NEW YORK.-Jan Mozart
has an operate voice. blue
green eyes, a finely chiseled
profile and darting, quick
silver step. Her hair is as
black as Poe'S raven, perched
upon the bust of Pallas, high
above my chamber door.
She's quite the liveliest
creature I've come upon since
Eva Tanguay was the toast
of the Palace Theater. She
has looks, sex, and impulsive-
ness and she is now appear
ing in the off-broadway re-
vival of 1.-THE Golden Apple"
at the York Theater.
A Dancer, Too
She was wearing a wooden
dress of firehouse red when
she pressed the door buzzere
of apartment 19-B and
bounded in. She circled the
room, gazed appreciatively
upon a drawing of Marie
Doro by Charles Dana Gibson,
tapped the wheels of a tiny
model of a New York car
riage, circa 1902, and settled
beside me on the white divan.
I offered her a cigarette.

okay (for a while, anyway
for a girl, but not a boy?
II think the Characters
tics demanded-not demand
ed, but usually found-in the
alter people are more suitable
to a woman's way of life than
to a mans. And I think the
hazards and consequences
suit a woman.
Too Aware
If I had a daughter, I'd
say nothing until she was
about 26. But if she was 26
and doing we'll enough in the
theater, then I would get
worried. Then I'd think she
would be stuck at %.
Then it is, I think, that
women, through the nature
of the work, become too
aware of all the things that
in the theater complement
femininity - which 1 don't
think complement maSculin-
ity, They become too aware
for their own good-lt's hard
to explain"
The twice-wed-tW di-
vorced star declines to spec
ify whether any of this re-
lates to her own life. Her
husbands we're a book pub
Usher and Actor Laurence
Harvey She simply says:
Nobody forces me to go
on stage, nobody forces me
to do another play. I don't
know what Id do if l didn't
though. Id be in an awful
pickle"

THE PASSING SHOW
An Oscar Satire

with a surprise, Over the
years the prophets OF Circle
decisions have become as
tonishingly accurate, so &C
curate that this correspon-
dent was once told in Sep
TENDER the play and musical
that would win the follow
April's prizes.
Neither had opened. Both
did.
AS for the current season,
midtown New York is clut-
tered with humans who
know precisely how the Cir
Gle is going to vote in each
of the three categories.
AS to The Winners
Ever since it opened, for
example, they have known
that nothing could beat
Robert Bolts "A Man for
All Seasons" out of the Cir
cle's award as the seasons
best foreign play. If it had
a minor imperfection here
and there. they say, it pro-
vided Paul Scofield with the
material of the years most
exciting acting performance.
They are equally assured
that Tennessee Williams
Night of the Iguana" is the
best American play. 1t rep
resents the work of a new
Williams, a man suddenly of
mercy and compassion and
control that he never showed
before. and yet with undi-
miniShed gifts of eloquence
and play architecture. Be-
sides, has not Williams al
ready won three Critics Cir
Gle awards, enough to make
a fourth a sort of reflex?
The best musical In what
is clearly a non-vintage year
has to be How to Succeed
in Business Without Really
Trying"
So, there it all is. The
critics do not have to tell
everybody what they fancy
as the years bests. Every
body tells the Circle members
instead.
True or false, it makes for
a nicely poised performance
and a natural satire on the
one that will precede it the
night before in Hollywood.

He Calls Brundo
Top Director

HOLLYWOOD (AP).-
Marion Brando's first effort
at directing films. "One-Eyed
Jacks" was overlooked by
the Motion Picture Academy
except for a photography

has a fan in Karl Maiden.
Now appearing in his first
musical, Gypsy" Maiden
predicted Brando could be-
come one of Hollywood's top
directors-if he wanted to.

No. Doesn't drink, except

BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic Of The Star


Although he undoubtedly
would be turned down, some
smart television chap like
Jim Hagerty should ask the
right to tape a New York
Drama Critics Circle prize
awards meeting.
In@it, he would find the
deadlieSt satire conceivable
on the great Hollywood
Academy canonization ritual.
The latter, by the way, this
year will precede by a few
hours that Critics Circle
affair which is annually held
on the second Tuesday of
April, the 10th this time.
In contrast to the cameras,
searchlights, music, jewels,
and fabulous costume combat
of the Hollywood ceremony,
the critics rite is as simple as
a disbursements lunch.
What, No Glamour?
The some 20 Circle members
who attend the session, al
ways held at the Algonquin,
simply come in work clothes.
These can be anything,
rumpled suits, flabby flannels
with non-matching jackets,
whatever looks the least cere-
monial. The purpose of the
gathering is serious enough,
to select the best American
and foreign plays of the sea-
son, and the best musical.
The surface motivation of
its participants is to get it
over with and get an an
nouncement out to the press.
There is no electioneering,
no politicking. There is no
visible sign of suspense. Each
member of the Circle goes
into the meeting room with
his mind made up and hopes
that enough of the others
agree with his choice that the
first ballot will do the trick.
If this does not happen, there
is still no suspense; merely
evaporation expressed IA
cially, not verbally.
1t would make a great
show, except that a show is
the last thing in the world
the critics would permit it to
be. They are above, or be-
yond, even thinking of it as

Margaret Leighton, q Candid One,
Talks About Her Acting Art
BY WILLIAM GLOVER
Associated Press Writer


NEW YORK. - Margaret
Leighton, standout star Of
the Broadway season, talks
about herself and the theater
with crisp candor.
OF her own notable career:
II don't really feel I've done
anything at all. I look back
at all those years and shud-
der"
OF the theater: IF I had a
daughter who wanted to go
on the stage, I'd say, Well,
all right If I had a son who
did, I'd fight like a steer"
Incompetent Miss Leigh
ton, a tall, lean blonde from
Britain, is appearing in THE
Night of the Iguana," the
latest humid dramatic sortie
by Tennessee Williams.
Her vivid portrayal, by
public acclaim and critical
verdict, seems likely to sweep
the years feminine acting
honors. The main rival for
such citation is Wendy Hitler,
another English spellbinder,
in 1.-THE Aspern Papers"
Grasp the Whole
Just how does Miss Leigh
ton go about creating a char
acterization?
IT don't work the same way
I did when I was much
younger" replies the lady
who marked her 40th birth
day a couple of weeks ago.
Il used to go into details
right at the start. The more
parts you play, the more you
learn to get ahold Of the
whole rather than stopping
all along the line"
How often does she please
herself with results?
you never can say you've
really pleased yourself, look
ing back. Lord knows, I've
been at it long enough"
What about the opinion Of
others?
THE important thing is to
have done the best you could.
What I feel means more to
me than what I'm told"
How about newspaper re-
viewers?
Lesson Learned
II think my first lesson
from a critic was to know my
place. After six years of
playing lead parts in roper
tory I went to London and
joined the Old Vic. In the
company then were Ralph
Richardson and Laurence
Olivier. Joyce Redmond and
I were the leading girls.
Il was playing all sorts of
roles-not very well, but do
ing the best I could. I must
have been awful. I was ter
rified. About % at the time.
We'll, James Agate was an
important critic then. And
he reviewed one play-and
didn't mention me once. 1t
taught me a sort Of modeSty
not to be affected and not
to expect anything-and
never to expect that anyone
should like you"
Looking back to the start
of her career in Birmingham,
Miss Leighton isn't quite sure
how it came about.
After all, what on earth
does one know at Is? I sup
pose just being at home
wasn't very interesting. I just
wanted to act-and 1 didn't
have the vaguest idea of what
it involved"
by the time you realize all
the hazards, you are caught
and it's too late"
Why does she feel the stage
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-11

the perfect parody Of the
dazzingly contrived Holly
wood performance.
No one has ever rejected a
Critics Circle award and
there is every reason to be-
lieve that the Circle would
not give a shrug If someone
did.
There are a number of
logical reasons why the
Critics Circle performance
should look like parody of
the Hollywood one.
One of these is that jour-
nalism, with which the critics
are identified, is a non-per-
forming art. It IS work, and
while it is interesting and
often enough exciting; it is
never more than work. Only
the foolish practitioner thinks
of it as glamorous and after
the first few bruises inflicted
upon his ego by monStrous
headlines, even his type is
likely to settle back into a
subdued professionalism.
While few critics would
trade their jobs for any
others, they resent the COL
league who trades on his. AS
a class, they have no more
love for the theater than a
police reporter does for homi-
eide, They respect the thea
ter because t ley reSpec t
journalism which offers its
attention, and that of a
much larger audience, to the
theater.
It's Comfortable
1t is a comfortable enough
working relationship, more
comfortable perhaps than
that between political colum-
niSts and politicians.
Another explanation of the
difference between the sub
dued critics ceremony and
that of the Hollywood Acad-
envy is one that provides the
former with considerable
amusement.
1t inhereS in the circum-
stance that expressing them
selves with such finality on
play after play, the critics
leave a widespread impress
sion that a Circle session
could not possibly come up

Before wishing you Merry
Christmas and a year Of

important things that took
place in your Capital in

twist-but not together. After
all, they are still political
opponents.
Senator's outraged to find
round tables in Senate din
ing room replaced by square
ones. No politician would
think of breaking bread any
place where he couldn't
squeeze in one more con-
Stituent.
President Kennedy decides
there's no use getting over
his back ailment. His friends
have made such an issue
about racial desegregation at
Metropolitan and Cosmos
Clubs he won't have any
place to play golf when he
does get well.

lating. Very much in fashion
is the "Tamoure" eye, named
after the famous Tahitian
dance practiced in a Paris
night club (where even So
Wet Ambassador Vinogradov
admired it the other day, but
thought it pretty tiring-It's
q form Of sophisticated hula
dance).
"L'oeil tamoure" requires
two black strokes, the outer
points upwards, the inner
downward, the eyelid is COW
cred with q light jade green
makeup.
And she must do something
for her hair. She has cut her
curls weeks ago to offer her
bare neck to the caress of
the fur collar, which no win
Ter coat is without.
For Christmas night she
may adopt a chignon, a sim
pie toupee to double the
quantity Of her own hair and
make room for the jeweled
pin, or a little extravagancy,
q single colored lock (true or
fake) painted in the shade of
her dress or her eyelids and
lacquered afterwards.
Hat Wigs
Even the little shopgirls
will have their Christmas
head" with the new hat
wig" that is selling like fresh
breads. It's q simple rayon
wig that looks like q cap but
can be combed like a hairdo.
Jewels should be real or
enormous, the best in jet.
Earrings and bracelets are
favored. The necklace would
be too much and divert the
eye from the glamour of the
face. Except, that is, for one
very special design by Jean
Desses which is easy to copy:
q large black velvet ribbon
covering the entire neck and
over 1t a string Of bright Gull
tured Tor false) pearls. It
looks very pretty with a high
hairdo.
Festive Black
Her dress, too, will be fes-
tive, even If it is to be black,
the eternal uniform color Of
the midnight Parisienne.
Then it will have a generous
neckline or just very thin
straps. It may be a long black
sheath in wool crepe that
can be shortened afterwards
to become the black little
"bistro dress" so much cher
ished by the Partisan.
White or silvery, 1t will
have no full skirt. only a
slight princess form, but
trimmings of sequins, pearls,
ostrich and swan feathers,
white mink and gold or sill
yer embroideries will provide
the festive touch.
But the Parisienne hesi-
tates yet to adopt the ankle
long hostess gown as such. A
long evening dress, yes. but
the long hostess gown among
short skirts. not yet. Even
the most talked-about tulle
blouse, by Simonetta, is con-
sidered as q real extrava-
