DENNIS COLH Everything finally fell in place. tresses are more viable than American actors. Uta Hagan, for instance, can do anything that any English actress can do with her voice and in performance." The proof of Weaver's kind words about American performers was sampled in a dramatic television pudding when CBS-TV telecast Arthur Miller's powerful drama of the Salem witchcraft trials, "The Crucible.1' Any acting fans who had doubts about American performers had them dispelled Thursday night when they saw Weaver, George C. Scott, Collean Dewhurst, Henry Jones, Melvyn Douglas and Tuesday Weld turn in such fine performances that Miller wrote a long, long letter of praise about the show of director Alex Segal. So come Americans, let's have a Be-Kind-to-American-Ac-tors Week.

There is no play for seven" "What about six?" asked North. "Unless I am very unlucky, I'll make the slam," replied South. Then he proceeded to draw trumps, cash the remaining high diamond and spades, ruff the last spade and lead a club from his hand. West followed with the deuce and went up with dummy's ace, A club return disclosed the ad club break and South was down one.

NEW YORK Fritz Weaver, whose proven acting talent allows him to speak without any trace of sour grapes, feels the American public is too hard on American actors.

Because the British are train-ed in the classics, they are spoken of with awe in many theatrical circles. "They have more opportunities to play classics. That's not a path that is open to most American actors or they would take it." Weaver is one of the Americans who has been trained in classical theater. For the past 10 years he has been asked to participate in the Stratford, Shakespeare Festival. "But that's not the 'hot part of the theater in America.

In England it is. "And to say that British actors are superior in the use of their voices is to minimize the situation.

A spade or diamond return would give South a ruff and discard; a low club return would lose to South's eight while a high club return would run around to dummy's ace and Souths king eight would be right in back of East's last two clubs for a proven finsssc. Suppose West held four clubs and East's honor was a singleton.

Then East wouldn't have a club to lead back and would have to give a ruff and discard. How should South play the hand if West plaved the ton when the first club was led? Easy.

Joseph R. McCarthy.

It continued to pack anger and frustration in its television adaptation on CBS Thursday night. The play, adjusted adroitly to meet television's needs by Miller, made its point by going back to an earlier witchhunt in Salem, at the close of the 17th century. It was a story of superstition that fostered hysteria, of frightened and cruel people, and the message was implicit throughout. Miller felt, however, he must restate it in the final word of the two-hour and 15-minute drama: "Wherever men have lost all faith in one another, the ancient cry of witch still hovers on the wind, and it can still story started with a group giddy girls surprised by the local minister when they were dancing in the wood. They became hysterical, rolled around in seizures and claimed to be possessed.

Then they started naming local housewives as witches. The story centered on John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, powerfully and effectively played by George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst. The woman was accused as a witch by fte ringleader of the girls, played with saccharine viciousness by Tuesday Weld. The hopelessness of the situation was clearly shown.

There was a brutal court composed of a religious fanatic who was judge and jury, and he was surrounded by venal men. There were frightened townspeople seeking only to save their skins. John Proctor moved inexorably toward the gallows, one of the few who stubbornly refused to lie and accuse innocent people to save himself. The drama seemed a little slow in getting off the ground but considerable exposition was needed before the plot could take off. And from time to time the acting of some of the lesser players got a little out of hand as, indeed, did Scott's final very theatrical scenes when he was clanking around in chains.

All in all, however, it was a gripping and stimulating experience. would that the same happy report could be made about "The Human Voice," the one-character play with Ingrid Bergman which ABC broadcast during some of the time when "The Crucible" was shown. Miss Bergman did her level best which is good indeed with a Jean Cocteau piece that had been pulled very thin to last an hour. It was simply a closeup of a woman at the end of an affair holding a desperate, final telephone conversation with her lost love.
