Tanker Pact
Ends Dispute

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (AP)
The Eastern Seaboard's last
dispute in the Nationwide
maritime crisis was eliminated
last night when IS tanker
companies reached accord with
the National Organization of
Masters, Mates and Pilots.
Bsrgainers on the West
Coast remained at odds, how
ever, and negotiations there
were broken off until Tuesday
The tanker men signed a
four-year contract here call
ing for wage increases in each
year. The talks had been stale
mated for weeks on a demand
for a fourth mate on all ships.
The union failed to obtain
the extra mate on coastal
tankerS, but they did win the
fourth one for a number Of
military sea transport service
vessels under charter to pri-
vate companies.
The tanker contract Is subject
to ratification. 1t will be voted
on in a 30-day ballot by mail by
the 1000 members of the union
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The accord reached last
night, which affects sbout 78
tsnkers, calls for a 1 per cent
across the board increase on
wages, overtime and other earn
ingS in the first year.
In each Of the three succeed
ing years, the increase is for
pa per cent. The union also
won an addition to the company
contribution to pension and
welfare of $l.15, bringing this
payment to $500 a man each
day.

Royalty. For instance, when the
lights are on again, we may see a
monument of Rial, painted or
drawn on a paper, canvas, card
board or plywood, of which Rico
Prosperso is adept. The Rial Day
celebrities featured in the play
may then place the wreaths at the
base of the monument.
If the producer does not want
the bother of a monument, he can
add, if he desires, whole third
act a full fledged Rial Day
Coronation, which is historically
authentic and symbolic of the fact
that Rizaps death was a physical
destruction. but a tremendous
moral triumph for the Filipino
nation.
The range of alternate inexpen-
sive possibilities is almost limitless
for an imaginative and realistic
playwright.
We understand that it would
cost $1,000 to move the grand
piano in front of Rizaps cell from
the platform to the about a
foot below.
1t costs money to produce a
play. When Leo Domingo was a
Rial Day chairman, we paid
$500 for a stage electrician from
the Drama Department of the
University of Washington to Gre
ate an artificial sunrise as a back
ground for the execution.
That was in 1888 depression
year. Fifteen dollars then must be
equal to the purchasing power of
$4,000 now. But in those days, the
standard for a Rial Day program
was very high. For instance, in
one year the declaimer of Rizals
MY Last Farewell won his right
to recite the world famous poem
in competition with Is other en-
trants. He spent at least one
month of rehearsing.
To go back to the grand piano,
on the premises of Fort Santiago,
as staged, it could have been hid
den from sight without actually
moving it. Potted tropical plants
could have been placed around it.
Versatile Rico Prosperoso or Jose
Yumul could have been asked to
put a card board screen painted
like a wall in front of the piano.
The least that could have been
done would have been to cover the
piano or screen with some brown
cloth or paper, camouflaged as a
mound of earth or wall.
How about pushing the piano
further back and putting Rizars
cell in front of it?
The anomaly of a piano in the
court yard of Fort Santiago might
have been justified by mere words
in the script, such as:
''The night before, there was a
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1961-02-17

program in honor of Spanish Gov
ernOr General given by the Com
mander of Fort Santiago. They
have not yet moved the piano in
front of RizaPs CELL"
This is an example of what I
mean by AN acceptable minor in
Vention in historical play.
But to present a Rial play as
an inconsistent melodrama where
the hero appears desperately agi-
tated, is to misrepresent RizaPs
character and the significance of
his death.
A dramatist director producer
may use any materials from any
source, provided he can integrate
them as organic parts of the en-
tire structure, and not just pile
them up in a hodge podge fashion,
without due regard to order, de-
sign, symmetry, proportion, and
we'll known facts of history.
While the dramatist can invent
minor details, even in a historical
play, his invention must not dis
tort publicly known essential facts,
especially in cases when the truth
is more interesting, more dra-
matte, more significant than fic-
ton, and easier to stage.
We do not expect that a per-
Torrance of the Filipino Commu-
nifty of Seattle will approach a
professional production. But we
have a right to expect that it
should be at least as good as a
mediocre performance in the viii
lagos and barrios of the Philip
pines and an average performance
of the Filipino children's clubs in
San Francisco and New York.
We regret to state that in the
town of Santo Domingo, Ilocos
Sur, as early as 1916, we saw a
Rial Day play that could eclipse
the 1860 Rial performance in Sc
attic, as easily as the moon
eclipses a tiny, pale, distant star.
Ever since 1919, and perhaps
before that, the Seattle Filipino
community has been rated among
the most highly cultured Filipino
communities abroad. Let us earn
and protect that prestige. We can
do it; for we have now far more
talents in our community than
when Leo Domingo staged a real
istic sunrise.
Our leaders should spend the
time needed in finding them and
in persuading them to participate.
After they have done their very
best, donated their time, energy
and money, they must expect crit
icism of all kinds pro and con.
They, who cannot stand criti-
cism, should not lead, should not
perform for the public, much less
show a play on Rial, who says,
I'VE need criticism TO keep us
awake"

RIAL AS Seen IN SEATTLE

should he grateful to him and his
fellow officers for generating in
terest in dramatics.
But as ist-director-pro-
Queer it is evident that he has not
bothered to observe the A. B. C.s
of dramatic technique and the
basic facts of Rizars character,
and thus distorted basic historical
facts which he frequently substi-
tuted for non-dramatic fiction.
Practically every one in the
play is a dear friend of ours, in
! Guiding Captain Della Cruz, who
halls from my province, and his
gracious wife, Asuncion Buyson,
sister of Carmen, Philippine Min
lister to Rome.
A correct and impressive por-
trayal of Rial, the greatest hero
of the Malayan race, and the
prestige of the nation, should be
a common concern. 1t cannot be
done by white washing ourselves,
and our friends all the time.
We have, therefore, taken the
time and trouble to offer an ap-
praisal of the Rial play, presented
in Seattle last December, hoping
that, if it should be presented
again on any Rial Day, they
would remove it's gross inconsis-
tencies and improbabilities
We are fully aware of the diff
culties in preparing a dramatic
production. AS stated elsewhere
professionals on Broadway and
University Drama Departments
spend at least three months for
the production of a Three-Act
Play. Professor Glenn Hughes,
Head of the Drama Department
of the University of Washington,
said in a class that it takes as
much time and energy to produce
a three-act play as to train a foot
ball team for a gridiron combat
He was too modest to say that it
needs more brains and talent.
To present a two-act play after
two or three rehearsals, indicates
a serious underestimation of what
it takes to produce it. A promi-
nent leader from Narvacan, Ilocos
Sur who is related to a priest
dramatist-composer, said,
eff the producers and actors are
not willing to put up the needed
time, energy. patience, persistence,
talent, and funds to produce a
good show, it would be better for
them not to present n play at all"
I am informed that Dominador
Fabian was supposed to be the
narrator. 1t is for such emergen-
cies that doubles for participants
are Il aimed by the director.
I understand that the charming
hostess, Mrs. Gloria Landero, con-
tributed the idea relative to the
concluding scene of the play. But
just as a publisher of a newspaper
is responsible for every word
printed in his paper, even if he
were not the author, a director
producer is responsible for his en-
tire production. AS such, he has a
serious responsibility to the COM
munity, to Rial, to the Filipino
nation, not to say. to dramatic art
and technique, even if he is donat-
ing his services as president of the
Filipino Community - just like
other presidents before and after
him.

RESUME

AT the FISK OF being ledlouS, Il
repeat that in a play a lapse of
time or n division of scenes and
acts is marked by a blackOut or
curtain or some visible device, just
as a book is divided by chapters,
paragraphs and sentences.
A novelist can write, saying,
Five years have elapsed" But
a dramatist must lower his cur
tain, or have a blackout to indi-
cate such a break of time, whether
it is ten minutes or ten years.
There are at least a dozen ways
of incorporating the Queen and
Processes Scene to the play, with
out doing violence to well known
historical facts and to the prin-
ciples of probability and psychol-
ogy.
After a blackout following Ri
zal's execution, it may then be in
order TO feature. the Rial Day
