BROOKLYN EAGLE, MONDAY, OCT. 5, 1942 1 1 rs a Sherwood Zara Nelsova Makes Town Hall Debut Now in Hollywood Chesterton, Saroyan Have Hot Competition Their Plays at Belasco Seem Old Fashioned, Having No Strip-Tease By ARTHUR POLLOCK When Eddie Dowling brought a couple of plays to the Belasco Theater one night last week, a short one by Gilbert K. Chesterton and a shorter one by William Saroyan, the result was a very quiet and pleasant evening in the theater.

Not only did her playing bring pleasure, it a.ssiired the listener that she was already a fine 'cellist. What, underlined this first impression was the fart that she is exceptionally musical. In addition she has real style, a true 'cello tone and an excellent command of phrasing, all of which add up to quality of performance.

It was this quality expressed throughout the program that indicated how completely musical she is. She marie her 'cello sing, and there was. a persuasive and senuous richness to her ione. Her imaginative approach to phrasing was a constant source of delight. It is no wonder that her plaving as so satisfying an experience.

Ail these things were noted in her opening number. Emanuel Moor's Prelude and verified in the Haydn Sonata in which followed. The mo. exacting work on the program. Beethoven's Sonata in Opus R9.

revealed that she is still a 'cellist-in-the-niaking. for she has yet to express the depth of (eellng inherent in music. But she gave something of herself in everything she played. It showed the more in her delightful account of Stravinsky's Ana and in Weber's Adagio and Rondo. The Tsrhaikowsky Rococo Variations completed the program.

Hale, the brawny, blond mus-tached actor, ranks among the top character players of filmoom. and one of his best characters has been that, of Little John In two big productions of "The Adventures of Robin Hood." The first, back In 1922. was opposite Douelas Fairbanks, the elder.

The second was four years ago and the benevolent robber who stripped the rich to benefit the poor was Errol Flynn. Hale not only wrestled with Flynn in Sherwood Forest, but in this version he also did plenty of talking. In the Sherwood Forest of today. Hale again is an English character, a bombing sergeant aboard a Flying Fortress which crashes In the woods after completing a mission over Germany. Flynn's there again, too.

this time as the commander of the bomber, even more heroic than he was as Robin Hood. Sherwood Forest, because of Its use as a movie location for Robin Hood, now actually bears that name. But in "Desperate Journey" it is supposed to represent the grim Black Forest Germany, Hale scarcely recognized the setting when he arrived there. A huge duplicate of a Flyin? Fortress lay shattered among the trees. Scores of uniformed men with swastikas on their arms lined tip.

RKO VAUDEVILLE Woody, a Steinbeck Discovery, In 'It's All Yours' at Academy Michael Todd started it with Star, and In the Spring. A producer, name unknown, gave burlesque another hand up, If you can call It last Monday evening at the Amba.sador Theater with a nonesuch called Wine Women and Song," and on Wednesday evening the shining pair named Russcl Crou.se and Howard Lindsay, authors the delightful "Life with Father," brought before their admirers a clever circus called "Strip for Action." all about a burlesque company at an army camp. The theater is decidedly burlesque conscious.

Mr. Dowling's bill of two plays at the is for people who like a little poetry, which they will find, along with vague feeling, in the little Saroyan piece, and a little lively discission, which they can find in the Chesterton play. It is, in other words, an entertainment for those who can entertain them-elves with their minds. You would not quite call It exciting, though Ideas can sometimes be that, and it does not thrill or arouse loud laughter, But for those who like to sit in a little pool of quiet far from the aiahts and sounds of such things as burlesque fills the eye and ear with. Mr.

Dowlings two plays are quite satisfying. This Is going to be a noisey season, lightheaded and frivolous, so if you want to hoard a little intellectual nourishment for the days ahead or to tranquilize yourself against the coming of all kinds of excitements, good, bad and terrible, spend an evening in comfort at the Belasco.

The piece is an adaptation of Johann Strauss' celebrated operetta. "The Bat." written by George Marion librettist of "Too Many Girls" and "Beat the Band." and will have lyrics by Paul Kerby. Erich Wolfgang Korngold has been released from his duties as musical director in tlie Warner Bros. Studios' especially to conduct the orchestra for 'Rosalinda." Although it is being produced under the auspices of the New Opera Company, Mr. Vroom will offer "Rosalinda" as a regular theatrical produvtlon independently of that company's repertory season planned for the Broadway Theater.

Mli ANN! V. ROOM When John Steinbeck ventured into the Dust Bowl In searrh of material for "Grapes of Wrath" he happened upon a wisp of an Okla-homan. a sweet little guy with a small moustache, a voice, a big guitar and a sharp sense of humor. Steinbeck made a friend of Woody, as he is known far and wide in the Southwest. Guthrie's the last name, formal like; but it's Woody the Oklahoma minstrel, an honest product of the depression, soil erosion and native America, who will appear for the first time on a theater stage when "It's All Yours" opens at the Brooklyn Academy of Music next Friday night.

Woody Is temporarily a New Yorker now. He's been rehearsing for the Earl Robinson show for several week. He has even written what passes for a libretto to this new kind of singing and dancing patriotic revue. Steinbeck didn't put him In "Grapes of Wrath." Instead he made a friend of Woody, took him to Hollywood and Introduced him to Will Geer. In those days, four years ago, Geer was working In the studios, and Woody was restless.

He'd never sang a song written by any one but himself. Hes been singing since his soprano cracked wide open a decade ago. He's made up songs about "Pretty Boy Floy." the Ozark bandit; about how California tried to keep the Joads out of the sunshine in the Golden Stat. Happy songs he's written, and sad ones of his Oklahoma people, and how they last their land, their homes and 'their loved ones. Will Geer brought Woody to New York some three years ago.

New York was hardly suited to a minstrel lad, a ainger who drops in at church festivals, husking bees, farmers' picnics. Woody couldn't Amkrnan. joPh Caftan.

I He wrote a ballad or two of the big city, and then hit the road for Oklahoma City again. But in the meantime his fame had spread. He'd met people, appeared at trade union halls, at city-bred folk song festivals. Never had he had more than a few dollars In his jeans. I Now Columbia Broadcasting Sys-! tern was offering him $50 to appear i for a few minutes on its chain, The war brought Woody back to i New York.

The war stirred him. i Even although his people of the Dut Bowl had been dispossessed, i the very soil which would no longer support them was American soil, theirs and their forebears. Woody wrote a few rousing, comic roundelays against Hitler, Mussolini and the little men of Japan. His acute wit, his penetrating sense of human values shines through these satiric pieces. For Woody, with the years, has learned much.

He's been in Washington and has watched Congress kirk the gong around. He's wondered why people crowd like ants into the island of Manhattan when millions of empty acres await them In the West. He knows America, its people, farmers, longshoremen, miners, tenement children, Indians of the desert, subway MOTION PICTURES NOW PLAYING!
