KFW YORK -Wt warnod you not to believe ail you heard about “Tobacco Road" cloning So Imagine our amazement when our doubts proved to have basis and foundation, aa they nay. When the few hundred New Yorkers and the few thou aande living in territory within bus, plane, ferry or train hopa from Broadway heard that the ancient nasty, which was Introduced to the public on December 4th, Iftl’i, seriously considered hauling the curtain down for the last time, they formed a line at the left which haa had a salutary effect on Mr. Jack Kirkland He's changed his mind. For the week after Mr. Kirtland's announcement, the bog office take, aa we say on the tower Bowery, waa 91.000 greater than the week before Last week the groas intake waa a bit over 17,000, or almost twice the average Income the Ky had enjoyed for something r the previous year. So It wag understandable that Mr Kirkland and hia confrere, Mr Harry Oahrin, decided to keep the old play grinding But the show remains, according to these gentlemen, on a week to week basis. They espect to have a good week when labor Day releases a slew of visiton on the city. After that they expect to hold on for another week, on the offchance that among the returning vacationist* ther« will be some who either hadn’t seen the play or would wish to see it.

I knowing their chances are get I ting slimmer That takes us to . about the middle of September. I Then it's anybody's guess. r Mr. Kirkland aspects to i achieve a run with the play in I Chicago. He figures that the political acene haa changed > somewhat since hr had a little i brush with the authorities In > the Windy City back la IMS. In that year of grace, the play • was shown for five weeks be I fore the politicos discovered ■ that it was unfit for their citii wnry. if for any reason these i gentry have changed their minds, Mr Kirkland and Mr. i Oahrin look forward to a profitable romp. If not. what Is there anyone can do about It? They expect to nvive the play, with a different victim playing the , Jeeter Iz-ster role at each per formatter, later in the year. The weather during the last two weeks has been kind to Thespis Not too much sun, a threat of rain, high humidity and the kind of heat that make* you swear because you can't do much about It. But it's helped Ute theatre conaiaeratNy in the matinee business. The musicals are enjoying profitable and com fortably filled houses. Well. It won't be tong before well be able to give you an Idea of what the slumbering Broad way stage has to say when it yawns its first yawn. We've tried to keep you from yawning by avoiding the Summer stage. The most you can say for it is that the bills look interesting — but they always do. That's aa tar as the interest goes, mostly.
