By LEN BOVD Burl Ives, mountainous minstrel, who has emerged as a distinguished dramatic actor of the theater and motion pictures, lrankly admits he doesn't object to being a hero to his 11-year-old son, Alexander. When I was a child, he recalls, my father was the most Important person on my horizon. To me, this was a very wonderful thing and something which has stayed with me all my life." Perhaps this is why, of all the roles he has played on stage or screen, Tennessee Williams Big Daddy in the Pulitzer Prize play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, at the Fox Wilshire is the closest to his heart. As often as he has played the role of Big Daddy, both in New York during its record run and row in Hollywood for its transference by MGM to the screen, he never ceases to ba touched by Rehearsal Under I Way At Gallery Players Ring Theaters, Ine announced today that rehearsals began for the Players' Ring Gallery production of Diary of Anne Frank, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert llaok-ett, title role being assumed by Sandra Harrison and her father being played by the noted Brit islr actor, Anthony Eu.sliel, with Karen Verne, Roxanne Brooks and Carl Crow.

matic situations which arise between Big Daddy and the boy Brick, played by Paul Newman. Brick, like most boys, needed a hero, Ives goes on to say. "All boys want their father to be that hero. But Brick finds that Big Daddy is big only in physique and as the owner of the richest plantation in the South. Big Daddy has had little time for his son or family.

The boy, in his disappointment, turns to adolescent worship of a fellow-football player. In short, he refuses to grow up. It kinda seems to me, says Ives, that Tennessee Williams touched on the problem of thousands of our youths today when he has Big Daddy cry out at his son: You and millions like you livin in a kids vwld playin games, touchdowns, home runs, jumpin hurdles, no worries, no problems, no responsibilities, play, sleep, eat, play some more. Admit Youre afraid of the world. Ives, as Americas Troubadour, described by Carl Sandburg as The Mightiest ballad singer born in any century, has traveled to every part of the world, singing and meeting the youth of all nations.

The fine thing about childhood should be that all things are possible, even if, as we grow older we have to acknowledge that few things are probable, Ives says, What I have, what I do, I want to share with my son.
