His interpretation of the! kind of lad you'd love to whale the daylights out of drew enthusiastic James Mason Arrives, Russian Play Is Seen, and Negroes Act 'Justice' B.t ARTHi'R rOLLOCK James Mison, an actor prominent on English stage and in English films, turns out to be pretty good actor, too.

Now, performing in the flesh at the Barrymore Theater, he may be seen to, be a good-looking young fellow without any special vanity and a nice sense of balance that prevents his being templed to resort to exhibitionism in an effort to knock American playgoers out of their eats. He acts, in fact, very calmly, intelligently and with good sense. But as you listen to 'Bathsheba." the play he chose for his first American stage appearance, you must conclude that in the matter of vehicles he has no ense whatever. Or else he is Just an ordinary actor after all, perfectly content with a play so long as it provides what he considers a good part for himself. He will grow up, no doubt.

But he ought not to delay the process too long. And while he grows he should provide himself with a new voice. The one he has is a little stringy. As it stands, he is better than the play, which tries to use a Bible story as a basis for a shabby blend of sex and nobility. With no star at all, merely a group of good actors, "The Whole World Over" does much better at the Biltmore Theater, almost acrcss the street from Mr.

Mason. Konstantine Simonov, Russian, spurns the effete theatrical chicanery with which Jacques Deval, French author of "Bathsheba," aims to spice his drama. Mr. Simonov, as adapted by Thelms Schnee, American actress, writes of homely, everyday people who, though they live In Moscow, talk like ordinary, bright citizens of the world motivated solely by good will and a longing to be successful in the pursuit of happiness. Though a Russian play and an expression presumably of Russian feeling, "The Whole World Over" contains no discoverable poisons and can be counted on to indoctrinate nobody with anything, unless it Is a sweet reasonableness.

Its people are intelligent but plain, they apparently like each other and want to co-operate one with another. Mr Simonov as a playwright is in no hurry. It is a slow and leisurely play. He likes to contemplate his characters, give enough time to them to extract the human juices, let them talk things over among themselves. So there is little excitement in his comedy, only a charming naturalness and warmth.

Sometimes the play takes quite a time in reaching a given point, but the time is never spent in Boredom. Harold Clurman has done a canny Job of directing and all the actors play with candor and good spirits. At the Hamilton Grange Branch of the New York Public Libraries during the week the Equity-Library Theater presented John Galsworthy's "Justice," the play in which John Barrymore made his first hit as a serious actor. It needed revival, and pn this occasion it was done with a cast made up entirely of Negroes. Negroes have reason to be interested in jus! ice and talents that would make interesting and valuable many such productions as thus.

It is an important thing the alrt Equity-Library Theater Is doing. The play's Negro cast acted it as would any group of white actors eager for experience in the theater. They played it earnestly, eloquently and well. Give them the practice all young actors need and they will do all the while man's plays as well as pale-faced actors. This "Justice" made historv.

Stage for Action An Enriching Musical Season Is Now Nearing Its Close In a short while the 1946-1947 Winter concert Mason will be over. Already the ballet troupes have arrived, the Metropolitan is going on the road, and the walk from the subway to the Brooklyn Academy of Music no longer has to be made to the accompaniment of a biting wind. About this time every year the. Professional Grouch appears and asks his perennial question, "Well, now that all of the fiddling and singing to the balcony is over, precisely what did it accomplish?" A season of concerts such as Brooklyn and the rest of New York has enjoyed these past few months accomplishes a great deal. It might be worth while, for a moment, to consider some of the permanent benefits which remain after the instrument cases have been closed and the "pops" season posters begin to appear on the lobby bulletin boards.

First of all, the, a great many people have heard a great deal of good music. Some of them came for an evening's entertainment and went home with the sense of time well spent. Others came for a different reason. Music speaks a multitude of meanings in a universal language. It can help, sympathize with, and uplift those to whom it is something more than a routine performance of a familiar score.

There are always moist eyes when Mimi dies in the last act of "La Boheme" and there are those who listen to Beethoven for what he can give them of comfort and renewed courage. The familiar strains of the "Fifth Symphony" are a mighty tonic capable of kindling a fresh flame of (cburage and ambition when such help is needed. No one can truly say how many people have found relief, relaxation and comfort through music this past season, but surely some did. Music is not a static art, it is constantly growing and advancing. New performers, new composers and new works were all heard this season.

Not all of the new artists were good and not all of the new compositions merit wide acceptance. Other contributions may be more Important than we now think. History is full of incidents, where great masterpieces were ridiculed, or cooly received when they were first heard. An Important new symphony by Aaron Copland was heard in Brooklyn, so were many other works on which time will have to pass Judgment. Men and women are still writing music, and what they write deserves at least to be heard.

Many such scores were during the Winter Just past. Lastly, a good many people, some of them still children, have been taken to concerts which they would not have attended on their own volition. Some of them went to be polite, some went because it was expected of them, some went because their wives made them and some went because parents so dictated. After they got there a few probably had a bad time and were bored. Others listened and found out that there Is something which enriches life immensely and which they have missed up to now.

Music Is not something that we need to live in the sense that we need to eat and to sleep when we are weary; men were able to live before music came into being. Rather, music is one of the major achievements of mankind in enriching and adding to the enjoyment of life. notices from the critics.
