Chinese New Year is not the time for too much rhetoric.

"Teahouse of the August Moon" is the best picture to see after the holiday — it's amusing, it's good to look at, and Glenn Ford provos that at last he has learned to become an actor.

For Brando fans the out- look is not quite as good. In spite of the Oriental make- up and obvious work he has put into the part, he is not quite the Eurasian inter- preter of the play.

Eddie Albert, on the other hund has never acted ns well. He is in command of every sequence in which he appeurs and every amusing line he is given registers.

This is a film not to be missed.

want

Olivier to star in it to- gether with Vivien Leigh and also to direct.

In the play, the leading actor Eric Portman takes two parts, a declining politicien striving to end a broken marriage and also a dissolute major charged with molesting a woman in a cinema.

In the plan for the Alm Olivier would act the major and Lancaster would play the politician. Also starring with Vivien Leigh would be Deborah Kerr,

In New York Olivier will talk OVCT Lancaster's ideas and finally decide whether he will star and direct.

So there it 1: Shaw, Shakespeare, Rattigan. And in the middle of it all-in the summer-will como the pre- miers of his much-tallod-about (100-much-talked-about some might say, and Olivier would be tempted to agree) picture with Miss Monroe, "The Sleep-

ing Prince"

"Now

why," asked Olivier,

thero "should

be so much Hollywood interest in you ot this moment?”

SO GOOD

Olivier said: "It is fallering, It is not only acting which exeltes me now--but also the challenge of directing I think maybe the idea is getting around Hollywood that I do direct as well.

"It is nice to hope this will really be a good year; but the time to assess that is at the end."

There is, of course, another reason why Hollywood is look- ing towards Olivier today. There is an urgent need there far tresh minds and novel 2p- proaches. Olivier has never done the "routing" because it was safe. He is always prepared 10 experiment-so Hollywood nks for him.

Hollywood also asks a Brilish director.

Sandy Mackendrick,

who made "Man in the White Sult," to shoot Olivier's Abrt The Devil's Disciple." Macken drick is taken in preference to. any better known American director

because he, 100, is nut

"routine."

And then there Is Carroll Baker. Not for her the usual "new discovery" starlet bulid- up-but one major picture after another.

The other night Laurance Olivier went to

see her. In "Baby Doll." He said after- wards: "So good....so very good. It will be exciting acting with her."

It will be an exclling 1957 altogether, for Olivier.
