The idea of a musical abant an inter-racial love affair amid the emerging freedoms and nationalisn.s and the conflict of new and @d civilizations of today’s West Africa must have seemed. challenging. Conceivably it’s still: zond But in this show which opened VMoadav night (23) at the Sat}. Street Theatre. it dvesn’twork It’s a handsome production visu- ally Wil! Steven Armstrong has desizned ar atmospheric backdrop gcene of the African landscape and an ingenious setting that revolves to represent a tribal chief's hut and a village medival clinic. The costumes ‘by Motley are color-. ful and picturesque. Taking advantage of the primitise abandon of native African dances, Agres de “Mille’s choreography pulsates with primitive vizor. but rarely adds much story: progression Her staging of themitsical rumbers is adroit. with the appearance of naturalness, However, the overall staging of Robert Leuis seems vague, and several of the dramatic scenes are awkward But the underlying difficulty In “Kyamina’ is apparently the inability of the authors to resolve their central storv. They faced an understandable dilemma. a reflection of the vroblem that plagues mary peonte ir large portions of the world. Skould the white woman and the colored man marry? -Do they dare defy the taboos of both their races” Would the results, not only for themse'tves, but for others and for the ambitions of hopes they have. justify it? Would such a unton be courage or merely folly? For plavwrizht Robert Alan Aurthur ard sorzeriter Richard Adler, the question: was probably not so much the simple one, of ‘socialogfeal or philosophic theory, but an artistie, professional and. inevitably , and urgently, a financial decision. | That thev have not completely re-: it is understandable, and also possiblv crucial. For it leaves “Kwarina’ without a conclusion. Wher the white and colored doctors mert, she -the relatively prejudire-free, African-born. daughter of colonial-minded Eng-_ Hish mizsionuries and he the raceproud. Enati-h-educated son of an ignorant tribal chief, it’s obvious. to al! but themselves that they're. going to fall in love. It's parent that it will involve complications for evervone—including an. adjustment of instinctive emotional, attitude on the part of the audience.. solved After the standard romantic pre Iiminaries, the two realize they are in love and, somewhat hesitantly, go into a clinch, but carefully avoid kissing. old chief has died and the rabble-— rousing tribal medicine man_ has violently thwarted the young doc-: tor-heir’s attempt to end a bar-! posing, deadpan, wrily witty em-} baric funeral custom, the lady! doctor decides to remain in the: native village. also ap-. Broadway { But although she says she will stay with the colored man _ she loves, gain, they still do nat kiss. It’s a patently discreet fadeout. be. in consequence. that in so eircumspectly avoiding alienating their. audience, the ‘authors have failed to satisfy anyone. A somewhat similar ev asiveness, may be responsible for the -gener-. allv undistinguished songs. Since the tu leads can’t let themsely es go, their sion. The most impressive numbers are generally choral. The best sungs by the principals aré the plaintive “Nothing ‘More to Look Forward To,” the puzzled “What's Wrong with Me? and the protest ing “Ordinary People.” Under the circumstances. it's not surprising that the featured leads, Sally Ann Howes. and Terry Carter, give somewhat tentative performances. Miss. Howes, daughter of British music half and legit comic Bobby Howes and wife of composer-lyricist * Adler, give the impression of being a doctor. and though spirited. seems slightly self-conscious ‘and. aloof: She is trimly attractive. however... and sings agreeably, especially when a number gives her a chance’ for a showmanly flourish. Carter is properly intense as Kwamina “born on Sunday"? the proud, enlightened: voung doctor , dedicated ‘to improving the con ‘dition of his people. but constricted by conflicting motivations. He has little singing to-do. Brock Peters has an exeellent voice and ‘is persuasively forthright in the uncomplicated role of the witch doctor bent on protecting agood racket. Ethel Ayler is convincing. per sonable and: dramatically appeal- inz as a native girl betrothed at birth to the tribal. prince but in ‘love -with another, and she sings gilowingly. Rex Ingram is acceptable as the conscientious but superstitious and thereby -pliable old chief. Norman Barrs is’ handicapped in the stiff part of a ‘stuffy cotunial official “Kwamina” is a eommendable attempt fo deal dramatically and musically with a major theme. But it misses theatrically, won’t work commercially and is a remote _ Prospect cinematically, Hobe. A Shot in the Dark.

Julie Harris Louise Trov Walter Matthau } Harry Kurfiitz, the reputed wit of two continents -or is it three. or four’: has eome up with a sort of murder trial with jokes as his new play, “A Shot in'the Dark,” which opened last week at the Booth Theatre. He also has Julie Harris, giving another of her quicksilver’ performances. The combination should be enough fer a Broadway hit, but probably isn’t. to the Mirisch Bros. in a pre-production deal. Anatole Litvak will dirett the picture, with Shirley MacLaine as star. “4 Shot in the Dark” (there were several previous titles, including “The Naked Truth” and Nlaid's “Room” ' is adapted from a Parision hit, “L'Idiote,” by Marcel ‘ Achard. The locale is the office of \ an idealistic young Paris magistrate whose first assignment seems to be an open and shut case. The. chauffeur of a rich and terribly important family has been found dead in tite maid's room, ; with her lying unconscious nearby, nude and with a fatal revolver in her hand.
