BROADWAY NIGHT? By AXEL STORM •

NEW YORK—Modastf appears to be on# of Broadway a failings. For instance. the critic* ara toying with the thought of making modort, unarrtuning William Saroyan the laureate of their annual »w® rd - They want lo choose ''Th# Tun# of Your Life' ae the p»aff worthiest their plaudit# for th# season. Just goes to show you ihot if you plug owoy, work hard, talk little and produce your art for art'* »ake you’ll get on. Your corre«pondent ha* an unfeeling and hardhearted attitude towards Mr. Saroyan. He feel# that Mr. Saroyan is the most overrated writer now pounding a typewriter in America. H# also feels that Mr. Saroyan la no morw a playwright than he in a modest and unassuming gentlsman. Mr Saroyan, if you don’t hap. pen to know it, has created himself in the image of all greatness. H* D, in hi* own ayes, a genius. To your correspondent he isn’t a genius. He isn’t a playwright. He'* not a good—or even fair—writer. He 7 *, let us confess it, a dreary bore. We’re fed up with Mr Saroyan and we hope you are, too, gentle reader. If the critic* crown him. th# critic* ate entitled to a collective duncecap. It’s hern known to happen before. In a pleasanter field, we join the critics in acclaiming “The Male Animal’’, ‘a comedy by James Thurher and Fllliott Nugent at the fort Theatre, an auspicious omen for 1940. Burns Mantle con»ider» It "ihe most stimulating theatregolrg adventure we have enjoyed -n weeks’’ and Ihe ronr#n,u« appear* lo bear out Mr. Mantle'* joyous whoop. The story revolte* around a
