Brookhaven Has Stars in its Eyes as Movie Cameras Grind Away

Kansas Oilfield SproutsIn Brookhaven Hamlet

It 's Movie Make-Believe:

By Mary Alburger

Like Jack's beanstalk, an "oilfield" has sprouted overn ightin the hamlet of Brookhaven on the property of Sullivan Galloof East Patchogue, formerly the site of the Tiger Nurseries.

Lest any Brookhaven resident should rush out to start drill-ing1 on his property, it must be admitted that the "oilfield" isan ingenious set for the film , "Splendor in the Grass," now beingproduced by the American playwright, William Inge, and inter-nationally recognized director and producer, Elia Kazan , by New-town Productions, Inc.

Formerly some 200 acres of nursery stock, most of whichhad been removed by last spring, the oilfield is a scene ofdeliberate disrepair, with vines, man-wound about drilling equip-ment, rundown buildings to convey the general atmosphere ofthe depression that followed the hoy-days of the 1920' s.

For those puzzled about the title—The tit le , "Splendor in the Grass," comes directly from

Wordsworth's "Ode on Intimations of Immortality ":"Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of the splendor in the grass,Glory in the flower.We will grieve not, rather findStrength in what remains behind."

Mr. Inge, the author, who made his Broadway debut with"Come Back Little Sheba," has among his cred its, "Picnic ," and"The Dark at the Top of the Stairs." For this outstandingAmerican dramatist, "Splendor in the Grass," is a first screen-play. He is associate producer and plays his first part as anactor in the picture.

Brookhaven residents will be interested to learn - that thesite on Beaver Dam Road was selected because of its resem-blance to Kansas. Its being found at all seems almost uncannyunti l one learns that Charles II. Magu ire, assistant producer andunit manager, lives in West Islip and cruised all over LongIsland searching for a house with acreage that could serve as aKansas ranch. Looking out over the acres behind the handsomered brick house, on Beaver Dam l?oad , last occupied by Mrs.Walter E. Corrigan, the flatness of the land certainly suggestsKansas to those so minded.

Some (55 persons, working inobstrusively, and in variouscapacities, are completing the week's work in Brookhaventomorrow, and also f in i sh ing 13 weeks of production on the f i lm,which will be released about December through Warner Brothers.During their production work here , the entire cast and crew havebeen staying at the Patchogue Motel.

Starring in the. picture is Natalie Wood , who had leadingroles in "Marjorie Morningstar," and "Cash McCall ," and hasbeen a screen actress since she was a child. Co-star is WalterBeatty, for whom it is a first screen appearance although hehas appeared on television and on the stage in Mr. Inge 's "ALoss of Roses."

Pat Hingle , one of Broadway's best-known character actors ,is cast as Beaity 's father. Mr. Hingle has worked with bothMr. Kazan and Mr. Inge , and played (he s t a r r i n g t i t le rolein the Pulitzer Prize-winning "J.B." Surmoun t ing an almost fa ta laccident, he returned to the stage in "The Deadly Game."

Playing Miss Wood's mother is Audrey Christie, who hasa Broadway history tha t goes back to such famous musicalsof the Twenties as "Good News" and "Follow Thru." Cast asStonewall Jackson in "Sailor Beware," she then plaved OliveLashbrook in "Voice of the Turtle," both in New York andLondon.

Other members of the hand-picked cast include Fred Stewart,Joanna Roos , Barbara Loden, Zohra Lamport, Jan Norn's, GaryLockwood and Charles Robinson.

Boris K a u f m a n is director of photography, Donald Krauzeand Joe Manduke , assistant directors , Richard Sylbert, artdirector , and Gene Callahan , set decorator.

"Splendor in the Grass ," set in Kansas , is the story of ahoy and girl , who in losing each other , find themselves. Thetime is about. 1P-2R-1M2.

Instruction MethodsExperiment Is Readied

At Bay, River Avenues:

Something new is being added in the i n s t ruc t i ona l programin Patchogue next year. Called the achievement level team tech-nique , some teachers in River and Bay Avenue E lemen ta ry Schoolswill organize their teaching according to this new plan to determineits potential as a more efficient system of elementary ins t ruc t ion .

The idea has been formu ated asa result of several months of dis-cussion by a group of teachers andadminis t ra tors in the Patchoguesystem. Hours of planning haveresuited in set t ing up an organi-zation for a l imited experiment inthe two schools. In River Avenue,one grade each in grades. , onethrough six will be assigned tothis achievement level-team plan.The other grades in the schoolwill cont inue on the t r a d i t i on a lplan of instruction wi th one teach-er t each ing the single gradethroughout the ent i re day.

In Bay Avenue, one f i f t h and one.s ixth grade wil l operate on theachievement level - team p lan. Al lother grades in Hay Avenue willcont inue on the t rad i t iona l planof instruction. No other schools inthe system wil l he involved wi ththis achievement level-team plan.

The detai ls of the p lan involveboth the teachers and the class-rooms. Two teachers wi l l be asso-ciated in s t ruc t i ona l l y wi th twograde groups. Each teacher will beassigned his or her own class-room. The first difference in theachievement level-team plan isthat each teacher wi l l teach amore l imited subject area but toeach of the two grades. One ofthe two teachers wil l handle theEngl ish-socia l studies subject mat-ter whi le the second teacher willinstruct in the science , mathema-tics, health subject matter.

Each teacher wil l instruct onegroup in his or her subject area

for one-half day and wil l t henchange to the other grade groupthe second half of the day. Inother words , each toacher wi l l in-struct in a more l imit ed subjectmat te r area hut wi l l teach thissubject matter to two grades ra-ther than one. The grade groupswill spend the day in the twoclassrooms. Fur the rmore , each tea-cher will be associated w i t h eachstudent for a period of two ratherthan one year.

The advantages of the achieve-ment level- team ;il :>n arc to befound i n . b e t t e r i n s t r u c t i o n be-cause of t h e g r e -i t e r spec ia l i -zation t h a t will be possible on
