The Boston Snndar Globe June 7. 14 Musical at Colonial How Actor Hal England Succeeds in Business By MARGO MILLER Ony Sunday morning in Jacksonville, Hal England's clock radio turned itself on. A minister was v. a I i is i -t i i I 5 V. A t- -r' lj rs-i denouncing a young man called J.

As England was playing Finch in the musical I "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," he was startled, then bewildered, and finally angered. 1 I MILLEB A a BntmtcntinmnnimixiimimtiUimauaHtuua Story of Strikes In 'The Organizer' "The Orfanizer," the story ef one of the first strikes of the industrial revolution, will open it the Park Sq. Cinema and the Cinema Kenmorc Square, Wei, June 24. The story takes place in Turin and Marrello Mastroi-anni stars as the organizer of the down-trodden working class in 19th century Italy.

Annie Giradot and Renato Salvatori also star in the film, which was selected as the best picture of the Argentine Film Festival IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlO This Week's Concerts at The Garden A recital by John Hsu, viola da gamba, and Rudolph Kremer, harpsichord, today at 3 in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will comprise music of Telemann, Marais, Chihara and Bach.

Norma Giusti, soprano, accompanied by pianist Emanuel Zambelli, will be heard next Sunday in music of Handel, Schumann, Britten and Mozart.

i 'if I'm tired and not 'up in the part. I'll do a line or some 'business as Bobby did it. Then I just want to cut my tongue out." Rehearsing Finch in his own right, England started doing the charming schemer straight. "Not a personality boy. But Abe tne director, said I was making Finch too real.

He's supposed to be larger than life, not real, with no family, a virgin. You know, you see him first coming down on the window washer's harness like a man from outer space." Burrows was guiding the actor through a scene in which Finch stands up a secretarya "female Finch," as England puts it to grab an invitation to lunch in the' Executive Dining Room. The satire wouldn't come. Until Burrows noticed that far from-playing Finch on the make, England made him look hungry. Maybe, Maybe The movies got Hal England into the theater.

In Kings Mountain, N.C., the Piedmont region of the state where he was born and raised, he was crazy in love with movie stars." A pre-law student at the University of North Carolina, England was in campus shows, occasionally "embarrassed that I wanted to be on the stage. But then I thought when I got old I'd look back and be ashamed I didn't try for what I wanted to do. I'd be a coward." Road companies putting in at Chapel Hill gave England his first glimpse of stars. "I got to see they were real people sfter all, and I thought maybe maybe there's a chance for me. except, maybe Charles Laughton.

He gave readings in class. He had on levis, and a red-checkered shirt, and diamond rings on every finger. He wasn't quite real." Upon graduation England took his Southern accent to New York. "I could get Andy Griffith parts; no there. But I wanted to be able to do anything." A secondhand copy of the National Broadcasting Company's pronunciation guide and reading aloud in his spare time helped erase some of England's accent.

stage roles included Shakespeare, Shaw and Chekhov Off-Broadway and a season of Shakespeare in Central Park. The beguiling J. Pierpont Finch will occupy England until the autumn. "I've got several 'definite maybe' things from my agent, as they say in the theater. If I could do anything I wanted? I'd play Cyrano de Bergerac.

My favorite character. I like characters with a vulnerable spot. It makes you want to die for that person." The Pulitzer-Prize winning show, now at the Colonial, had been delighting audiences and critics for its bright satire on. well, how to succeed in business by plotting harder than anybody else the route to the executive offices. But the preacher took the plot as Gospel.

Look Too Hungry England, an introspective North Carolinian, had begun his career as Finch by hating the character. Understudying its creator on Broadway, Robert Morse, then succeeding him in New York and on the current national tour, England had had his troubles making the role his own. The minister's remarks made him feel protective of Finch and of himself. The wary eye, the broad of Finch's grin, Finch's confident stance that might just trip him, these are now Hal England's, not Bobby Morse's, after 270 performances in eight months. Understudying, I got the feeling I was paid to keep out of sight.

When I did have to go on for Bobby, I played Finch his way. We're really quite different. He's shorter and chubbier than I am," said England who is about five-nine and lean. "I think of myself as an actor doing comedy. Bobby is a comic.
