Drama Critic Of The Star

The National Theater's
curtain will fall on more
than q play called "a Raisin
In The Sun" next Saturday
night.
1t will descend also upon
an exciting chapter in this
country's drama history. a
chapter whose central char
acter is not one in the play
itself, but q 30-year-old
woman, Lorraine Hansberry,
who wrote it.
In this era Of "break-
throughs," mostly scientific,
Miss Hansberry has achieved
one that is artistic, namely
that Of being the first Negro
to write a prize-winning play.
Nor does this represent the
extent Of her achievement.
She saw to it-if only be-
cause there was no other way
that "a Raisin in The Sun"
came to Broadway, and later
the road, Under complete
sponsorship of members Of
her race.
Galaxy Of Unknowns
This is to say that its pro-
ducer, Philip Rose, and its
director, Lloyd Richards, also
are Negroes. So are some Of
the lat angels" who put UP
the money that made "a
Raisin in The Sun" possible
Of production. From author,
through producer. to director
(but naturally not cast) all
the principals in the project
were Broadway unknowns,
than which this society has
developed few such negative
negatives. One, let it be un-
derstood, that has nothing to
do with race, creed, or color.
On the score Of novices,
Broadway is tougher than
the Muses., Of whom someone
has said "they have no vel
come for the ambitious neo-
phyte. They merely open the
door and point silently to the
tightrope."
Broadway does not even
open the door.
Nevertheless, Miss Hans
berry and her associates
pried 1t open with a play
that speaks directly of Negro
life, but inferentially of that

iStics. In a way, this quality
makes Miss Hansberry's work
the reverse Of a previously
successful play on, broadly.
the race theme.
This was Philip Yordan's
anna LucaSta," which
made quite another kind Of
Broadway history. Yordan's
play originally was written
about a Polish family. its set

"EAtteu 4oF the AssoclAteo FreSs
NEW YoRK.-So many
wonderful things have hap
pened to me. Maybe they
wouldn't rhyme in a song to
sing. But like Peter Pans
shadow, they're mine, all
mine, and I love them.
Most Of my favorite mem
ories are of the marvellous
way things have gone on,
starting way back when I
was 5 and first stepped
onto a stage. I remember
distinctly-it was at a fire
mems ball back home in
Weatherford, Tex, and I
sang when Apples Grow on
a Lilac Tree" People ap-
plauded. too.
I was all grown up the
next time I heard real ap-
plause for me, anyway.
I was in Hollywood, making
the rounds Of the studios so
frequently they got to calling
me Addition Mary. I had
only $500 and I'd promised
my family I'd come home
when I ran out of cash.
Naturally, I was very careful
and tried to add to my dwin-
ding stake as often as
possible.
So, She Sang
One night / had q chance
to sing in q talent show at
the Trocadero. I had to bor-
row q coStume-an accor-
dion-pleated skirt, white
blouse, red scarf and a small
black hat - and in my
secondhand finery I did q
swing version Of IN Baccio."
Somehow, nobody noticed
I wasn't wearing a proper
evening dress, or if they did,
it didn't matter. They liked
my song, and Laurence
Schwab, a Broadway producer
who was in the audience,
thought I stood a chance in
New York.
If someone asked me my
favorite date, I suppose I'd
have to say it was November
8, 1888, the first time I put
on that lynx jacket to sing
MY Heart Belongs to
Daddy" in Leave it to Me-"
That was a night I'll never
forget.
o I wasn't nervous when I
went out to sing. Actually, !
had never seen a legitimate
show (and ! didn't get to see
one until three m this
later).
Not Critic-Shy
I just wanted to get out
there and perform. I knew
nothing about critics. If I
knew then what I know now,
I'd have dropped dead.
After the show some theat-
rical friends threw a big
party. As we entered the
night club, the orchestra
struck up my Heart Belongs
to Daddy" and it dawned on
me that the song was a hit.
There have been other
wonderful opening nights too,
of course. One that doesn't
mean much outside our own
little family is the first time
my daughter Heller appeared
on stage with me-that was

THE PASSING SHOW
This LostCurtoin
Will Be Dramatic

Their lack OF interest, how
ever, was sensationally re-
versed when an inspired pro-
ducer decided to substitute a
Negro family for Yordan's
Poles. With talented Hilda
Sims as its life-tarnished
young heroine, anna Lu-
caSta" earned critical praise
as a commentary on Negro
life. And, correlatively, the
boxoffice triumph it missed
originally.
Ironically. as a film, it
reverted again to its Polish
family with Paulette God
dard in the Anna role, and
again it was q failure.
The far greater strength Of
"a Raisin in The Sun" is
that it speaks Of limited
privilege minoritieS in gen.
eral with a much firmer
voice.
Experience Speaks
Miss Hansberry's Chicago
Youngers, up from slavery in
their fifth generation as
Americans, are motivated by
the common human Impulse
to get on In the world. Out
of her own experience, Miss
HanSberry knows just how
passionately their kind can
long to escape the South Side
tenement In which they have
always lived.
She imbues them with in
tense emotions, the feelings
of the under-privileged. but
not distorted ones. In the
hope that her dramatic point
will be understood, she goes
to great pains to make each
Of the Youngers understand
able. She paints their life, or
lives, as a skein Of frictionS,
some comic (who's next for
the bathroomN, some pa
thetic (where do they move If
they manage to break out Of
their slum flat?).
The family conflict with
its show. of diminished
patience on the part Of the
younger members with life's
economic and social restric-
tions, centers around q sud-
den windfall, the dead faith
er's $4,000 insurance. The
son wants the money to buy
a liquor store, the mother
as an investment in a house
with its own yard, the
daughter as a help toward
the medical career she is
pursuing so vehemently.
The Generations
"a Raisin in The Sun"
makes it clear that the son
and daughter are the spokes-
men for Miss Hansberry's
own generation, all angry
one but by no means devoid
of humor. Nevertheless, it is
the mother character upon
whom she lavishes not
merely her love and adrnira-
ton but also the plays most
warming asset, its unwaver-
ing spirit Of comedy.
AS played by Claudia Nc
Neil, Mrs. Younger is the
embodiment Of motherhood,
still determinedly on duty
in tempering her sons furi-
GUS Illustrations, her daugh-
ter's impertinent intellectu-
ality.
Between them, Miss Hans
berry writing for the middle
generation of Negroes, and
Miss McNeiI acting the
philosophy and the pride Of
the older one, manage to
make "A Raisin in The Sun"
the Negro landmark play in
the mid-century's theater.
This accounts for the
special drama that will mark
the fall Of the curtain on
the final performance Of the
play next Saturday night.
