Once Defeated
In 1853 a proposal to build a
municipal water system by q
combination of mortgage revenue
bonds and property assessments
fell through. A lack of soft
water under that program and a
general opposition to taxation
killed 1t.
Soft water is included in the
program now being studied
However, the taxation problem
which the council hoped to avoid
has been raised again by the
recommendation of the bonding

its forbidding title, it was
one of the comedy hits of the

"TeahouSe" was the movie
that discovered the Ford
comedy talent. AS one of it's
makers recalls:
"On the stage the part of
the Okinawan narrator had
most of the comedy. The
movie script, on paper, had

explained, II didn't begin by

Accidentally an Actress
Insisting she never set out

said that her career actually
was provoked by an absentee

George Sanders went abroad
on a moviemaking junket, a
lonesome Zsa ZSa accepted a
guest role on a local TV panel
show. Her quick humor and
sharp comments - some
bringing the station into deep
FEC trouble-resulted in
movie tests and offers. Her
career thus was under way
quite by accident.
But it lost me two loves"
she admitted sadly, first
George Sanders, then later
Porifirio Rubirosa. And. of
course, it has made it so
ditncult to find a new hus-

could love would have to
make more money than I.
I could not love a man who
didn't feel strongly that he
must be the breadwinner.

Rodgers has rarely been so
inspired, certainly not re-
Gently.
Score Is Varied
He responds with music
that is not only impresSively
varied but that is also some
times beyond the words Of
Mr.. HammerStein's lyrics. AS,
to be petty about it, when
Patricia Neway as the abbess
with the mystical heart and
the glorious voice sings out
Follow the rainbow to the
end Of your dream"
AS the love story of a
would-be nun and an aristo-
cratic, harrassed Austrian, a
wild flower growth climbing
over a convent wall, THE
Sound of Music" has its
novelty in today's true-life
theater.
ParadoXically, it is this
that gives it its old-fashioned
lit which is further intensi-
fed by the extravaganza of
its production. 1t does its
singing in such an unusual
setting as the stained-glass
coolness of the abbey's chapel
and such a usual one as an
Austrian CASTILLO garden. The
change from one to another
OF these is handled with an
impressive ease, although not
quite as impreSsively or easily
as Mr.. Rodgers shifts from
one musical mood to another.
Mary in Her Element
To the critical eye, the
effect of this is to suggest
that the story by the Messrs.
Lindsay and Grouse is being
outproduced. Not to the COM
pany. however.
Miss Martin is in her ele-
ment, a girl with a sprightly
heart sin ging scales. of
dreams. edelweiSs, sun on the
mountain, lonely goatherds,
growing up, etc. If her ra-
dance is sometimes dimi-
nlShed by coyness, this is still
in keeping with the charac-
ter of Maria, a girl whose
religious mysticism was a bit
too vulnerable to the tempta-
tions of the world.
AS her politically tormented
husband, Theodore Bickel is
an altogether engaging figure,
noble enough indeed to defer
to Miss Neway, the abbess. as
the second character in 1.-THE
Sound of Music" Miss Neway
is grandeur itself so far as
her material allows.
Attractively human in their
dimensions are Kurt Kaznar
as an opportunist Austrian
Snowman, Marion Marlowe as
his feminine counterpart, and
the youngsters who constitute
the Won Trapp flock.
Beyond a doubt, they all
will be long time tenants of
the flexible, elaborate. and
varied architecture which
Oliver Smith has designed

A BROADWAY SUCCESS HEADS OUR WAY
Ford Figured Everybody Likes
A Laugh, So He Turnedto Comedy

every rule of comedy was up
held. 1t was the highlight
of the picture, I thought
and my big regret was that
it was the one scene in which
I didn't appear once. So you
see, I can't take too much
credit"
Although he's Hollywood's
biggest box -office attraction
Ford is far from being the
biggest personal moneymaker.
In the days of big percentage
deals and capital gains COR
porations among movie stars,
Ford is still a rarity-a con-
tract player. He draws a
weekly paycheck of around
$4,000 but he's in the United
States Governments 80 per
cent tax bracket. That means
he can only keep 10 per cent
of what he earns.
Ford prefers to work un-
der contract rather than
free lance because of the
steady paycheck and a be-
lief studio backing insures
quality in his pictures.
No Embarrassment
Without a contract with
any one studio, Brando can
demand a million dollars
against 10 per cent of the
gross as his price to perform.
Brando is fourth in the box
Office standings. Liz Taylor,
with whom Ford is slated to
co-Star in Two for the See
saw" also has the same deal.
She is second to Ford in box
ofhce standing.
If and when he does See
saw" Ford will have COM
pleted two pictures with
Debbie Reynolds, another
third of the famed Taylor
Fisher-Reynolds triangle.
Glenn says he finds no
embarrassment working with
either girl.
IF an actor had to worry
about working with wives
and eX-wives in this busi-
ness he'd be in a constant
sweat. Besides I have my
own problems"
That last remark is about
all Glenn has to say about
the breakup OF his marriage
to Eleanor Powell.
Eleanor's divorce suit, filed
last May and granted last
week, stunned Hollywood and
much of the movie world.
Her 16-year-old marriage to
Ford had been considered one
of Hollywood's happiest.
utterly Ridiculous"
Unlike most Hollywood
split ups, the columnists
cannot agree on what caused
this one. Several noted the
coincidence of Ford co-star-
ring in 1T Started With a
Kiss" with Debbie Reynolds.
The picture shot for six
weeks in Spain. Debbie, no
stranger to the divorce and
triangle headlines. went to
Europe as the suffering wife
whose husband had been
lured by one of the worlds
most beautiful women.
When the troupe returned
to Hollywood Debbie came
back her own happy clown
ing self. Ford came back to q
surprise divorce suit filed by
his wife.
Such timing was sure to be
noticed by the columnists in
their speculations. Ford an
grily denied the insinuations
and called the reports ut

If the creators of the Won

Critics Right, Too
For all its critics, who
themselves are quite right in
noting the absence of the
ultimately exultant in 1.-The

yond argument the most
opulent hit of the still rea-
sonably new Broadway sea-
son.
Miss Martin-the girl ev-

door-f1ndS an engaging her
oine in Maria Won Trapp,
quite as she did in South
Paciflc's" Nellie Forbush.
What she fails to find is not
disastrous, namely a director
OF Moss Hart'S sophisticated
but warm reserve to keep
Miss Martin from making
Maria occasionally too coy.
This is a plant, too, to be
made against Vincent j. Dom
ehue's seven little Won

real and stage children, the
addiction Of these to cuteneSs

and those who wish they

all parents have said at one
time or another.
OF the dazzling names con-

Composer Rodgers and Miss
Martin.
Songs on the Wind
They recreate her as a
radiant-hearted postulant in
an Austrian abbey, yet one
whose call to religion is neg
ligible as compared to her
call to life. Maria grew up in
the sun on an Austrian noun
tainside, hearing songs in the
wind and seeing dances in
the waving edelweiss. The
music fingers in her ears and
heart as she goes about her
humble chores in the abbey
and she cannot help hur1-
ming along with it.
Thanks to the perception
Of the abbesS, this bounce
lands her in the outside world
where she becomes governeSs
to the seven motherleSs Won
Trapp children. And assumes
the incidental role of thorn
in the flesh Of troubled, griev-
ing Capt. Won Trapp, sorrow
ing for his dead wife, agonized
by the prospect of Hitler's
theological capture of Austria.
Dealing with such a girl in
this situation, Mr.. Rodgers is
instantly alive to its musical
invitation. 1t gives him op-
portunity to write songs rang
ing from vocal exercises, for
Maria and the children, to
the religiously exalted, for
the abbess and the abbey's
choir. Understandably, Mr..
