THE PASSING SHOW
Blue Denim Is 7 ense;
Shaw Lark at Keith's
BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

1t is a pleasant thing to hear
a movie audience sharing the
Olympian mirth Of Bernard
Shaw. Movie audiences are
reputed not to be readily UP to
this sort of thing which, of
course. Is a base canard.
It's falsity is being demon
strated at Keith's this week
where Shaw's "The Devils Dis
ciple" is being played by q cast
headed by Sir Laurence Olivier,
Burt Lancaster and Kirk Doug
las, The film Is rather less
than the best production Of the
Shaw jest ever made. In fact,
IL bears many a mark Of the
merely photographed stage play.
Nevertheless. thanks to q clever
adaptation by John Dighton
and Roland Kibbee, the dilu-
ton has not robbed 1t Of too
much of its merry. witty charm.
For those unfamiliar with it,
"The Devils Disciple" is a
comic report on the American
Revolution which Shaw treats
as a coy. intra-family rumpus
instead of a fundamentally his
toric conflict.
He achieves this effect by Gre
ating three splendid characters.
One Of these is a naughty, acid
tongued, handsome British gen.
eral; another. the title charac-
ter. a bouncing rogueish roman
tic and genially SHINING Ameri-
can; and the third. a stalwart
New England pastor who is both
fervidly Christian and agree
ably human.
By adding the pastors at
tractive young wife to the CEN
trail group, Shaw creates q
quadrangle ideally matched to
the situation he has in mind.
This is. in brief, to involve the
wife emotionally with the rogue
thus forcing him into a kind
Of involuntary nobility. to turn
the pastor into a ferocious
freedom fighter. and to let the
gentlemanly general make his
poisonously pleasant comment
on everything and everybody.
The film, made in England,
which is a funny setting for
the American Revolution. is
acted with neat balance. IN
surprisingly. its best perform
ance is that of Sir Laurence as
Gentlemanly Johnny Burgoyne,
a cynically assured general If
there ever was one.
Douglas is agreeable as the
classica1ly roguish Dick Dudg-
con; Lancaster properly stall
wart as Pastor Anthony An
derson, and jeanette Scott q
very fetching heroine.

propriate percentage change in
the general fare level" rather
than through the addition Of a
temporary surcharge Of 81
above present fares, as pro-
posed by the examiner.
Permissive Order Urged
AMERICAN-The examiners
initial decision is "a sound and
far-sighted statement Of the
principles Of airline fare regu-
lation." American will file an
appropriate tariff If the board
adopts the recommendation,
but the CABS order should be
permissive rather than one pre-
Scribing fares.
UNITED-In general agree
ment with the examiner, but
believes he underestimate the
amount of the fare increase re-
quired to achieve a given re-
turn on investment. 1t said q
las per cent fare increase
would be required to provide
the 1915 per cent return an
ticipated by the examiner from
the proposed IL per cent in
crease and q IT'S per cent fare
increase would be required to
provide the IL per cent return
which United considers to be
necessary.
NORTHWEST - Current
fares should be increased 3 per
cent, or the February, 1858,
level should be raised at least
10 per cent, TO provide trunk
airlines with a required 8 per
cent margin Of net profit.
BRANIFF-The examiners
recommendation for a 70 per
cent fare increase should be
adopted, but the fares should
be permitted, not prescribed
and the level of fares should
permit experimentation.
The General Services Ad-
ministration said the proposed
II per cent increase sis not
supported by the evidence and
Is contrary to law"
The agency argued that the
Federal Aviation Act does not
provide for rate regulation Of
airlineS as a group, and that
the examiners findings result
in rates that are "unjustly dis
criminatory and unduly pref
erential."

2. Effective next July /. a
further Ats per cent reduction
be ordered to adjust fares to
a level I per cent above that
prevailing before February,

The bureau thus differed
from the CAB examiners find-
ing, in the general passenger
fare investigation, that domes-
tic passenger fares should be
increased IL per cent above the
level existing before February,
1858.
12% Above Level
The bureau said in its brief
to the board that the fare level
already is IL per cent above
the pre-February, 1858, level.
1t added that the increasing
effect of surcharges now APP
piled to travel on jet planes will
produce a future fare level
more than - per cent above
the prior level.
The bureau based Its recon-
mendation on a fair rate Of re-
turn on investment Of SO pei
cent for the four largest do
nestle airlines and Gas for the
other eight trunk airlines.
Comments Of the various
airlines, in their briefs:
CAPITAL-The CAB should
order an increase of a least
IS per cent over the fares pre-
vailing before February 10
1858. A 90 per cent increase IL
required if Capital is to be
fully compensated for its costs
of providing air transporta'
ton.
TWA-The examiners rec.
commended IL per cent in
crease falls short of the amount
required. Increases should bt
granted ranging from is per
cent to ''the largest percentage
required in order to enable any
individual trunkline air carrier
to provide adequate and eff
cient service under honest, eco
nomical and efiicient manage

local elections scheduled to-

independence, one of the
Congo'S most powerful political
leaders warns he will not recog-

Joseph Kasavubu's Abako
Party is boycotting the elec-
ton. Voters in large cities will
choose communal councils in
this big territory regarded a
half-century ago as the per-
sonal property of the King of
Belgium. Balloting in rural
areas has already begun.
The Abako Party newspaper

ment denouncing Belgian
authority as of December 81,
Copies were seized by the
police, but many had already
circulated in this city, where
Abako strength is concentrated,
