10 Fry Eggs

If you like your fried eggs
golden in color. with whites that
are just set. and soft yolks, use
olive oil for the frying, advise
home economists for Mario's
Food Products. Here's how they
do il.
Add spoonful OF olive oil to
cold skillet. Heat very slowly.
When oil is warm drop in one
or two eggs. Fry till desired
degree of donencss, basting
with the warm oil. Lift eggs
from the skillet with slotted
spatula to allow oil to drain off.
The eggs will be delicatcly soft
yet cooked firm. Only salt and
pepper seasonings are needed.

idea this. but one for which
Henry pays grotesquely when
he attempts to top it by max
ing Beckett Archbishop Of Can
terbury and Primate Of Eng
land.
This change in raiment puts
Beckett on Gods side, to Hen
rvs CONSERVATION and some
what to the astonishment. Of
the political playboy converted
into prelate.
AS presently played, Anouilh's
combatantS are more evenly
matched. They have a sure,
easy grasp upon the brilliance
of the playwright's wit, the
passion with which he infuses
the power lust of Henry and the
strength of Becket's intelligence
and emergent humanity. They
feel, too, the wistfulness with
which the author has brushed
the shattered friendship and its
residue Of loneliness for both
duelists.
En- route to his reluctant, re-
morseful kill, Olivier as Henry
gives the ragingly energized
performance of the play. In his
hateful insecurity against his
adversary-friend, he rants,
Misses, means, screams, sneers,
and prays softly in the thea
ter's most mesmeric voice. Yet.
while he is running the gamut
of these Norman emotions,
Kennedy offers a dramatically
subdued, secure and always
slightly surprised and amused
portrait Of the ultimately
triumphant Beckett.
Excellent performances d o t

Athony Quinn in the original
New York production. And,
displacing the most monarchial
of actors who originally played
the Beckett role is Arthur Ken
nedy.
1t is an inspired pairing that
redeemS the play from a con-
trast in acting texture that re-
fleets less on Quinn's qualities
as an actor than upon those
mischances which mock the
highest purposes of playmak-
erS.
The Olivier-Kennedy Beck
ct" is dazzling theater, draw
ing from the wit, imagination,
and sardonic intelligence of

men of the playwright's art
an almost lost art, yes?

The single thing left to rue,
about this Beckett" is that it
will linger a mere week in
Washington. A month would
not suffice to earn Anouilh, Sir
Laurence. Mr.. Kennedy. Direc-
tor Peter Glenville. and Pro-
ducer David Merrick the COM
munity'S proper homage.
Beckett" amusing, passion
ate, ironic, is less history than
a timeless political play. Its
essential conflict is that be-
tween church and state. the
former represented by a sinner
turned saint, the latter by a
royal playboy stunned that God
can stoop to bait His trap with
friendship.
In the performances of Oliv-
Ter as Henry II, and Kennedy
as his reformed political knight
errant, is the light, lucid, and
soul-lashing theater piece con-
ceived by Anouilh. There is
sting in every one Of the 81
scenes Of its two acts and If
the author has taken q few
liberties with dull history, more
honor to him and, correlatively,
more JOY to the audience.
The fascinating change in
'Becket" as between New York
and the road is in the royal
succession, Olivier for Quinn.
AS Henry II, the former is no
less a fleshling but more a
regally acrid human. He rel
ishes power with a Plantagen-
cts enthusiasm for bludgeoning
Saxon primitives into the sick
stencil Of poverty as keenly as
for taking on the Church Of
Rome in a battle for the ma
tional revenues.
Yet in making every English
man pay for the privilege Of
being ruled by him. from the
lowest to the highest, he rec
ognizes one limitation. This is
his need for a crafty politician,
an intelligence sharper than
his own. He finds both in the
cunning Thomas Beckett, who
brings with him the extra div
idend Of being also a roistering
companion, albeit one subject
to strange mystical moods.
1t is through Beckett that
Henry takes on the church by
the simple act of making the
former Chancellor. A brilliant
