BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM

NEW YORK—For a comedy which manage* to be not infrequently funny and a drama which moves forward with shy interrnlttence, Franz Wertel'i "Jacobowsky and the Colonel" ia an infuriatingly good bad play or, if you like, a bad good one. Thete are a dozen Irritatingly misdrawn character*. There are many act apeechea a* dlsingenioualy contrived a* a quilt dlzplay at a county fair. There is an ancient who declaima now and again like a Greek chorus, but instead of muttering doom he talk* tike the editorial writer of a genteel liberal weekly. Jacobowaky has stepped, without much alteration, from the page* of Eugene Sue's “Wandering Jew,” and the Colonel and his orderly out of "Don Quixote." The only difference appear* to be that the colonel play* a fiddle and hi* Roiinantc is a dilapidated Renault. Werfel synthesized Jacobowaky to give tragic point to the fate of hundred* of thousands of refugees in Europe. He's made him a funny, touching, disturbing little man, bom in Poland, brought up in Berlin, starting life again and again wherever the Nazi pushed him—Vienna. Prague, Paris. But by the time he came before the audience he was also a refugee from a number of well-meaning playwrights, probably S. N. Behr man, responsible for the American version of the play, and Clifford Odets who, we understand, did some tinkering with IL So Jacob owluy reaches ua a sort of bilingual bouillabaise, revealing his source* without shame, Ingratiating himself into each new incarnation, and finally making Uw audience feel very sorry indeed that he couldn't have done what he diu with lesa contrivance from too sympathetic If not completely understanding pullers of strings. Jacobowsky ia caught in Parte, with a seemingly endier* and mysterious supply of money, a*

I veal* that Britian ha* given more I than 31.000.000.0f0 In service* and i supplies to the United State*. | The report, d.sHgni-d to »how I that the lend lease I* not a oneway afreet, also discloses that Britain donated 10 percent of her war expenditure* to the United Na« t.on* pool. She sent more than S7OO.OOOJ>OO worth of supplies to Russia by the end of June. 1943. There also were donations to Greece. Czechoslovakia. Free France. Poland and Jugoalavia. o X-ray* were discovered In 1995 by Profrasor Wilhelm Roentgen, of the medical department of Wurz--1 burg university In Germany.

the Nazis advance. He buy* ar. ancient Renault from a chauffeur, overcomes the natural knightly reluctance of Colonel Tadeusz Boleslav Stjerbinaky to go along for the ride, takes the colonel'* orderly, Szabuniewicz along, naturally, and is unable to convince the colonel that driving right into the German lines to rescue his French Dulcinea is foolhardy. The colonel to important japers to deliver to the Polish government in exile in London. But he goes to pick up his “mujer amada," and they all proceed to St. Jean de Luz to board a lugget for England. They don't all get on, and it wouldn't be fair to tell you what happens, even if you could get most of what the play has to say by reading Sue and Cervantes with a picture of Der Fuehrer before you. Mr. Werlel manages, at odd moments, to make the trip and the tribulations believable, but on the whole, one leaves the theatre with the sense of having seen a bad play beautifully performed. Oscar Karlwei* is a touching and often amusing Jacobowsky. Louis Calhern might well have stepped out of the pages of the Spanish classic, and Annabella is a charming Duh dnea. The staging of Elia Kazan struggles manfully with a diffuse and sometimes maddeningly balky play and gets some semblance of order and movement out of IL It "Jacobowsky and the Colonel" had been a better play, and bad received better transition from the German page* to the American stage, it might conceivably have been the season’s best. As it is, the best we can Mty for it is that it’s superbly mounted, acted and directed. Thia ought to keep It going for the balance of the season. What the movies will do to it when it Is finally translerrcd to the screen te something to dream about.
