NEW YORK.-How does
an actress find a standout
role?
Luck, lunches and persist
ence usually share the credit.
But there was something else
for Maureen Stapleton this
Broadway season.
Other people changed her
mind.
Miss Stapleton is starring
in the Lillian Hellman drama
Toys in the Attic" Her
touching and glowing por-
trayal ranks high in critical
appraisal of the current
theSpic crop.
Faces Told Story
"When I first saw the script
there was another part in it
that I wanted" Miss Staple
ton reports. "A long silence
followed when I told them
that. A few weeks later there
was an addition, and they
let me do a reading.
What changed my mind
was the expression on every
body's face when I got fin
ished."
Abandoning her dreams of
that part a sleek but phil
osophic widow-Miss Staple
ton tackled instead the role
of a soft, round spinister in
the play which concerns
family crisis in a small South
ern town.

round and possessed Of
amazing facial sensltlvity,

1t was a desultory season
on which the New York
drama critics looked back last
week in the process of select
ing "bests" in three claSSifica-
tionS of so-called living
theater.
Yet in contrast to the one
which Washington audiences
and reviewers endured at the
National Theater here, Broad
ways season was brilliant.
Were the Washington critics
constituted as a Circle" "
which they are not. they
would have found it less than
respectable if not impossible
to have chosen either a best
American play, or a musical,
from the Nationals list.
There was no musical on
the Nationals schedule, the
seasons collection of new
ones having chosen to take
the northern route, to Boston
or Philadelphia and thence
back to New York. Washing

our town.
West Preferred
"a Thurber Carnival" sad
to note, journed westward to
Detroit, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh, all unchallengably
centers of culture but no
more so than this world
capital.
AS for best plays, the only
respectable candidates for
this honor were both foreign.
One of these was Peter Shat
fer's Five Finger Exercise" "
an English import which was
chosen by the New York
Critics Circle as the best of
its kind last Tuesday. But for
all the brilliance of its style
in writing and performance,
at least one Washington
critic would not have chosen
Five Finger Exercise" as
even the best foreign play of
the Nationals season.
Instead, his selection would
have been Friedrich Duerren-
mats THE Visit" which
restated the Lunts' magnifl-
cence with an incompatible
eloquence. Neither the play

thing pleasant to say about
the human species but mem

of any rational list of sea-
