Andy'sSurvived 'Onionheod'
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM

By SHEILAH GRAHAM
North American Newspaper Alliance
HOLLYWOOD.-"After my
last motion picture" said
Andy Griffith, II spent a year
at home, because I couldn't
get arrested for it there.
"At the preview of this
picture, 'Onionhead,' there
were two girls in front of
me. One left for IS minutes.
When she came back she said
to the other, Sorry to have
been gone so long, You
haven't missed a thing" she
was told. I got pretty con-
fused myself at what was
going on. We stayed alive by
doing a televiSion show every
six weeks. I just knew my
career wasn't over, though"
The Andy Griffith Show,
owned by Andy and the
Danny Thomas Co., recently
nosed Danny's own show out
Of the top 10. In other rat
ings it's number five and
climbing.
Nobody Called
Every day I'd call my
agent and say Did anyone
ask for me?' They said no.
So I went to the television
department Of William Nor
ris and said, Get me q tele-
vision series - I'm ready.
Either that or we get out Of
the business Earlier I had
refused to do a series. It took
two years to get the offer in
action"-and then only after
Andy's career had been re-
vived with his hit play on
Broadway. ''Destry Rides
Again"
"At first" continued the
likable actor, II thought a
series would be easy. Now I
know it's hard but not i'm
possible work. You Just have
to stay with It," Andy and

Drama Critic Of The Star

Drama Critic Of The Star
What with the theater sea-
son in its second semester,
Broadway has begun to think
more intensely about the
best play of the season.
In view Of the seasons quail
ity, not many cuts above that
Of 1959-60 which was rated
a disaster, the process is not
a notably exciting one.
Nevertheless, in their rue
full way, the Seers have
drifted to certain somewhat
dreary conclusions relating to
the Critics Circle and Pull
itzer prizes. These are the big
ones, and the frequent diff
ferences of Judgment they
reveal always have their large
or small elements of drama.
This is clearly intimated in
the soothsayers' anticipation
Of what will happen in April
and May when the awards
Of the two are announced.
Two Are Candidates
The expectation of the mo-
ment is that the Critics
prize will go to "All the Way
Home" Tad Mosel's drama
tization of James Agee's
touching novel of the same
name. Not so the Pulitzer,
however, unless there is a
considerable upset of form.
The latter award is ex-
pected to go to Loring Man.
del's play version Of Allen
Drury's big political novel,
advise and Consent" This
assumption is based in part
upon a feeling that the Pull
itZer committee already has
a commitment in this area,
the result Of having chosen
the original Drury work as
the best novel Of last year.
This could be. but need not.
Beyond a doubt, the Pulitzer
committee is capable Of rec
ognizing that a novel is one
thing, a play quite another.
It's members might even agree
that "All the Way Home" is
the seasons best work on an
American theme, thus doubly
enriching the honors for a
play which at one time was
threatened with closing at
the end Of its first week in
New York.
Controversy's Hot
There is no question, how-
ever, Of the Drury plays tri-
umph were prizes to be
awarded on the basis of con-
troversy. Far more so than
in its original form, it has
been the subject Of fiery
argument, involving virtually
everyone, since its opening
night on Broadway. To the
surprise of many, accus-
toned to more of shy re-
serve on the part Of first
novelists. Mr.. Drury has fixed
himself firmly in the middle
Of all this hurly-burly. Such
invective directed toward one
critic dissenter on Advise
and Consent" has not been
heard since the late Max
we'll Anderson-a long es-
tablished success in the the

critics "the Jukes family"

off the current season as one
won hands down by foreign
playwrights.
She Slices Life
Its assumption now is that
2l-year-old Shelagh Delany
will win the Critics award
the Pulitzer makes none
such-as the best foreign play
Of 1960-61. Miss Delany who
wrote the play when she was
a mere 10, Is author Of "a
Taste Of Honey" q tough
tender, humorous-poignant
slice Of life set In q city re-
sembling her own In indus
trial Midlands England.
Miss Delaney's plays
chances are fortified by a
number Of excellences beyond
its writing. One Of these Is
its understanding, sympa-
thetic direction by Joan
Littlewood, who produced
and directed 1t in London at
her Royal Court theater. An
other is a pair of brilliant
performances, the most over
powering that by Joan Plow-
right as the physically and
morally under nourished
heroine; and another by
Angela LanSbury as the girls
prostitute mother. One Of
those golden-hearted prosti-
tutes, by the way.
Should "A Taste Of Honey"
encounter stiff competition,
this is likely to come from q
later arrival on Broadway,
Eugene Ionesco's "The Rhi-
noceros." Mr.. Ionesco, pre-
viously an off-Broadway
avant gardist, has written q
tragi-comic fantasy dealing
with the dehumanizing proc.
ess Of political tyrannies,
specifically that Of Adolf
Hitler.
Critical Cheers
The critical cheers that
greeted the play, and Eli
Wallach and Zero Mostel as
its principal characters, have
been among the seasons
loudest and are on their way
to being among the longest.
They were less nearly uani.
nous, however, than those
for "A Taste Of Honey" and
the Misses Plowright and
Delaney.
Steadily growing in stature,
and recognition, Is still q

Jean Anouilh's Beckett" q
daring import by the intrepid
David Merrick. It was not
expected Of anything so off
beat as Beckett" that it
would be more than an ar.
tistic success. Nevertheless,
according to Broadway's
most accurate scorekeeper,
Ted Kraus of Critical Digest,
it is playing steadily to 70
per cent capacity, as against
advise and Consents" rs.
And so per cent for "A Taste
of Honey"
This could be due in part
to the fact that the title role
of Beckett" is being played
by Sir Laurence Olivier, but
it was M. Anouilh who gave
him such a substantial role.

NEW YORK.-The tills are
alive with the sound of
music this Broadway season.
Big tune shows-lavish
with color, melody and
knockout performances-are
dominating the scene in spec
tacular style. ....
The happy fate Of the first
six melody arrivals Of the
season spotlights the trend.
Only two received clean-cut
support from the press critics,
but all are thriving anyway.
AS far as Broadway gray
boards recall, the string is
without precedent since the
first black-stockinged chorus
line kicked onstage just o5
years ago to launch musical
comedy-America's main in
vention in the realm Of global
entertainment.
There have been O lot Of
changes since. and the
lovelies come in all colors Of
the rainbow. One hit doesn't
even have q chorus, Just q
single sexy doll-in black
tights.
More significant are other
elements displayed by the
sextet which includes Came
lot" do Re Mi" Trina IL
Douce." "Tenderloin." "The
Unsinkable Molly Brown"
and wildcat"
A whole new generation Of
authors and composers Is
taking over from the Porters,
Berlins and Kerns Of yes
terday-who in turn carried
musicals forward from the
days Of the Herberts, Frimls
and Gershwins.
The musical stylists now
are Sheldon Harnick, Fred
erick Loewe. Meredith Will
son, Cy Coleman, julie Styne.
Perhaps the most conspic-
uous thing done by them and
fellow craftsmen In other
areas Of backstage creation is
to resist any uniformity or
conformity.
Earlier Shows Stay
Other projects due be-
tween now and seasons end
in May may spoil the perfect
percentage, but 1901 al
ready stacks up well In COM
parison with three previous
seasons.
Last year. four Of II musi-
Gals achieved study runs: in
1859. there were six winners
out Of 11-but they didn't
emerge in succession; the
year before that. just 8 out
Of 9 made the grade.
Besides the new advertise.
ments. six of earlier vim
tages are also thriving, to
provide a dozen bright bios
SONS in a generally lack
luster Broadway lineup.
The holdovers include Rye
Bye. Birdie" "Fiorello!"
Gypsy" 1.-THE Music Man."
"The Sound Of Music" and
my Fair Lady," which next
June will set an all-time
record run Of SO months.
The creative pendulum Is
swinging away from precise
and balanced blending Of all
ingredients. Even the most
ardent supporters Of several
concede q lack Of varying
elements heretofore regarded
as essential.
Creaky story-lines badger
all save Trina la Douce," and
the humor Of several is low.
Each glories in emphasizing
other assets in unusual pro-
portion.
"Camelot," the new offer
ing by the creators Of MY
Fair Lady" ranks as prob
ably the brightest spectacle
ever displayed on Broadway.
