upon his summing up" He
uses those words to describe his
greatest writing project. He
won't use them. or anything
like them. as the title of his
work. There are two reasons
for this. One is that they don't
precisely fit his scheme; the
other that Somerset Vaughan
used them more than 20 years
ago on an autobiography that
turned out to be premature.
Decades of writing followed
Maugham's Summing Up"
Mr.. Wilder has two better
titles, both used before, yet in
the public domain.
The first of these is "The
Seven Ages of Man." of which
the first two plays in tonight's
three one-acters at Olney are
the takeoff point. They are
presented under the general
title plays From Bleecker
Street." the specific ones Of
Infancy" and Childhood" I"
Eventually, they will go into the
series of brief plays he will call
THE Seven Ages of Man."
The special dispensation un-
der which Olney gets the rights
to.open its season with Wilder's
two latest short plays. and the
older Pullman Car Hiawatha, "
affirms a point he always has
made about himself. This has
been his insistence that he is
only avocationally a writer,
that by vocation he is a
teacher.
When a university theater
offshoot such as Olney asked
for the rights, Prof. Wilder
couldn't say no.
Were he a man committed
to logical routine, Mr.. Wilder
would be using his solitude in
Arizona to finish up the cycle
of one-acters on 1.-THE Seven
Ages Of Man" This corner has
heard nothing to the contrary.
Knowing Mr.. Wilder. however,
1t suspects him of letting his
mind run toward the second
cycle of seven plays. this one
"The Seven Deadly Sins" AL
most inevitably to two over
lap in Mr.. Wilder's intention to
let the final IA plays sum up
what he condenses into the
phrase "our lives and errors"
Some day perhaps a summer
theater will devote its entire
season to Mr.. Wilder's twin
cycles, leaving its customers de-
lighted and wiser for the re-
cess that has taken him to the
solitary distances Of the South
west.
As a teacher who puts his
wisdom into plays, he has had
a far larger classroom than his
vocation alone would have
made possible.
