Legislative
Roundup
By DAVE JONES
Tonight the Student Legislature
is dealing, once again, with com
munications. Communications be
tween representative and constitu
ent. Last week, Representative Jim
Crownover SP) introduced his
'"Compulsory meeting", bill.' Hun
dreds of inches .of newsprint have
been expended on these pages on
the subject. Tonight, reconsidera
tion will be! moved on his bill.
He has consulted xvith a former
Speaker, a University Party leg
islator who voted against the bill,
and he has' read Don Dotsons
column carefully.
It is to be hoped that the result
of the bombardment of ideas and
emotions will result in a resolution
that will have a genuine effect on
the communications problem.
"A resolution to encourage meet
ings of all legislators with their
constituents." may very well be
the title of Crownover's substitute
meaure. If the measure is written
in such a way as to encourage leg
islators to get out and meet their
people; explain to them who they
are and what theyar e about; and
give the legislator a chance to see
his duty and act on his conscience;
then it will pass and not be for
gotten. Any measure that proposes a
change in the rules olt he legisla
ture or that requires written re
ports with penalties attached that .
must be administered by the
Speaker or the Rules Committee
must be enacted by twot hirds of
the body.

To Visit UNC
Frank Crowther
On Thursday, May 14th, John Frankenheirr.rr
will visit the campus for a speaking engagenr.t
sponsored by the Carolina Forum. Many reader
of course, are well familiar with Frankenhem.er
work as a television director, but few are aware
of the near-phenomenal rise of his career and h.s
stature as one of the bright young directors in i
medium.' In fact, the motion picture industry is n.j
feverishly vying for his services.
V"
Frankenheimef was born in Malba, Long isjai. j
and graduated from Williams College. He was outr
an actor himself, having acted and directed in t hi
storic company of the Highland Playhouse, Falmoutr,
Mass. He was . also cast in the American Theaur
Wing's Washington production of "The Moon U
Blue." He soon moved into broadcasting, achr.?
and directing in radio in Washington and working
at WTOP-TV in the nation's capitol.
His work was quickly noted and he moved
CBS in New York in July of 1953 as assistant di
rector of the "Mama" series, "You Are There" anl
"Danger." He kept moving. In 1955 he became c
director on the now-defunct "Climax!" series a a
won the Christopher Award for his direction of
'Deal A Blow."
After serving in the Air Force for two years
directing training films in Hollywood as a Lieutm
ant, Frankenheimer returned to New York and d;
rected, if I have the facts correct, in a free lance
capacity under the auspices of Talent Associates
the organization which functions as his agent. It
was at this time that he began his long and success
ful association with "Playhouse 90" and the Du
pont Show of the Month." Frankenheimer's name
readily became synonymous with superb direction
During his three years with "Playhouse 90' he
somehow found time to direct a film, "The Young
Strangers." At the same time, he was responsible
for some memorable television productions. "Play
house 90's" premiere production, "Forbidden Area, '
was a Frankenheimer project. Other equally fine
dramas he directed were: "The Comedian" (which
you will remember starred Mickey Rooney), "The
Ninth Day," "The Last Tycoon," "A Sound of Did
ferent Drummers," "A Town Has Turned To Dust,"
"Old Man" and "Days of Wine and Roses."
This spring Frankenheimer probably reached the
height of his career thus far with his "Playh)usc
90" direction of "For Whom The Bell Tolls," and,
for the "Dupont Show of the Month," Sir John
Gielgud in "The Browning Version."
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" was another "first"
for Frankenheimemr, being the first three-hour
drama ever presented on television. Adapted from
the Hemingway novel which was made into a
motion picture starring Gary Cooper ' and Ingrid
Bergman it featured Maria Schell, Jason hobatAs,
Jr., Maureen Stapleton, Eli Wallach and Nehemiah
Persoff. Though the reviews were mixed, Heming
way, who happened to be in the United States at
the time, said that it was the best graphic presenta
tion even done of any of his work. This was an
achievement in itself.
Sir John Gielgud's distinguished acting in "The
Browning Version" was only the third television
appearance for this actor, often referred to as the
greatest performer living.
With this impressive array of shows behind him.
one sits back in awe when confronted with the fact
that Frankenheimer is but 29 years old, and al
ready a legend.
His method of directing is anomalous. Alter
thoroughly analyzing each part, Frankenheimer
holds long, private discussions with each member of
his cast. His rehearsals then begin early in the
morning and last late into the night seven das
a week. He checks every minute detail himself, nut
leaving it to somebody else.
One of his most unique directorial habits is thaf
of following his actors around like a hawk, some
times standing inches away from them while they
emote. "He kind of 'spooks' you," said one of his
principals, some time back, "but he really know
what he's doing. He has a great understanding vt
an actor's part and, if you'll listen, you can learn
quite a bit about your own trade." Many people
are amazed that he knows so much and yet is u
youn.
Probably one of his best compliments came frop
Gielud: "It's distracting to have him following me
closely and sometimes moving right up alongside
my face. But no actor should be surprised at di
tractions or chaos . . . He's very good. The onS
thing that keeps one young is working with son r
of the young people in this medium and learning
from their freshness, there lack of fear of what -been
done before. One doesn't want to get into
groove."
Frankenheimer told me over the phone last M-v
day that he had been engaged to direct the projec:
ed motion picture of Truman Capote's BREAKFASi
AT TIFFANYS and another as yet undesignate",
film this summer. Next fall, he hopes to direct ;
broadway play.
- His appearance at UNC will also be another im'r
stone. This will be the first time that he has e;.
tured to a university campus for such a speak ! -engagement.
"I'm game if you are," he told n-r
One of the main themes of his speech will be th
popular misconceptions of television what thr
public thinks it is and what they believe goes t
behind the scenes, and what really does take pla -during
the production of an hour and a half
more of drama on television.
A most interesting evening should b in store
for those who attend Thursday, May Hth, in
Hill Hall at 8 p.m:
