The Cast

less flow Of the screenplay
and the climbing fury of the
performances, especially VAL
lone's as the hero cornered by
his own unacceptable animality.
Incest is not a word in Eddie's
vocabulary but it is an express
sion in his eyes, in the witch
of his lips, and the flutter of
his muscular arms and hands.
Vallone's Eddie Is a good man
turned killer through a hunger
he neither can understand nor
hope to satisfy.
In Miller's parable Of frus-
tration, he is surrounded by
equally arresting victims, all
played to perfection in "A View
From the Bridge"
Most baffled among these is
Miss Lawrence's girl, another
if lesser casualty of ignorance,
a panicky innocent lost in a
storm of violence. No help can
she find in the love of her
jealous, bewildered aunt played
by Maureen Stapleton; nor in
the gentle sutton protrayed by
Jean Sorel, another helpless
simpleton in the malignance
Of the Carboni's household.
The single character in the
family group capable of under
standing what is afoot is that
of Actor Pellegrin. His man
is the strong, silent older BROTH
er of the girls lover, sitting
lonely on the fringe of the
group knowing that one day

the full realization of Miller's
intention in "A View From the
Bridge" the statement that it
never quite became as a play.
This is partially the result
Of a Miller rewrite of the orig
inal. It is more the effect Of
Sidney Lumet's singing direc-
ton and a shatteringly right
performance by Italy's Raj VAL
lone as the tormented animal
who is the narratives key fig
IRE. Several others contribute
E powerfully to this end, Maur-
cen Stapleton. Carol Lawrence,
and Raymond Pellegrin among
them. Nevertheless, it is the
arts Of Miller, Lumet, and VAL
lone that fuse to make the pic
ture the standout 1t is.
o. n \ y
'Lumet's black and white "a
View From the Bridge" aban-
dons Miller's concept of Eddie
carboni's story as a modern
paraphrase of Greek tragedy.
It emerges as a brutal, not a
cruel, working of fate in the
life Of a Brooklyn dock worker
unaware Of what Is happening
to him, much less Of how to
cope with his malevolent des-
tiny.
AS Eddie Carboni, Actor VAL
lone is a muscular simpleton
whose natural goodness is cor
rupted by an abnormal affec-
ton for his wife's niece, played
by Miss Lawrence. The Car
bonis have reared the girl, now
10, in an atmosphere Of ex-
travagant emotionalism in the
nature of which Eddie can see
no change now that she has
become woman.
Others of the household are
less blind, especially after the
illegal entry into this country
of two Italian immigrant rel
atives Of Mrs. Carboni, one Of
whom Is an attractive blond lad
of the niece's age.
AS the youngsters living in
the same flat slowly fall in
love, Eddie lapses into his an
imal primitivism, a lust to
break up the new relationship
at whatever cost. This is paid
in successfully brutal install
ments. The first Of these is
Eddie's effort to convince the
girl the boy would marry her
only to legalize his entry into
the country. This failing, he
launches a crude attack on the
handsome young mans mas
culinity, a progressive bestial
assault. This could, finally does,
lead to the climatic insanity,
Eddie's remuneration Of the last
deSency which has kept him
from turning informer against
his helpless rival.
Il 4 y y.
Neither Director Lumet nor
Italy's Actor Vallone waste in
spiration on searching for clas-
sic parallels in Eddie's fate.
The malevolence that destroys
him is stupidity. This is no less
pitiable either for him or his
innocent victims because it is
stupidity. Lumet wisely accepts
this as the more adequate
dramatic point Of Miller's work.

Poles Apart
Are So Useful

About the only pole we
used to hear anything about
was either the North Pole or
the South Pole.
Not so today! North, south.
east or west, we seem to be
living in q pole age. In
practically every house,
whether It's Colonial or split
evel, you're very apt to find
me or more of those suction
ooles being put to good use.
Two poles may be holding
up a ladder of smartly
fringed bath towels in the
bathroom, or it may be a
nesting place for three prac-
tical lights that can be turned
at any angle to suit the indi-
vidual's need. Or 1t might
accommodate potted plants
clipped to its shining metal
surface.
Either brass or chrome
finished poles may hold UP
an ingenious "Shelfmaker"
over the toilet seat. This has
towel space, places to hang
wash cloths. and with a slid
ing door cabinet for bottles
and jars at the top.
Have you seen the new
vanity pole that has a ham,
per, three roomy shelves on
one side and a full mirror on
the other? It's in a fruit
wood finish with sparkling
white interiors and as practi-
cal an addition to a bedroom,
bathroom, children's room or
dressing room as you could
find anywhere.
Sparkling brass poles often
serve as vertical room divi-
ders with small chests placed
in between for extra storage.
The big advantage of this
pole craze is that the poles
may be changed and moved
about without leaving any
marks or requiring the aid Of
a carpenter.

SEAMS TO ME

Even though the current
fashion is the slim sheath
and loosely fitted shift, many
women look more attractive
in wider skirts; and If wider
skirts are more flattering
they should be worn. AS a
matter of fact. in cocktail or
evening clothes. the wider
skirt is still very popular.
BY wider skirts I mean
anything from a conservative
bell-shape, which is gently
puffed at the hip, to the very
full-gored or gathered skirts.
The shaping Of these skirts
with underlinings or crino-
line Is very important. With
out this shaping, the skirt
may look droopy. and, in
some cases, may hang very
badly.
II you have a bell-shaped
skirt that isn't underlined
with a crisp fabric, you know
the problem. This type Of
skirt needs something to help
keep the crisp puffy effect
around the hips. A petticoat
is out because the skirt is
slim at the hemline. The So
luton is a very short crino-
line that Is worn separately
and 1t can be made in a
half-hour.
This shaped crinoline can
also be worn under full
gathered skirts II you want
some fullness at the hip line.
It can be attached to the
waistline Of the dress. or
worn separately as illustrated
here.

"AS fits the holy Christmas
birth,
Be this, good friends, our
carol still
Be peace on earth, be peace
on earth,
To men OF gentle tOill."
-Thdckerdy
The best Christmas gift
the whole world could have
would be peace on earth,
peace without the threat of
war, peace and happiness
without any strains and
stresses outside OF our per-
sonal lives.
However, there Is an intan-
gible something in the air on
Christmas Eve which rises
above threats and crises, re-
sentiments and problems,
even above personal grief. It
Is nostalgia and also exciting.
1t is the spirit of giving, the
spirit of well wishing, Of
friendliness and comrade-
ship. If everyone in the world
could feel all year round as
they do on Christmas Eve,
there would be no wars. Mel
ther would there be any per-
sonal grudges, any meanness
or bitterness.
On this night the whole
world says Hello" to you.
Strangers in the passing
crowd smile at you. Breathe
this friendliness inl Let your
heart respond to 1t as your
eyes do to the colored lights,
the tinSel. the ribbon-wrap-
ped packages, the beautiful
Christmas tree decorations;
as your nose does to the
fragrance of pine or cedar,
and as your ears do to
Christmas Carols and the
Jingle of bells.
Even II your Christmas is
meager in material things
don't miss this wonderful
feeling which is free to every
one who will dust off his
heart.
