I held a high family council.
And reasoned thus: To our
two boys the forthcoming
Christmas celebrations had
acquired a great meaning.
Was it fair to deprive them
of the joys of participation?
Secondly, from the view
point of our own faith and
culture, everything sided with
the boys. AS MoSlems, we
respect and revere Jesus
Christ as a great prophet.
Belief in the Biblical prophets
that preceded Mohammed
is an article of faith for the
MoslemS. Moslems call Jesus
the Spirit Of God; they be-
lieve in the Virgin Birth.
Koran, the MoSlem Holy
Book, has a whole chapter on
Virgin Mary. We believe
her to be the first woman to
enter paradise. Islam as a
faith is considered to be, by
MoSlems, a continuation of
Christianity.
The family council adopted
the resolution unanimously:
We will celebrate Christmas.
The next day we told our
boys so, and their Joy knew
no bound.
And then began our diff
f1cultieS. We did not know
what to do, what to buy, how
to set a tree and much less
about how to decorate it. Let
us ask the neighbor, we de-
cided.
A Sea of Trees
I shall never forget that
chilly morning of December
%, 1851, when I gathered
enough courage to call on our
neighbor, the parents Of
Patrick and Michael. Twice
did I approach their door and
each time I felt too weak to
ring the bell. On the third
attempt I shut my eyes and
pressed the bell. A tall, beau
tiful lady opened the door,
and with infinite kindness
invited me to her home. Re-
aliZing how bashful 1 was,
she simply took my hand and
I had to follow her in. She
apologized for not calling
upon us, and then praised my
children-the Surest way to
a Woman's heart. In not very
idiomatic English I told her
of my difficulties. Half an
hour later we were in a sea
of beautiful yule trees. I
bought one. And then she
guided me to a store to buy
the lights and decorations.
She added grace to generosity
and showed me how to do the
job professionally. And still
more, she came to my home
that evening with three boxes,
Christmas presents. and after
putting touches to our tree,
placed them under the tree,
our first Christmas gifts. She
had brought Patrick and
Michael with her, and they
and my boys had a wonder
full time playing and jumping.
out of sheer delight.
Eight years nave passed,
and today we know much
more than what I'VE did then
about American customs and
holidays. but that eve

She has been our Santa Claus
ever since. She opened be-
fore our eyes a new vista OF
Joy for children of all ages.

thigh is a long surgical pin.

I might as well make my

Just the other day, he was

Later Hingle will graduate

A man who makes up his
mind and refuses to change
1t can hardly be described as

a writer who is not growing

five years. He has just sub

television play. Later it be-

way play, opening in Febru-

Robinson and Gena Row.
lands.
People Were Natural
The television drama was
done when Chayefsky was
making a name for himself
land he could have made one
easier to type while he was
about it, in the medium. He
was being praised for his re-
porting skill and uncanny
ear. His slice-of life dramas
concerned ordinary people
who behaved and talked so
naturally you got the feeling
you were an eavesdropper.
On television, Middle Of
the Night" was done by Eva
Marie Saint. She played an
immature girl who was be-
friended by her employer,
fell in love with him and de-
cided to divorce her husband
and marry the older man.
He, aware of the large age
gap, was reluctant, but she
was sure of her love and
made him see things her
way.
Expanded for the stage
version, Middle of the
Night" tells the same story
from much the same point of
view. Edward G. RobinSon's
star status may have shifted
the emphasis somewhat. but
the play still deals in the
love of an older man for a
young girl and her love for
him.
She's Pleading
In the play, the widowed
garment manufacturer has
serious misgivings about
marriage. AS early as act 2,
scene 2, the girl is saying. II
love you Jerry, from the bot
tom of my heart" and. II
want to marry you, Jerry"
I'm afraid to-" he Gays,
"I'm afraid I had a new
life with you. I didn't want
to think about marriage. I'm
afraid Of such a marriage.
I'm afraid of myself. At my
age, you become afraid Of
things. You begin to be con-

asks another question, What

He says again, you never

Film Is Different
The movie directed by Del
bert Mann, with Fredric
March superbly playing the
man and Kim Novak sur
prisingly good as the girl, Is
something else. You won't
find the scene above in the
film because Mr.. Chayefsky
obviously had some further
thoughts on the matter be-
tween TV play and SCREEN
play.
The plot is still essentially
the Same-a man well-paSt

two are not the same. how
ever. as the man and girl Of
the stage version. It is not
because Mr.. March is q
forceful actor and Miss
Novak something of q tenta-
tive actress, either. She is
good. all right. but he is the
dominating, the commanding
one in every scene.
The switch in emphasis
came out of the Chayefsky
typewriter. Here the girl is
the reluctant one, confused
and unable to make up her
mind whether or not she is
in love. Instead of the scene
above, there Is a scene in the
movie in which the man takes
the girl to dinner. then begs,
pleads with her to marry him.
She doesn't know.
They Are Valid
So it goes right to the end.
He has resolved his doubts
about the matter of age. She
retains doubts, about that
and almost anything else,
including herself.
This does not matter much,
OF course. The man and girl
in the movie are as valid as
those in the play. But those
in the play are equally life
like.
Why Mr.. Chayefsky saw
fit to change them is his own
secret. 1t is fairly obvious,
however. that he did not
reach an ultimate solution to
the problems of these two
people when he wrote the
original Middle of the Night"
for television. He has been
thinking about them ever
since and seems to have
changed his mind in public.
Or, maybe a mans thoughts
on May-September romance
begin to change when he
hears the first faint strains
of September Song" off there
on the horizon.

Terry Moore on MARRIAGE
By SHEMAH GRAHAM

ENoA IA Au1eIiCau NeWepapcE AuiduC0
HOLLYWOOD.-"Then next
time I get married, I will re-
tire as an actress unless my
career absolutely does not in
terfere with the marriage"
Terry Moore told me a few
weeks before her sudden
marriage to Stuart Cramer
III. Terry, a two-time loser,
is philosophical about the
demise of her three-year
hitch as Mrs. Eugene Nc
Grath. Before that she was
Mrs, Glenn West Point foot
ball starr Davis.
I'm over Gene now" she
told me on the set of her
latest starring picture, "a
Private's Affair" II really
thought it would last. My
work in Hollywood kept us
apart, ard I blame this a
great deal for our break up.
Gene wanted me to continue
with my career. I didn't
want to, but he obviously likes
career girls"
Terry obviously meant that
Gene. soon after their di-
vorce April /. secretly mar
rled Singer-Actress Connie
Towers II had a bunch
they were married when she
skipped a day of rehearsing
for our number for the Oscar
show. I told a friend. III
bet you he's married and I
know when he'll announce
it. ," The marriage was an
nounced just as the publicity
started on Comics picture
with John Wayne and Will
liam Holden, 1.-THE Horse
Soldiers. II wish them both
happiness" said Terry.
But She's Not Bitter
How about all those pres
ents Gene gave you-the
yachts, race horses. houses,
etc?" I asked. Terry smiled.
II kept the engagement ring,
and a few little pieces, but
they are nothing like Eliza
beth Taylor's jewelry for
instance" I gathered that
Mr.. McGrath is not as
wealthy as Terry or the public
had been led to believe. But
don't get Terry wrong-she
is neither bitter nor soured
on matrimony.
I'm still optimistic about
marriage" she assured me.
I'm the marrying kind. And
I believe that my new mar
riage will last. When you
marry in this business, you
have two egos to satisfy.
These girls without a career
take a lot. When an actress
who is used to idolatry gives
it all up for a man, she must
dig her nails in and say,
This is it, If she still has
her career, she won't take
as much and that's why it's
better to give 1t up"
