BROOKLYN EAGLE, MAR. 23, 1947 33 PLAYTHINGS MUSIC'S OVERTONES Metropolitan Opera Could Be as Successful in Brooklyn as Texas Tallulah Bankhead Meets Jean Cocteau and Nothing Happens By JOHN BALL Jr. By ARTHUR rOLLOCK. JZZs 1 hyJr Yr 1 p) if JLjW I X'm MA si In a few days the Metropolitan Opera, bag. baggage and baritones, will pack up its gear and hit the road.

This season the Met fulfilling the heaviest schedule of out-of-town dates that it has ever booked. As far. away as Texas people will have the opportunity to hear the famous Metropolitan singers, see the celebrated stage settings, and listen to the well-known chorus and orchestra. Throughout a good part of the nation the Met will bring opera to people who otherwise have little or no opportunity to witness first class performances of this type of music. The opera will appear in many important music-loving American cities, but not in Brooklyn.

It was not too many years ago that each Tuesday night during the season the Met dropped its nickel into the turnstile, so to speak, and came to the Academy of Music. There, on the stage of the opera house, the great Caruso sang, as did many another celebrated star of this great organization. On other evenings of the week the New York Philharmonic came to play for Brooklyn audiences, as did the New York Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Dr. Walter Damrosch. Still a fourth major organization, Uie Boston Symphony also found it worth the while to come here to play.

According to reliable report, of all of these four top attractions, the Boston Symphony was the only one which did not do exceptionally well in attracting patrons to its concerts. Part of this may be traced to the fact that the competition for available evenings and box office dollars was unusually heavy. Part, too, may be the fact that a certain amount of loyalty was felt for the New York orchestras as opposed to the admittedly excellent one from out of town. Despite this temporary setback, however, the BostorNalone stuck it out with When Tallulah Bankhead comes along In a new play a great liveliness can ordinarily ba looked forward to and her new appearance treated a an event. She is a smart actress and a vivid one.

When she came to the Plymouth Theater last Wednesday night, however, nothing startling happened, though there was a. strangeness about the whole proceeding that might have been considered arresting. The oddity arose from the fact that she has not in a long time been seen in a play so silly. She could not do a thing with it. It beat her at every turn.

The Sagle Has Two Heads," the play is called, and it is from the French at Jean Oocteau. a man with a following in Paris, playwright, producer and director who likes peculiar things and wants to push forward the frontiers of the drama in directions American audiences are not likely ever to care about following him. A precious gentleman, convinced that nothing is worth doing unless it is cockeyed. Tallulah Bankhead is no conventional actress and it might have been expected that she would prove surprising in something freakish by Cocteau, that she might add something magical to its out-of-the-world air and bring it a local vogue. Nothing like that happened.

The first-night audience was very nearly rabid in its applause when the thing was over, an applause that might have been the result ot pent-up boredom or Just enthusiasm for the actress herself, a tribute to a triumph of mind over nonsense. But it was no triumph. Even the incalculable Tallulah could do nothing with the Cocteau charade. Nor could any one else in the cast. Nor the adapter of the play, nor John C.

Wilson, the producer and director. Perhaps at Mr. Wilson's door should be laid a load of blame. You could not even be sure as you watched the goings-on that what you saw and heard was Cocteau. And it looked very much as If Mr.

Wilson were not sure, either. The actors merely waded through the melodrama as if it were deep water with stones on the bottom that made progress difficult. There were long stretches of empty talk that must have meant something, at least to the author, but remained only undistinguished language at the Plymouth. It seemed obvious that Mr. Wilson had bought the play and put it on without knowing anything about it.

Certainly Cocteau cannot be so dumb as he looked on this occasion. Mr. Wilson could discover no style for the interpretation of it. With the actors it was every one for himself. If Miss Bankhead had let herself go and burlesqued the brooding queen she played, Just to get fun out of it, there being nothing better in sight, results would have been pleasanter.

But she plaved with a straight face, even very earnestly, conscientiously and consciously trying to mold herself to it, diluting Tallulah Bankhead in the process, giving her uneasy gestures and uncertain intonations and emerging therefore with a low score. It was apparent that everybody had worked a long while and hard to discover just what there was in the play and how to project it and no one had made any helpful discoveries. Last Wednesday was an unlucky day. IN BALLET PREMIERE "Pas de Trois," which will be performed for the first time Tuesday night at the Metropolitan Opera House, stars (left to right) Anton Dolin, Alicia Markova and Andre Eglevsky, with choreographer Jerome Robbins kneeling at the right. JAMES 'MASON and Vega Keane in "Bathsheba," a new play by Jacques Deval, opening at the Barrymore Theater Wednesday night.

'Justice With All-Negro Cast The Equity-Library Theater will do something unusual this week, presenting John Galsworthy's play, "Justice," with an all-Negro cast. It will be performed at the Hamilton Orange Branch of the N. Y. Public Library Wednesday night, Thursday afternoon and evening and Friday afternoon. It has been directed by Hilda Vaughn.

'Great Campaign' Comes Next "The Great Campaign," by Arnold Sundgaard. fourth ANTA Experimental Theater play, opens Sunday evening, March 30. Arrangements have been completed for the presentation of "Virginia Reel" by John and Harriet Weaver as the fifth play In the ANTA Experimental Theater membership series. Gerald Savory is staging this play. Leonard Field Is serving as producer, while Richard Bernstein is designing the the result that today this famous organization is a complete sell-out in Brooklyn with standing room only available throughout the season.

Not only are all of the tickets sold, but everyone comes to listen and to applaud. The music-wise audience which comes to the Boston concerts has the opportunity to hear much new and seldom performed music and, judging from the audience reactions visible during the past season, they are glad that such is the case. It seems a fair supposition that if the former feeble contender for the Brooklyn listener has now grown into one of the most important concert series to be heard on this side of the river, then the Metropolitan, and for that matter the Philharmonic, too, should certainly have no trouble hanging out the S. R. O.

sign which the Boston Symphony has kept so consistently on display. There are three million people here and this column maintains that there is as much musical appreciation and discernment here as in any other major city in the country. A group of public-spirited men and women Is now at work organizing the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra. When this new musical institution has had an opportunity to prepare Itself and is ready to offer its first scries of conceits, there should be a large and ready audience waiting to attend. The project is long overdue and it goes without saying that the very best wishes of this column are with the sponsors in their most commendable work.

We do not believe that the organization of this new orchestra will interfere' in the least with the Boston Symphony Concerts. Similarly we feel that if New York Philharmonic were to announce a Brooklyn series, the listeners would be ready for these concerts, too. Most certainly we are sure that if the Metropolitan were to take a page from its own successful history, and once more come to Brooklyn on a regular schedule, the self-same S. R. O.

sign would demand overtime pay and the Academy of Music would respond once more, not only on Saturday nights, to the music which has grown immensely popular with each passing year.
