U. S. PRESTIGE IN ASIA IS
DUE FOR BOOST AS RESULT
OF PROMPT MILITARY HELP
i By JORN L. STROHM
NEA Special Correspondent
President Truman’s prompt mil
ftary steps in the Far East will
boost United States prestige
throughout Asia and strengthen
the hand of anti-Communist forces
from Formosa to Ceylon.
In every country I visited on my
recent 10-week survey of Asiatic
hot srots, leaders expressed doubt
and fear of U. S. determination to
see the battle through in that area.
A leading Chinese businessman
of Malaya summed it up:
“We never know which way the
United States will jump.”
Now they know.
The masses of Asiatics—and to
some extent even their leaders—
have no deep convictions regard
ing democracy or communism,
They want a full rice bowl, a
house to sleep in, a water buffalo
tdmpull their plow. The average
“man in the rice fields” of India
or Siam has no more political edu
cation than his buffalo.
His leaders are prone to follow
a band wagon policy. They want
to be aboard the biggest and loud
est band wagon; they want to side

That is why the stiffest fight
against Communist gurrillas
which I saw in Southeast Asia was
being waged under British leader
ship in Malaya and French lead
ership in Indo-China. )
In the dispatches which I wrote
for NEA Service and this news
paper on my return, I stressed the
importance of aid to the French
in Indo-China. President Truman
has now moved to accelerate as
sistance to fight the Reds on that
battle line. Rich resources in food,
rubber and oil are thus being pro
tected.
I am sure that a majority of free
Asiatic leaders will welcome the
American initiative even though
it may appear at first look to bring
hot war closer. Uncertainty in
some cases played the Russian
game by sowing doubt.
General Douglas MacArthur
made it clear to me when I vis
ited his headquarters in Tokyo
that he felt sooner or later it
would be necessary to take a stand
against Communist agression—the
sooner the better.
I am sure, based on my visit,
MONDAY THRU THURSD
that the North Korean attack upon
South Korea did not take MacAr
thur’s headquarters by surprise.
He expected the Russians to prod
and push for soft spots. He also
believed that they were not pre
{Jjared to get into war with the
nited States.
coutry-by-country resulttsseht, ria
As I see it, these are ihe
country-by-country results of the
U.S. action on Korea:
..Formosa — China Kai Shek’s
Nationalists are given a breathing
spell behind the shield of the 7th
Fleet. They are saved from the
menace of amphibious attack and
at the some time can strengthen
their forces for later eventuali
ties,
Indo-China — The French de
fenders of Viet Nam must be close
to physical and financial exhus
tion and the acceleration of mil
tary aid ordered by President
Truman should be real if it is to
be effective. The French com
mander there urged: “One supply
ship next week - rather than- 20
when it is too late.” That was in
April.
Malaya—Rubber planters will
be heartened to continued the fight
against Red-led gurrilas. The
large Chinese population of Ma
lay which has been fence sitting
should be deeply impressed.
India, Indonesia and Burma—ls
the old American gesture wins,
the weak new native governments
will be given time to grow up.

for the A.A.R.S. award, and from this number the Top Ten

The New York
- Theater -
“The Member of the Wedding,”
recent Pulitzer Prize winner, is a
timely sensitive character study
of a loney adolescent girl. The
play was written by a Georgian,
Carson McCullers, who drama
tized her own novel.
Bhe story deals with Frankie
Addams, a motherless, imagina
tive, highly emotional twelve
year-old tomboy in a small town
in Georgia in August, 1945. Fran
kie’s loneliness is intensified when
her only brother, a soldier, whom
she adores, comes home with his
fiancee to be married. Frankie,
hungry for companionship and ad
venture, is determined to accom
pany the bridal couple on their
honeymoon and to live with them,
and she is overwhelmed with des
perate grief when she finaliy real
izes that this is impossible. How
ever, when school reopens in the
fall she makes new bosom friends,
gets a boy friend and her feelings
of loneliness and of ‘“not belong
ing” vanish. -
Ethel Waters, stage and screen
star who was recently seen in
Athens in the movie “Pinky,”
gives a wonderful performance as
Berenice, the colored mammy who
reared the motherless Frankie.
Her apparently effortless imper
gonation reaches the heights of
great acting. She seems to live
the role of the kindly, patient,
understanding, wise mammy.
Julie Harris, a comparative
newcomer to Broadway, is magni
ficent as the turbulent Frankie.
Although Miss Harris is in her
twenties, she is extraordinarily
convincing as a twelve~year-old
and she never destrovs this illu
sion. Eight-year-old Brandon De
Wilde proves himself a remarka
ble actor in the role of John Hen
ry, a neighbor boy whom Frankie
deins to play with for lack of
playmates her own age. His per
formance is amazingly natural and
even when he i§ not acting but
merely sitting quietly in a corner
:;t remains in charactér through-
The sensitive writing, wonder
ful acting and Harold Clurman’s
intelligent direetion all contribute

Musical Tragedy
“Lost in the Stars,” with music
by the late Kurt Weill and words
by Maxwell Anderson, is a
thought-provoking musical trag
edy of great power and dramatic
'sweep. Based on Alan Paton’s
‘novel, “Cry, the Beloved Country,”
it stars Todd Duncan and Leslie
Banks,
Todd Duncan plays the role of
Stephen Kumalo, upright and re
spected Negro pastor in a small
village in South Africa, whose on
ly son, sAbsalom, goes to Johan
nesburg to earn money in the gold
mines to continue his education.
There he falls in with bad com
pany and when discovered robbing
the home of Arthur Jarvis, a
friend of the Negroes, he shoots
Edward in wild panic. Stephen is
torn between the desire to save his
son’s life by advising him to plead
not guilty, which will free him,
and between his moral obligation
to advise hs son to tell the truth,
which means hanging. His moral |
sense triumphs and his son is
hanged. When Stephen tells his
congregation that he must leave
them because of his family’s dis
grace, Arthur’s father James, who
heretofore has never felt kindly
toward Negroes, undergoes a
change of heart because of Ste-‘
phen’s goodness and love for his
fellow man. He urges Stephen to
stay on as pastor and pledges to
help him in his work among his
people. |
Todd Duncan, who skyrocketed
to fame as Porgy in “Porgy and
Bess' years ago, scores still an
other triumph both as actor and
singer in his present role. The part
of the courageous, noble Stephen
gives him wide scope and his in
terpretation is powerful, impas
sioned and very moving.
Leslie Banks gives a fine per
formance as James Jarvis, the
Englishman who learns to love hig
fellow man through the example
of the humble Stephen,
The execellent cast includes Inez
Matthews, who contributes her
beautiful soprano in the role of
Absalem’s sweetheart, and a ten=
vear-old, Herbert Coleman, whose
splendid voice and acting ability
Sto'Fh:be show in oneé scene.
* music, which inclines tow
ard the popular, expresses the ac
tion vividly and is perfectly in
tegrated with it. Rouben Mamou~
lian directed the production im
pressively, giving it at times the
qualities of a great dramatie

red is still America’s faverite rose color. Taffeta is carmirie;

Arena Theater
Theatre-in-the-round, which fs
no longer a novelty insmany parts
of the country, including Atlanta,
has at last eome to Broadway. Tt
is the Arena Theatre, in the Edi
son Hotel's former ballroom, where
leading stars will be featured in
a wide variety of offerings for
three-week runs.
The opening attraction was At
lanta=born Lee Tracy in an expert
revival of George Kelly’'s “The
Show-Off.” Mr. Tracy gave a
keen, penetrating performance as
to the brash Aubrey Piper, $32.50
a week clerk who constantly poses
as a big shot and who in the end,
through that very posing, makes
his brother-in-law’s invention a
tremendous financial suecess. '
Jane Seymour gave a wonder
fully life-like portrayal as Au
brey’s unimpressed mother-in-law
who is constantly exposing Au
brey’s tall sales and bringing him
dewn to earth. is a keen pleas-~
ure to wafch these highly accom
plished performers:from the close
range which the arena-iype thea
tre affords.
They were supported by an out- ’
standing ecast which included
Frances Waller as Amy. Aubrey’s |
adoring wife; Carmer. Mathews as
her sister, and Archie Smith as
the inventive brother-in-law. Mar
tin Manulis’ direction had spirit
and vitality. The play, which had
its premiere 26 years ago, does
not seem at all dated in this pro
duction.
The Arena Theatre’'s second
production, starring Basil Rath
bone in “Julius Caesar,” which
will run through July 9, wiil be
reviewed here soon. Judging from
the success of the Arena Theatre,
theatre-in-the-round has come to |
Broadway to stay. [
“Border Street” !
“Border Street,” making its |
American premiere at the Little ;‘
Cine Met, is a profoundly moving |
Polish film which tells the terri- "\
ble story of the Warsaw Ghetto !
uprising and the Nazis' slaughter ‘
of the Jews in Warsaw in 1943. ;
It depicts how the Jews were |
ordered from their homes .and |
herded into the walled ghetto, the |/
inhuman living conditions there,
the Jews' heroic determination to |
fight for their lives against im
possible odds, and finally the |
burning of the gheito by the|
Nazis and the annihilation of the |
Jews. 1
The film shows several families,
both Jew and Gentile, living in
one Warsaw street, and follows
them before and during the up
rising. The characters in the film
include a Jewish doctor who suc
cessfully conceals the fact that he
is Jewish until he is exposed by
a Nazi sympathizer and dies of
typhus in the ghetto; his daughter
who, although she has escaped the
ghetto, goes there at the risk of her
life to help her father; heroie
young David, who escapes through
a sewer from the burning ghetto
but returns with a gun to give his
life in an attempt to save the ghet~
to’s inhabitants; a Jewish tailor
who risks his life to help an un
derground Police officer escape.
The acting is intensé and power=-
ful.
