Boulle. An
other novel provides the basis
of THE Big Country" now in
its sixth week here. "Cat on
a Hot Tin Roof" the current
box-office champion around
the country, is from Tennes-
see Williams play of the
same name.
The stage also is the source
of Me and the Colonel"
which in its original form
was a Franz Werfel : S. N.
Berhman play called "Jaco-
bowsky and the Colonel" "
Broadway, and before Broad
way, London, saw "The
Matchmaker" several years
before Hollywood could lay
happy hands on the Thron-
ton Wilder script.

parts I've played berore." says
Julie. She has starred in such
varied plays as Il Am a Cam
era" and The Lark"
Being on tour. however,
won't change one detail.
First night anywhere al
ways seems to be the most
difficult performance" she
says. And she has 10 first
nights to face before heading
back to Broadway.

And a Musical


Another certain big money
maker turned UP during the
past week and it could not
fit more snugly into Direc-
tor Huston's argument that
Hollywood is too dependent
upon the pre-sold material.
The film in question is Damn
Yankees" which was a three
year hit on the stage before
it became available to the
many more millions who will
see it in its screen version.
The one original film work
visible on the Washington
downtown scene is "Gigi" now
in its l4th large week. Mr..
Huston could argue that it is
really rather far from q
Hollywood original in that it
was written by two Broad
way operatives. Alan j. Ler-
ner and Frederick Loewe, who
had the brilliant notion the
screen should have an echo
of their MY Fair Lady"
'Gigi," in fact, never had
the slightest connection with
Hollywood, in that it was
shot in France after having
been written in New York.
Even its cast is largely nom
Hollywood although most Of
its members have worked
there at one time or another.
The films that are waiting
to displace these popular pro-
ductions are equally deriva-
tive One Of these is "The
Reluctant Debutante," vastly
improved as a film and
deemed to be a certain hit on
a Nationwide basis. 1t is
taken from a comedy that
Broadway liked only half
heartedly, possibly because it
was not played by Rex Harri-
son and Kay Kendall who
are the stars of the screen
version.
Also on tap is a picture by
Mr.. Huston, himself. This
one does have a touch of orig
inality whose absence Mr..
Huston deplores in most pic
lures. It is called The Gel
sha and the Barbarian" and
is the work Of Charles Cry
son, taken from documents
and letters relating to the life
of Townsend Harris. the
American diplomatic oflcial
