the petty fury of Englano'S S

dramatists. AS the Lunts in
terpret it, it argues life as
pure hell. pitilesS and beyond

Nightly Bedlam
The total accuracy of this
is naturally debatable but
the effect of the Lunts' per-
formance is to produce a
nightly bedlam of concur
renee on the part of capacity
audiences. 1t is wonderful to
have them back demolishing

Duerrenmatt's savage indict-

be more simple and innocent
in appearance. 1t is a town
in Europe, one that speaks
with a German accent, and
has attained a surface of
neighborllness through eco
nomic blight.
Duerrenmatt's parable Of
the town of Cullen takes off
from the railroad station
platform. Here the mayor,
the lesser leaders, and the
town loaferS await the COM

But one injustice is not to be

not until the Gullenites real

THE PASSING SHOW
The Lunts Finally Find

Two wrongs may not make

gripping play for the Lunts

Friedrich Duerrenmatt novel,
is the sort for which the
critical cliche Is mot to be

HOLLYWOOD. - One Of
the screens finest farceuYs is
making his first movie in IL
years.
Charlie Ruggles, not the
least bit bitter about his long
absence from the screen, ex-
plains:
II just got too busy in tele-
vision and the stage"
But that's not the real
reason. And the real reason
may help to explain why
modern movie come edies
aren't as good as those pre-
war farces you see on tele-
vision.
Master Scene-Stealer
In the thirties, the studios
controlled the movies. And
comedies were always loaded
with masters like Ruggles,
Jack Oakie, Frank McHugh
and the late Frank Morgan.
More often than not a fan
came away from a picture re-
membering Ruggles or Oakie
more than the listed stars of
the picture. The comedians
were masters of scene-steal-
ing, too.
After the war came the
big Hollywood revolution
where the big stars got
script, director and cast con-
troll. It's a short-sighted at
titude, but few big stars
want a Ruggles in a scene
with them. They can't help
but come of second best.
They Last Longest
"The few stars who do
surround themselves with
good people," says Ruggles,
"are the ones who last the
longest. Look at Bing Cros-
by. And Jack Benny on tele-
vision. He's been big for
years because he lets the
gags bounce off him.
THE comics who want all
the laughs for themselves
are the ones whose careers
are short-lived."

trying to make it up for me.
I'm 26 and never married.
That's because I look at the
marriages of the people
around me, and it seems so
hard to make it last. When I
marry it must last, because
of my religion. Remember

the play projects as the world
in microcoSm.
The LuntS, Director Peter
Brook and a large, fervent
cast see to it that the duel
is tumultououSly theatrical.
1t is dominated, stunningly
every step of the way, by the
LuntS. Miss Fontanne is
coolly magnificent, no less,
as the once innocent. lovely,
lively girl who was exiled into
evil and has come back to test
its contagion on her cruel
judges. She plays Claire with
a fascinating, fiendish exacti-
tude that can only have been
precisely what Duerrenmatt
had in mind.
Yet hers is a less searching
role than that of Mr.. Lunt
as the shopkeeper confronted
by a long-dead guilt and
agonizingly aware that the
Gullenites who betrayed
Claire, in her day, are as
vulnerable now to her ire
sistibly greater bribe. His is
the portrait of the sinner who
must learn that there is no
innocence anywhere to save
him from the injustice he
imposed upon the girl who
was his own innocent victim.
Others Excellent, Too
These are shattering per-
formances to watch in The
Visit" yet they need the
backing of others to give
Mr.. Duerrenmatt's point its
final merciless sting.
1t is the typical Lunt COM
pany that is ready to supply
these latter, as in the case
of Thomas Gomez as the
culpable burgomaSter, an OPP
portunist politician as quick
as the next to trade principle
for principal. And, for an
other. that of Glenn Anders
as the dedicated schoolmaster
of Cullen, a man of integrity
who. in many ways, is The
Visits" most touching
martyr.
A number of others in the
cast contribute vital bits to
a secondary lesson of The
Visit" namely that in the
Messrs. Duerrenmatt and Va
lency, the Lunts have found
writer's worthy of their act
