1964: YEAR OF DECISION

Well sir, here we go into 1964, whieh shows every sign of being
quite a distinguished yeur. First off, it ix the only year since
1954 whieh ends with the Figure 4, Of course, when it comes
to Figure 4's, 1964, though distinguished, can hardly compare
with 1444 which, most people agree, had not just one, not just
two, but three Figure 4's record that will
stand for at least a thousand yours!

1444 was, incidentally, notable for many other things. It
was, for exumple, the year in whieh the New York Giants
played the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. As we
all know, the New York Giants have since moved to San Pran-
cisco and the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City, There is
nomovement afoot ut present to move Chicago to Phoenix
the eity, not the baseball team. Phoenix, in turn, would of
course move to Chicago, It is felt that the change would be
broudening for residents of both cities, Many Chicago folks,
for example, have never seen an iguana. Many Phoenix folks,
on the other hand, have never seer

There are, of course, certain diffieuities conneeted with a

you also have to move Lake Michigan, This, in itself, presents
no great problem, what with modern scientific advances like
clectronies and the French cull. But if you will look at your

Bad Script, Bad Actor Equals Bad Film

by Paul Jensen

There is today a preoccupation
with the role of the director, The
auteur theory, mentioned on pre-
vious weeks, holds that the director
is the ultimate creater of films,
and even generalized, nondogmatic
discussion of films tends to center
around individual directors,

This emphasis*upon the director
makes one wonder just what he (or,
in isolated cases, she) does. This
is a thorny question, but one of
particular interest to anyone even
attempting to judge the work of a
particular director,

Main Responsibility
To generalize wildly, the director
is responsible for whatever is seen
on the screen,

He decides where the actors stand,
where the camera is placed in re-
lation to them and the setting, how
the performers are to play thetr
roles, how the film is ta be paced,
and the order and composition of
shots. It is he who decides when
everything is finally “right,’’

As a rule, the director receives
praise or blame for whatever is
good or bad about the film, and
particularly for those aspects men-
tioned

But it is Jiterally impossible to
determine, for certain, the degree
of influence exerted by this one
man, for so many other peuple are
involved that every one of those
elements listed above may be the
result of someone else's work.

Finol Script

The audience never sees the tinal
script of the film, and therefore
cannot know what details of the set-
ting and the actors’ positions are
included. In sume cases it may leave
only a single possibility tor the di-
rector to use,

efforts of a good director So alse

Depending upon the director's im-
aginativeness, the cumposition of
shots and the camera angles may
have been determined not by him
but by the camerman.

These, in turn, are often limited
by the size and shape of the set and
its contents, which are designed by
a set designer/art director who
may or may not have conferred with
the director beforehand,

Editor Important

The editor of a film is often as
important as the director, for the
film is ultimately in lis hands, and
he can tighten sloppy direction or
ruin good work through the use of
his scissors.

With the pace, order and length
of the picture under fis control,
he may follow the script, the sug-
gestions of the producer (who usually
has something to say) or the direc-
tor, or even lus own impulses
wlich may all be contradictory,

The only discermble thread ot

is Moorevhouse, and even he seems

Characters pop oii and out with

lently portrayed Movrehouse vith

smiall roles, reestablished Debs with

blame would fall on the writer, the
actor or the director — not the un-
known man in the cutting room,

Actor's Ability
Is a particular performance due
to the actor’s ability, or tw the di-
rector’s skill in eliciting good per-
formances?

How much of a filin is shot by
the “second unit director,’? on lo-
cation, and how much of that 1s due
to lis own initiative, the suggestions
of others, or the editor's modifica-
tons? For what is the Assistant
Director responsible?

Since even those few who write,
direct and edit their own filins are
still not completely independent,
how is it possible to judge a film?
The only feasible way is to become
familiar with the previous work of
the individuals involved,

If an actor has never given a
good performance, except under one
director, the credit should be the
director's, This 1s the only logical
way to make a decision of this sort,
what with the plethora of personali-
ties involved.

The three meeting requirement for nom-
ination to Senate was abolished Wednesday
in an amendment to the General Election
Law. Any student is now eligible for nom-
ination, Nominations will close today at 5
p.m,

All nominees will be reviewed by The
Election Commissioner. Only the names of
those with a 2.0 cumulative average will be
placed on the ballot.

Other provisions of the Election Law
amendment give greater power to the Elec-
tion Commission. It now will determine the
place of election, provide the official ballots,
and require the name and a form of iden-
tification from each voter.

All candidates who wish to do so must
file their declinations by February 19 at
5 p.m,

Senate has also passed a constitutional
proposition which would limit the number
of Senators to sixteen per class. At present,
representation is on a percentage basis,

The amendment will come before the
student body for approval next week. Voting
will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, at the
Peristyles Desk. A two-thirds majority
of those voting is necessary for approval.

Presidential Veto
Several other constitutional propositions
were brought onto the floor, but the meeting
was adjourned before action was taken on

them,

One of the propositions would give the
Student Association President a veto power
over legislation passed by Senate. Another
Proposition in the group would provide for
Senate’s overriding the President’s veto
by a three-quarters majority vote,

The duties and powers of the Cabinet are
defined in a third proposition. It is to advise
the President on the organizational areas
each member represents, and to appoint
chairmen for Special Days, with the approval
of Senate.

In two other propositions, the Vice Pres-
ident would be given the duty of assisting
the President in carrying out executive
functions, such as executing legislation and

Informal Group To
Discuss Religions

The second meeting of a new
group, “Speak Out,"? will Le held
Thursday, February 20, ‘The open
meeting will begin at 8 pan, at 34
North Allen Street. ‘The topte will
be “What Keligion Means ‘Tu Me,!

The first meeting of the group,
held February 6, was attended by
sixteen people — a larger number
than expected, according to spokes~
man Michael Stewart '6

According to Stewart, those who
attend “Speak Out" “recognize the
various organized groups on cainpus
and adit their worth," but also
contend that ‘formal organization
can defeat the very purpose of any
group,’

For the latter reason, meetings
are strictly informal without the
Intention that those in attendance
must agree with one another,

Book Drive to Aid
Native Thai Students

Students at Albany State have been

Tuition Brings Protest From NYC;
Alumni Seek Mandate Free Tuition

‘The tuition question is again being
raised as the City College Alumni
Association seeks mandated free
tuition at this session of the New
York State Legislature, At present
the four senior colleges are not a
part of the State University unit
where tuition is already in effect.

The Association is intent onkeep-
ing the City colleges tuition-free,
although the Board of Regents would
like to see uniformity between the
City colleges and the State Univer-
sity.

The mandate would insure no
charge of tuition at the City schools
and perhaps provide hope for a
lowering and/or obliteration of it
at the State schools.

Wagner Sympathizes

Robert Wagner, Mayor of New
York, has rejected the CU tuition
plan on the grounds that there is
“ae justification.’ He also ex-
pressed his sympathy for the State
University units where tuition is
already being charged.

In regard to the State Universit:
State Assembly Speaker Joseph C
lino stated that some $22,000,000
would be realized from tuition char-
ges,

An Alumni Association spokes-
man, however, declared that, “The

State will only receive $6,000,000
from tuition.,..less than three per-
cent of the annual expenditures for
the State University. The rest will
accrue to thé State University as
grants from the State in the form
of Scholar Incentive and scholar-
ship ald.’”

The spokesman called the system
“back-door borrowing.’”

Pro-tuition Board
The state Board of Regents feels
that tuition at City colleges would
not only bring uniformity to the
State University system, but aid
the City colleges in their own ex-
pansion and development

The Board further stated that an
“tanomaly’’ (inequality) exists at the
CU community colleges, since they
are being charged tuition,

Dr. Gustave G, Rosenburg, chair-
man of the Board of Higher Educa-
tion retorted, ‘‘If uniformity is de-
sired, let that uniformity be the
free-tuition policy

He has challenged state leaders
to show non-partisanship in the
tuition matter. He fears that the
legislators will feel obligated to
display their support of Governor
Rockefeller by not allowing the free-

Co-op To Be Sponsor
Of Collection Contest

The State University Co-op, in
cooperation with the Student Asso-
ciation, will sponsor the second
annual Book Collection Contest. It
will be open to all students of the
university and will be held from
February 17 to March 6

The book collections may be en-
tered in the Co-op between Feb-
ruary 17 and February 29,

Each collection may have a maxi-
mum of ten books, based on a sub-
ject area. A display of lists of
sample collections will be shown
in the Co-up,

Display in Commons
Each student must present a state-
ment, in duplicate, depicting the
purpose and/or intent of his collec-
tion, Also, he must state in which
category he wishes his collection
to be placed.

While on display in te Com-
mons, March 4, 5, and 6, the col-
lections will be judged by a con-
test cummitier © mprised of mem-
hers of the student body and the
faculty,

The quality, the knowledge of
books as revealed in each collec-
tion, its value as a nucleus for a
Permanent and personal library,
and whether it meets the stated
purpose are the basis for adjudi-
cation

Judges Decision

The final decision of the judges
will be announced on March 6,
First prize will be $50 in books,
with fifteen additional prizes of
$15 each in hooks

The contest may be entered by
any student as many times as he
wishes,

New Name Make’s ASP’s Position Clear

We do not particularly like changing the
name of this newspaper for the second time
within a year, but we feel this move will be
best for all concerned.

It seems that confusion existed in the minds
of many of our faculty and students over our
use of the words State University in the ban-
ner of the old News. Because we used the
name of the State University many people
had the erroneous idea that we represented
the entire University.

We go on record now as saying that this
newspaper has never pretended to repre-
sent the interests of the entire University,
just as the New York Times does not claim
to represent the entire city of New York.

Our primary focus has always been on
student life and student interests. We hope
that our new name, the Albany Student

University in the past year.
The two week rush period is ridiculous-

Why don’t the fraternities and soror-
ities on this campus just quietly fold up,
instead of continuing with this sham called

all concerned,

Press, will make this clear once and for
all. We are a student newspaper!

This is not to say that we wish to dis-
associate ourselves from the University
community, but we do emphasize that our
main sympathies lie with the student body.

We recognize that we have some very
real and some very necessary responsi-
bilities to our faculty and administration,
and even to the State University as a whole,
but our outlook must remain essentially a
student outlook,

The ASP, like its predecessors, is clear
in its aim — to inform and represent the
student body of this University.

Some people might regard this view as
unnecessarily narrow. We don’t think it is.
If we seem to be deliberately limiting our-
selves, it is because we are limited by the

2.0 requirement

The Formal Rush period should be a
time when group loyalty comes to the
fore amongst Greeks. We have seen
little evidence of this kind of loyalty in
the past few weeks.

It is definitely out of fashion to be
labeled a ‘‘Gung-Ho Greek’? at State

tions, yes, but lethargy undermines the

cuts the number of rushees,

This makes things tough, butit provides
no excuse for folding.

If the Greeks are going to have any
future at all at State, they had better
get on the stick.

They are going to have to make the
best of a bad deal, Being a little ‘*Gung-
Ho’? might not hurt.

Graduate Relates Peace Corps Experiences

Spends 18 Months Teaching in Sierra Leone

Editor’s Note: During this past summer the ASP
contacted all graduates of SUNY at Albany pres-
ently serving in the Peace Corps.

All the volunteers except George Dewan were
unable to submit an article because they were in
the midst of their tour of duty. Dewan had just com-
pleted his eighteen months in Africa, and responded
to the ASP's request for a first-person article,

The ASP hopes that it will be able to obtain
articles in the future from other alumni serving in
the Peace Corps.

which oppresses him, driving him to the
brink of exhaustion in an attempt to find a
better one.

The candle — his only light — flickers
as it sends its lambent glow across the
page and around the roomful of slumber-
ing people. He has been studying for three
hours (not being able to study in the early
evening because his household duties in-

wood and water) and his eyes grow weary

May afternoon.

I luxuriated in the sights of the land
reborn after the long dry season: stately
palm trees swaying in the breeze; multi-
colored tropical flowers whose variegated
hues overwhelmed the eye; lush, green
grass where a month ago there was nothing
but amber-colored straw.

Just then I saw in the road, and at a dis-
tance, a strange procession of men coming
toward me, I watched, fascinated, as they
walked in single file, like a column of ants;
without haste but with meticulous precision
they loomed closer.

There were seven in all, and each, with
the exception of the first, had his left hand
firmly on the left shoulder of the man in
front of him, Their eyes never turned left,
right, up or down, but never did they falter,
never did they misstep.

As they reached a point directly in front
of the house they stopped. and stood, look-
ing straight ahead; soundless; motionless,

soaking my clothes and defacing the paper

Just then I notice that it has gotten con-

to lightly caress the curtains and send a
chill. through my soaked body, Abruptly,
the gentle breeze has turned into a howling
and whistling wind which tears and claws
at the curtains, rattles the windows and
shakes the very foundation of the house,

Suddenly a fluorescent dagger of lighten-

deafening crack of thunder which pains the

Misery is your favorite frosh not making the required average for

Misery is the big hush concerning A, A, Board. Doesn’t it seem reason-

Collectivism Weakens Spiritual Fiber

by J. Roger Lee

This country was founded in rec-
ognition of the liberal premise that
all men have inalienable individual,
rights, Our government was insti-
tuted ‘*...to secure these rights...”

The concept that governments are
formed by people to protect their

pre-existing indivi-
dual rights was un-
iquely that of the
American revolu-
tion.

Man, until this
point in his history,
had never seen the
the formal institu-
tional objectifica-

tion of the principle that men are
created equal and have the right to
their lives and to pursue their own
happiness.

New Ideal

Prior to 1776 the history of man
had been a history of master,
and ruler-subject relationships
not that of equitable relations be-
tween individuals. The United States
was the first government which was
not based on the premise that one
man or one group of men is sanc-
tioned to use force or the threat of
force to dominate and live at the ex-

Pense of the rest of mankind,

America, however, has been grad-
ually renouncing thisesteemed prin-
ciple. The intellectual, social, and
political trend in this country over
the last seventy-five years, has
been away from this Jeffersonian
individualism and toward collecti-
vism,

Unsavory Alternative
According to the philosophy of
collectivism, man has no rights as
such but exists as the property of
the collective of his fellow men,
Under this system, the individual
exists and functions if an only if the
group (or its leader) permits him
to. If it does, then, in return for
this permission, he must perform
his functions, not for his own bene-
fit, but for that of the collective.
Collectivismm is only another form
of tyranny, namely, the tyranny of
the majority
America is moving ever closer
to this collectivist state. Political
speeches nu longer center on ine
dividual rights as the prime con-
sideration of governmental policy
but, rather, on considerations of
an undefined and undefinable “pub-
lic good’! the nature of which is
usually decided by arbitrary and
authoritarian governmental edicts.

In most quarters, the accey

Stepping out into the aftermath of this
violence, one is struck by the contrasts in
this vast symphony of sound. The raucous
tones of the percussion and horns have
given way to the soft and subtle tranquility
of the flute and violins.

The atmosphere is cool and sparkling.
The flowering plants seem to sigh with
relief as they absorh the life-giving mois-

radiant splendor,

first groups of Volunteers to he sent

In those incipient days the Peace Corps
was little more than a vision — noble and
altruistic, perhaps, but still untried and
unproven — and we had taken upon our-
selves the task of making that vision a
reality,

This group was being prepared to teach
secondary school in Sierva Leone, West
Africa, a country which just that year had
gained independence from Great Britain
and had become the one-hundredth mem-

Current Comment

Rockefeller Budget Criticized;
New Assembly Secrecy Berated

by Joseph W. Galu

Two recent developments in state
government should be of interest to
all voters and prospective voters,

The first of these is the rewriting
of the rules of committees in the
Assembly. In this body the com-
inittees continue to be stacked two-
thirds plus one Republicans to one-
third minus one Democrats, despite
the lineup which is only 86 to 64 in
favor of the GOP,

Secrecy Insured

The change in rules forbids the
recording of voles in the commit.
tees. The record will be the total.
There will be no legal method of
demanding to know how a legisla-
tor voted on a particular issue

The setup of the Assembly itsel!
is such that everything except the
OSL partisan issues can be voted
on with a roll call, All other votes
are vecorded as being unanimous.

The budget, for the first time
since Harriman, provides no money
to reduce river pollution, This is
one more example of why the fed-
eral government ends up doing most
needed work, The state of New
York has more ability to pay for
needed projects than any other state,

Still, Rockefeller in his attempt
to run for President at the expense
of the people of New York State has
ended one program of major im-
portance,

New York is taking no steps to
encourage the production of soft
detergents = those which do not
pollute water supplies. New York
is taking no steps to increase aid
ty colleges or public schools.

Cheap Debts
This last omission is particularly
damning when one realizes that the
people of New York voted to spend
500 million dollars for school con=
struction by the issuing of low ine
terest bonds,

so. He puts it this way:

But if I went up to her, as she
did with just an introduction, and
asked ‘Why did you have your ears
pierced? ‘Do you think it makes
you look good??? or “Why do you
always say stupid things??? I would
be rude and impertinent,

For some reason, my beard makes
ine sort of an unusual type of animal

me after just meeting me: “yr

Due to the fresh air or balanced

Naturally, with such a super-
abundance of loveliness, Americans
applied to girl-watching, the same

In other words, they organized
girl-watching as they did sandiot

Students Determine Activity Pattern
Indifference Meets Many Events

ers-924,

This week we wish to point out
the bright spots in each league
In league I we have a three way tie
for the lead; KB (6-1), The Harriers
(7-2) and the Goobers (7-2).

The Cinderella team of this league
is the Harriers. A new team this
year, they have given an accountable
performance in every game they’ve
played, Their star player, Steve
Bacon, is the highest scorer in the
league. His 142 points (17.8) points
per game far surpasses any other
player in the league.

K.B, las also done an outstanding
job this season, Sporting a well
balanced offense and tight defense,
they have only lost once, to the
Harriers. Little Jou Gleason leads
their team with 82 points (11.7 per
game),

The Goobers are a big, well
seasoned team, Charlie Hickey leads
their scorers with 86 points (12.3),
and Jerry Blair has tallied 81 points
this season,

League II

The second league lias heen dom-

Lake House. Both teams are unde-
feated thus far

Lake House sporting a 4-0 sea-
son, has come up with two big
surprises this year, Glenn Fire-
stone has passed their attack with
87 points, a fantastie average of
21.8 points per game, Jeff Olsen
has also chipped in with some fine
efforts; 68 points for a 17 point
average.

APA’s Apathetics sport a well
Valanced squad and au impressive
5-0 record.

To A Sports Editor Dying Young

Tuesday night in the office, the deadline ten minutes
away;

Three pictures and a story are missing, you fall on
your knees and pray.

Colgan is cursing the headline machine, Galu is
yelling at all.

That is the way the office has been since the second
Week in the fall.

Somehow you manage to make, the Lord has pulled
you Through,

But you still make those blunders like picking NYU.

Friday, the finished product lays in the hallin a stack,

By twelve o’clock in the afternoon the coaches are on
your back,

I tell myself I can make it, and it’s really just a
breeze,

But, finals prove it otherwise and I lose my last
three B’s.

Sports fans are very fickle as Casey musthave found,

The day the Mudville citizens ran him out of town.

When the English Department reads this, I’m sure
that I'll be Hung,

That’s the reason I[ call it, ‘*To a Sports Editor
Dying Young.’’

What Happened to the Scheduling?

Certain people in the athletics department are not
happy with the scheduling of the Greek’s rush parties
this weekend, They feel that the team has many, many
games away from home, but the weekend when they are
playing two home games everybody’s got to rush, Since
the athletic schedule is planned very early they feel
an injustice has been done. Where will you be Friday
and Saturday night?

Thanks to the Senate for the money that will enable
us to print two issues a week later in the semester.
It will be a great advantage for this department of the
paper in bringing the most recent sports events.

Cortland Romps Grapplers
Trounces Staters 29-3

by Joe Silverman

The Ped Grapplers traveled to Cortland State Feb-
ruary 8 to wrestle against a powerful Cortland squad.
Cortland, a physical education school, prides itself
on its teams and their wrestlers showed their class
by defeating State 29-3.

They won every match except for one and collected
four pins in the one-sided victory. Gene Monaco, the
Junior from Schenectady, has won his last fifteen
matches and was the only Ped to win his match, In the
match, he won the team’s three points by taking a
decision, The Peds had to forfeit a weight class he-
cause of their inability to fill the 137-Ib. class.

On January 18 the squad traveled to Plattsburgh
State for a match, John Bennett, John Robb and Larry
Thomas led the team to 27-5 victory by pinning their
opponents, They lost the five points because of another
forfeit of weight class,

A week before the Plattsburgh match, the Peds
played host to Oneonta State and defeated them 20-14
in a close match. John Robb and John Bennett again
pinned their opponents and Gene Monaco contributed
with a decision. The Peds were again handicapped
because of their lack of depth and had to forfeit points.

Gene Monaco has yet to be defeated this year and
has helped the team in compiling their impressive
four and one record. He has won four decisions and
Pinned one opponent in his five matches this season,

Frosh Beat Alumni 75-65
Alums Delight The Crowd

Led by Jim Constantino and Mike Bloom the frosh
basketball team staged an overpowering second-half
comeback to defeat the alumni 75-65 , February 8, at
the Armory, Constantino and Bloom, with 24 and 23
points respectively, were the high scorers in the an-
nual contest. Behind 38-32 at halftime, the frosh ow-
scored their opponents 43-27 in the second half.

The alumni were sparked by Gary Holway and Don
Cohen. This certainly was quite predictable since
this pair, in their undergraduate years, were the
most prolific scorers in Albany-State’s history, Hol-
way °59 and Cohen '61 contributed 14 and 12 points
respectively.

to find defeat at the hands of home

off a late rally to hold their winning

boards, ripped the nets with twenty

A GUIDE FOR THE GUIDERS

One of the most interesting acudemic theories advanced in
many a long year has recently been advanced by that interest-
ing academic theorist, E. Pluribus Ewbank, Ph. D. who holds
the chair of Interesting Academic Theories at the St. Louis
College of Footwear and Educational Philosophy. Dr. Ewbank
snid in the last issue of the learned journal, the Mount Rushmore
Guide to Scholastic Advancement and Presidents’ Heads, that we
might be approaching the whole problem of student guidance
from the wrong direction,

Dr, Ewbank, a highly respected pedagogue and a lifelong
smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes, (L mention Marlboros for two
reasons: first, to indicate the seope of Dr. Ewbunk's brainpower.
Out of all the dozens of brands of cigarettes available today
Dr, Ewbank has had the wit and taste to pick the one with the
most flavorful flavor, the most filtracious filter, the most. soft
soft puck, the most flip top Flip Top box: I refer, of course, to
Marlboro. The second reason [ mention Marlboro is that T get
paid to mention Marlboro in this column, and the laborer, you
will agree, is worthy of his hire.)

But I digress. To return to Dr, Ewhunk's interesting theory,
he contends that most college guidance counselors are inclined
to take the eaxy way out. That is to suy, if a student's aptitude
tests show a talent for, let us say, math, the student is encour-

aged to major in math. If his tests show an aptitude for poetry,
he is directed toward poetry. And so forth.

Al wrong, says Dr, hank. The great breakthroughs, the
startling innovations in, let us say, math, are likely to be made
not by mathematicians whose thinking, afterall, is eonstraines

For instance, seta poet to studying math. He will bring afresh,

Hy way of evidence, Dr. Ewhank eites the ease of Cipher
Binary, a youth who entered college with brilliant test seores in
Physics, chemistry, and the exleulus. But Dr, Ewhank foreed

The results were astonishing, Here, for example, is young

given their first Albany showing dur-
ing that year.

Of necessity, this excludes films
seen on television or through the
International Film Group, excep-
tional though many of them may be.

Best Films

Keeping this in mind, the ten
best films, followed by the direc-
tor’s name and country of origin,
are

The Condemned of Altona (Vit-
torio de Sica, It.)

The Eclipse (Michelangelo An-
Toniont, It.)

Hud (Martin Ritt, Am.)

A Kind of Loving (John Schles-
inger, Br.)

The Leopord (Luchino Visconti,
It.)
Lilies of the Field (Ralph Nelson,
Am.)

Long Day's Journey into Night,
(Sidney Lumet, Am.)

This Sporting Life (Lindsay An-
derson, Br.)

Tom Jones (Tony Richardson, Br.)

The Trial (Orson Welles, Am,)

An interesting sidelight is the
growing international character of
films, which inakes it increasingly
difficult to pinpoint a picture’s ori-
gin,

Altona, for instance, has a Ger-
man, an Italian, and two Americans
in major roles, is directed by an
Italian, written in English by an
American from a French play, and
filmed in Germany on American and
Italian money. Leopard and Trial
have the same problem, as will
several productions now being
filmed,

O’Neil’s play as its script, is as
full of drama and fine acting as the
films of Tennessee Williams’ plays
used to be. Jason Robards, Jr, is
Best Actor of the year for his per-
formance as the alcoholic elder son
He just barely overshadows Ralph
Richardson, as his father in the
same film, and Richard Harris, in
Sporting Life.

Katherine Hepburn, as the insane
inother in Long Day's Journey pets
the vote for Best Actress. A good
performer in the thirties and for-
lies, Miss Hepburn seems to get
even better with age,

There ts little or no competition
for Best Supporting Actress and
Margaret Rutherford wins ina land-
slide of falling suiteases: and slip-
Ping slouch hats (in The V.L.P.'s).

Best Supporting Actor is) Hugh
Griffith, as the boorist hog of wa
man (Squire Weston) 11 Tom Jones,
He's disyusting, funny, and quite
believable,

G.B. Shaw Bright Spot
In Set of A-D Plays

by Skip Schreiber

The problems of presenting a one-
act play often reduce the returns
so substantially that one wonders
why productions were ever at-
tempted. So be it with two of the
AD plays,

In ‘The Happy Journey from
Trenton to Camden,’’ the fault is in
the play, not in the production, al-
though that did have a few strings
begging to be tied.

The work is a diluted Our Town,
with many good features rather in-
eptly removed, What purports to
show ‘‘mother’’ as the backbone of
American society turns out to be
little more than the daily soap
opera, complete with mother brush-
ing a tear away.

Judy Stone’s direction gave much
support to a poor script, although
five people bouncing about on chairs
seemed more like first-graders de-
siring to avail themselves of the
facilities, rather than a family on
a short trip, Jamie Littlefield and
Gail Giancola deserve particular
credit for their portrayals of Ar-
thur and Caroline,

Ibsen Out of Context

Taking a scene from a three-act
play and expecting two people to
provide the same depth and inten-
sity as if they had acted the entire
play is a bit foolish, When one
does a cut from an Ibsen play,
the result borders on the ludicrous.

Cheryl Werbin and Stuart Solo-
mon, in the last scene from A
Doll's House, were stiff and seemed
to be bored and completely out of
contact’ with the mea of the
play, Moreover, the obscure pro-
gram note probably helped them as
much as it helped the audience.
Under the circumstances, Pat Pez-
aulo’s direction was adequate,

‘Bertha’ Dead from Start
Tenessee Williams seems to have

found a gold mine in the south and
has for years been mining it with
all sorts of doubtful, neurotic wo-
men. In ‘Hello from Bertha,’’
which is rather dull and uninter-
esting, he presents us with three
prostitutes, one of whom is dying,
Unfortunately, the play also is mori-
bund,

Poor Bertha’s activities have fi-
nally caught up with her; and all the
attention she gets is a gripe from
the proprietor that she is uneco-
nomically occupying a bed. Perhaps
the play has some deep meaning
for all America, but it is certainly
cleverly hidden an‘ positively ob-
scured,

Amelia Weiss and Susan Mets
were excellent as Bertha and Goldie,
but Moya Zubowich seemed bored
with the entire business. Nathan
Puckett’s direction was excellent,
and the results were obvious.

Shaw Best of Evening

Although Shaw is not particularly
hoted for his shorter plays,” Pas-
ston, Position and Petrifaction’’
should be on everybody's shelf, In
it, he combines amateur theatrics,
Uime-worn, corny lines and bitin,
satire on English aristocracy. His
wit crackles throughout the play,
and the delight lingers on,

Bob Willower’s directions care-
fully considered and integrated the
facets of the play to produce a fine
theatrical gem. Mary Setter, as
Lady Magneisa, was positively de-
lightful, and the rest ofthe cast sup-
ported her role excellently. It was
one of those few productions in which
everything combines to produce an
excellent performance

The second set of AD plays was
technically superior to the first
set. Part of this 1s undoubtedly
due to the platforms which re-
mained from USA, affording a var-
fety of staging and scenery im-
possible with ouly one level.
