43 Plays, Musicals On 1959 Broadway By WILLIAM GLOVER NEW YORK (AP) -- Events wonderful, whacky, gay and , grave crowded the 1959 show world parade. These were high spots as the year rolled by: Broadway eyed 48 new dramas and musicals, voted jackpot suc- cess to a lucky 13. Freshman playwright Lorraine Hansberry copped the drama critics' prize for A Raisin in the Sun, the Pul- jtzer went to Archibald Mac- Leish's J. B., and Fans scram- bled most for tickets to The Sound of Music. Veteran stars held sway su- preme, with only newcomers Sid- ney Poitier (in Raisin), Tom Bos- Jey (Fiorello!), Hal Holbrook (Mark Twain Tonight!) and mop- pet Patty Duke (The Miracle Worker) emerging to evoke big cheers. Success didn't always follow the famous, however. A play star- ring Janet Gaynor in stage debut *yolded on the tryout trial; so did a musical with Ginger Rogers. Lauren Bacall found Broadway ' bittersweet with personal bou- quets but show brickbats in Good- bye Charlie. SHORTEST GUN achieved by Masquerade (ome performance).

Human Bones Tip Arrows PORT MORESBY, New Guinea (Reuters) -- Human bones are used to tip the arrows of the Grassland People in Papua's rug- ged southern highlands district. Inter-tribal fighting is still com- mon among these naturally bel- ligerent people, most of whom have known government influ- ence for only a few vears. Outside the immediate area of the patrol posts in the district, the sturdy native people live much. as they have done for cen- turies, with eye-for-an-eye, tooth- for-a-tooth justice still prevailing. A senior official of the native affairs department who recently finished a term of duty at Mendi, the government headquarters for the district, said that inter-clan fights often broke out because the Inatives were bored with peace. "The district is gradually com- ing under government control, but it is a slow process among these people, who just like to fight," he said. A HAPPY ENDING AMSTERDAM, N.Y. (AP)---A family of nine lost all possessions, including unopened Christ- mas presents when fire destroyed their home Friday. But Mr. and Mrs. Alphonso Messineo, their six children and Mrs. Messineo's mother still consider themselves lucky. "Within two hours follow- |ing the fire we received some | money, new clothes and other necessities to tide us over," Mrs. Messineo said.
