It was not surprising to
see John Frankenheimer us
ing Dulles Airport terminal
last Monday as q film setting
with all the imperturbability
Of a director working within
the sanctity Of q Hollywood
sound stage.
Young Mr.. Frankenheimer,
half Jewish. half Irish, and
First generation BOTH" Is a
tidy type who shoots movie
scenes only when ready. He
finds 1t less nerve shattering
and more economical to
anticipate and eliminate
troubles before they arise.
Moreover, the scene at
Dulles for Seven Days in
May" was a'lark as compared
with the four-hour shooting
Of q street riot scene in front
Of the White House on the
preceding Saturday. In to-
days climate Of tensions,
that was q perilous thing to
do. Recognizing the POSSIBLE
ty Of this turning into the
real thing, Mr.. Franken-
heimer and local police Of
ficials took every precaution
against it. Most Of these had
to do with making 1t clear to
possibly riotous passersby
that this was merely q movie.
But It Came Off
Mr.. Frankenheimer dis
cussed 1t over coffee at
Dulles after finishing his af-
ternoon's shooting schedule
there that day.
at had to look like the
real thing without becoming
the real thing" he said.
THAT meant taking a lot Of
precautions which we worked
out with local officials who
know exactly what they are
doing. That will be one Of
the great action scenes of
Seven Days In May And,
hard as 1t was to do, 1t
worked perfectly.

it being shot are in for

Mr.. Frankenheimer was
more delighted by another

required but a few minutes
to make. This one will show

NEW YORK.-Things are
happening on the tryout road
to Broadway that have me
wondering.
The danger Is that a whole
body Of lively theatrical ex-
perience may disappear. We
shear O lot about sundry woes
on the Great White Way It.
self, and perhaps this danger
Is an outgrowth' Of the hit
sor-flop complex.
! During the past few sea-
ssons. from my own expert
sence and what's observable
sabout the work Of other pro-
ducers, there has been an
increasing tendency to make
final Judgment about shows
while they are still being put
together.
Let me detail q couple Of
examples from my own recent
activities.
A year ago last March. "A
Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the Forum"
opened in Washington-three
weeks away from Broadway
premiere, and according to q
majority Of the local critics,
light years removed from
success.
Seasons Best
y, Since then 1t has passed
the 500-performance mark,
won the Tony award as the
best musical of the 1923
season. earned a profit Of over
$50 per cent on its original
= investment.
Another case: On March 20
Of this year, "She Loves Mel"
: opened in Philadelphia, three
weeks from New York pre-
miere--and. according to the
local reviewing majority, q
hopeless distance from sue
cess.
This week the musical
passes the 125-performance
mark, the result Of almost
unanimously excellent New
York and national notices
and is duplicating "A Funny
o Things" estimable success.
What does all this say
about the out town critics2
That they were wrong In
thumbing down the shows2
Certainly not, or, at least, not
necessarily. For both shows
underwent considerable revi-
sion on the road (new scenes
and numbers written, new
dances staged.
Basically the Same
But what seems vitality i'm
portant 10 me is that neither
project was miraculously al-
tered; both were sharpened,
yes. embellished. made more
entertaining. But basically,
these were the same shows
= that are furnishing today.
So. in what respect did the
tryout critics err. II they
erred at all? Only In that
they guessed wrong. But that

coal or coke into small pieces.
Place several pieces in the
center of a dish, being care
full not to overcrowd as the
crystals need room to grow.
Mix 4 tablespoons plain
common salt (no iodized), 4
tablespoons liquid bluing, 4
tablespoons water and l
tablespoon household am
monia.
Pour this mixture very
carefully over the pieces
clustered in the center Of the
dish. With a medicine drop

colorful brilliance by drop

coloring over the rock pile.
In a short time, little crys-
tails will start to take form,
and within a few hours 1t
will take on interesting and
unusual shapes.

several days and will last for
several weeks If you are care

Promising Formula
This has the sound Of a

of the philosophy which Mr..

Particularly cheering In
that statement were Mr.. Ken

some Of them over sensitive,

the feeling that their profess
