JOHN CECIL HOLM'S "The Southwest Corner," which opened the
Drama Season last evening, is a charming, if somewhat faulty
play, that provides a framework for three brilliant performances.
Mr. Holm's often touching work is a simple story of a proud and
aged Vermont woman who finds her way of life being destroyed by a
small-town matron bent on changing what she does not understand into

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Youth Dominates at DC Confab
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON - Seldom have
so many alert young governors
gathered in Washington as during
the recent Gubernatorial Confer-
ence. Among the most impressive
youngsters were Hall of Kansas,
Foss of South Dakota, Republi-
cans; Leader of Pennsylvania,
Muskie of Maine, Freeman of Min-
nesota, Simms of New Mexico,
Faubus of Arkansas, all Demo-
crats.
Also oldtimer "Soapy" Williams
of Michigan, still young but serv-
ing his fourth term; Meyner -of
New Jersey, who now acts like an
oldtimer; and such elder states-
men as Ed Johnson of Colorado,
now in his 70's but just elected,
and McFarland of Arizona, who
was both Senator and governor . -
Averell Harriman of New York,
who looks almost as young as
Leader of Pennsylvania, showed
confidence and maturity, made an
impression on colleagues. One year
ago he was less assured. Now he
stood firmon issues, talked brief-
ly and forcefully.
* * *
GEORGE CRAIG of Indiana,
close friend of Eisenhower, did his
best to put through the General
Clay Highway Program, got an as-
sist from GOP governors Knight
of California and Langlie of Wash-
ington. But Democrats Meynerj
(N.J.), Faubus (Ark.), Clement
(Tenn.), and others talked the
highway down. It didn't even come
up for a vote.
Governor Simms (N. Mex.) was
at dinner with Speaker Sam Ray-
burn when Rayburn paid tribute
to his "graduates"-the Senators
who had trained under him in the
House of Representatives and gone
on to the U.S. Senate. Raybur'n
didn't know it, but young Gover-
nor Simms trained' as Speaker of
the New Mexico House of Repre-
sentatives. Politicos are talking of
him for the Senate if and when
elder statesman Dennis Chavez
retires.
Delightful Gov. Faubus was at-
tending a party given by the Ar-
kansas society. Reared on a chick-
en farm where his 67-year-old
father still raises chickens, Faubus
said: "When I was a kid I cut
timber for the Fulbright Lumber
Co., and didn't have the money to
go to a University like the senior
Senator from Arkansas. So I had
to go to Commonwealth College."
THE STATEMENT got a roar
from Arkansans for two reasons:
1. Senator Fulbright, who is a dis-
tinguished Rhodes Scholar and
former University President, made
his money through a lumber com-
pany which pays notoriously low
wages; 2: Commonwealth College
had the reputation of being a pro-
Communist institution, and sincej
Governor Faubus as a youngster
went there for nine days, ex-Gov-
ernor Cherry threw it up against
him during the election campaign,
when Faubus was called a Com-
munist . . . However, the charge
backfired and elected Faubus -
only the second time in 118 years
that a candidate has defeated an
Arkansas Governor for re-election.
Governor Shivers flew to Wash-
ington in a chartered 34-seat
Braniff Plane, with only his public
relations man, Jimmy Banks, and
the latter's two children along. In
Washington, he wooed other gov-
ernors, and for the most part won
them.

what she does.
Eva LeGalliene, as the majest:
formance that shows in every way
why she is considered one of the
great ladies of the stage.
WITH DIGNITY and insight,
Miss LeGalliene portrays a very
real woman whose life is devoted
to kindness and understanding.
Her peaceful existance in a home
steeped in tradition and memory
is suddenly disrupted by the ar-
rival of a very brash and bubbly
woman who has been hired as a
companion to care for her in her
old age.
The "companion" played won-
derfully by Enid Markey, is a pes-
semistic, talkative female from a
small town in Massachusetts, and
she turns into one of the most un-
usual villains ever created.
She is not evil, but unthinking
and inconsiderate, and in her left-
handed manner she manages to
tear down all that is proud and
grand. Miss Markey's loquacious
creation is an amazing bit of work
and as she pursues her destruc-
tive path, she manages to be re-
markably funny and horribly real.
THE THIRD magnificent crea-
tion is in the hands of the vener-
able Parker Fennelly. His por-
trayal of a tight-lipped handyman
who manages to get terrificly in-
volved in the proceedings is a gem
of great comedy.
* * *
THE PLAY itself is inclined to
drag and drop down in spots. Al-
though always direct and believ-
able, it loses power in its repeti-
tion of the conflict. To be sure, the
threat increases as the acts pro-
gress, but there are times where
the telling of it lags..
Ray Boyle and Judith Hunter
provide the love interest which
appears to be a silly bit of froth
until the end of the play when it
is tacked on handily.

AT THE STATE:
Betty,

"THREE FOR the Show" is a
fairly standard Hollywood
musical, complete . with chorus
girls, songs, flashy production
numbers, and a plot which dates
back to the birth of the cinema
world.
Betty Grable is seen as a Broad-
way musical star who marries Go-
wer Champion when hubby Jack
Lemmon is reported killed in ac-
tion. Soldier Lemmon, however, re-
turns. It takes Miss Grable one
and a half hours to choose be-
tween the two, which is a fairly
long while to stretch out a worn-
out gag.
Choreographer Jack Cole has
provided the film with some lively
musical offerins. The best, a Har-
leqgin and Columbine jazz ballet
with Miss Grable and Marge and
Gower Champion, is, unfortunate-
ly, buried beneath screen credits
for the most part.
* * *
THERE IS ALSO a big Swan
Lake modern ballet done by the
Champions which is so big it al-
most leaves the huge Cinema-
Scope screen. The Champions also
do a whirling dance to "Some-
one To Watch Over Me," which is
somewhat marred by Miss Champ-
ion's attempt at "cuteness," puck-
ered lips, saucer-shaped eyes, and
an incessant stream of chatter.
Miss Grable appears in a male
harem dream sequence, "Down
Boy," and a South American spe-
cialty, "How Come You Do Me
Like You Do?" She also slithers
through a breathy, "I've Got A
Crush On You."
The old Grable personality, with
the flashy smile and the famous
legs, is very much in evidence. Miss
Grable, while hardly an outstand-
ing artist, is a nimble performer
who uses her film experience to
best advantage, and her numbers
exhibit the humor and vitality
that have long been her trade
mark.
"Three For the Show," while it
lacks the originality and spon-
taneity of a top-notch production,
is, nonetheless, an amusing di-
version.

afternoon of the scenic can-

Orff was the outstanding artistic
event of the May Festival. Thor
Johnson conducted the perform-

exciting reading of this imposing
twentieth century masterpiece,
The cantata is a strikingly ef-
fective musical setting of thir-

chorus and three soloists, it is
scored for a large orchestra aug-

SECRETARY OF STATE Dulles said last week
he believes the Soviet performance with
regard to Austria, "may be indicative of a
change of mood which may extend to other
areas."
He noted an air of expectancy in the world
that "the time may be nearing when those who
have been seeking the conquest of freedom will
in fact put their foreign relations on a more
tolerable basis."
Soviet maneuvers in foreign affairs have, in-
deed, produced such an air of expectancy. But

Soviet internal propaganda gives an entirely
different impression.
IN RECENT WEEKS, anti-American propa-
ganda in the Soviet press, intended for in-
ternal consumption, has been at its most vio-
lent. The same may be said of the press of the
satellite countries.
The order of the day for the Soviet Commu-
nist party, as expressed in the latest edition
of its monthly Kommunist, runs:
"Our party and government follows the
teaching of Lenin, to watch alertly and con-
stantly over our armed strength and defense
ability of the Soviet land, as the apple of our
eye.
"THE STRENGTHENING of the defense
might of the Socialist state, the retention of
the defense abilities of our valiant armed forces
at the level dictated by the interests of our
motherland and international conditions, and
the modern development of. military science
constitute one of the main tasks of the Commu-
nist party and the Soviet government."
All through such articles runs the theme that
there is no doubt that Soviet communism one
day will envelop the whole world as Lenin fore-
cast.
Why, then, the eagerness to conclude the
Austrian pact?
THE TACTIC is indicated. The main problem
in Europe is Western Germany and the pros-
pective arming of 12 German divisions under
NATO, the way Moscow looks at the situation.

Mr. Ormandy has continually cho-

Festival. It wa': a program given
over to opera, and to a standards
work from symphonic literature.
Rise Stevens' selections were all
operatic, almost all from Carmen,
all works she has sung in Ann Ar-
bor before, all works which the au-
dience expects her to sing no mat-
ter where she performs. As such
the audience got just what it ex-
pected. Her carmen has not chang-
ed in the past few years; it is
not a role in which one grows any-
way. Her ability to get all the the-
atricality from the part is of
course unchallenged.
