THF OBSERVER, SUNDAY, JULY 29, 1956 10 AT THE FILMS Ride all the year round on The Western World MUSIC AND MUSICIANS Ebert's 'Flute' By PETER HEYWORTH At the Theatre Facts of Life SI this passage was instrumental rather than dramatic. Oliver Messel's sets were certainly an improvement on Mr. Piper's curtaining at Covent Garden and the oriental Kitsch at Sadler's Wells. He made a promising start with a striking vista of ruins and distant hills, and his costumes were remarkably successful. But once again he seemed too rarely able to restrain his passion for fussy detail, so that, with the exception of the interior of Sarastro's temple, he never really solved the obstinate problem of mounting monumental scenes in a small space.

While the general style of the sets was valid, the effect was too often of an over-eacumbered stage. Geraint Evans's Papageno was a delightful affair, adroitly plaved and admirably sung; Thomas Hemsley gave a most distinguished performance in the small role of the Speaker; Maltiwilda Dobbs sang Der HiJlle Rache with attack and precision, but her warm personality and voice are In Summer as well as Whiter Fit quiet-riding, go-anywhere Town Country tyres to your rear wheels and benefit all the year round. Town Country do so much for your motoring that no other tyres can do. You'll enjoy quiet cruising with extra-high, trouble-free mileage, protection against skidding uangcrs on greasy summer roaas sneer at it, but nothing you can say will alter it with Chaplin, and the earlier cartoons of Disney.i the Western remains the liveliest creation of the screen. The New Films A CORRESPONDENT writes: Had any director other than John Ford made The Searchers (Warners) it would probably have turned out to be just another Western.

The story, based on a novel bv Alan LeMay, is slight to the point of triviality. A tough ex-Confederate soldier, played by John Wayne, and a half-breed boy search for five years for a white girl stolen by Comanches. In the end they find her. That's all but the formidable learn of John Ford and John Wayne don't need any more than that to make a film that is well out of the ordinary. For his setting, the director chose Monument Valley, the same weird and awesome scenery that he used for "Stagecoach." This time it is shot in magnificent Technicolor, and even if during the two hours it runs the story seems sometimes to sag, and occasionally sprout irrelevancies like freak sideshows at a Fun Fair, the eye never wearies.

The unmistakable mark of the craftsman is there all the time, and here and there some of the smaller characters stand out like details in an Old Master. The performance of Olive Carey, for instance, as the wife of an old Swedish settler, remains in the memory. Already released, but now put on for a run at Studio One. is Disney's The Littlest Outlaw, filmed entirely in Mexico and directed by the Mexican director Roberto Gavaldon. This is an affecting little tale of a Mexican boy's love for an Armv horse that has been condemned to die.

Here. too. the Technicolor is superb. This clearly being Western Week, vou can see at the Rialto another one. that has no particular distinction.

The Proud Ones. With Robert Ryan and Virginia Mayo, it has come straight off the old Horse Opera Conveyor Belt. A WHEEZING chest and an indomitable doctor kept me away from the cinema last week, but they tell me that the new films are all Westerns. Fashions come and fashions go, but Westerns, it appears, go on for ever. Very early in the present century, long before the world had heard of Hollywood, the men who made short moving pictures in New York decided to profit by the great American myth; the myth of the Wild West, in which Buffalo Bill, even while he lived, had become a legendary figure.

An actor called G. M. Anderson, who is reputed never to have mounted a horse before but had a lovely profile, was sent to California, where for three hundred and seventy-six weeks thereafter" he turned oul a one-reel Broncho Billy cowboy adventure story. This vigorous anticipation of Mrs Dale's Diary was followed a year later by the first American long feature slory. It also was a Western, and happened, according to the historians, bv accident.

Because all the rest ot a film dealing wilh the life of Buffalo Bill proved worthless, the section reporting his Wild West show had to be cut out and sold separately It made a small fortune for its producers, and ran to three whole reels Almost fifty years have passed since Ihe Western romance became the type-story of the American cinema, and in spite of constant attempts to supplant il. or hide it from the view of sophisticated visitors, it remains, and I think always will remain, the dominant lypc-stoiv The Western has wonderful powers of survival. It goes on from year to year like the hope of holiday It shares the attraction ot Ihe serial in th.it its lcadir- characters are constant, and only (he incidents vary An actor who becomes associated" with Westerns has every expectation ol a long and popular screen hie ihe fans can never have loo much ot their favourite horse and hero.

TfrtQH tyr El consistently good Television GERALD ABRAHAM has perceptively compared The Magic Flute to a de Quinceyan dream which the ultimate secret of the universe has been revealed only it has unfortunately been forgotten on waking." There is, indeed, a miraculous quality about the opera. At one moment we are laughing at silly little jokes; at the next, without the least warning, we find ourselves standing in tome radiant spiritual landscape. How does it happen, what is the magic cl the Boys' music, and what are he truths we perceive as they sing holde Run. steig It is the very elusiveness of what lies at the core of the opera lhat drives us to it again and again, spellbound by the power of its music to cast momentary light over a distant land to which words will not carry us. After Covent Garden and Sadler's Wells, Glyndebourne has this ear had a go tfor the first lime since before the war) at "The Magic Flute." It is certaink a beiier sung and produced affair than at either of the two London theatres, but lhat is after all only to be expected.

Nevertheless it must in the main he accounted a failure, for the opera's stature does not fully emerge from it. Of the chief participants only Professor Ebert emerges unscathed. His production is fleet-footed, it does much to clarify the libretto's obscurities tit was, for instance, a clever idea to have the three Boys sung, alas, yet again by women glide silently across the stage as the three Ladies tell Tamino and Papageno who is to guide them); and most essential of all, it passes smoothly from discreetly contrived comedy to Sarastro's world of light. Yittorio Gui, 1 suspect, approaches Mozart in rather too reverent a manner. He secured, it is true, immaculate orchestral playing from the R.P.O..

whose woodwind were in fine form and whose strings were as steely and unsensuous as ever, and Papageno's and Monoslatos's arias were accompanied with delicious freshness. But if everything was neatly in place, it was too often quite unruffled by what was happening on the stage. Heaven knows it is rare these days to complain of a conductor's restraint, but 1 cannot believe that so passionate a man of the theatre as Mozart would have had the moment when the three Boys are suddenly disturbed to see Pamina prepanng to kill herself pass by without a flicker of excitement. Of course it is possible to argue that Mozart himself contrived that excitement with a subtle change of rhythm in the violins and a staccato throbbing the bass. But it seemed to me that Signor Gui's approach to Festival A IX EN PROVENCE is its usual sunny self, and this year's festival is particularly easy on the ear.

At the concerts, modern music without tears has been the rule, and so far Hans Rosbaud has produced only one novelty, a brief set of orchestral variations by Webern (op 3(1). We are promised something by Nono, and a Passacaille by the young Frenchman Maurice Jarre, which has a theme based on the somewhat unlikelv letters H.O.N. E.G. G.E.R. (to whose' memory it is dedicated), its rhythmical complexity apparently derives from the fact thai it is in several tempi at once but it could hardly be more complex than Schonberg's wind quintet (op.

26), which was given a stunning performance the other afternoon by soloists of the Baden-Baden orchestra (at a free concert). Cezanne died here fifty years ago, and a commemorative exhibition shows just how much he drew from these lovely surroundings. Nobody who has seen Aix will have forgotten the Mom Ste. Victoire in all its glory but festival visitors will remember, too, the new pride of Aix: its charming open-air theatre where the operas are given Rameau's Platee, a cnmriltf-hfiUcr dating from 1745, is the great success of the season A cruel little tale about a preposterous naiade who takes Jupiter's cvnical advances al their face value, "Platee" pokes fun at opera serin and reveals an unexpected sense of humour in Rameau. costumes, sets and dances are all in perfect taste, and Jean-Pierre Grenier's production has )ust the right blend of grace and comedy Hcmphry Barton.

In the whole of a classic such as The Virginian (and what a classic the silent version made itl) the ineradicable line was When you say that, smile." The rest of the story could be told in action.

Deeds and not words are (he things that matter in horse-opera. It was argued that the Western had no part in an all-singing, all-dancing cinema, with occasional gems culled from the "legitimate" theatre. The argument was proved wrong the very first time a cowboy in a talkie squatted down on his hunkers to try a pan of eggs and bacon. With a sizzle from the soundtrack and an oo-er" from the audience, the Western was victoriously back again. From Broncho Billy to Bill Hart, from "The Iron Horse" to "The Covered Wagon." from Stage Coach to High Noon and Shane." the tradition of the Western runs unbroken; the charm retains its power.

You can define it in a dozen different ways; as a myth, a boy's dream of manhood, a man's dream of liberty, a cavalier tale of puritan fortitude, a puritan's version of cavalier romance.

The forebodings which he expressed in the preface to Pygmalion are coming true; the spoken language is in danger of being swamped by the aitempts of phonetically untaught persons to imitate the plutocracy." Only several hours a week of Professor Higgins on television can save it. With him at his most severe conducting a class of electronic celebrities in Accents" this might be a most popular programme. In the electronic theatre, the lesson is plain You can't go wrong with Shaw.

The Devil's Disciple, which the B.B.C. chose, as part of their celebrations, as last Sunday night's play, may not be a favourite or a particularly characteristic Shaw piece, but its blend of melodrama and ethical jiu-jitsu made first-class television. There was a bit of drag at the very beginning, but as soon as the will was read and the character of Dick Dudgeon established as the sardonic anti-Puritan, anti-hypocrite nihilist saint, il all went like a bomb as they say in the pin-table saloons. Dick was most intelligently played by William Franklyn, who compensated lor his rather thin, biscuity voice by skill I suggestion of devil-may-care philanderer's insouciance. The epi-grammatical General Burgoyne.

one ot those deliciously fat, raisonneur parts which have helped lo make Shaw so popular with actors, was perfectly acted by Andrew Cruikshank. Various staunch, regular dike-pluggers have been stemming the full flood-tide of the silly season. Some of them will be missed during August e.g., Jacqueline Mackenzie, the cleverest and most consistent television performer of the year, who goes into rehearsal after August 3 for Shaw again Fanny's First Play at the Edinburgh Festival. There were two notable breakthroughs last week. The B.B.C.'s Abigail and Roger, which has been filling the top drawer of the repertory of rot for some time, is hereby awarded both ears of the ass and the tail for the episode in which Roger went into the ring against the outsize heavyweight and knocked him out.

Nimbus, the perceptive but scarcely proletarian review that discovered him, suggests he may be that currently rare bird, a natural playwright." His first play, Don't Destroy Me (New Lindsey), set in a Jewish boarding-house in Brixton, was produced on Wednesday. His second play, about a policeman's daughter in Stockwell, is being read by the English Stage Company, and if they do not produce it they may very well commission something else. Though not destroyed he was somewhat maltreated in production. Was Ihe new conventional opening to an unconventional play and the omission of the ghoulish chorus of small slum children the author's own idea 1 Anyway ihe stage was too small to hold the composite living-room-and-landing set without overlapping. David Saire.

taking the hint from the dedication to James Dean, trusted Michael Hastings' talent for making the inarticulate half-sentence expressive and was rewarded, and there are several other admirable performances. Sammy is sixteen, morbidly obsessed wilh the fear that his recent arrival has made things go wrong at home. A neurotic neighbour who lives in Ihe pust provokes him inlo surprising his young stepmother wilh a worthless lover. Unable to reach the neurotic's daughter, an odd, dreamv girl who senses lhat the young must tear a way through the tangle of their parents' lost lives, he plunges into a trauma and crashes downstJirs. Whal emerges is that this new young author, writing of a I background he knows from experi- I ence, can pile up the frustrated and I despairing atmosphere of adolescence 1 like a young Tennessee Williams.

Julia Worth caught ihe adamant idealism of educated adolescence, and Ellen Pollock made nonsense of the cliche that Shaw is all ideas and no real emotion. Shaw's argument that the shocking facts of life are not so much erotic as economic will soon be brought up to date on (he same lively stage. Bertolt Brecht's Good Woman of Sctzuan takes up the theme where Mrs Warren's Profession leaves off.

Stamford Hill. 16 Sta 5436 Radi 10 By PAUL FERRIS 'J'HE Shaw centenary is providing radio with some rich material and a chance to show off; no other medium could put up such a barrage of comment and performance, and if it were only Back to Methuselah, which has straddled the last fortnight's listening like a prolonged contradiction of most of the neighbouring programmes, it would be something to write home about. Anyone who did write home would add that it must be a long time since so much powerful assurance was packed into a couple of week's listening; once or twice, though, the life-force sounded a banner with a strange device, and though this is hardly possible it sounded occasionally as though one or two of the cast had their tongues in their cheeks.

Peripheral programmes have included a portrait of the sage as seen through Punch, compiled by Terence Tiller. This got off to a bad start by finding il necessary to devise a lecture-of-the-future setting to put over the joke. Punch was Document 113," and there was some elaborate by-play to justify the imaginary lecturer's interest. Why bother, anyway? Why not just tell us. in plain language, what Punch did have to say about Shaw? It was real Third Programme circumlocution; and when the programme got to the point, it was pretty thin, repetitive stuff; and the compiler couldn't resist the temptation to put some uncalled-for judgments in the lecturer's mouth.

Too many broadcasts raise the question of why people bother. The Welsh Home Service has the bright idea of a monthly series called Conversation, with someone well known entertaining friends at home and everyone talking busily. The first, last week, had Berta Ruck as hostess, and and non-U as subject. But why bother, anyway? Because social conventions make an exploitable topic for a hostess with memories? But isn't everyone tired of U-talk? And with all respect to Berta Ruck, must the same names keep cropping up? And anyway, if you have a single dominant personality in your conversation, isn't she sure to make it a one-woman show? There are plenty of remarkable talkcrs-in-private, but radio rarely manages to invade the privacy. Worse still, it rarely looks as if it tried.

living glimpse of Shaw, on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday, a telerecording included in Monday's Panorama, was curiously moving. The benevolence, which was not, perhaps, quite enough stressed in recent tribules, came over very plain; also that heightened, euphoric selfconscious-ness. This was very much a part of his strange hypomanic temperament; it enabled him to bring off a direct personal overture lo the viewer. This, as vou mav have noticed Irom the appalling results that nearly always follow (he attempt, is a most difficult thing to do. Television has been advancing or, perhaps one should say walking backwards across the Irish Sea so fast since then that you hardly associate the Dublin Sage-clown with it at all.

I wonder what use he would be making of the medium if he were still alive. Possibly he would be buying space on Commercial to advertise his phonetic spelling also to teach the Ad-mass how to open their vowels.

The emphasis is on divertissement, hut since ihe choreographer makes Rolhbart look in from time to time with the Drama the fun is spoiled. Drama, in fact, is not this company's strong point.
