TELEVISION IN REVIEW

HOLLYWOOD UPI — John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” was first presented at the Music Box Theater in New York in 1937. Drama critic George Jean Nathan later wrote of it: “It marked its author’s first appearance as a playwright and presented him to a surprised and gratified audience as a dramatist of exceptional character penetration, vibrating dialogue, and general dramaturgical vitality. Few first plays by American authors had produced the impression that this play did; it became the talk of the town overnight.” Three decades have not dimmed the quality of Steinbeck’s beautiful, heartbreaking and intensely human drama. On Wednesday night, ABC-TV presented a two-hour adaptation by John Hopkins, and it was surely one of the highlights of the season. The two principal roles —the feeble-minded but likeable giant of a man (Nicol Williamson) and his protector (George Segal)—were played wonderfully under Ted Kotcheff’s direction. Will Geer, who played the farm foreman (Slim) in the original play, was also in Wednesday night’s production--as Candy, the old man who hopes to join George and Lennie in their dream of a place of their own. And Geer too was superb. Although “Of Mice and Men” was set on a migratory farm in California during the depresion years, it holds up because it is not merely a story of time and plot. The fact that Lennie—because of his great strength— sometimes gets into trouble, and precipitates the climax by

accidentally killing the roving eyed wife of the boss’ son, is not really the essential part of the play. What is truly essential Is the enormous compassion, warmth and pathos generated by Steinbeck’s understanding of the desires of all his characters to have a little sometliing of their own, to do a little something better than they are doing, to dream, to bask in a little love. There are no real villains in the play. Even the motivations of the worst characters are tempered by compassion and understanding. There was sheer poetry — spoken and imspoken—Wednesday night in the feeling of desperate loneliness and yearning on the part of almost everyone who was a key in the play. In addition to the leads, there were fine portrayals by Donald Moffat, Don Gordon, Joey Heatherton, Dana Elcar, Moses Gunn, John Randolph and James Hall. And despite the tragic end— when George fatally shoots Lennie rather than let the farmhands murder him their own way for the wife-killing— there is more of a statement throughout the play about brotherhood, kindness and manlines than in a dozen dramas by today’s hard, desperately chic playwrights. Elmer Rice, the playwright, once suggested to a friend that it was a noble thing for a drama to make men believe that they can be better than they are. It is indeed, especially in an era when most playwrights are doing just the opposite.

Tfee fttafling: East Soutij West N-.sb 1* !♦ 2* 3* 8* «♦ Opening leexl—king of dubs, Die freedom to lead at will from either hand Is a privilege not always available to declarer, and solving’ this problem of entries to one hand or the other is often the critical factor in the outcome of a contract. Here is a typical situation. South is in four hearts and the defense starts with the king and another club, which declarer

ruffs.

South would like to take two spade finesses as well as lead a diamond toward his king, but he

turn only two entries to dummy Cor these three operations. The proper way to solve this problem is to lead a heart to dummy at trick three and return the two of spades, finessing the jack after East follows low. West wins with the queen and can do no better than return a club, which declarer ruffs. South reenters dummy with a trump and now. leads toe ten of spades on which he plays toe five after East has followed low. This is South's second lead ftom dummy. When toe finesse succeeds, he discontinues spades and leads a diamond toward his king. Since East has toe ace. South succeeds in his mission; the only tricks he loses are a spade, a diamond and a club. Note that if East goes up with the king on toe second round of spades, South wins in his hand with the ace and returns to dummy with a low spade to make toe decisive diamond play

toward toe king.

Note also that if declarer starts the spades by leading the ten from dummy and playing low from his hand, he eventually finds that toe next time he gets to dummy he can return either a spade or a diamond but cannot do both, and he therefore winds up going down one.

Wei, hon, to my way of thinking, you measure the cream before whipping it. That’s the way I always do mine If the recipe calls for WHIPPED cream, of course I beat it before adding. Heloise • • • • Here’s how I mark projection slides to prevent their being backwards or upside down when flashed on the screen. After making sure that all slides are facing correctly, I take the stack as they are to be placed in the projector and cut off a little of the upper right hand comer of each one.

Dear Heloise: I want to share a discovery I made while trying to straighten the veil on one of my “whimsy” hats. I made a round pillow of tissure paper, put the hat over it and pinned the bottom of the veil to the paper. Then sprayed it with hair spray and let it dry on the paper. Worked beautifully in straightening it. This method avoids stretching, which usually happens when pressed with an iron. Edie Mandel
