nal design for Mr.. Gibson's
theatrical but precise reportage
on Miss Keller's transition from
a small, wild animal into one
of humanity's heroineS.
AS everyone must know by
now, THE Miracle Worker"
deals with a brief childhood
period during which Annie Sui
livan unlocked the bright, eager,
raging soul of Helen Keller
from its sightless, soundless
prison.
The three high-speed acts Of
the play begin on an astonish-
ingly dramatic note. This is
the ability of Miss Sullivan,
herself only partially recovered
from blindness, to detect a re-
markable human being in the
cropping, clawing little six-year-
old savage in the Kellers' tur-
moilish Alabama home.
Once Miss Sullivan has made
up her stubborn Irish mind
about this, her problem is to
open up the myriad wonders of
the world by reaching the mind
of her pupil with a single word.
If she can teach Helen this
word, the name of one thing,
she senses, but only senses, that
all others will follow.
This is the single element of
the conflict between the intui-
tive and invincible but inexperi-
enced and ignorant teacher and
the Gagged little animal of the
Keller household. It is con-
flict that is unwaveringly fas-
cinating, as violent physically
as its looks hopeless intellec-
tually.
Thanks to his foreknoWledge
of its ultimately happy ending
the spectator does not find
either aspect of the struggle
depressing. It is but Just, too
while watching the combatants
literally wiping up the stage
with each other, to give Mr.
Gibson credit for this effect. HI
never for moment forgets tina
he is dealing with one of tn,
most exalting achievements il
education and redemption. HI
takes only intelligent advantage
of the opportunity this present
