Never Sure Until She Tries

NEW YORK; always

That, says Broadway star
Jessica Tandy, is why she
keeps stretching her acting
talents.
The lady is currently
charming show fans with a
sensitive portrayal in Five
Finger Exercise" one of the
seasons choice dramas.
Il felt I must do it because
it was a bit out of my range
"a type of role had never
done before" she declares.
Performers frequently talk
of such variety, but usually
in tones of utter confidence.
Roles Have Varied
I've always been that
way" says the actress. who
has triumphed previously in
the considerable area be-
tween Shakespeare heroine
and contemporary high
comedy.
Miss Tandy was baSking
with her husband, Hume
Cronyn, on their private isle
in the Bahamas when Five
Finger Exercise" was offered.
A hit in London. the play
was being transported to New
York with only one cast
change. Would she take that
part?

could have been very trying
to move in with practiced

and never once said to me

business had previously been

which Miss Tandy felt

After tryout tour expert
mentation, the final dialogue
and performance was evolved
two days before the Broadway
premiere.

that Miss Monroe was not
feeling we'll and could not
report for work.
Even when she is on the
set, her availability for shoot
ing can be a question. Some
times the company doesn't
get the first shot until late
morning or afternoon.
Two sets of actors stand by
for duty. If MN is present,
her scenes are shot. If she is
absent, scenes without her
are made. The trouble is that
the studio is running out of
scenes without her.
This system can be wear
ing on the other actors. Tony
Randall has reported to work
day after day without per-
forming. One day he got a
four-hour nap. On another
day, he did his first scene
at S pm. When the direc-
tor sees the rushes, he says.
How come you haven't got
that old zing, Tony?'' the
actor cracked.

BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

There was considerable
activity in the seats just
behind ours on the opening
night of The Good Soup" at
the National.
The first act was less than
half an hour old before the
first occupants departed, pos
sibly on the theory that one
more play about a prostitute
this season was excessive. Or,
they may even have been
theatergoers who do not like
ANY play about this sort of
professionalism.
The replacement pair who
arrived toward the end of
the intermission, also women,
were apparently in a queru-
lous mood. One Of these had
seen The World of Suzie
Wong" and was thinking
back to what it had to say
OF life in a Hong Kong
brothel. She found it superior
in one respect, we gathered.
to what had gone on in the
first act of The Good Soup"
in which Ruth Gordon re-
miniSced about her life as a
Paris courtesan.

explained to her companion.
at least explained why she
got into the business. She
found it an economic ne
cessity, you see. having to
support a baby daughter.
She also made it clear that
she didn't like it."
She Sheds Radiance
Just then the second act
curtain rose on The Good

that members Of the audi.

Marie Paule's reflections
have their moments of regret.
but these are not the ones
that conventional minds
might expect. She has no
feeling that her choice of ca
reer was a mistake, only that
in certain of its experiences
she made mistakes which cost
her the full riches. Oh, it is
not that she failed to learn
from each relationship but
rather that she did not know
instinctively how TO deal with
it instead Of having TO learn.
Never Loses Control
AS the mind through which
the plays action is running,
Miss Gordon never loses con-
troll Of the stage to the more
animate performers recreat-
ing her memories. The Good
Soup" is her play. Wearing a
red wig. a short, slinky black
dress, and recklessly large
and vivid lip makeup, she is
its vital force.
The voice in which she
keeps command, even in the
more poignant second act
when she lapSes into marriage
and respectability, is irresisti-
BILE. 1t is tight, high, with a
slight raSp and designed to
put just the right edge on all
she has to say Of unconven-
tional life. love and learning
No actress is so complete
ly the mistress Of drollery
and Marie-Paule's memoirs
run heavily to this purpose
in The Good Soup" She
has enjoyed an Animpeded
look not merely at the men
in her life, but at the women
in the lives of her custom
ers. She has used her senses
not merely for profit but to
acquire wisdom which en-
ables her TO Judge human ma
ture with candor and toler-
anCe.
They're All Alike
1t is no fault of Miss Cor
dons that so vivid a per-
Torrance as hers in the
Marceau-Kanin drama leads
to the reflection that one
courtesans life is not really
greatly unlike another's. Ac-
tually, their orbits may be
no more restricted than most
others travelled by those who
must make living.
Nevertheless. the fact re-
mains that playwrights have
been dwelling upon the
prostitutes career almost oh
Sessively of late. 1t is not
to be forgotten by constant
theatergoers that the season
began with "Cheri," moved
on to Suzie Wong, and hit
it's high point dramatically
in that aristocrat Of tht
trade played by Lynn Fon-
tame in The Visit"
This may we'll prove to be
too many variations on a
theme IN a single season.
