NEW YORK.—There'. enough to look at on Broadway, what j with a half dozen opening. smee last we met, but your correspondent assures you that look as you might, there’s eery little to hold the eye. Or maybe he might I temper the statement slightly by {eying that some of the playa' hold the eye and the mind stuns its toe and falls flat 1 ike -The | World We Make", which Sidney Kingsley has written from Millen Brand's book, "The Outward Room", There are, as the sayIng goes, two schools of thought regarding "The World We Make". It’s good theatre, and many a sin can be covered with it like whipped cream smothering a tea-room tart. It’s profound because if you're read the book then you have some idea of the terrific struggle through which Margo, as Virginia McKay, fights her way to sanity. But if yon drop in on the play without having read the book you will fuel that Mr. Kingsley has written a play from the movie standpoint —a Fiay far the eye—and that the tragedy of Virginia McKay become, secondary to the story of the people around her. All the same, "The World We Make" is a good show. It will make a better movie, because the problem of prerenting the Internal struggle of the girl in win ring back her sanity could be handled more fully. In any case, the story will never be told as well as the book tells it But Mr. Kingsley's try is a gallant one Harry Horner's settings are remarkable, the cast, with Rudolph Forster, Men Burry, Herbert Rudley and Ruth CherriH are competent, and Margo herself has at last been given a role she can sink her teeth into. "Thunder Rock" at the Monofield. on the other hand, is • wordy play by Robert Ardrey, about a young newspaperman who has turned hi* back on the world and built a new word fur t himself m a lighthouse on a def-

late spot in northern Lake Miehl|gan. It’s a little too much for your correspondent The idea’s not a Imd one. its development not bad, but the tout ensemble somehow falls short of being a play, despite the able acting of I Luther Adler, Morris Camov.ky, Frances Farmer and l*e J. Cobb. "Aries Is Risihg", by Caroline North and Earl Blackwell, might | very well be filling the John Golden Theatre now If it weren’t lor its lamentably weak first art. Constance Collier and Blanche Sweat do pretty well for themselves, but the little girl to beep i our eye on is Be mad me Hayes. She’s going some place. Soon. “Ring Two", Gladys Hurlbut’s comedy which has by now departed from the Henry Miller Theatre has the same weakness, except It’s In a greater degree. The first act la dragg> • T ’d • 1< ”- The comedy picks up nicely thereafter, and if George Abbott can shoo an expert into the picture he may yet wive the play, which isn’t at all bad. A lot better, in fact, than the critics would have Siu believe. June Walker. Paul cGrath, Betty Field and Edith Van Clove deserve a better break, and Miss Gene Tierney, like Miss Hays, is a comer. The season's getting wall under wet if two such youngsters as Bernadmo and Gene crop up within a nook. Betty Field's got a fat, juley part in “Ring Two" and she doee a lot with it. You'll remember her in "What a Life" and that slight English play about exchange of genders which came and went a couple of years ago. We ve forgotten the name of it. but it’s just as well. Betty’s still here and Betty is going to be. in time, one of the foremost young ladies of the American stage So that's that for the time being. We nope to be able to tell you something next week about Paul Muni, whom the critics appear to ’ be hailing as an artwr.
