THE PASSING SHOW
In The Misfits'
So Little Fits

essence Of his art. the most
authentic in American drama
making. The locale Of his
screenplay Is Reno. its five
principal characters humans
who gave conformity Q
chance, found 1t not for their
natures, and are thrown to-
gether by a common lone
illness. E.
The most appealing Of the
quintet are played by Gable
and Miss Monroe. He Is q
handsome, aging but muScu-
lar cowboy, playing Don
Juan to divorces for want
of something better to do.
The something better turns
up in the shape Of Miss Mon
roe, q divorcee, whose life has
been spent with people who
were never there" These
include Q mother, father,
husband and, inferentially,
everyone she has ever met.
Study In Loneliness
Through their mutual lone
Illnesses, she and Gable per-
ceive that each is q there"
type, one present with love
when needed. So are Eli
Wallach. q gerage mechanic
who was q wartime airman.
and Thelma Ritter, who has
fingered in Reno 10 years
after getting her own divorce.
And. rounding out the misfit
group. is Montgomery Cliff.
q wistful young rodeo rider
who can't go home again be-
cause his Nom remarked In
indecent haste after his
fathers death.
These are Miller characters
and worthy Of their maker,
which Is high praise.
But what, does one do with
them? Where does one find
q situation that viii ct once
energize them-movieS being
supposed to move-and ex.
ternalize their inward feel
ings?
These are tougher ques-
tions for the author Of the
screenplay. Late in the film
after Gable has resisted the
challenge Of the two younger
men for Miss Monroe's affec-
tons. he manages to come up
with a suitably exciting cli-
matte sequence.
A Final Fusion
Now the characters and
the situation Of "The Misfits"
fuse into something worthy
Of Miller and Of a director Of
Mr.. Huston'S skill. Miss
Monroe and her three men 60
"mustanging," combing the
mountains for wild horses to
be captured. cruelty roped,
tied, and left for dealers who
kill them to make dog food.
Comes also the first
estrangement between the
sunny-hearted girl and the
aging cowboy. each 50 clearly
the balm for the others lone
linesS.
She is astonished and hurt
that q man so strong and 50
gentle can have spent q
life-theretofore totally un-
known to her - in such q
brutal business. On his part,
Gable Is disguised that q girl
so conscious Of the linkage
Of life and death cannot un-
derstand that this Is q way
Of making q living.
Naturally. their differ
ences are reconciled since
Miller's point is that love is
the answer-but only q par
tial one-to loneliness.
1t Is to read too much
into THE MiSfitS" to see it
as something Of an epitaph
to Q marriage as Miller seems
to have written too much
into the Screenplay.
Nevertheless, the tempta-
ton Is almost irresistible.

Jewish view regarding the
crime of kidnapping?
ANSWER: In the Bible
kidnapping which results in
very or selling of the
individual is punishable by
death EXODUS 21:16; Deute-

how severe a crime kidnap-

poisonous acid smoke rises from a wide
ditch which, moatlike surrounds the
prison town. An electrically charged wire
runs alongside.
Only yesterday, man was trapped in
the network of the wire fence, a human
creature who had tried to escape. He
burned to death in a split second. And the

to dusk, dumb demonstration for future
fugitives.

"Czechs," Race Ravishers," "Immi-

Rosh Hashanah is appalling,
Jake said. Take Frank, Jake

about Jewish things, would
take at least two ordinary
people not to know. l told
him, Jake said, Rosh Hasha-
nah is coming, so he says to
me, where you gonna take

Frank" 1 said, 'Rosh Ha-
shanah amt a girl. It's got
no sex, male or female. It's
neuter."
"Those are the Ones"
Frank said, (which are most
dangerous" Jake said. "Lis-
ten, Frank. ROsh HaShanah
just means the New Year.
It's the time when you blow
the shofar." Frank said he
used to be chauffeur but
he gave it up because he got
a job in a restaurant where
there is more to eat. Jake
said he didn't mean that kind.
He means the Shofar, just
like a horn to blow. Frank
said, the chauffeurS blow
their horns too much, if you
ask him.

JAKE SAYS, "You don't
understand. RoSh HaShanah
is the Jewish New Year. Like
when you say, Happy New
Year, except the really Jew
ish way is to say, MAY you
be inscribed and sealed for
a happy new year"
Frank says, "Why do they
say that?" Jake says because
there is a Jewish tradition
that on Rosh HaShanah they
make an accounting of your
good deeds and sins.
Frank said he didn't have
any sins. Jake said, yeah,
1 bet you keep two book

years back, when he climbed

MINNA.
Your question has puzzled
people since the beginning of
time and, so far as I know,
there are no conclusive an
Swers. However, when the
senses are affected pleasur-
ably, we humans often show
our feelings by closing the
eyes momentarily-as an ex-
preston of ecstacy, so to
speak. It is often done to
show exquisite delight over
the taste of fine food, the
sound of good music-or, the
thrill of a kiss.
Here is another possible
reason. unromantic though
it may seem. At kissing dis
tance the focus is so short
one might close the eyes to
avoid looking cross-eyed.
Don't you agree, Minna, that
it would be diSconcerting to
gaze into the eyes of a cross
eyed kissing partner?

CANDI.
First of all, let's get one
thing straight. At II, you
can hardly be classified as
an "old maid" but I believe
your mother is justified in
being worried about you. Not
because (as you say you are
not interested in boys. But,
because it is fairly obvious
you are trying to build a shell
around yourself and, for some
reason, you are carrying a
chip on your shoulder.
You asked for help but
said, Don't send me a book
let." You wrote, "I want to
be important to someone but
I'm not the type to knock
myself out trying" I suspect,
Candi. that what your mother
calls being "too independent"
is really fear-your fear of
being rejected by others.
So, you wear an I-don't-
care armor for protection.
You see, whether it is friends,
material things or recogni-
ton we want in this life, we
have to make an effort to
acquire them-they will not
simply be handed to us. My
advice is to try to be more
friendly to others. Make it
a point to smile-it doesn't
cost a cent. Strive to be more
outgoing, congenial, interest
ing to be with-and become
interested in others. In other
words, develop social know
how, poise and GET HAPPY!
