Page Eight THE SALE MITE. April 21, 'i; ■ i . ’".'i A ■ A John Mason Brown Makes Salemites Laugh JOHN MASON BROWN John Mason Brown, noted au thor, lecturer, and drama critic, charmed a Salem audience Mon day night, April 17, with his keen wit and accurate interpretation of world affairs in relation to today’s literature and drama. Speaking on the subject “Seeing Things,” Mr. Brown appeared on the college Lec ture Series for the sixth time since 1938. In his criticisms and comments on current plays, books, and movies, the speaker showed that the pre sent trends in literature are moti vated to a large extent by chang ing world events and situations. He termed our era as an “anxious age,” commenting that the United Nations is becoming the “Disunited Nations” and that the cold war might appropriately be called the “Hot Peace.” Mr. Brown mentioned Churchill’s memoirs and Eleanor- Roosevelt’s “This I Remember” as “fact books” which have influenced contem porary literature. Among the novels which he said were related to the changing world were Mer sey’s “The Wall” and George Or well’s “1984.” The lecturer praised several for eign films for their presentation of realistic life, a' characteristic whigh American movies do not generally possess. However, he praised such films as “The Best Years of Our Lives and “The Snake Pit” for their integrity. The critic com mended “Home of the Brave,” “Lost Boundaries,” “Pinky,” and “Intruder in the Dust,” four pic tures on the Negro question, for their courageous presentation of a difficult problem. Taking a hurried glance at the current Broadway productions, he commented on such plays as “Mr. Roberts,” “The Death of a Sales man,” -*“South Pacific,” and “The Wisteria Trees.” A native of Kentucky, Mr. Brown was educated at Harvard wdiere he \\ as a member of the famous Baker Workshop, He has Avorked with the New York Post and the World Telegram. He was recently elected president of the Drama Critics Circle for the fourth consecutive year and holds the position of as sociate editor of The Saturday Re view of Literature. He has ap peared on various radio programs and has written several books, his most recent being “Morning Faces,” ,a series of essays on family life. Mr. Brown was a guest of the Lecture committee in the dining hall before his appearance Monday evening. After dinner he was en tertained in the Alumnae House with an informal coffee.
