NEW YORK IS TOPS
- t, Miss Lindberg, who has been

I She thinks Dallas women prob-
I I ably are the “sexiest” in the na

51 most “natural” beauty and San

are “tops in all points of beauty,”

Berlin, who has contributed so mightily to the enjoyment of thjs ration
and the world; it- positively would include the magnificently talented
Richard Rodgers and Obviously, judging from the title of this column.
It would embrace Oscar Hammerstetn 2nd. just as special In his field
of <- book and lyrics.’-’
“What have yon done for me lately?” is the tagUne of a Joke about
an instate. Wed, most recently, Hammerstein has given us the unfor
gettable portrait, by Xul Brynner, of the King of'Siam, in “The King
and IT adapted by Hammerstein from - Margaret LandonV “Anna
add the King of Siam ” 1 -»• - ! V «
Tile movies projected the King of Siam in the person of Rex
Harriion, and though I saw that moving picture, my recollection
at all. This Was not Harrison’s fault because he is a fme actor.' Most
certainly, it was the fault of the script which he vainly tried to bring
to life. In other words, he had no canvas painted by Oscar Hammerstein
2nd Brynner was luckier.
Hamm f rMein’s King of Siam comes full-dimensioned to life be
cause he shows you the King through many sets of eyes the eyes
of the woman who loved him best, Lady Thiang. played by Dorothy
Sambff; the eyes of British schoolmarm Ann Leonowens, played with
charming awareness by Gertrude Lawrence; the eyes of the Krala
home, played by John Jullano, and the eyes of the bartered Burmese
Princess Tuptim, played by Stephanie Augustine.
Best of all, Hammerstein explains and defines his King of Siam
in the, lyrics Os one of the finest songs Rodgers and Hammetsiein
ever have created in my book, a poignant, tender love song called
“Something Wonderful.” Sung, by Dc*«hy Samotf, it captain# to
Gertrude Lawrence why Dorothy* lovePHHn to the point ol pleading
his case to a rival who fills a special need in his lift. Wrote Ham
mer.s te in:
‘This is a man who thinks with his heart,
His heart is not always wise;
This is a man who stumbles and falls
Bnt this is a man who tries.
This is a man you’ll forgive and forgive.
And help and protect as long as yon live.
“He will not always say what yon would have him say,
Bnt now and then he’ll say something wonderful.
What heartless things he’ll do.
“He has a thousand dreams that won’t come true,
Yon know that he believes in them and that’s enough for you.
You’ll always go along, defend him when he’s wrong,
And tell him when he’s strong, he is wonderful.
He’ll always need your love, and so, he’ll get your love.
The man who needs your love—and be wonderful."
In “Show Boat,” Hammerstein fashioned the love story of Captain
Andy and his daughter, and the companion love of Julie. In “Carousel,”
he again tugged at your emotions with the love of a father for his
daughter. In “Oklahoma!” he captured you once again with his sen
sitive understanding of people and their emotions. In “The King and
I,” his King and Anna, and Lady Thiang and the children come to
full vivid life just as did his people in “South Pacific.”
Broadway stages without Hammerstein lyrics would be fairly deso
late, not that we have. no other’great fashioners of stage books and
lyricist who could dream up "Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, I’ve
gbtta love one man ’til I die" as the first lines of a love ballad and
maybe I’ll vote your ticket.
By his own admission, Hammerstein must work slowly. He tells
me that he assembles all of his reference books methodically, reads
through them, soaks' himself in the period he’s about to write and
then goes to work.
Rodgers, by contrast, is as fabulous as lightning and scores hits
much more frequently. "He goes into a room, sits down at a piano and
in ten minutes comes back with a melody that bowls you over,” re
counts Hammerstein. T’ve never met anyone with Dick's fantastic
talent as a composer.” - •
One may be rapid, the other slower, but in some things they s«m
to be identical. In the matter of fine taste, there is a dead tie." A
Rodgers-HSammerstein shows always has wonderful taste as a hallmark,
it always IS endowed with unforgettable charm. Jerry Robbins' ballet
in “The King and I” which is named “The timai! House of Uncle Tom”
always will remain an exalted moment In the Broadway theatre, and
even in this, Hammerstein advances his story line by correlating the
story of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the fleeing Little Bva with the story
of the narfttar, Princess Tuptim.

JAPAN
No nation in Asia, In the 19th
or 20th century, reached the position
of dignity and might equal to
Japan prior to 1945. Not as targe
as the State of California, the!
Japanese built and held for a short I
period, from 1395 to 1945, a vast'
and effectively administered area I
in Asia from the- Kurile Islands in- !
to the South Seas and Korea and 1
Manchuria an the mainland of
Asia.
From 1853 to 1911, me United'
States assisted in the building of
Japan. It was largely loans from
American banks that helped to
create and expand Japan's indus
try. Russian imperialism in Man
churia caused the United States in
1899 to issue the John Hay “Open
Door Policy," which strengthened
Japan indirectly because it arres
ted the Russian advance in Man- ■
churia. As a result of Anglo-Am
erican support of Japan, in 1906,:
the Anglo-Japanese alliance Was ;
formulated. This was the first
recognition of an East AsiK people
as an etjtial by any western power.
: The Anglo-Japanese alliance was
one of the most constructive ar- 1
[ rangements in Asiatic affairs and
. and ft was a pity that American
I influences after World War I 1
brought it to an end.
1 In 1904, Japan went to war with
. Russia, recemne the moral and I
| financial support of the United
; States. (At that time, the flnanci
.! al support consisted of loans from i
’' private banks.) Japan won that'
war by the treaty of Portsmouth,
’ New Hampshire, Theodore Roose- ;

even then imperilled bythe aggros

and EUhu Hoot moved soundly hi
Astatic affaire ,
About 1911, an agitation develop
ed against the Japanese in Cali
fornia, led by the Mcqtatchys of
the Sacramento “Bee.” This had
to do with the ownership of land
in California and produced a raeef
prejudlce which affected not only
Japanese, but all the peoples of
Eastern Asia, Chinese, Filipinos,
Hindus, etc. Its counterpart in
Asia was a violent and growing
anti-Americanism.
For this is an axiom in human
history: race prejudice begets race
prejudice. 'No people will volun
tarily admit inferiority, because of
blood and color, to any other
people. Much of tbe antagonism
, which the United States is now
encountering is Asia has its orgin
in the antl-Oriental agitation and
legislation by Congress and by the
; legislatures of several Western
States 40 years and more ago.
! So during tbe 1920’s and 1930’5,
[ the relations between Japan and
the United States deteriorated. On
September 18, 1931, Japan-Invaded
and eventually ’ conquered Man
churia and the lower Yangtze
Valley of chin*. This is
efftotuai beginning w worm war
for it guar<fl||ed that event
ually the United'elites would make
rtdhtary efforts to (restate china.
GMtang Kai-Shek, however, had
to vrkit a decade before the United
States cam# h*, 'nfcNw; Tn ••rJ
About one week before that war
was over, and -«(ter the Japanese
had tried to find a Way to peace,
Soviet : Russia eilteked that wa>
and, by the tertns of the Yalta
agreement, received as compensa
tion aU that Japan had prevented
Russia (from accomplishing by four
i add k policy of constant and
j vigilant militarisation.
. The Japanese accepted defeat
with characteristic fatalism. They
assumed the worst. However, the
United States sent General Douglas
MacArthur to Japan as pro-con
sul, who, instead of treating this
nation as a conquered foe, set out
to rebuild it as a bulwark against
i Soviet Russia. It is this magnani
j mous policy which is now inedr
i porated in the Dulles Treaty.
