Lillian Hellman of New
York and Martha's Vineyard
came to town last week to see
her Toys in The Attic" off
on its outward journey from
Broadway.
In person, or as a play
wright lost in the mass of
National first-nighterS, Miss
Hellman is one of the most
interesting members of her
profession. Also one of it's
most successful, all the way
back to 1.-THE Children's
Hour" in the mid-30s, down
through Watch on The
Rhine" Little Foxes" "Au-
tumn Garden" and now
Toys in The Attic"
Yet for all her own sue
cess, Miss Hellman has no
panaceaS for the problems
of dramatic art, or even that
much simpler thing called
show business. This should be
a warning against asking her
big questions, such as: Is the
theater remiSs in not coming
to grips with the great is
sues?
So, Name Them
What are the great is
sues?" she counters blandly.
Some people profess to have
a list of them at the tip of
their tongues, but I'm not
one of them. I honestly can
not convince myself that I
would know a great issue
if I saw one. Or what to do
about it as a playwright"
AS to the multiple con-
flicts in contemporary
human experience. these are
clearly battles between good
and evil and these, she was
reminded. are the very es-
sence Of drama.
For me-" Miss Hellman
said coolly, "the line between
them is so often blurred"
More to the point, she con-
tinued, she is not that kind
of playwright and never has
been. She is neither an easy
writer nor a glib one. Her
plays which sound so sting
ingly critical of the South'S
social climate and its catas-
trophic effect upon the weak,
do not start in that direction.
I'm not a situation play
wright" she explains. imply
ing the added phrase. "re-
CARELESS of what any if you

"I came close. true, in
Watch on The Rhine but
in no other play. And even
that one did not start in
that direction, indeed it could
not have been farther re-
moved from it in its begin
ming.
Il begin with character. I'm
interested in human nature
and in its effects, in the
case of one individual. upon
the human natures of those
around it." That these run
from the bleak to the dis
astrous among the characters
in her plays is in some re-
spects harder on Miss He'll
man than on audiences who
are fascinated by her find
ings. She explains:
