' Winterset'Author Best Play Winner; Production to Open Season Friday By George Dorris Twice winner of the New York Critics’ circle Prize and once awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the season’s best play, Maxwell An derson, author o f “Winterset,” first play of the University Thea ter season, is known as one of the outstanding playwrights of the modern theater. Following his first success with “What Price Glory?,” Anderson became famous as the author who brought poetry into the modern theater. He was increasingly well known for his Tudor dramas in verse, “Mary of Scotland” and “Elizabeth the Queen.” In 1935 he produced the first modern poe tic tragedy with a contemporary setting in “Winterset.” CIRCLE PRIZE AWARDED Following this play, which was awarded the first Critics’ Circle prize, he wrote “High Tor,” a con temporary poetic comedy, which was also awarded the Critics’ prize. In succeeding years Anderson brought out other verse plays with modern settings, including “Candle in the Wind,” dealing with the fall of France, and “The Eve of St. Mark,” on the effect of the war in this country. In addition to writing dramas, Anderson collaborated with Kurt Weill in 1938 to produce the hit musical “Knickerbocker Holiday” based on early New York history. It was this score that produced the popular “September Song.” This past season on Broadway has seen the second Anderson-Weill offer ing ih “Lost in the Stars,” starring Todd Duncan, and based on Alan Paxton’s “Cry, the Beloved Coun try.” CO-WORKERS OUTSTANDING While writing his various suc cesses, Anderson worked with most of the outstanding actors and actresses of the modern stage. In “Mary of Scotland” he had Helen Hayes and Philip Merevale; Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine starred in “Elizabeth the Queen.” Burgess Merideth and Margo appeared in “Winterset” and Meri deth also was in “High Tor.” In “The Wingless Victory,” Kather ine Cornell starred, while Helen Hayes appeared again with “Can dle in the Wind.” For the title role of “Joan of Lorraine,” Anderson secured In grid Bergman; for the last of his Tudor queens, Joyce Redman ap peared as Anne Boleyn with Rex Harrison as Henry VIII in his recent success “Anne of the Thou sand Days.” With one of Anderson’s most successful dramas, “Winterset,” the University Theater will open its current season Friday night with a formal dress performance. The show, which has Gordon Ericksen and Barbara Pasquan in the roles Burgess Merideth and Margo created, will also play Dec. 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 in the new thea ter.
