However, to return to Mr..

NEW YORK.--Many peo-
pie have asked me why I
switched from the compare
tive peace and quiet of lead
ing a band to the more
complex job Of producing
spectacles at the gigantic
Jones Beach Marine Thea
ter, 80 miles from Broadway
on Long Islands shore.
The first reply could very
easily be that Robert Moses
- he's the dynamo boss of
the park-asked me to. OF
course, 1t was more than
just that.
I have always been inter-
ested In producing. We were
involved In recordings, APP
pearances in all sorts Of
amusement halls, on radio
and television. This was a
new experience and new
means Of expressing musical
ideas and talent. It was, II
you please, q new challenge,
and we decided to give 1t q
whirl.
Originally the Jones Beach
8,000-seat amphitheater was
built for water shows. We
had to turn 1t into q huge
legitimate theater and find
novel methods to incorporate
the lagoon that separates the
seats from the stage. A hobby
came In handy at this point.
My experience with boats and
boating helped tremendously
to overcome many aquatic
problems.
New Sound, Old Style
To show you what novices
we were, we decided to start
with an original musical
which Is about the toughest
thing possible. However.

different when we went
north and worked on the
coast. But even there 1t was

want to bring In tourists, as
they plan, they will have to
build some decent hotels,
with efficient help and bet
ter food. How we survived
the food I'll never know, al
though the fish was all right
on the coast"
Can't Fire Them
'The trouble with making
a picture with Communists"
Richard told me, 'is that no
matter how inefficient they
are, you cannot fire them.
I was always complaining
about the crew and the
cameramen and about still
photographers who flashed
bulbs at me while I was
working, and every time I
complained, the committee
made out q report on me,
and all I was trying to do
was to get things done eff
ficiently. They wrote in
Vulnerable letters to the gov
eminent, but nothing was
done, and this was typical
Of everything. But they were
afraid I might quit, and then
the whole thing would 60 UP
In smoke, especially all the
lovely American dollars.
Like all Iron Curtain
countries, the Yugoslavians
are very suspicious. very de-
fensive. Not only as far as
the regime is concerned, but

actions are based on ma

He went on from there to

Mr.. Prince said that was
true. and to labor this echoic
point no farther, the sug-
geSted basic changes in the
musical were made during
its stay In Washington.
In his polite and diffident
piece in last Sundays drama

way OF avoiding them; name
ly by holding q series Of in
vitational previews on
Broadway.
Critics Held at Bay
This Is q way Of holding
the New York critics ct bay,
so to speak, until the pro-
Queer deems the show to be
ready.
The preview, however, Is
not quite the same as the
of-town opening with
its attendant reviews. It is
not that its audience is un-
discriminating but rather
that its members have the
feeling Of guests. As such.
they may assume an obliga-
ton to be polite, an atti-
tude that can be grossly
deceiving to q shows spon-
sors. Needing this attitude,
the latter might open their
plays or musicals in an "as
was" condition on opening
night, enhancing the haz-
ard Of being shot down on
sight by the New York cri
tics.
This happened to "Hot
Spot" during the season lately
ended despite one OF the
longest, hardest fights on
the road, and in q Broadway
preview series, ever put up
by a doomed musical.
The Other Evidence
It could be that Mr..
Prince, q man Of intelligence
and taste, was thinking too
personally in his tactful
structures against road cri-
tics" who presumably are
the victims Of geography, say
living east, south, or west of
the Hudson River. Out-of-
town critics are not notably
sensitive to this assumption
of New Workers. They COM
fort themselves with the
knowledge that Bernard
Berenson. to cite an illus
trious exception. did most Of
his writing on painting in

Florence. A distant entomb-
ment from Montparnasse,
this.
Insofar IS Washington's
critics are concerned and
their jointly accused Phila-
delphia colleagues, no doubt
they know that road OPEN
ings are not the invariable
disasters Mr.. Prince seemed
to imply.
There Is the classic exam
pie, for instance, Of q far
more original musical than

August, In less than perfect

sors anticipated Q loss Of
