...professor who prostituted his writing talents for the Communists and commits suicide when threatened with exposure, seems to be a combination of William K. Sherwood and Clifford Odets. Mickey, who decides to name all his leftist pals before the House Un-American Activities Committee, is stage and film director Elia Kazan (this act ruptured for some years the close friendship between Miller and Kazan).

The ANTA-Washington Square Theater, preparing to become the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, will present Arthur Miller's new play After the Fall, directed by Elia Kazan and starring Jason Robards Jr. (Jan. 23). The ANTA group will also do Eugene O'Neill's Marco Millions, directed by José Quintero (Feb. 20), and S. N. Behrman's new But for Whom Charlie, directed by Kazan (March...
