The Evening Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 19

Theater MONDAY, MAY 1U981 B5 THE EVENING SUN The Wnsow Boy' remains a true and interesting story Ck 4 Vrf Lou Ccdrone top-Parkway Theater on North avenue in 1954, and a television version was produced in 1958. At present, the play is being done at the Kennedy Theater, by the Roundabout Theater Company of New York. The same production ran in New York for 19 weeks, then toured Seattle and Philadelphia. It is a good if not exceptional production, one that has been directed by Douglas Seale, who once served as artistic director at Center Stage. The staging is respectable, but the cast is uneven.

Some of the players are expert; others are not. Remak Ramsay, formerly of Baltimore, heads the cast as Sir Robert Morton, the lawyer who agrees to take the Winslow case but only after questioning the boy. Ramsay, making his sixth appearance at the Kennedy, is the best of the evening, British to the upper lip. Giving him very admirable support are Ralph Clanton as the boy's father, Giulia Pagano as Catherine, Ronnie's sister, and James Higgins as Desmond Curry, the lawyer who loves Catherine. "The Winslow Boy" will continue at the Kennedy through May 23.

The play may seem, 34 years later, a little long-winded and desultory, but keeping in mind that it was introduced the year television engulfed the land, it was and remains an interesting, very professional' work. nary citizen might sue the Crown under certain circumstances. If the Crown chose to write "Let right be done" across the petition, the suit could proceed. The Archer-Shees finally had their hearing in the House of Commons, won an open trial for the boy and won their case. The Rattigan play stuck closely to recorded fact.

It did introduce other issues, some of these of a romantic nature, but the final result was a finely woven piece, one that combined its many elements in what remains a solidly constructed theatrical work. It first appeared in this country in 1947. It tried out at the National in Washington, played Ford's in Baltimore, then went to New York where it ran for several years, winning the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play of the Year. A MOVIE VERSION appeared in 1950, the play was revived by the Hill RALPH CLANTON, DAVID HALLER, REMAK RAMSAY In Terrence Rattigan's best work at the Kennedy TERRENCE RATTIGAN, who died at the age of 66 in 1977, had little luck with his first plays, all of which expired soon after their presentation in London. The British playwright! first successful play, "French Without Tears," ran for several years in England but did little time on Broadway its run there described as "respectable." Next came "Oh, Mistress Mine" which was successful both here and in England, but the playwright's grandest achievement, both in this and his native country, was "The Winslow Boy." Based on an actual incident that took place before World War II, "The Wins-low Boy" was Ronnie Winslow, a 13-year-old accused of having stolen a five-shilling note from another cadet at the military school both attended.

Convinced that his son was innocent, Arthur Winslow, the boy's father, determined to clear the family name at all costs and hired a noted criminal lawyer to defend the child. The family had to make sacrifice. The family fortune was severely thinned, an older son had to leave Oxford, and the daughter's engagement was broken when the young man she loved objected to the notoriety attendant to the case. The family, however, persevered, and the Winslows won their war. IN THE CASE on which the play was based, the family name was Archer-Shee, and the time was 1908.

The Arch-er-Shee boy, son of a Liverpool bank manager, had been dismissed from the Royal Naval Academy at Osborne. He had been accused of stealing five shillings, was "tried" and sent home. Convinced that his son was innocent and eager to clear the family name, the father retained Sir Edward Carson, the famed criminal lawyer who would later try and convict Oscar Wilde. Carson took the case but only after determining that the boy was innocent, and the suit was a difficult one. When he enlisted at the school, the boy had surrendered his right to sue as an ordinary citizen and was in no position to ask for a court martial.

Sir Edward, however, resorted to Petition of Right, a ploy whereby the ordi- The Post serves up a new controversy AMUSEMENTS AMUSEMENTS AMUSEMENTS Today's Movies API X-S. rwiv-OilMt Protw- LITTLI-M.

"We didn't realize we were that well-known. When we heard that the Washington Post was going to sue us I mean, we're just this little restaurant in Madison, Wis." So both sides are gearing up for the case, which is expected to go before a jury in the next few months. Both sides think they are right, and expect to win. Restaurant owner Mullins said: "Why would anyone confuse us with them? We're an eating and drinking place, not a newspaper. Why, you can't even buy the Washington Post in Madison.

He said he has no idea how the suit came about, but he suspects it is because "some stuffy house counsel at the Washington Post has never seen the real world, and thinks we're confusing the people of Madison. But the people of Madison have the good sense to realize that our restaurant is "Washington lawyers are just too legalistic. Here in Wisconsin, we think everyone should have a sense of humor, including lawyers." At the law firm representing the Washington Post newspaper, the attorney in charge is Brady Williamson.

He said: "The restaurant would like everyone to believe that this is a David-and-Goliath case, with the big newspaper going after the little restaurant. "But the fact is, the restaurant is owned by a very successful man. And by using the newspaper's logo and typeface on his menu, he is using the newspaper's name and by inference its reputation. "There are precedents in this case. There was a disco called the New York Times in Orlando, Fla.

In that case, the publication was successful in a lawsuit. This is a trademark infringement action." The man who owns the Washington Post restaurant, Jerome Mullins, is a little shocked to find himself in the midst of a lawsuit. "Apparently the newspaper thinks we're in competition with them," he said.

Michael Winner, English director now working on "Death Wish II," a sequel to a heavily criticized film, is of much the same mind. "It's the times." he says. "These are violent times, and people feel they have to protect themselves From the caveman days to today, there have always been violent times. You can't say the Middle Ages weren't violent, before television or films, so where do you put the blame then-oil paintings and books?"
