NEW YORK.-Broadway's
prize season is at hand with
one curious certainty:
The best new American
play is based on a best
selling book. The only ques-
ton: Which one?
The prime contenders in
the dramatic division are

Devils Advocate"

A big array Of performers
and backstage craftsmen are
in the running for assorted
personal kudoS.
Some of the answers flash

The current popularity Of
the film, now on its fourth
time around, is influenced by
several incidental factors.
The major one of these is
the Civil War Centennial
which, related to the race
issue Cor vice versa) is end
lessly in the headlines.
Also, another generation
of romantic readers, of
which our pet '14-year-old is
a symbol. has grown up since
the picture was last reissued,
in 1854.
Beyond these factors, as it
does not date in flavor and
shows small likelihood of
ever doing so, Gone With
the Wind" stands up tech
nically with the best of films
being made these 20 years
later. 1t is newly printed, in
larger screen dimensions in
which its 1889 colors stand
up vividly. and with modern
lied sound track.
Figures Startling
All these bear upon the
pictures overwhelming new
popularity, not only twice
that of its last outing seven
years ago, but in the case of
Washington greater than
when it was first shown here
in February 1910. The fig
ureS, if one may mention
money, compare $4,000 for
the first week of the current
run as against $4,000 when
the film was brand-new.
A story this department
heard last week seems some
how the perfect key to the
viabillty of Gone With the
Wind" of all pictures ever
made. The anecdotes hero
Inc is Vivien Leigh who,
watching herself again as
Scarlett at the glamorous At
lanta premiere a fortnight
ago, observed at the end of
the picture:
You know, I believe, Scar
lett could have won Rhett
back had she deeply wanted
to-"
It's a thought, but If ever
there was "a we'll enough" to
leave alone. Gone With the
Wind" is it.

"It's not that we Swedes
do not like people around.
We love people but when we
are concentrating on a scene,
we do not like to be dis
tracted.
This was my first picture
here, so I was polite and al
lowed people on the set. I
know I did not do as well as I
did in Sweden where no one
is permitted to watch movies
being made"
Her husband interrupted to
explain that Ingrid, as an
actress, submerges herself so
much into a role that she
becomes the person of the
script.
I'm America" he said,
many of the stars are per-
sonalities who always play
themselves no matter what
the role. They do not have
to concentrate so deeply"
Varied Roles
Ingrid disclosed that she so
throws herself into a role
that at various times in her
career she has played a jew
ish girl from the Bronx in
Two For the See Saw" on
the Swedish stage and a
Negro girl.
Most amazing is that she
played a boy in THE Magi-
cian."
Il didn't realize how well
I came across as a boy until I
started flirting in the COM
missary one day with some
Spanish boys. I forgot I was
dressed as a boy. until they

she knew, merely fought
wars; women live them.
1t was out of this intuition
that she created Scarlett
O'Hara, and, reversing the
traditional order of creation,
added a mate as altogether
suitable as Rhett Butler. It
is these two, with the cool,
gentle Ashley Wilkes and
the honey-dipped Cousin
Melanie, who constitute the
irresistible dramatic corps
of Atlantans Miss Mitchell
seems to have made i'm
mortal.
1t Began Dramatically
How these and the multi
tude of others, each one so
meaningful in his or her per-
sonal terms, came into being
is one of the blurred aspects
of Gone With the Wind"
so far as the new generation
of devotees is concerned. This
at least is the implication of
the drama departments sur
vey of the youthful popula-
ton of the third floor of this
expansive building.
AS we remember this story,
it started when Miss Mitch
ell was recuperating, quite
promiSingly, from an illness
in an Atlanta hospital. AS
any omniverous reader
might, especially one so en-
thusiastic for Civil War his
tory and fiction, she kept her
faithful newspaperman hus-
band busy bringing her new
books on his every visit to
her.
Finally-it was Kay Brown
who bought the rights to the
novel for Selznick who told
us the story-he came in one
night bookless. In his hands,
however, he carried a collec-
tion of yellow, lined scratch
pads and a few pencils.
Do-It- Yourself Project
Presenting these to his sur
priSed patient, he suggested
she write her own story. It
took seven years of research,
writing and rewriting, and
considerable editing, but Miss
Mitchell finally came up with
Gone With the Wind"

HOLLYWOOD, CAP). -
Hollywood has a new Swede
in the tradition of Garbo
and Ingrid Bergman-but it
may have a job keeping her.
Blonde Ingrid Thulin, star
Of many of director Ingmar
Bergman'S masterpieces, is in
town making The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse"
opposite Glenn Ford. It's
her first American movie.
But I cannot get used to
your star system" says Ing
grid. "In Sweden we have
no such thing. There are
only good actresses and bad
actresses-not stars"
Moneys No Object
MGM executives predict
that her first American pic
ture will make her an inter-
national star whether she
wants 1t to or not.
: Money apparently is not
the lure for Miss Thulin.
II am not sure do not
prefer the Swedish method
of paying actresses. It's all
based on seniority.
1--WE are very socialistic in
Sweden-even in the acting
business.
"The older you are, the
more money you are paid.
It's great security" Miss
Thulin, one of Sweden's top
actresses even before Berg
man cast her in such pic
lures as wild Strawberries"
and "The Magician" makes
$4,000 a picture in Sweden.
Evening star., 1961-04-09

MGM paid her $4,000 for
The Four Horsemen."
But with taxes, it's about
the same-only in Sweden we
get free hospital, free doc
tors"
Her husband is Harry
Schein, a wealthy Swedish
businessman. That's another
reason for her lack of preoc-
cupation with finances.
She's a fortunate actress"
says Schein "She need worry
only about the script
not the money"
One aspect of Hollywood
filmmaking bothers her in
the same way it bothered
Garbo. She likes to be alone
on the set.

In addition, an array of
medals. honors and laureis
is distributed by show clubs,
trade groups and press
committees.
For some Of the hopeful,
suspense-racked candidates,
survival at the box office
hinges this slack year on the
collective verdict.
Two of the three prime
drama prospects - Advise
and Consent" and THE Dev-
lis Advocate" - are from
novels Of identical title. "All
the Way Home" stems from
James Agee's "A Death in
the Family"
The latter and Allen
Drury's Advise and Consent
won the Pulitzer Prize for
fiction. Another curious par
allel between the two is that
each was translated into
stage shape by newcomers to
the medium from television.
Topics are Varied
Tad Mosel did the Agee
work, Loring Mandel re-
shaped Drury's vast volume.
The third, Morris L. Vests
THE Devils Advocate" was
dramatized by Dore Schary,
veteran film impresario who
also directed and produced.
The topics are widely
apart. Schary digs into mad
ern religious faith; Mandel
explores political melodrama
backStage in the United States
Senate; Mosel vignettes the
touching subtleties of family
distress.
On a close decision, cast a
vote for "All the Way Home"
In the musical sector, the
Critics Circle has the ad-
vantage of a later deadline
than the Wing or Pulitzer
group in inspecting "Carni-
VAL" which opens this week.
With all the predecessors
famed in some measure by
assorted shortcomings, it
could make off with the
prize.

BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

Collectors Of life'S ironieS
can only be delighted with
the recurring phenomenon of
Gone With the Wind"
This is meant in no
derogatory sense. This cor
respondent is a dedicated 81
year admirer of David o.
Selznick'S master work, less
demonstrative perhaps than
one of our favorite 14-year-
old romantics, but no less
faithful.
The irony we perceive in
Gone With the Wind" has
nothing, to do with its merit,
either as novel or as motion
picture. 1t relates rather
with the fact that of the un-
counted millions of words
written on the Civil War,
Margaret Mitchell's have
had the great popular i'm
pact.
1t is she, an amateur
among the professionals, the
scholars, the historians and
others who caught the deep
dramatic flavor of the strug-
gle between the North and
South.
A Miracle, No Less
The woman's viewpoint has
rarely wrought a miracle to
equal Sthis one, re-echoing
here at the moment in the
circumstance that Gone
With the Wind" is the run
away movie in popularity in
Washington. And everywhere
else 1t is being shown, not
merely in the South, but IN
such places as San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles and st.
Louis. With, predictably, so
many others to come, the
picture still being in what is
called limited release of
Civil War literature.
Over most of the scholarly
proS-who have attained
the merest fraction of her
audience-Miss Mitchell en-
joyed two advantages. One
Of these was innocence as an
author, the other the wom-
anly instinct to see the war
through a woman's eyes. Men,
