Critic picks mister roberts9 As no. 1 play of Broadway season by Jack o Brian new York april 16 a while my Choice for the Best play of the 1947-48 Broadway season is mister Roberts the fact that the new York drama critics Circle overwhelmingly voted last week to give its annual accolade to Streetcar named desire does t ruffle my critical ego a Whit. For a Streetcar named desire is a Superior drama one of Thebes in a decade or More. It was written by Tennessee Williams who thereby wins his second critics Circle award. His the Glass menagerie was the 1944-45 Choice. One other of his _ plays you touched me did t touch any of the critics with an appreciation even similar to that Given his other two plays. Deals in misery Williams is a modern derivative of almost All the past and present dramatists who Deal in misery frustration tragedy insanity per version poverty stage moods which have their feet planted solidly in thematic decay. They Aren t pleasant naturally and must derive their attraction and Impact from the overwhelming catharsis of High melodrama. He writes in the modern idiom with dreamy illusory under tones. His ingredients run the entire Gamut of stage imagination. His detractors,.As Well As enthusiasts of the More realistic theater use the word  but if he deals in tricks and conscious fabrication in Stead of Earnest sincere imagination then Williams has come to a Slick Mastery of his illusory arts in a soviets checking Bremen payments Bremen april 16 is a two Man russian commission has arrived Here to Check reparation shipments from the once huge Desch imag ship building Plant in Bremen.

The shipment was selected by u. S. Department of Agri culture officials who said the seed in tests last year produced twice the yield in Austria that it did in the . Style worthy of someone far beyond his 34 years. One of my reasons for enthusing More energetically about mister Roberts and placing Williams piece somewhere closely behind i that the War play by Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan deals with positive dramatic factors rather than the dissolute degrading even a berated components of a Streetcar named  i found mister Roberts a sincere peek into the frustration of a Crew on a Navy cargo ship who Are kept hard Luck fish can t find mate of same species new Orleans april 16 a pity Little Molli Enisia Formosa Amazon Molly for Short.

Mutiny is a veritable certainty except for the soothing disciplinary ministrations of a Young naval officer played by Henry Fonda who keeps the sailors from the penalty of their natural resentments. A certain amount of heroics a great Deal of Broad comedy and magnificently prepared pathos make up the major moods of this realistic play. It succeeds in presenting its Story with All the Impact of an actual wartime adventure enacted right in front of your eyes.
