super closeup, it’s Spencer Tracy Don't know if you see the "Jones Family" pictures, but Jed Prouty, who plays the father, is said to have been the tint man who ever sang the old classic. "Sweet Adeline." on the stage. He was a great friend of Harry Armstrong, the author, and was chosen to introduce the number. Armstrong, incidentally. is now reported in a New York hospital to undergo a throat , operation. Latest report is that Leo Carrillo will get that chance to be Hollywood good-will ambassador to South America in June . . . and that he will accompany Joseph M. Schenck to a film convention there. Reader wants to know what has become of Fernand Gravet. He went back to France after "The Great Walts" and his agent reports he is making pictures over there. If war breaks out, Gravet will be in the thick of it. He is a reserve captain in the French army.

Belle Baker, here to sing at I Marcel's, ran into the usual crowd of autograph seekers at the atai tion, but the kids failed to recognise the songstress, who was only a star before most of them were ■ bom.

Some ,i th * *s*P* look curiously like the traditional Dutch dances. 1 shouting and whistling and stamping, and none of the dances look like ballroom efforts. They appear to have the simplicity and dem<!£r*cy folk dancing. The twenty-seven acenes of the revue become slightly repetitious »>t«r the first hour and a half, but they're never uninteresting. I he scenery, as one might expect from south of the Rio Grande, Is riotous with color. The music s sprightly, rhythmic, infectious 1? ,n *lo«y, and the comments or Gnuiella Parraga, who speaks beautiful English without appearing to try, are amusing and sometimes gently sly. The Trio Lina are fine eccentric dancers. A negreas named Estela does some amazing things with her anatomy, and a personable young gentleman named Vicente Gomex plays the guitar as if he were bom with one in his hands. Most of the singing fell to Tito Coral and Rosita Rios, not strangers to American audiences, and there was some excellent traditional Spanish dancing by Marissa Flores and Jose Fernandes. The general effect of the revue was good A large audience liked it verymuch, though some of the humorous incidents were not quite, as we have said, of the Broad way

type of humor "Mexicana" is a good show to see It'U bo al the 4dth Street Theatre for a long time, so when you come to tow?, you'll get an opportunity to look at it and hear it. After a year of preparation, the Federal Theatre's "Sing for Your Supper" was unveiled at the Adelphi Theatre and gave 150 actors and the necesrary ground crews a chance to show what they could do for the WPA. it's a good shew, as good in iu way as the “Swing Mikado" is in its own field. That is to say that neither music, dancing nor book are top-notch musical comedy stuff of the commercial variety, but well worth the cost of the tickets and well done in its orbit. There's very little in the play which might be taken by tories as propaganda. One lively little song, “la-aning on a Shovel,” defends the WPA construction projects which have brought high blood pressure to thousands who don't like the administration or its works. About all that the actors have to sing is that so long as the porks and buildings and dams and playgrounds which the WPA has produced were built by leaning on one's shovel, it must be a pretty good way to get things done Pretty Virginia Bolen did a deal of singing and dancing. Carl Chapin played a comic admiral and Grover Whalen in two funny skits. He, Coby Ruskin and Edward Fuller were a fine trio of superannuated stagedoor johnnies in a skit called "We Go to the Theatre to be Amused." The music, by Lee Wainer and Ned Lehac was lively if patterned on rather well-known and reliable lines. The lyrics by Robert Sour are excellent and to the point Harold Hecht's direction keeps the play moving and the lighting, by Feder, is up to the best professional standards. We think you'd like "Sing for Your i Supper.” If you get the chance, ' drop in at the Adelphi.
