Twentieth Cen-tury-Fox carried three California alligators to Florida to use on the locations for “Swamp Water.” They didn't want to take a chance on Virginia Gilmore and others in the cast working with dangerous! Florida 'gators. Four of Ida Lupine's waltzes will bo available this fall on phonograph records. A music house also Is publishing two of the star's popular numbers, "Chasing After Love” and "After Girl.” It may surprise you but Ida says she would rather have lasting fame as a musician than as an actress. Funny about Betty Field and Wally Ford being cast together in the Warner picture, "New Orleans Blues.” He was in Broadway's “Os Mice and Men." She was in the Hollywood version. According to Betty, she never »aw the play and Ford never saw the picture. The two met for the first time on the sound stage. After years of trying. Ann Bothem finally caught a marlin swordfish off Catalina. It weighed 259 pounds. The star was so excited, she was calling everybody to tell the news. Harpo Marx’s fright-wig will be discarded when he appears on th< straw hat circuit next month ir "Yellow Jacket." But, in the sec ond act of tne play, he will wear i wig. Fred Fredericks of Max Fac tor's has just designed it for the star. It’s a Chinese wig with a two-foot braided queue. And it's bright rod! . . . Eddie Norris shouldn't have to do much research to play a medico in "Doctors Don’t Tell.” His father was a distinguished physician of Philadelphia. . . . What do you think the Andrews sisters are going to revive for a Decca recording T—Al Joison's hit, "Sonny Boy." ... Jimmy Cagney’s kid sister, Jeanne, is very popular these days.

BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM ==■>===■=■■■ tMwi pi tv | std

NEW YORK -It H«na to u< that tho thrw ortanl.’aPong now planning to give leu piked th«atrt on Broadway are waiting too long And we’ll lay al«, two and even that only one of the three stands a chance of survival That's the School Theatro FNftan, sponacnetf by the theatrical untaftf and the New Yorit City Board as Education. It made a good start recently when high school kids Jammed the theatre ter a matinee |*-r formance of Miss Katharine Cornell's "The Doctors Dilemma." A lot of the children saw a Mage play for the first time, and If ten out of a hundred ever go to the theatre again only two et that ten will find enough to attract them to the drama that they'll become habitual theatregoers. But two out of a hundred isn't bod at aIL The Theatre Guild is planning a season of popular revivals with a $2 20 top, and expects to run each play no longer than six weeks. Among the titles tenta tiveiy chosen are Andreyev's “He Who Gets Slapped." Carol Capek s "R U. R." Sidney Howard's “The Silver Cord,” Dußose and Dorothy Heyward's “Porgy;" Robert Sherwood's "Reunion in Vienna;" Maxwell Anderson's "Valley Forge" and Eugene O'Neil’s “Ah Wildemeu." Elia Kazan and Robert Lewis, of the Group Theatre. have launched plans tor production of one original American play at 11.10 tope, and expects to revive a classical play at that price. They also hope to produce B series of one-actera. We doubt that the Guild will find a 32.20 series of revivals either profltsble or advantageous "Twelfth Night" made money for the Guild at 33.30 because Miss Helen Hayes is so cute in pants. They can’t give Miss Hayes and Mr. Maurice Evans at a 82.20 top. If the Guild looks to levelling off the star system In its price reduction drive the result will be discouraging. And anyone who will pay 32.20 to see a good show on Broadway will pay S 3 30. There’s a possibility that the Croup Theatre idea may work An original play at 3110 will bring in the habitual theatregoer and a large quotient of transients who wouldn’t pay 32.20 bit would gamble on 81-’ 1 for an evening’s amusement .. costs about that much to go to a Broadway movie palace. The situation In which the stage finds itself is its own fault en-

Mrs. flellemeyer and daughter Martha, who preceded him here from the west, have returned from » visit in the east. Mr and Mrs. Oscar Smith of Taylorville were the weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Anker. They came here from Madison. Wisconsin where they visffed with Mr and Mrs. towrence Lina and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Mye’s visited with Mr. and Mrs. Rolland Hoch at Huntington. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hite. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Swick were among the visitors at Ihikagon State Park

11 tirely Good plays at 88 JO mak v money, and a lot of people wh< r ordinarily don't go to the thoatr » more than once or twice a yea i are glad to spend that sum to se< » something like “Life with Father' • or "The Com Is Green." o , "Watch on the Rhine" It's a.I aaar to produce good playa as I i Is turkeys On the whole, we be ! lieve that many a good piaj i doesn't get a chance bocaust t someone, somewhere, puts hb I foot down on the manuscript There's probably as much lack ' of intelligence in the playreadins 1 department of the theatres ai * there ia in the operation of res 1 taurants. Os course, you're lucky 1 to get something like 'The Com ' la Green" once in a decade, but 1 you don't have to waste time and money on tripe like "Popay", or ! "Boudoir,” or any one of a dozen 1 tragically inane plays which the 1 past season offered. Detroit used to be a good theatrical city. When the Ute Miss ' Jessie Bonstelle had her stock 1 company there she launched such ' luminaries as Miss Cornel], Ann ' Harding, Frank Morgan, Melvyn Douglas, and Gale Sondergaard on their professional careers On Miss Bonstelle’s death the theatre disintegrated. A two weeks' run for a good play with a good cast became the accepted maximum. But things are humming and "Life with Father" has been playing in the motor city six weeks, with every prospect of another six weeks of good business. Detroit is ripe for a good sound stock company. Where is It* It seems to us that a stock company wheel would bring the theatre more money and widen its usefulness to a much greater degree than revivals at 81.10 and 32 20 tops. The Group Theatre might join hands with the Guild in such an effort, establishing stock companies in the larger cities, changing them about periodically, say once a month, and giving them good, sound contemporary material There are, surely, enough good actors and actresses to whom such an idea would appeal. And in the course of the year each of the companies could get a crack at a month’s repertory work in the New York theatre We commend this plan-for free—to the prayerful consldera tion of the ladies and gentlemen who now run the stage on the good old laissez-faire or hit and i miss policy.
