Pr()duced by Kermit Bloom- garden, who also presented "Death of a Salesman," "The Autumn Garden" is considered by many, Miss Hellman's AMERICAN finest writing. Starting with "The Children's Hour," a daring and enduring success, Miss Hellman has written the notable "The Little Foxes," "Watch on the Rhine," Fooos "The Searching Wind," and "Another Part of the Forest." Each of these of- fered sharp and eloquent comment on the world in which we live. In "The Autumn Garden," Miss Hell- man is concerned with 'a group of ten TASTE TREAT people, all except two of whom, are middle-aged, and their varying reaction when they return to a guest house in the South. This house recalls to all of them the hopes and ambitions of their 48 EAST AVENUE youth, and the degree to which these hopes have been realized or frustrated. Written with Miss Hellman's penetrat- ing knowledge of character, and with her brilliant pen, "The Autumn Garden" is a play to be seen. Featured in the cast supporting the stars are Emily Lawrence, Laura Pier- pont, Calvin Thomas, Theodore Newton, Margaret Barker, Murial Williams and Dickie Moore. Harold Clurman again has directed.

The picture is of a child sleeping, a teddy bear clutched in her hand. The message read: "A child asleep dreaming of Santa is not nearly as asleep as are we grownups who have lost our dreams and illu- sions ... How true! Here is more than an expression of the Yuletide season for here is a clue to a serious void in our present-day culture. We grownups have indeed lost our dreams and il- lusions. Even more serious is the obvious fact that the children of today are being robbed of the price- less possession of their imagination. The thieves in our midst are easily recognized; they are the forms of entertainment that have captured so much of our time and that of our children. A recent survey shows that in our metropolitan areas a child spends more hours before the television set than he does in the school room. The average American sees at least two movies a month (probably more in the large cities). The motion picture and its illegitimate offspring, television, by their very nature provide a literal rec- ord of all the eye can see, more than the ear can hear and far less than the mind can comprehend. Neither the motion picture nor TV leaves anything to the imagination. Not so in the living theatre! The natural limita- tions of the proscenium arch, the stylized settings, the division of time into acts and scenes: all these require imaginative cooperation from the audience. Without an active imagination the play-goer has lost the essence of the theatre and he has missed the thrill of. living the events and speaking the words with the actors. Lacking this imagination he will also miss the thrill of remembering in vivid detail all that filled the theatre.
