BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM — l»«a»rllHi<Ml to »*••• »>Marm

N€W YORK Column colic, the ncwapapcrman's Summer complaint, naa «et in with a ven geance, and if you find that thia pillar of puerility doesn't offer brilliant and witty news of the theatrical world you have the choice of blaming (a) the weather; (b) the writer, and (c) the fact that actually there's very lit tie of breath-taking interest going on on Broadway at the present writing. However, you will be ple.iMil to hear that “Life With Father" haa passed the seven hundredthperformance mark and that, according to figures which sound as if they were taken right out of the New York telephone book, it haa cleared two million dollars (12.000,000> tor Mr. Russell (Buck) Crouse, Mr. Howard (Mustache) Lindsay and the gentry associated with that effort. In addition to this slight Item of financial Intelligence, you will probably also be glad to hear that Mr. Crouse, Mr. Lindsay; Mr. Frank Sullivan, the humorist, and a score of unidentified but estremely fortunate part time angels have money much, much money—pouring in from "Arsenic and Old Lace." Having been engaged in working on and wriUng for news papers for more years than is good for us. we assume »he right to challenge Mr. Crouse, who talks of money as if he were a privy councillor to t s e Treasurer of the United States. There is precious little precedent for taking millions of dollars In through the box office window, and newspapermen have, traditionally, been famous for penury and a gentle, If rather pensive disregard tor money. And who is Mr. Russell (Buck) Crouse, after all, but an ex newspaperman? By what right docs he, who like other caUouafingered typewriter pounders of his craft borrowed an occasional buck until pay day. now sprawl in the silken lap of luxury in an air conditioned suite at the Plaza? It's true that Mr. Crouse isn't an unmixed and untainted newspaperman, he having once been press agent for the Theatre Guild. He even publicized prizefighters. But he was, originally, a newspaperman, and achieved the eminence of a column In the New York Post, from which he took leave eight years ago to write two books. One, one assumes, was to have been the great American novel. The other, very likely, was to have been a sort of Emily Post manual for press agents, with a glossary of corny angles for new stunts. We have seen Mr. Crouse's fine and unItalian hand in the curtain calls for both "Life With Father" and “Arsenic and Old Lace,** and under the circumstances we suggest to all budding press agents that they shun Mr. Crouse and his methods. He's like a man from Mars who baa Invented a I

and indiiatrial practices on agriculture. He also han made aat tidy of the present war and defenae activity fn-relation to agriculture and devote considerable time to both topic*. Following hi* address, which usually runs about 3V minutes. the meeting will be open for questions from the floor. Hr. Montgomery, a native of Texas and son of a frontier Methodiat preacher, bat acquired a reputation aa a stimulating speaker with a knack for disinxsing thorny problems of agriculture in common language. This Is hl asecond appearance in the slate, as he addressed two similar meetings in Indiana last August.

musical Instrument which he can play and which baffles the whole wide world. At any rate be has not written a book. He went to Hollywcxxl and came back boast Ing that he no longer drinks (which we, being contrary, wouldn’t believe If it were attested under oath) and that he now dislikes the country and the hours before noon as much as ever. We Incline to the belief that Mr. Crouse has come back East only to go Hollywood, that he makes these outlandish claims because he knows no one in his senses wIU believe him. But so far as the money is concerned that two million dollars which “Life With Father" is alleged to have earned -we feel that we ought to accept as truth. After all, he has to pay the Government tax on it Yet two milion dollars is too much If he had said one million dollars we might have said yes. it's possible for a good play like "Life With Father" to make a millior,. But TWO milliona! We’ve always been carious about successful newspapermen who achieve their first million. These spatless and canelcss Journalists are simple and disin genious folk who like money because It to nice to spend. But we've never caught up with one yet. By the time the first million to safely in the bank they are either brokers, laundry operators, race track racketeers or tea tycoons. Gone the dlsingenlous attitude and that fine, fresh, youthful conviction that money was printed to be passed along. They hug the greenbacks to their bitter bosoms and sneer widely at their quondam colleagues. Mr. Crouse to no different. He launches loud tirades when Mr. Sullivan, in an expansive and hospitable moment, sends the cast of “Arsenic and Old Lace" a friendly note with the PS. that salaries an- to be raised fifty per cent So they never are. We don't quite believe that either Mr. Crouse or Mr. Sullivan can be entirely serious about having made two million dollars Nobody could make two million dollars and have that much fun. But we’ll let Uncle Sam worry about the truth of it He’ll find out. “Arsenic and Old Lace” Is still the best for your money if you want to laugh ami forget the weather. And “Life With Father” still gives you that twinge of nostalgia for the New York of your childhood, with gas lamps lighting the streets, paunchy cope with helmets and walrus mustaches, and the gentle calm of Sunday afternoons in an older and perhaps greener Central Park. If you’re coming to New York, count on seeing both these plays. You’ll be lining Mr. Crouse's already well filled pockets, but shucks, you’d spend the money anyhow.
