D. 439,139 - S. 600,567 DEC 14 1952 (Jfl ^WincheU on Broadway:' International Relations | Depicted in New Shows By WALTER THE theater's international relations never weresfriendlier. Reviewers inked another happy alliance with the Gallic repertory troupe, hailing its artistry in "Le Proces." Critic Jacques Chapman (in the Daily News) pareevu'd: "An absorbing, vivid and theatrically expert production." The Parisian players also inspired oolahlahs and champagne toasts for their versions of - Moliere's "Amphitryon" and "Les Fourberies de Scapin." ispplll The National Theater of Greece troupe arrived with "Electra," starring the electric Katina Paxi- nou. The drama-diplomats became, enchanted allies of the star and show. Reviewer Spyros Atkinson (of the- New York Times) rejoiced: "A tragedy that still retains^ heroic stature." An American cast and play, "The Seven Year 1 Itch," triumphed, too. This gay-guy-gal spoof transformed most critics into cupids. They show- . ered Vanessa Brown and Tom Ewell with valentines. The H.-Trib's Walter Kerr koo'd: "A delightful addition to the season." Variety's New Haven playboy reported John Van Druten's "I've Got Sixpence" can make "a pretty penny^on Broadway.' Hartfords sightseers inspected "See the Jaguar" and gave the lion's share of credit to I Arthur Kennedy's performance and mourned that the script is weaker than a kitten. Philly critics, however, enjoyed it. Blasts From Josephine At Lindy's the chatter dealt with Josephine Baker's Argentine blasts at the U. S?╟?

Alan Ladd handles the abracadabra. ?|?║||ililted Italian import called "Streets of -iSprrow" deals with Jezebels-and-Jelkes. It is anti-sin and pro-yawn. "Hellgate" has more horses than horse-sense. "Scotland Yard Inspector" is a crime and punishment maneuver. The tale is a crime and the audience is punished. WINCHELL f "Life Begins Tomorrow" is a feeble Frenchie, empty as the Eiffel Tower and twice as heavy. "South Pacific Trail" is another example of inflation: A million-dollar robbery in a dime-a- dozen plot. Bette9s Revue Chanyed The Bette Davis revue has changed nearly everything except "the star and the standing room only sign. Broke the Pittsburgh Nixon Theater record with $41,000. Why, by the way, doesn't Bette's show mention the name of the director? Tom Donnelly, a Washington reviewer, is the newest of the hatchet gang to finish writing a play.
