the maid Of honor at the
wedding, but Jackie said it is
unlikely she will be satisfied

BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star

To face up to it, drama
reviewers have enough trouble
reading their own minds that
they would not dare attempt
to read those of their COL
leagues.
Nevertheless, they are
sometimes exposed to the
temptation.
This has been the situa-
ton, indeed, with this cor
respondent ever since last
Monday night.
1t grew out of seeing Jean
Anouilh's Beckett" with a
major cast switch which
placed Sir Laurence Olivier
in the role of King Henry II
Of England and turned
Olivier's former role of
Beckett over to Arthur Ken
nedy. The change became
necessary when Anthony
Quinn, the Henry of the
Broadway production, left
Beckett" to make a movie
in Italy.
A Different Play
The resultant Beckett" to
anyone who saw it in both
versions, is a vastly different
play. 1t is also a much bet
ter one for having the au-
thentic Apouilh luster which
is a mixture of deep percep-
ton, daring imagination,
humanity and sardonic wit.
Its broad concern is with the
historic struggle between
church and state - par
ticularized in 12th-century
England. This Anouilh mar
rates in the terms of a vain,
power conscious, irresponsible
Plantagenet King and a
Saxon playmate, Beckett, in
whom lies a deeply sub
merged religious patriotic i'm
pulse.
The new casting of these
two roles, Olivier, the king
he always wanted to play,
and Kennedy the Beckett he
plays with such sensitive ap-
probation of Anouilh'S intent,
was startling in its impact.
The Ideal Balance
Its principal effect was one
Of delight but there was a
secondary one-of regret.
The regret had to do with
the fact that on next Tues
day the New York Critics
Circle will make it's annual

Arts and Sciences will be
broadcast to a waiting world,
and the event may be more
of a cliffhanger than usual.
This years competition was
the hottest within memory,
with thousands of dollars
and words being expended to
sway the 2,400 voters.
Never has there been such
a hard-sell campaign to
win Oscars. Ads we're bought,
names we're called, voters
were buttonholed. What used
TO be an exercise to award
achievement turned into an
orgy Of commercialism.
But Oscar May Survive
But Oscar has survived
poverty, disintereSt and poll
ticking. 1t can no doubt rise
above the commercial flood.
And who will win the golden
statuettes at the Academy'S
hird-of-a-century festival?
Here's how the race looks to
a fellow who has covered II
of them:
Best Actress-Deborah Kerr
has been nominated six times
without a victory; she is
overdue. But though her role
in The SundownerS" was
compassionate, it offered
little of the pyrotechnics that
usually win Oscars. Melina
Mercouri is foreign and
played a harlot in Never on

winning combination.

BUT HARDLY SAD
BY MARGARET McMANUS
Bell Syndicate

NEW York; don't nee
essarily subscribe to that
sweeping cliche that come
dians are all very sad fellows.
Some Of them are, but they're
not all clowns, laughing so
they won't cry out loud. In
general, I doubt that they're
any Sadder than insurance
men, or real estate statesmen
or taxi drivers.
However, when people are
sitting around talking about
Jackie Gleason, as people
often do, I always feel COM
PEELED to offer my observa-
ton that Jackie Gleason has
the saddest eyes in the world.
He really does. And I'm not
disproving my point because
Gleason can hardly be cate
gorized as comedian.
He is a superb actor who
Is adept at comedy situations
and comedy characterize
tions, but he is equally gifted
in straight drama. He can
be a very amusing talker and
sstoryteller, but he is also a
composer of music, an or
chestra leader, a producer
and, above all, a man with
ideas. He is bold and imag-
NATIVE. He thinks he can do
anything. He's a gambler
who yearps to take a chance.
Natural Setting
I talked with him the other
day in a natural setting, a
pool hall on West Forty
fourth street. He was shoot
ing a scene in the movie,
THE Hustler" which fea-
lures some other pretty fair
actors, like Paul Newman,
George Scott and Myron Nc
Cormick.
In this movie, Gleason
plays the part of Minnesota
Fats. In THE Million Dollar
Incident" a Commute tele-
vision special in which he
stars this Friday 1890 pm,
WTOP-9), he will play the
part Of himself.
The television show was
GleaSon's idea, based on his
original story. In the show,
he is kidnapped and held for
81 million ransom, which the
kidnapers demand must be
paid by CHS. 1t is completely

think in terms of a ransom
no less than 81 million.

Postscript Version

The postscript Beckett" as
the current version might be
called, does not arrange Oliv-
ier's king and Kennedy's
eventual archbishop in a
hero-villain relationship. In
the flow of a roiStering male
friendship which degenerates
into mortal combat, the prin-
cipalS are flagrantly vulner-
able human creatures.
Olivier, as the king, is the
weaker of the two for resting
his case upon the power of
a throne. Nevertheless, in
the hands of an actor who
plays kings with a flair that
would have kept the world
monarchial Heaven knows
how much longer, he is a tow
erlngly dramatic figure in a
season that has run to pyg-
mics.
Along with his flagrant
faults of vanity, regal indif-
ference toward his subjects,
and his overconfidence in
royal posture, he is fun to
have around-in a bitter way.
Kennedy Superb, Too

York did not have him as
Henry II, just as it is re-
grettable that it did not have
