Missouri Legend (by Elizabeth B. Ginty; produced by Guthrie McClintic in association with Max Gordon), half a clowning comic strip, half a romantic daguerreotype, is based on the life of Jesse James. Playwright Ginty, with some support from history, has made James (Dean Jagger) into a droll sort of Jekyll & Hyde who, when not "riding out," is Thomas Howard of St. Joe, Mo., a sober family man with a mousy wife (Dorothy Gish), and a pillar of the local Baptist church...
Died. Howard Hale McClintic, 72, engineer, whose far-flung steel-fabricating company (McClintic-Marshall Corp.) built the Panama Canal locks; from an embolism; in Pittsburgh, Pa. Founded at the turn of the century when the Mellons put up a $150,000 stake for McClintic and his partner, Charles Donnell Marshall, McClintic-Marshall paid more than $8,000,000 in dividends up to 1931, when it became a part of Bethlehem Steel Corp...

In the preface to his verse tragedy Winterset, Playwright Anderson announced his abiding belief in poetry for the stage, but prophesied that it would triumph only when "an age of reason will be followed by an age of faith in things unseen." The Star-Wagon makes at least as much claim: upon ''things unseen" as the ghostly Dutchmen for last season's High Tor, but observers, who found his last four plays marred by turgid dialog and prose which often bore only the typographical mask of verse, welcomed Playwright...
...Playwright Anderson's 20th play is pleasantly ingenious, its principal characterizations warmly human, its early 20th Century episodes (reminiscent of Ah, Wilderness, Eugene O'Neill's better realized, if less ambitious, comedy) highly entertaining. Director McClintic's staging of an automobile ride, choir rehearsal and picnic in the year 1902 makes the second act a riot of Americana. Burgess Meredith proves himself the most accomplished of young U. S. actors, neatly running the gamut of middle age and youth, inspired duffer and embittered worldling. As the inventor's crony, Russell Collins (The Group Theatre...
