Agee's Novel on Screen
Qn the stage, Tad Mosel’s drama-
tization of the late James Agee’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “ A
Death in the Family,” was a warm,
moving tragedy whose power was
heightened by a sense of truth that
moved through it.
Fortunately, perhaps remarkably,
“All the Way Home” has lost
neither its forceful impact nor its
genuine warmth on the screen.
The play has undergone some
heavy pruning, but Director Alex
Segal and Scenarist Philip Reisman
have caught the basic qualities of
the story so perceptively and depict-
ed diem so skillfully that the film
version emerges as strong, stirring

Nine Muses at U. T.
The Nine Musses of ancient Greece
vand Rome, with some of the works
they inspired, form a new exhibit in
The University of Texas Undergrad-
uate Library and Academic Center,
fourth floor.
The exhibit, designed by Prof. O.
W. Reimmuith of the Classics Depart-
ment , permits students and: visitors
to see many rare items from the
University’s Main Library, Parsons
Collection, Miriam Lutcher Stark
Library, W. J. Battle Library and
Classics Department Collectio. Some
of the literary and antiquarian trea-
sures in these collections, greatly
augmented by acquisitions made on
a larger scale in recent years under
Chancellor Harry Ransom’s admin-
istration, are exhibited here for the
first time.
Exhibit hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m.
to 12 noon on Saturday.
The Muses and the arts over Which
Mrs. Springer Is
Organizer Of l(ew
Theatre Group
Mrs. Frances Springer, teacher in
the Georgetown High School, is one
pf 21 high sriiool theatre directors,
representing every region of Texas,
who met at McMurry College in
Abilene on Feb. 8. to organize the
Texas Secondary Theatre Con-
ference. This new organization will
be a division of the Tesas Educa-
tional Theatre Association. Jim
Baines, who was host for the meet-
ing was formerly of Southwestern
University, and is now Director of
Theatre at McMurry College.
The T. E. T. A. with which the
hew organization is affiliated, was
organized1 in 1951 to promote theatre
and to secure recognition for it as
a course of study in Texas public
school programs. As a result of its
activities, and work with the Texas
Education Agency, drama has be-
come a distinct entity in the public
schools and a course of study has
been developed by the T. E. T. A.
An interesting coincidence is that
Mrs. Springer’s husband, Dr. Angus
Springer, head of the Department of
Drama of Southwestern University,
was one of the founders and the first
president of T. E. T. A., and now
Mrs. Springer has become a found-
er and charter member of its affili-
ate, the T. S. T. C.
Others who encouraged the organ-
ization of the new goQH*P are: Prof.
C. K. Eaten of Texas A & I Univer-
sity and Roy Brown, director of
drama activities for the Texas In-
tersqhoteatiic League.
they preside are Clio, history; Thal-
ia, comedy and bucolic poetry; Era-
to, love poetry; Polyhymnia, sacred
poetry; Euterpe, lyric poetry and
music; Terpsichore, dance and chor-
al song; Calliope, epic poetry .and
eloquence; Urania, astronomy, and
Melpomene, tragedy.
Books and manuscripts selected
for the exhibit, including first edi-
tions and incunabula (books publish-
ed before 1500), are appropriately
groupr vith large photographs of
statues of the Nine Muses in the Va-
tican Museum’s ‘‘Room of the Mu-
ses.” Also on view are line drawings
of the Muses by a French artist,
Charles Bardet, and a cartoon ser-
ies, ‘‘The Modem Muses,” by Paul
Flora, all from a special issue of
‘‘Du” (Zurich, 1960) devoted to the
Muse*s.
Adding further interest to the dis-
play are a number of objects from
ancient Greece and Rome, on indef-
inite loan from the Fogg Museum at
Harvard University. Selected Greek
and Roman coins are on display,
most of them for the first time any-
where, from a large and very val-
uable collection presented to The
University of Texas in 1891 by S.M.
Swenson, an earLy settler and citizen
of the Republic of Texas.
Among the rare books in the Nine
Muses exhibit is an edition of Ver-
gil’s ‘‘Eclogues, Qeorgics and Aen-
eid,” published in Florence, Italy in
1487. This Ls one of two copies in
public libraries. One other is known
to exist, in a private collection.
One of the most valuable items on
display is the Ashbumer manuscript
cf Catullus and part of Tibullus, dat-
ed 1451. Among several very rare
first printed editions is a copy of
Homer’s ‘‘Iliad” and “Odyssey”
(Florence, 1488).
Of interest to scholars is Julius
Caesar’s “Commentary on the Gallic
Wars,” published in the 16th Cen-
tury in Italy, which translates Cae-
sar’s Latin into Italian. The well-
known opening words, “Gallia Qm-
nis divisa est t in partes tres” ap-
pear as “La Gallia tutta divisa in
tre parti.” •
Translators of the classics are rep-
resented in the exhibit, among them
William Cullen Biyant. Bryant’s
translation of the “Iliad” is shown,
together with samples of the trans-
lator’s work-sheets in his handwrit-
ing. Among modem translators in-
cluded is Prof. William Arrowsmith
of The University of Texas.__
Mrs. Elizabeth Will and James R.
Wiseman, instructors in classics and
David Armstrong, graduate stu-
dent, assisted Dr. Reinmuth with the
exhibit.

II Students and teachers will have
II a chance to see a pig, turkey, taro,
JI ,flotu or breadfruit bring placed in
drama — no less powerful, really,
than it was in either of its previous
forms.
Agee’s autobiographical story, set
in Knoxville, Teon., around 1915,
deals simply with a family’s reac-
tion to the death of the father —in
particular, with how this tragedy af-
fects the seven-year-old son.
The father and mother. Jay and
Maiy Follet, have a deep, genuine
love which extends to their young
son Rufus, who has a rare kind of
relationship with his father. Then,
one night, the father is killed in ap.
automobile accident, suddenly leav-
ing the wife to cope with an over-
whelming grief and the young boy
to puzzle over the enormity of the
tragedy which has taken away his
father.
It’s a somber subject, but director,
writers and1 players have managed
to keep it from being maudlin. In-
stead, they have given it a quiet,
dignified! but always unbelieveable
poignance, and the emotions they
produce come from legitimate feel-
ings and not from over-sentimentaliz
ed displays of emotionalism.
In a diadenging role, Jean Sim-
mons performs admirably as the
young woman • who must change
from a loving, happy wife to a dis-
traught widow and on to a strong,
indomitable mother. Robert Preston,
if vaguely incongruous in the role,
makes the fattier a vilbrant, under-
standing man, a lover of life but a
tender companion for wife and son,
and his performance showers sparks
all over the screen.
The supporting roles are played
equally well. Little Michael Kearney
turns in one of the most appealing
juvenile performances in some time,
and Pat Hingle portrays the bois-
terous, boorish brother in a ^ way
Which reveals the insecurity awl in-
feriority complex beneath the char-
acter. And Aline MacMahon, a re-
cruit from the original Broadway
past, is wonderful as the wise, stur-
dy old aunt.
Director Segal has furnished the
story with some enormously effec-
tive touches to add to the strengths
pf the. picture and insure that no
pne will go away unmoved by its
drama.
