o o o O Medford Tribune Third Section MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1957 8 Pages Most 'Playhouse 90' Shows Not Always Worth Effort By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York 0? On Thursday night's "Playhouse 90," James Mason, playing a Broadway di rector, says to his playwright: "When it's all over, has it been worth it?" To which the playwright, Jack Klugman replies: "That's a very good question. Let me answer it this way yes and no." Well, yes and no. That's the way I've felt about most "Play house 90" productions this sea son. None of them is ever really bad although "The Death of Manolete" came perilously close. On the other hand, none has really set TV on fire either. Thursday night Robert Alan Arthur, a writer who was wean ed on the old "Philco Play house," turned out a 90-minuter (minus umpteen commercial breaks) called "The Thundering Wave." It was a play about a play and the efforts of a director,- a playwright and some actors to span kit alive before it opens in Manhattan. But it was also a play about O ft III Coming Soon - - - An EXCITING NEW Dairy Product from DAISYLAND! counter-pulls about the person al problems that each of the participants brings to his work, problems that threaten to stifle the life of the play. The cast, besides Mason and Klugman, included Joan Bennett and Franchot Tone. The performances were good as they are in most "Playhouse 90" offerings, with James Mason turning in an exceptionally pol ished performance. It's a pleas ure to watch the man work. Good Smell About Show And there was a good smell about the show, too an authen tic aroma of backstage talk, of steam-pipey rehearsals complete with coffee containers, good cos tuming and some excellent cam era groupings. The channel swim: Thursday n i g h t's "Climax" mellerdramer on CBS-TV threw a group of hurricane-buffeted strangers together in a creaky hotel. It threw them together in a creaky plot, too. When CBS-TV's "Harbormas ter" moves to ABC-TV on Jan. 5, it'll be retitled "Adventure of Scott Island" . . . "Lamp Unto My Feet" and "Look Up and Live."
