...Hochhuth has portrayed him, Pius is all discretion and no valor, and as Emlyn Williams plays him, he is gently dignified but bloodless, Christ's bookkeeper rather than his vicar. While Hochhuth robs Pius of all stature, even he cannot deprive him of sound sense. The Pope reminds Father Riccardo of the mounting Communist danger from the East, thus proving at least as prophetic as Winston Churchill at Fulton, Mo. Pius keeps silent, he tells Father Riccardo, to prevent worse misfortunes -and Hochhuth is scarcely in a position to argue that Hitler was not capable of further madness...
...well. Richard was accepted by Exeter College, Oxford. The R.A.F. conveniently provided a scholarship, indenturing him to air service later on. He had to wait two terms before he would actually be in statu pupillari, so he answered an ad in Wales's Western Mail, placed by Actor Emlyn Williams, seeking a young Welsh actor for a play called The Druid's Rest. He got the part and spent five months in the West End, going up to Oxford as a slightly seasoned professional...
...cope with. Although it grosses $1,500,000 annually in ad revenues, its net profit is chronically so low (about $40,000 after taxes this year) that it can afford only a one-man editorial staff: Editor Charles L.

...several holdovers of merit. A Man for All Seasons might have taken its theme from Shakespeare's "Every subject's duty is the King's but every subject's soul is his own." Torn between duty and conscience is Sir Thomas More, played by Emlyn Williams. There is fresh comedy in the conformist cry for nonconformity as raised by A Thousand Clowns. As a nonworking anti-square, Jason Robards Jr. is supported by a prize cast of plodballs. Jean Kerr's Mary, Mary is baited with laughs, and Barbara Bel Geddes hooks every...
...sluggish start several holdovers of distinction still dominate the Broadway scene. The New York Drama Critics Circle's best-foreign-play prizewinner, A Man for All Seasons, probes the mind, heart and faith of Sir Thomas More, who chose to lose his life rather than his soul. Emlyn Williams portrays the hero-martyr. A Thousand Clowns, freshly and resourcefully comic, stars Jason Robards Jr. as a man who tries to grope his way out of groupthink toward the good life. Barbara Bel Geddes delivers Jean Kerr's subcutaneous witticisms with flair in long-running Mary, Mary...
