Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor
It was reported to the student sen-
ate last semester that a commercial
teahouse might be established across
Ibe street from the university.
However, the city of Georgetown,
for good reasons, declined to
change the zoning ordinance for
ttits section. This pi evented the tea-
house from being established.
In some ways this situation is
pimila r to the one at Oklahoma City
University. At OCU the drama ma-
jors capitalized on the opportunity
and started a coffeehouse-theatre in
an unused frame building on the
campus.
Although I have never been there
I understand that avant-garde plays
are presented and discussed while
the audience sits on cushions on the
floor and drinks coffee.
It seems to me that some ener-
getic campus group which felt de-
voted to caffein and/or drama could
start a similar enterprise at South-
western.
One of the frame buildings behind
LK is apparently unused and might
be available for such a worthy pur-
pose.
Sincerely,
Hay Harlan

Kazan’s AMERICA, AMERICA
m
& LAUNDRY
Atfws From Th« Ad Building
• « i • ’ ' ' • 1
AMERICA, AMERICA is a film
written, produced and directed by
won two Academy Award's for ON
Elia Kazan. Kazan has previously
THE WATERFRONT and GENTLE-
MEN’S AGREEMENT (and this
week he is working the other sidle
of the street, having directed for
the stage in New York’s newest le-
gitimate theater, Arthur Miller’s AF-
TER THE FALL).
The film begins in Anatolia, in
Turkey, in the year 1896. The Greek
and Armenian community suffer un-
der Turkish rule. The Topouzoglou
family is Greek. Stavros is the old-
est son. AMERICA is his story.
Stavros lives with his father and
mother, his three sisters and four
brothers. It is his dream to go to
America.
AMERICA is about two things,
therefore; (a) the working out, the
execution of a dream, and (b) the
growing up of a young man.
Stavros leaves the countryside and
the little town he grew up in and
goes first to Constantinople. He stays
in Constantinople for a while and
finally travels third! class to Ameri-
ca.
Stavros is the country boy in the
city; and we see his first mustache;
and his first women in the usual
categories; professional, contempor-
ary, and older.
Many stories have been written
about young men from the country
who go to the city to make their
fortune; and AMERICA is a film on
this ordier: except it is not about a
mere ambition, but a dream.
.....As to the dream, Kazan, to his
credit, has you realize that you do
not always have your choice'of fair
means or foul where dreams are con
cerned. This is good'.
Somewhere along the way how-
ever the aspect of growing up and
the drama of the elaboration of a
dream are lost, and AMERICA be=~
comes more of an adventure story
about an immigrant coming to Amer
ica.
For me then the film progressive-
ly lost immediacy as it moved from,
what shall we say, testament to do-
cument. But it is a good film. It
meanders, it takes its time, it’s
comfortable, it’s familiar. It is a
rather odd! fashioned film with a nice
story.
As to authenticity. I don’t know.
It was shot in Greece; but aside
from an occasional feeling for land-
scape and some lovely stuff of two
Turkish beauties, I don’t know.
I really can’t tell screen Greeks
from screen Italians. .
The cast speaks generally in the
eadenced emphasis which passes
for the rendition of a foreign lan-
guage. There is a curious quality
though, as if lanes were being read
rattier than spoken. Stavros is play-

m
ed by Statius Giallelis, a young
Greek who occasionally looks like
a Greek Gardiner McKay.
Kazan generally concerns himself
in his films with the outsider, the
loner; it is essentially a romantic
position. AMERICA fits in his main
stream. But happily, and more to
the point, the progression and con-
clusion of AMERICA is entirely
credible. After all, the Kazan fam-
ily, and! lots of other families, did
come to America. It is a case when
sentiment and truth can believably
merge.
